[previewyoutube=mQ09Usm6Y3M;full][/previewyoutube] (Our Kickstarter trailer!)
Hello everyone, our Kickstarter is now up! There are artbooks, prints, ship keychains, and other rewards you can get. The game is discounted as well, so please consider supporting if possible! Here are some of the goals we're working toward:

• Funded: So we can continue making the game
• Voice acting: This was heavily requested, so we hope we can reach this stretch goal so the characters can be voiced!
• Animated scenes: For important moments, whether they're romantic or suspenseful. These will also be voiced
• An extra LI: :)
• Console port: We'd port the game over to the Switch

Hi everyone! August is (somehow) almost over, so we're back with another dev log. Not much to update unfortunately. You may have noticed the lack of updates on social media, and it's because we're stockpiling things to post around the Kickstarter. So you'll see a lot more of us end of September/all October/November. Thank you for your patience in the meantime! Unless anything else changes, we're planning to launch our Kickstarter on October 22! The extended demo will come out 1-2 weeks before that, and we'll also be participating in the October Steam Next Fest with it. Writing

• As mentioned last dev log, writing's been done but we spent this month polishing it. It's around 45K words now, and we've added a side story in as well

• Profiles menu that gets updated as MC's thoughts about them change over the story. You can get a glimpse of it here!
• Story mode! This is different from the "Right Choice Indicator". Story mode will mark the correct answer for deductions/logic stuff, while the right choice indicator will mark correct answers for affection point increase with the boys. We're doing it this way because we thought some people might want hints for the detective parts but not the romance parts, and vice versa. Both can be toggled on/off at any time

• Made progress on the sprites and CGs/mini CGs! We've been focusing on the sprites exclusive to the second demo (which is why they haven't been shown) but once we make it to the side characters in the mini demo we'll start showing them off

• Graphics are almost done
• We're finalizing the rewards, though we have been getting some asks for some detective-themed ones. We don't really have any ideas for that though (besides maybe a notebook, though that seems a bit expensive for probably not a lot of interest) so if you have anything you'd like to see, let us know!

Hi everyone, happy July! This month kind of flew by. Can't believe the mini demo's almost been out for an entire month now. Just wanted to start out and thank everyone who tried, reviewed, streamed, gave feedback for, etc. the demo! We didn't expect so many people to try it already and we got a lot of good feedback! As such, we actually went ahead and updated the demo a bit with a few more scenes/lines. We don't really expect people to play it again just for those so we wanted to detail the biggest ones here:

• There's an extra scene in the police station between the crime scene investigation and Yunie running straight into jail to hopefully smooth it out a bit
• Some extra lines in Alexei's first scene/the jail scene
• Some extra lines in the hideout

• The writing and programming are done! It's currently at 41k words total between the two demos
• Some minor progress on CGs/sprites but the artist was busy this month, will resume in August!
• Music and BGs are done!
• Opening theme song is done!
• GUI has been done for a while, but the graphic designer has been working on Kickstarter assets
• The Kickstarter will most likely be in October! It may seem like a long time away, but it'll give us time to make sure everything is set up and to market... and advertise...... and all that fun stuff......... (the second demo will be released a couple weeks before that, though)
