Hello Testminds, I'm glad to finally bring you updates on the Episode 0 Prologue of ShadowCircuit: Ioda.

Recently, Lithium hit a bump in the road and due to certain circumstances, for a small time, our team had shrunk. Luckily, we were able to expand larger than before and acquire three new members. In absence of updates in the last two weeks, we have been catching them up to speed and working extra hard to recover for the time. We've made great strides. Our new writer, Kayla, has been super motivated and the entire writing team has near and completed the script for Episode 0. We are adding the last few details to provide a rich, creative and exciting slew of characters and events that we know a lot of you will enjoy.

Kayla would like to inform everyone that the script will be done soon and surely more details will be available for everyone.

As per the last post, we will be discussing the pricing model for ShadowCircuit Episode 0 and all future content. Lithium is a passionate team. We deeply care about the balance of visuals, gameplay, and narrative. And we want everyone possible to experience an exciting and fulfilling experience. For that reason, we will be utilizing the Name Your Price option for all ShadowCircuit Visual Novel content. We understand not everyone may have much or any funds to our visual novel, let alone games in general. And we are making sure that won't stop you from experiencing the universe we are crafting. The ShadowCircuit visual novel series will be available for the Name Your Price option on GameJolt, and itch.io. This allows everyone to experience ShadowCircuit, while still giving an avenue for those who feel like supporting us to do so, with no pressure or inconvenience. We want everyone to experience this journey will us and to provide feedback and to help us grow and develop better stories.

ART ART ART!!!!!!! The core of any visual novel is of course, the visuals. And we have been making steady strides to providing a world and its characters. Our main focus is finishing up the scenes and remaining characters and being able to showcase. You can see a few attached WIP's in the making. We have been able to expand our art team and will soon be doing frequent posts on that front. We hope to hear your thoughts and criticisms soon as we reveal more.

You may have seen that several music MP3's above. These are the ShadowCircuit: Ioda OST's. Our composer Sintacts has been working tirelessly on creating music and sounds that'll further enhance the experience for everyone in our game. As we continue to develop the soundtrack, they'll be available for everyone to listen. We hope you enjoy the OST.

That sums up the current updates for ShadowCircuit: Ioda. We are eager to get some feedback from everyone, and provide answers to questions, suggestions, etc.
