Script is 75% Complete!
75% done on writing. This means the basic foundations have been completed including dialogue scenes. The demo will have a simplified route system, having only a normal route and new game+ route. As thus, it is recommended to play through the game twice.
Script is at over 15k words for the demo so far. This includes normal and ng+ route but it does not include flavor text such and glossary and bios. It's expected to run over 20k in the demo as outlined. There are just a few more scenes to finalize and the writing for the demo will be 100% complete.
Unfortunately, even though the writing is nearly done, art assets are far from finished. This will be the largest delay in getting the demo out the door. I would put a rough estimate of summer of 2020 for initial demo release. Things could easily be pushed back, likely for art.
We will be experimenting with real time outfit selections and an inventory for collecting them. This is something I truly hope will be implemented.
Demo will amount to 2-4 hours of playtime (assuming +-200 words per minute reading time).
Things to look forward to in the full game:
Siona's Extended Route
Rika's Route
New Character Route
"Arctia's" Route
Other goals depending on Kickstarter Success.
Otome Route as mentioned, is one of the goals.
Music for the demo will include 6 to 7 custom tracks for the OST. Currently the main menu music is finished. A preview will be posted in the future.
Demo will be partially voiced. Expect "snippet" type quotes for dialogues.
New Character will be officially revealed in late May/ Early June. No spoilers right now, but she (it's a female character) will play a heavy role with Arctia and Rayen in the dream world. She's only introduced in the demo and is not romancable.
