Hello everyone, and welcome to the first Progress Report for Episode 2!

What is the plan for Episode 2?

Good question! Over the next couple of days, we are going to be releasing a bunch of posts talking about the Future of Hazelnut Latte and our plan for Episode 2! So stick around because we're doing daily info drops!

Once the posts are all out, we are going to hold a special Livestream Q&A on YouTube! So be sure to hit the notify button so you can join us live on Wednesday, August 12th, at 9 AM Pacific Time! https://youtube.com/live/orTdqwcfGeo 

Coding

Not much to say because Lotus is hard at work right now trying to get v0.15.5 completed! But expect a hotfix for that. The gallery proved to be VERY difficult, and our dialogue tool sorta crapped the bed the night before the release.

Animation

Half of the lewd scenes are animated for this first update, with the second scene making very good progress.

Our other animator is still having a rough time moving, so unfortunately those old special moments will have to wait.

Music

I don't think the music will be ready for release, but Lolurio has started work on the score for Episode 2! I listened to a demo track this morning that was really good and had a sick groove to it.

Illustrations

All special moments, lewd scenes, and backgrounds are done for this update! Kokman is currently drawing stuff for v0.16.1, and Kikii is drawing backgrounds for v0.16.2.

Writing

Frisbee has done her draft of this update, so I am going to give it a pass-through soon, and then we want to do a table read. I am knee-deep in Episode 3, so it'll be fun to bounce back and tweak Ep 2 stuff.
