Hey, dudes. Sorry that it has been so long since we've actually posted something.
No, the project is not dead. It was for a bit. Artists computer exploded and we lost the text box and a couple of CGs. It was pretty discouraging and we got so lazy we didn't really make any progress for many months, but, we were taunted on an anonymous image board and decided that we should get back to work on this project.
We have made significant improvements to the project, like replacing placeholder backgrounds with real backgrounds, stealing the busts of the characters from the games and putting them in there, as well as a WHOLE NEW SCENE! That's right!

Don't think... feel. |
After three tries, I have finally written a good Chie scene. It's a thigh job. Isn't that hot? It's time for Chie to get serious, just like us!
The scene has been fully written, all of the pictures have been drawn and it's in the game right now! Unfortunately though, you can't play it just yet. We plan to have at least four scenes in the game before we release some kind of playable version. Once we have four scenes in, we will obviously continuously update the game. Our goal is to have at least two playable scenes for each main girl, and if the game is successful after that, we may add in secret or additional scenes. (Elizabeth and Margaret?) If you couldn't tell, the game is being made in Flash. I know, it sucks, but it's the only thing I know how to make a game like this using and allows the freedom that I would like. There are automatic visual novel makers that let you drag and drop, but those wouldn't be good enough.
As for the filesize concerns, we've decided: Fuck it. We're just going to put in a ton of images and a ton of music and if it ends up being 150MB or so, we'll just have to host it ourselves or force users to download it. Sorry!
Now, onto the important things. We currently need to write, illustrate and implement one more scene before we can release this game for you guys to play, along with that, I am looking on implementing music, sound effects and most importantly, visual effects! Things like little flashes, exclamation points, musical notes, or even flowers! Just like the game!
Anyway, keep your eyes peeled. I won't be updating this blog EVERY week like I originally tried to do, but things are back on track, everything is backed up and nothing besides my shitty pizza job are going to stop me from making our dreams a reality. also today, october 8th is my birthday (´・ω・`)
