Hi, everyone!

For this month's release I had a crack at writing one of the oldest unwritten story paths in the game. The part where Kyou has second thoughts about what he's doing right at the end of Penlight's very first storyline: Delusion.

I haven't really looked back at my old work all that much, so this was an interesting experience. I think what's there mostly holds up pretty well, although there's a fair amount of early installment weirdness with how the characters express themselves. Not to mention the sprite art has advanced so much since those early days! With that in mind, I couldn't resist making tons of little tweaks to the script and sprite animations to bring it more in line with the rest of the game. Nothing fundamental's been changed, but I think it looks a little better now.

As for the new writing... well, it's unfinished as I dithered with the script and then completely ran out of time. Still, what's there lays out how things will go for Kyou after making such a last minute swerve from total disaster. I hope it makes enough sense at least, and I'll be wanting to finish it off real soon~

Oh and before I forget, I had a CG made for the ending of last month's story path on Hiroko's route, so do go back and check that out!

What's New

  • WRITING: New script added to the Delusion storyline for when Kyou agrees with the girls during the climactic scene

  • WRITING/CODE: Numerous little tweaks and adjustments to the script and sprites during the Delusion storyline

  • ART: New CG has been made that appears in the latest ending of the Hiroko Ticklish storyline

  • Word count is now around 421,000

  • LOCALIZATION: Various edits and corrections to the existing Spanish script

  • Some typo and grammar corrections
