GUI Preview: Route Selection Screen!
🕑 Added 2023-05-30 02:28:59 +0000 UTCI've nearly forgot about sharing a preview for this, highlighting a very important aspect of the new content in development! ^^"
Ds-sans recently finished working on the route select screen and here's how it'll look! Of course without the MA and studio logos when seen in-game. :P
The idea for the screen's visual was to work in the school theme with making the background a notebook. The route select stuff itself is meant to come across as sort of a photo album, kind of like something you might expect from a yearbook to highlight moments and events during the school year, hence the photos behind the chibi's and overall that was the line of thought in putting together this exciting gui screen that marks a highlight moment for MA. ^^
What isn't pictured, is the two main oc character routes and a hidden route, with the later being focused on at the end of development. The two main oc routes will be tackled along the way during development at fitting moments. The idea is that you'll flip the notebook page to another page, where it'll showcase these oc routes and the hidden route. (We're working on how to visually make this look good, as we don't want it to feel like players land on this gui screen above without any indication of there being another page to view. ^^" )
Anyways! I'll cut my post short, no need for me to ramble on much more. :P This has been a long time coming to get this screen done and I'm happy it is, as it'll be seen at the end of episode 5 content and it'll be wise to create a separate save slot at the screen.
What do you think about the route select screen? Let us know your thoughts!

Fair enough. Thanks for understanding, btw.
No worries! ^^" I don't want to spoil too much, but it's a bit of a mixed bag. Erika's sibling relationship is trying to be restored and get back into the swing of things like they had it long ago when growing up, but there is awkward feelings that Erika has bottled up. <.< What might be possible, since I do know the subject matter isn't for everyone. We can possibly leave it into player's hands to shift the focus for Erika, allowing people to focus much more on a sibling bond together without it evolving into anything else. Other players can lean more into how things unfold along the way in another way though. (Can't fully confirm this yet as there's a bit of stuff to cross reference and see if it'd fit.)

Um...I don't mean to be a downer, but I do hope Erika's route is going to be more focused on continuing to restore and repair her and Brandon's sibling relationship as opposed to a romance route like the others (I don't know about you, but incest isn't exactly what I would call a comfortable player route).🤔
