Thank you very much for your comment!! ^-^ I'm currently seeing how the KickStarter goes, but if that doesn't pan out, I'll be looking at other methods of financing the game.
The game will continue development with a revised campaign in a few months. I'll be paying for it as I was before, slowly but surely. I will probably also add more tiers. It's a difficult balance to strike! I may even just release one linear storyline and kickstarter additional routes.
Yep! The art style was always gonna change, given I used freebie assets initially. Still need to replace Aila but otherwise the girls are in their final-ish forms. :P Perhaps more poses, or an outfit change, but otherwise that's them!
I don't pretend to be an expert on mental health or DID, but I did a lot of research into it and watched accounts from people with DID. The way the girls are (I won't spoil it) but -- if they had a human psyche, it'd be very likely they'd have some level of multiplicity within their mental space. Kana is just the most affected.
I really appreciate the comment, and the fact you took the time to leave one! I'm really hoping this project carves it's own niche within the visual novel community, as there is overlaps to be sure, but I wanna contribute in my own way too! ^-^ Cute girls mixed with psychological horror is just something I really enjoy!
Hey! Thanks for the comment! Yumi & Haruka don't have actual expressions yet, I had to roughly draw them in. This is still a 'dev build' mostly. As for the 'broken' demo, that'll still be available, and there's way more story to get into. There won't be any file manipulation, per say, but ARG elements do exist. ^^
Hey! As mentioned to a previous comment of the same nature, I won't be able to leave the other sprites in the final/fuller version of the game.
"I would love to be able to provide the original sprites, the only issue is that 1. I'm not going to be adding any additional poses/necessary assets for them. So they're as they currently are, in a sense. And 2. I don't own the complete rights to those sprites, and I don't want the company who made them to surprise me by saying 'oh yeah you had rights except X Y Z'. They are 'free to use' for commercial projects, but I'm still nervous to use them.
However! I will be assisting with the community who may want to mod the game, and the original sprites are available in a separate project. As such, if people want to mod the game to have the original assets, that'd be doable. I just personally cannot make that content, given it'd double the amount of work that goes into coding the sprites, and the file size would be impacted, too. I also cannot make CGs match the old sprites. ;-; I'm very sorry!"
So I'm fine if people want to retain the old games, and have the old sprites, but the game overall is moving away from them to ensure that they're fully our own and not secretly infringing on any copyright. I'm fine if people want to mod the game and re-add them later down the line, as I'm gonna allow for mods, but I personally don't want to linger on them because I prefer the new sprites way more AND I cannot hope to future-proof the art assets to keep up with what will be done in-game. ^^

it's still a dev build for Haruka and Yumi. I kept the expressions clearly different so when I'm changing them for their official pieces I can tell they've been changed. ^^
I'm glad there weren't too many issues, though I'm sure I'm gonna go back over it to double check! The game is gonna remain free to play, but the sound track + some wallpapers will be offered for $10 as a way to support myself and the team!
Oh hey thank you!! Yeah I wish I had more time in the day to be able to do both at the same time. ;-; but I also have to work a job and do YouTube AND ETSY its a cluster of things. Glad you enjoyed tho!!
Hey!! Thank you so much for playing & providing me with some gameplay to look at! I'm sorry about the glitchy sprites, I changed them with this update (with two girls having temporary expressions + the proper two still having some missing assets). But your video was super professional, and I hope you continue to enjoy the game! :D
At the moment, the game is around a PG13 at worst. This may change eventually tho, so please don't play if you're unsure. ^^ But yeah, right now, nothing too bad except some dark themes.
Thank you so much for this game! I saw it on Twitter and intended on playing it, and I think I managed to play it at the perfect time. It's a very complete experience, and I enjoyed the format of the dialogue. Very awesome, and thank you for making it!
Hey! So, so glad to hear you enjoyed the experience! I'm glad her character is enjoyable, and doesn't feel too out of place with how she acts. It's justified in later stages of the game, but for now, I'm so glad to hear you like her! :D
Thanks for letting me know! The bug has since been fixed and an updated demo will be out later in July! :D Once all the girls have their updated sprites!
Hey! I'm definitely gonna be bringing this game to a finished stage, and have been working on it in the background for a while! Keep your eyes peeled! :3
I may very well take you up on that offer! Email me at hexvexed @ Gmail . Com if you have rates etc. I’d love to have this translated. ^_^ Thank you for the kind words and the dedication!!
