February devlog


Hi everyone! It's been a busy month for me so I haven't finished everything I set out to do, but there's still some good progress:

Art:

I did a second pass on Eira's kiss and first NSFW CG, so they're done! I also drew two new backgrounds! I also made progress on Kyros and Eira's jealousy CG. I have yet to write the scene though so I won't rush it, in case I have a neat idea while writing that requires changing aspects of the CG.

Writing:

I wrote 8k words! The script now stands at around 38k words.

A large chunk of that is in variations you'll see in different playthroughs: depending on what you told each love interest about your plans for your relationship (whether you'd like to be monogamous or poly, and if the latter, who would be involved), a scene involving all three of them will have tons of variation!
If you've played THJ you know I love little variants you may or may not ever see, and I went overboard there as I did with THJ :') I'd like to write a more in-depth devlog about this soon, but the gist of it is that the poly endings really require honesty/communication with everyone involved, and you'll need to inform them of your plans at a key time. Leaving anyone out of the loop will lead to many awkward scene variants (and in Eira's case, she'll decide not to pursue a relationship! I'm actually writing her breakup variants right now) and lock you out of some endings. It takes a lot of writing but I really want the relationships to feel organic and realistic! There'll be more awkwardness/opportunities to break up in later scenes before the endings.
When the full game is released I will explain this a bit more and explain how to get the different endings! They'll mostly be straightforward, but since there's plenty of endings it would be good to have a guide.

My plan for March is to finish Eira's breakup variants and write most/all of Kyros and Eira's jealousy scene, and make more progress on/finish the CG for that scene. I'm nearing the end of the main route content in terms of scenes (there's only two/three scenes left after that) but I expect the wordcount to still be substantial, since at this stage of the script there's many variants to write.

Thanks for reading!
