So, it's finally time, huh? After six years of 'Sounds of Her Love', an epilogue, a prequel and a cameo, we have decided it's time to continue Ceri's story... again. We're happy to announce 'Sounds of Her Love 2' is now in development. Following-up on our short and sweet visual novel, Sounds of Her Love 2 continues the serenading of Ceri with a narrative focused on your newly orchestrated relationship. As spring comes to an end, and with graduation on the horizon, this love-filled story continues to bloom, compounded by new faces, new challenges and new feelings.
For Sounds of Her Love 2, we've enlisted the help of Kimiyoto (Sprites/CGs) and Kjkjmulo (BGs) to design the artwork from the ground up. New original assets will add a level of consistency to Sounds of Her Love 2's art whilst still remaining faithful to the original game. This will be supported by a fully original soundtrack and full voice acting, similar to our previous VN 'Chemically Bonded'. The best part? Sounds of Her Love 2 will release for free next year. Given the overwhelming support given to the original and the number of requests we have received to make a sequel, it is only natural for us to want to make it available to all who enjoyed the previous story and the cute glasses-wearing girl it focuses on. We will not be crowd-funding nor developing the game with any money that hasn't come from our own pockets, and whilst forgoing the ability to recoup costs, Sounds of Her Love 2 is being developed as a passion-project first and foremost. We hope to be able to deliver something on par with or exceeding the original for old and new fans to enjoy.
We're also pleased to announce that Sounds of Her Love 2 is being developed in collaboration with fellow visual novel developer ebi-hime! ebi-hime has worked closely with us, helping to conceive and write around half of Sounds of Her Love 2's narrative. This includes a new cast of supporting characters and heartfelt scenes fitting for this touching love story: "A sequel to Sounds of Her Love, a sweet romance story between two students set in an international school in Tokyo. One year has passed since the events of Sounds of Her Love, and your relationship with Ceri has deepened. You have now become a couple and, with your encouragement, Ceri has begun to emerge from her shell. Leopards don't change their spots that easily, however, and though Ceri has been attempting to overcome her innate shyness, she still has a tendency to doubt herself. Wanting to boost Ceri's confidence, you encourage her to perform in the school's graduation ceremony with the members of the music club. This will be one of the greatest challenges the timid Ceri has had to face, but you are sure that she will be able to overcome it. You will be there with her, after all, to reassure her... and you want everybody to know just how far Ceri has come."
We look forward to sharing more about Sounds of Her Love 2, including on our social media pages, over the coming months as it continues to develop - so be sure to follow us for more announcements! We are also continuing working on our other visual novel projects: 'Thawing Feelings' and 'Syntactic Sugar'. Thank you all for the support and we look forward to sharing more with you soon.
