1.26 Progress Report

I really do hope Asuna ends up getting nipple rings, or one of the girls gets them.

Hi everyone, I had an idea for the bad ending. If Asuna were forced to get a tattoo, what could be better than a Laughing Coffin group tattoo? For example, if one of the bosses is a follower of the Laughing Coffin group, I think it would be great. I don't know, but I'd like to hear your opinions, and yours too, Fuji, if possible. Thanks.

I forgot to mention that all the bugs I've reported previously (and those in this message) are from the English version. These are the latest bugs I've encountered from "5/31" to "7/20" in that version: On "7/12", during the flashback scene between Asuna and Inoda, the text appears incomplete (off-screen) midway through the event, and an error message pops up indicating that an image is missing: "img/pictures/712". On "7/13", something similar happens during Kirito's dream: the text goes off-screen. Additionally, in the memory room, some summaries of Yui's memory events from "7/15" also partially go off-screen. Starting on "7/17", in Asuna's status menu, her mouth expression is permanently stuck on "oral" (it doesn't change). On day "7/19", when Kirito returns to his room, he merges with the memory from day "7/18". After the memory ends, he appears in the memory room; upon exiting the memory world, the screen goes black and it's impossible to continue. This bug occurred in a playthrough started from the beginning to the end. However, if I start a new game directly from day "7/16", the events flow normally. Around day "7/17", the auto-dialogue plays as if it were skip-dialogue (it advances automatically). This is fixed by starting a new game from day "7/16". On day "7/19", after viewing the bathroom memory, the sound of the event continues to loop until it initiates other events. These are the bugs I've encountered in the English version during this part of the game. I apologize if there are many or if I'm repeating some of the previous reports. Thank you for your continued work, and I hope these details help you improve the version.

Greetings, 淺上フジノ. I hope you're doing well. I'm finally caught up with the game up to day 7/20, on Dark Kirito's route. I couldn't be more intrigued to see how you'll develop future events. On another note, I finally understand what some people meant when they said you started using AI. I was worried that it would change the animation style, but I only saw the scenes from day 7/18 and honestly, they didn't bother me, although the stylistic discrepancy is noticeable. For these kinds of small side scenes that appear in a corner, if you wanted to continue using AI to animate them and save time, you could animate the scene the way you normally do and then animate it with AI. That way, the stylistic difference would be significantly reduced, and the aesthetic that characterizes your work would be better maintained. I'd love to see more of these kinds of events (like Kirito's imagination), they're fantastic! On the other hand, speaking of routes, I've seen that some people have doubts about adding multiple routes to the game, and others simply don't like them. Personally, I love it when a game includes different routes to explore diverse possibilities without straying from the main theme, which in this case is NTR. Although for now I'll only stick to Dark Kirito's route, and once the game's development is finished, I'll calmly explore the other routes—especially that hidden route I haven't been able to unlock yet. That's why, besides being excited about the classic normal route where Kirito loses to Inoda, I'm also very interested in seeing what a revenge route from Kirito would be like, an NTRS route where both Asuna and Kirito enjoy seeing each other in relationships with other people, or even a route where everyone loses (everything goes wrong, chaos erupts, and the worst possible ending happens for all the characters). Of course, developing different routes would take time, so I fully support you taking all the time you need to refine your ideas and narrative, with the goal of finishing this game in the best way possible and, above all, in a way that satisfies you. Honestly, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to receive negative feedback and how it might affect you, but I want you to know that you have my full support to continue developing this game exactly as you want. While it's great to consider the opinions of those of us who support you, in the end, this is your game, and you'll know what you want to show the player—that's precisely the charm of developing a game. I apologize if I seem arrogant or out of place; I just want to express my sincere support and my desire to see what you have in store for the game's future, all at its own pace, without pressure. Remember to enjoy what you do and take good care of yourself. Cheers!

Nice. So it seems we are getting an amazing Asuna and Inoda scene and an Kyoko and Inoda scene. I'm so very very ready for the Asuna and Kyoko threesome. I'm also dying to see Yui and Inoda. It just feels like it's time for them. Very excited to see where this update goes with it.

Nice to see the update is coming along. As someone said. There’s no need to rush things to deliver the update this weekend. Take another week if you need it. Take care of yourself first.

Titanic work, fujino sansei. Titanic!

加油浅大！！！！

Take an extra week to finish it and it looks like you can finish it pretty comfortably by then

Nice almost done, great work mister fujino
