Hey, peoples!

This update is, as I teased last time, a mixed bag of stuff. I've poked around at multiple storylines and added bits of new script and outline to each of them as I tried to settle on one or another. All those greyed-out choices are finally starting to get some attention and maybe I'll be in with a chance of actually finishing writing Penlight one of these days xD

Artwise it's been another fantastic month. The Redemption storyline has its first illustrations now, and Sayori's Doll story gets a couple more, but the highlight is the new one for Nozomi's Trance story. It's so much fun, and I know a lot of people will appreciate that scene coming to life with the CG in place~

Hope you enjoy this one! Next month will see me trying to focus on one of these new story branches with a view to finishing it, and there'll be some more great illustrations to come so look forward to that~

What's New

  • Ticklish Hands: Added the option for Kyou to refuse help and then change his mind

  • Ticklish Hands: Added the option for Kyou to refuse help and take advantage of the situation, written up to about halfway through day 5, the "Trickster" path

  • Villainous Robot: Added the "I can't keep doing this" choice

  • The first part of the "Become my girlfriend" choice on Nozomi's Trance path has now been written

  • Two new CGs for Sayori's Doll storyline

  • New CG for Nozomi's Trance Storyline

  • Edited the bedroom scene of Nozomi's Trance storyline, expanding it slightly to make better use of the new CG

  • A couple of new scenes outlined for the Reversal storyline, and some edits made to existing script

  • Wrote a little more for the Villainous Robot storyline, along a previously unavailable path ("No, I need to chill out")

  • Word count is now around 262,000

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

  • Updated the end credits with the latest backers

  • Minor typo corrections

Known Issues
