🕑 Added 2024-11-30 12:18:32 +0000 UTCHello folks! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, or at least a good autumn outside the states. Here's a quick status update on the progress of the next TB build.
I'm currently aiming for the update to drop sometime next week! Apologies for the slight delay, but prepping for the holidays for family took up a bit more time than expected, and the extra week will really give me a bit more breathing room. Thank you for the understanding!
As for the update itself, it comes in 2 parts: the main story content and a new mini-episode involving Grank/Cole! The main story content will be a little on the small side, around ~7000 words. The story segments that come after this update will be on the art-heavy side, so I decided to end the chapter at a very specific point to prepare.
In terms of progress, the main story segment has 2 new illustrated backgrounds, 8 overhauled sprites for Agatha, and 4 overhauled sprites for "Rosie."
Agatha's sprites have been converted to WEBP format, reducing the file size from 1150KB to 460KB.
"Rosie" has received similar treatment, reduced from 238KB to 159KB (new sprite included).
Since the main story content is on the shorter side, I figured I'd use the time to add another mini-episode, this time featuring the Grank/Cole scene that folks have been asking me for since Chapter 2! I'm aiming for this episode to be around ~5000 words and it will contain 6 CGs and utilize that Grank/Cole animation that I released to the Bonus Arts section months ago. Here's a quick preview of the WIPs (which you can view on the Discord as well):
And in other news, I've moved most of my social media presence from Twitter to Bluesky. If you're looking for VN news, art posts, and low-quality shitposts, feel free to follow me there!
Thank you all for your support and patience! ;w;/

I'm glad you think so! I'm always nervous that my pacing is slow compared to other VN creators out there ;w;

Dang, even more meat to get into? It’s impressive how fast you work for being primarily a one man show
