Hello Everyone,

I've been trying to animate a lot of the scenes by hand so I can get better. Progress has slowed a little bit because of that. The proofreading has given me lots of feedback too.

Update:

• Maps: 100%

• Writing: 99%

• Animations: 60%

• Scripting: 30%

Since the last update I started posing the animations and I noticed some inconsistencies between the scaling of the models. I've tweaked the models for Chizuru, Ruka, and Umi. There were also no good models for Kazuya, so I made one from scratch and It came out quite well. I still need to tweak some parts of it but its essentially done. This took quite some time as I've never created 3D models before, so making sure they match the aesthetics was consuming.

I'm hoping that by practicing animating and creating models, I can be entirely self sufficient. I'd like to try my hand at writing music eventually, even if its simplistic so I can better capture the mood of scenes.

But I wont fiddle with music until I have time for it.

I've also added 2 new outfits for Chizuru, both outfits will have scenes tied to them and will be in the next update. I'll provide a sample below.

As for the timing of the release? The timing for this scene won't be this weekend. I really had to adjust the models and getting back into the groove of animating has been sluggish. There's also been some real life problems, work-related.

I apologize, I do this every time and I imagine it must be tiring. Please bear with me and I'll be able to provide a more concrete date soon. All I can say is that it'll be before the end of the month, for certain.

The result will be worth it I believe. A ton of setup was done in this update regarding overall story and upcoming scenes, for later updates. Thank you for your patience.

Thank you for your patience.

大家好，又是一次稍微晚了一点的更新。

这段时间我一直在手动制作大量动画来提升自己的水平，因此整体进度稍微放缓了一些。同时，在校对过程中也收到了很多反馈，需要逐步消化和调整。

• 进度更新：

• 地图：100%

• 剧本：99%

• 动画：60%

• 脚本：30%

自上次更新以来，我开始正式摆放动画姿势，并发现模型在比例和缩放上存在一些不一致的问题。因此我对千鹤、瑠夏和海的模型进行了调整。另外，由于一直没有合适的和也模型，我决定从零开始自己制作一个，效果比预期要好很多。目前只剩下一些细节需要微调，整体已经基本完成。
由于这是我第一次制作3D模型，为了让它们在美术风格上保持一致，这部分花费了不少时间。

我希望通过不断练习动画和模型制作，未来能做到完全自给自足。之后我也想尝试自己创作一些音乐，即使是比较简单的配乐，也能更好地传达场景的情绪。不过在时间允许之前，我暂时不会在音乐方面投入精力。

另外，我还为千鹤新增了两套服装。这两套服装都会有对应的场景内容，并会在下次更新中加入。下面我会放出一个示例。

关于发布时间，这次的内容无法在本周末完成。模型调整加上重新找回动画节奏的过程比预期要慢一些，另外现实中也遇到了一些与工作相关的问题。

很抱歉我经常遇到这样的情况，可能会让大家感到疲惫。还请再多给我一点时间，我会尽快给出一个更明确的发布日期。可以确定的是，这次更新一定会在本月底之前发布。
我相信最终的成果会值得等待。这次更新中已经为整体剧情和后续场景完成了大量铺垫，将对之后的更新产生很大帮助。

感谢大家的耐心与支持。
