Hello everyone. I know the wait for the second chapter has been long, but the script is truly in the home stretch now!

Ever since the start of this year, I have been hard at work to put more progress into this game. This has been a huge improvement over all other development months. This chapter’s script is near completion, several assets have been sketched out, and I’ve even created new graphics for this next update.

The script for chapter two is already around the size of chapter one, and I still have a few more things to write! So you'll get lots of extra content with this next update. There are some really fun choices and scenes coming up, and I'm really excited to see people finally play it.

I also learned how to code a CG gallery for the game :D

I still don’t want to put a set date for the next chapter, but if progress keeps going at its current pace, the next big update will hopefully be complete by the end of August (fingers crossed!). And with it, all other chapters will take much less time. This chapter is the most asset heavy of them all. So many backgrounds and new sprite art to do...

Here’s some screenshots of the current progress! (These are still work-in-progress, so it may look a bit different by the update)

I really do want to finish this game! I have all the endings planned out. It’s just been a bumpy road on my end. But ever since January, I’ve been working on it every week. I can’t wait to show you all what’s next! It’s hard to keep some of these details secret >_<“

I’ve also been working on some new projects. So I hope you can look forward to those too! There will be plenty of horror and romance. I’ll probably submit one to the Monstrous Desires Jam happening this fall :)

But chapter two is my big focus! I will make another announcement here a couple weeks before it goes live.

I want to thank you all for your amazing patience and outstanding kindness. I’m still amazed at how many people enjoy my game! I’m still learning so much, but you all keep me motivated ^^

Thanks once again! If you ever have any questions or want more updates, join the official IMI server. It’s the best way to get in contact with me, and I share progress much more frequently there. Also, my username is squidcolas on most platforms!
