Hello all! Lots of exciting stuff going on.

First and foremost, I've said it before but I'm super excited and I will probably say it ten more times, WE WERE FUNDED ON KICKSTARTER! 🎉 I am still in a state of disbelief. I'm the kind of person who deals with those constant voices in my head telling me I'm not good enough, it'll never happen, so to see so many people come out and support this dream has been really inspiring and validating. So THANK you! If you pledged, thank you! If you liked a post, thank you! If you sent a kind word, thank you!! All of you helped make this happen. 

Okay. I'm done being emotional. Onto the updates!

Aalam's Route

Aalam's route is in full beta testing! 🥳 I've already found some issues with balancing thanks to the testers, so I'll be adjusting point levels and thresholds until the 'difficulty' is where I want it to be. As I've mentioned before I want it to be fairly easy to get a good end, with some effort put in for the bad and best ends. 

Sahi's Route

I have started editing Sahi's route. ✅ I've implemented tester feedback, and have moved on to second drafts for the latter scenes. I'm on scene 20, which is just before the endings branch off, so I'm making good time! I except to be finished by the end of October.

Love Letters

The love letters have been sent to the VAs for recording! ❤️‍🔥They will be in .mov format so they can be both read and heard, and I will also package in a plain text file and a .wav file so that they can also be just read or just listened to. 

Backer Surveys

I have to wait two weeks from the end of the campaign to confirm all pledges have been collected, and then I'll be sending out backerkit surveys! Once that happens, I will be sending out love letters shortly after. 

Min Art

I'm compiling a list of additional assets I'll need for the sprites, such as extra outfits, accessories, etc. I am also considering making sprites for horseriding scenes, for a little more immersion. Would it be worth it? 🤔

Conclusion

Overall, I'm making excellent time! I can't wait to hear feedback for Aalam's route. There's still a lot of polish that will need to go into it, but right now my top priority is making sure the story is overall one that people enjoy and are satisfied with by the end. And of course, is something you'll want to play again and again!
