Hey everyone! I hope you guys have had an excellent start to your weekends :)I wanted to give you guys a proper update since I have set to give a proper 'progress report' on where we stand with v1.5.0 development! I also have a few goodies for you guys, so stick around ;)

This update is turning out to be VERY dialogue heavy, which means I've been doing a lot of writing... and re-writing... and even more writing. Seriously, the amount of dialogue I've been writing and editing is insane, but I am doing this with a goal in mind: to offer a closer connection to the characters in Oakridge.

I'm also using this update to set up small future events in updates. Nothing major, sticking with the 'slice of life' aspect, but you may hear MC learn about some future characters, village dynamics, and maybe even get in a new predicament of his own. Plus, I am having MC reconnect with characters we haven't seen in a while, so get ready to see a few familiar faces!

Since this is so writing-intensive, I've only finished about 40 CGs so far. I know that's fewer than recent updates, but I feel like this update is still going to be quite polished, interesting, and fun.

Also, currently there is no planned minigame for this update. I tried to make something work, but it felt 'forced' and didn't really fit the narrative. Hopefully you guys can still enjoy moments that come from character development and conversations rather than interactivity.

A release date will be announced soon as I continue to GRIND through this update!

However, as a little treat (and thank you) for your patience and support, here are some fun extra images of our Oakridge residents enjoying the end of summer in a new art style.

Enjoy! :)

I'm apologize for my ignorance... What does CG stand for and how are there 40 of them?

Hey! CG is just short for ‘Computer Graphics’, but it usually (for Visual Novels) just refers to images. So sprites, backgrounds, items, etc that are images would be a CG.

Tomoki

Sounds like it going great cant wait to see what you got for us

Ansem The Wise

So does that count for CG's that were already made? Like Backgrounds that are already made with character models also pre made?

Mike Simone

Hey, what makes your game so great is the character interaction. When I'm being the MC and talking to the other visitors, I feel actual happiness. So, please, by all means, take your time. I, for one, will take a long wait for more of equal quality and enjoyment to what you've already written over a rushed update that doesn't give that sense of fulfillment.

Invisible Cactus Games

Nope, strictly new. If we’re talking previously made, theres atleast almost 300+ unique ingame images and graphics

Forge

Glad to see you're going hard on the story for this one, and don't stress the minigame. The absence of one will make the next one more enjoyable. Also, thank you for the bonus art. I prefer the more realistic style of the CGs you make but these are pretty cute.

Hey cactus? I have to ask, do you want any help?
