Extracurricular Milestone
I wanted to make this its own post because it's a huge deal to me, but with update 1.172...
Extracurricular Activities has officially broken a 2,00,000 word count! Guys, that's Two MILLION words in the visual novel that are spread across the 7 routes. It's hard for me to fathom that I've written so much for this project. What's more is that I still have PLENTY more to write.
It's fun to put it into perspective too. A certain fantasy wizard series has just a little more than 1 million spread between all of its books. Game of Thrones has around 1.7 million. Lord of the Rings is just over half a million. Wild, right?
This VN is huge now, grown far beyond what I ever anticipated it to do. I never would have thought things would grow to be so big!
It's all largely in part to all of the amazing and wonderful support I get from all of you. This project wouldn't be what it is with you all, so thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of it <3 I'll keep working hard to improve things and to keep bringing you content to enjoy~
As well, Happy Pride Month to you all! Be proud of who you are, and don't forget, even if you're not ready to come out yet or haven't figured it all out yet, there's always plenty of time. You don't have to rush it <3
Thank you all again and have an amazing weekend / month!

Congrats Dyne, love you work and the VN has helped me a lot dealing with some personal stuff, also yay pride month!

I almost didn't try this game, because i thought extracurricular activities and tennis aren't my thing. I'm really glad i still tried it and can now help you fulfill one of your dreams and i'm getting so much joy out of reading your work. You are really a wonderful writer. Thanks <3
Thank you for giving it a shot! I'm really glad you've enjoyed it~

Huge congrats on reaching this massive milestone! Its honestly nice to see how far this project from even in passong from humble beginnings, an art style shift and where we are now with the last two routes nearing their end! Can't wait to see the vn completed and see what else you have in store for us!
Thanks, Snowden! It really has grown a toooon! Dwayne's route is right at that half way point already, and Richard's route is moving quickly. Kinda crazy!
Congrats; that's totally amazing! Also, we need more plushies stat. There must eventually be a complete collection including Maria. ;-)
Thanks, thanks! There is hopefully one in the works, so.... I'd love to see them all!
Holy shit
Yeah, I agree!
Congrats, Dyne. This is truly amazing. A Happy Pride Month for you and your hubby as well.
Thank you, Hikaru!
It's more than just the number of words; the sheer number of cutscenes and sprites, the amount of branching paths, and the number of lines of code I'm sure are absolutely insane! You and your team have got a lot to be proud of!
There's a ton in there FOOOOR sure! It's really come a long way~
Many congrats Dyne. Been following and supporting this wonderful VN for the last 7 years. (Seriously where has the time gone!?). Here's to many more years to come :D
