Public Release 0.1513.1 - Nozomi Route Rewrite (Preview) (Patreon)

Hellooooo,

It's been five weeks since the last public release of Penlight, and the game's been in a bit of a transitionary period. My time's mostly been focused on rewriting Nozomi's main path, with the intention of increasing its length, working some more fun kinky scenes and generally fleshing out Nozomi's character some more. I'm hoping by the time I'm done, Nozomi's paths will hold up as well as her friend's, and provide a more satisfying journey into consensual kink than her original route offered.

Nozomi wasn't my sole focus, though. Sayori's Alter path from last month has had a second ending written for it which I'm sure is going to provoke some responses, and there's been a lot of minor tweaks and fixes throughout the game. Penlight's CG gallery is also growing nicely now, with a handful of new images this month.

So, I hope folks enjoy the new additions! Next month I hope to have made significant progress on Nozomi's rewrite and I'll see where to go from there~

What's New 

Begun re-writing Nozomi's route, allowing for a longer runtime. Fully written up to day 5, with very rough outlining and recycled script up to the epilogue (expect major changes for next time)

Written a second ending for Sayori's new Alter path, where Kyou sides with Sayori's alter personality  

New CG featuring Nozomi taking part in last year's culture fest stage show. It appears in the first scene of the game 

Added a new CG featuring Sayori with Kyou, during her newer Alter path 

Expanded Hiroko's and Nozomi's basic CG sets, allowing for a greater range of expression 

Most of Hiroko's penlight and couch scenes now use the new CG assets 

Added some more music to Penlight's soundtrack, which play during the newly-written parts of Nozomi's path 

Tweaked a line or two of dialogue in the earlier parts of Nozomi's route 

Lots of little tweaks to the dialogue during Hiroko's route and the start of the Villainous route 

Made some minor textual and visual tweaks to Nozomi's zombie path  

Fixed Kyou's sprite not appearing after he refuses to comply with Sayori's request, at the end of the original Alter path 

Fixed a text error on one line where Kyou called Sayori's alter "Megumi" regardless of the name Kyou actually gave her 

During some of the earlier-written parts of Sayori's route, Kyou's sprite wasn't showing any expression at all. That's now been corrected

Corrected a few instances where Kyou's sprite wasn't showing on some lines in Nozomi's route 

Fixed an oversight that had Hiroko's sprite show over her CG during the start of the Villainous Sleeper Agent path 

Word count is now over 170,000
