Several things on my mind

Hi everyone, let's start with the obvious...

As you can see above, I've already begun working on the renders, so there isn't much more to add there. I'm going to risk saying we'll have about 280 to 300 renders. If I end up going over my estimate yet again, I'll likely stop sharing this specific metric.

​Now, let's talk about what's been on my mind. Lately, I've been re-evaluating the overarching script—meaning the conceptual roadmap for the entire story, not just the text for this latest update. No matter how many times I review it, it looks like I'll ultimately need to implement player choices. This news probably won't come as a shock, since the vast majority of VNs feature them. My original plan was to keep this a completely linear story, but I don't want to force a single path onto the players either. I will share more thoughts on this in the future.

​Next is the pacing of the narrative. I am intentionally taking my time to provide context and establish the character dynamics and their roles. I know this might not sit well with everyone, mostly because people are used to instant gratification nowadays. But I firmly believe everything needs a proper justification, and the MC's core traits should be respected from the start (though, of course, their perspective will evolve over time). Additionally, please keep in mind that not all appearing characters are meant to be love interests—something I plan to explain down the line. There is more to discuss, but I'd rather not overwhelm you all with too much info at once.

​I'll keep you posted on the render progress soon. Take care and have a wonderful day!
