Dev Update #6: Twins!


Hey all, it's Paradise! Sorry for the lateness, I lose track of time when I'm on summer vacation (please help, it's not healthy). Anyway though, I'll most likely just be sticking to bi-weekly updates. That way I can draw one week or write the next. Just really depends how I feel and I'm not gonna push something if I don't like the output! Onto the update~

1) Rewards

There will be a statement in the next update if I have ordered the posters! Then I will make a second very small update to say when they are being shipped (if it's not included in the update after). Wallpapers will unfortunately be delayed for a little while longer since I do have to redesign them. Right now, I need to save up some money for a personal reason, so that takes priority for a little bit. I'll be inter-working the game with that though so bi-weekly updates will still be happening; please don't mention that this is a week late, a witch hit me with a laziness spell. (You can probably tell that I'm not good at keeping to a schedule so just keep a look out every/every other weekend.)

Let's get you guys involved though:

What do you think the main characters would cosplay as or wear for Halloween?

2) Plot

I'm about 1/3 of the way finished with the script before editing, so if I focus for about another month or two, it should be fully finished! I'd love to give a few previews here or there, but I'd like to do it in a comic type of format. Probably just sketches or chibis. If I don't have the time for that, then it'll just be straight script! I'm hoping either way it'll be entertaining. The previews won't be directly related to the plot; they'll most likely just be fun little sections that I enjoyed writing.

3) Twins Update!

I've kind of been toying with the idea of updating the twins' base sprites for awhile, and, well, I did it. They are a little more up to date with my current style, but hopefully you still think their sprites fit in with the rest! I don't think I'll be redesigning the rest of the characters at this point; the twins were an exception!

So one thing I faced with the twins is I didn't really like their poses too much nor their hair color. I thought the color was too bright and the poses a little bit stiff. I tried to make their updated sprites more mischievous and also a bit brooding; obviously still maintaining their university fashion. With their hair, I was stuck between three colors: darker blue, reddish brown, and violet. So since I'm terrible with making decisions, I left it up to our discord server. They voted...(drum roll please)...Violet! Twins are now poiple boys~~ (Yes, this update means their demo CG will be redone as well.) I didn't get the chance to work on their ears and tails, but maybe I'll post a little section with them in the next update with either Jun or Aiden's outfit addition.

And again, these are the BASE SPRITE changes, not an additional outfit update for the twins.

Anyway though, hope you like the Twins 2.0!

My friend posed an interesting question for them:

Does the carpet match the drapes? What do you think?
