Sounds of Her Love (tuxdb.com)

Oh, it looks like you startled her! (Yes, the opening animation is based on this scene.) Work has continued on Sounds of Her Love 2 - and so - as it has been a few months since our last devlog, we are here again with another round of updates and announcements to keep you all satiated until the game releases and you get to watch Ceri play the harp. Yes, she plays the harp! If it wasn't particularly obvious in the plot summary, cover image and opening animation, Ceri will be playing the harp in SOHL2. The above CG by Kimiyoto is already enough to captivate us, but we have more lovely things planned throughout the game as Ceri hones her skills for the graduation ceremony!
This also includes new backgrounds by Kjkjmulo, as shown here inside Ceri's house. It is a nice feeling to be able to re-build this world using original backgrounds, imagining the events from the previous game in this setting (i.e retconning the interior design of Ceri's house). [previewyoutube=3UNlkwY6Hxk;full][/previewyoutube] Further to the fantastic art updates are the efforts of our cast, as revealed in our last update, and our composer Red Robotix! It's been really fun having all four main VAs together in one scene, topped off by a unique theme for the music club! We're also still in the process of expanding the SOHL2 cast, our sights are now focused on casting the side characters and background voices for the game. This includes fan-favourites from the original SOHL (such as school buddies, MC and Ceri's family, etc). Watch this space as we will be making new announcements soon!
And finally, the part which has been intentionally left to the end of the post, it's more than likely that we are going to have to delay Sounds of Her Love 2 into next year. This probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who has been following our other/previous projects, but in order to add in all of the above, I feel that an extra couple of months development would benefit us. I say 'more than likely' as I have never been the type to commit to anything I'm not 100% sure on. Work on the project thus far has been self-funded and development time is coming at the expense of balancing other commitments, the worst thing that could happen would be to crunch to finish the game and release something that isn't up to the standards we set out at the beginning - so in that sense it is better to flag this now than to leave people disappointed. Ironically, Sounds of Her Love 2 may end up being an anniversary project after all (no guarantees). I hope you can all understand! Of course, the best place to stay up-to-date with development news and progress is over on our X/Twitter page. We've been sharing a lot of fun things besides SOHL2 updates, including guest art and progress on our other projects. It would be appreciated if you checked it out if you haven't already! Thank you all again.

Sounds of Her Love ~We'll always be together~

Story

In the midst of their hearts, something is blossoming between two students. Both of whom go about their daily lives at an international school in Tokyo.

Just what is flowering? Of course, it's love.

Starting your new life after transferring into an international school, you find yourself dismayed when it turns out to be the same as any other. Except for one thing... or person, rather. As your newly founded relationship increasingly tightens with the girl you just met, find out what there is to learn about each other as your lives intertwine with one another, discovering things about her stashed away behind a veil of timidity.

Characters

Ceridwen Erwood (CV: Amber Barile)
Ceri, a student of the Welsh International School of Japan (WISJ) is a warm-hearted girl, prone to being found immersed in the pages of a novel or the strings of a classical celtic harp. She has a desire to study literature, though she had been known to have had a large period of time away from school due to an illness. As stated by her.

Of Welsh origin herself, Ceri's a lot more readable than her language. Or so it might seem. Timid and docile on the outside, nobody can really tell what surprises she might have in store. As you get to know her however, the truth about her becomes much more clear to you. Learn about her past, be with her in the present, and join her in the future. That is, if she opens up to you. She's an extremely shy person, so getting her to open up isn't going to be easy.

Protagonist (Player Named)
You "play" as a half Japanese, half English transfer to the WISJ.

His second week at an international school has just started. Many students seem to be pompous in his eyes. It costs a lot of money to attend, after all. Within his first week, he has managed to make a grand total of zero friends. Socialising isn't easy, at least that's what he thinks.

Unlike his father, a well-regarded owner of a publishing company, he wastes his time daily doing nothing productive. Things change however, when he meets "someone" who piques his interest.
