Preview for May (Patreon)

The images

While this scene isn't coming next month, as I'll explain below I wanted to at least show you something visual, (without spoiling too much) so I'm featuring the character Charaya. She's a minor character that has already shown up in the recent scene in which Emi and Nobuko go to the bunny club (she's the waitress).

She was designed with a plan to use her a little more, so she has this extra outfit and a design that I think is pretty interesting. What do you think?

I'll probably also get some voice acting for her when I get the chance. Speaking of which...

Next month's release

It's been a long time since I commissioned more voice acting, basically because I've been very busy and haven't got around to it for a while. It was something I could set aside for a while and that's blown out to a looong stretch.

Anyway, this month I decided that the best thing to do would be to just work on a bunch of voice scripts and reach out to the voice actors to get them recorded. This has been a lot of work, and while this kind of work does tend to also include additional writing and even some image design, it doesn't tend to result in the completion of new scenes ready to go in the release.

I'm expecting, therefore, that the next release will probably only include some new voice lines for a bunch of different existing scenes. I can't even be sure what scenes yet, as I don't have all the voice lines back yet. I do have a Mika recording available so I'll be able to add a bunch of Mika lines, and I'm guessing I'll probably get some Emi lines in time but I can't be sure about that. Maybe Rin and/or Shizu as well, but we'll have to wait and see.

I then have to edit them and add them to the game, so it's a lot of work and I think that's all I'll be able to add this month. I don't think this is a huge problem, as in recent months even in spite of my holiday and my repeated plans to do a smaller release, I actually haven't. All the recent releases have contained fairly substantial new interactive scenes.

Also, I think the voice acting is a big value-add, and I hope you agree. Either way, let me know what you think in the comments below so I know if I'm on the right track or not!
