I'm happy the demo is successfully loaded and playable here, but...(more in article, please read)

So the size of the demo web build for the Return to Eternity visual novel game is about half a gigabyte (445MB).

Logically, I am estimating the full game's web build to be at least 4GB upon completion, which means that I will have to appeal to GameJolt and Itchio staff for sufficient space....if applicable.

The demo's reception on either here or Itchio will determine where the full game will be uploaded. If people like the demo, I will go through the effort to try and have the full game uploaded here when it's complete. Same for Itchio. If it fails everywhere, I'm still making the full game, but will only share with those who make known that they want to play. If you don't have a computer with which to play, you can still support via post engagement and getting the word out!

Keeping in mind that I am making this game for free and I lack a lot of money, talent and time that other Ren'Py developers do....I'm not gonna say my hopes are very high, but I am proud of the demo and I hope you will like it too. There will be a poll in the coming weeks (toward the end of full game development).

HELLO CLASS!

Today on this lovely #ScreenshotSaturday, we're gonna go over the two different kinds of non-sprite art you will see in the game - backgrounds and CGs (which I abbreviate for "cutscene graphics")!

Read the article for the whole lesson.

On tap for today, we have another in-story CG from the up-and-playable #demo (wink wink) complete with an article full of rambling on the game's development!

Said rambling is in the article, but hopefully you consider enjoying the demo anyway!

Here we have the concept art of Lilac, the protagonist of my very first VN game: "Equals Aftermath: Begin Anew"!

Short and simple with 4 characters, 6 songs and a wholesome story, it's a sweet little breather between other games!

The storyboard is technically made up of cutscenes, but a lot of shots were redrawn as CGs for the visual novel game.

This is NOT one of them, but describes a "canon event" for the game.

Read article for more of my usual rambling and subtle encouragement.

IMPORTANT GAME #UPDATE COMIN THROUGH!

I know I've been pelting yall with "Dollar-Store TED talks" lately cos the topics ravage my mind and keep me from working till I get them out, so here is a nice little break from all of that...

No I'm not giving context, that's the role of the full game
