The Official Twitter is now https://twitter.com/gameb1nary If you haven't checked out our youtube, twitter, and discord. I strongly recommend you check them out and give them a follow, sub. It really helps bolster morale as we move forward. So I figured a video format would save me some typing. So here you go! VA is past the first clean and polish and will be completely mastered by Demo release. We are waiting on the two Main Character VA to finish the final Section. As you can see, backgrounds got more polish and will probably be further refined when we start working on UI. [previewyoutube=a91XAtYGOIk;full][/previewyoutube] Yes Szycrotic is in the demo. Maybe not THIS outfit! XD This outfit is going to be in the Twitch and Hentai Routes for Asterella Star, hence the censor tape. [previewyoutube=4xBR5kSQrNI;full][/previewyoutube] As you can see from the top videos. We have started refining and testing the live 2D models IN GAME. Lots still to refine, as we change a few expressions and animations to better suit the narrative and the direction we want to take. All the black silhouettes will have custom animations. The ones you see in the videos are simply placeholders for the real ones. These will be for the generic NPC's that will be scattered throughout the world and story. The scale is pretty big. To save budget, we are forced to do that. Which brings us to the next piece. Surprise Cameos! Now this is new! It was something we wanted to do but didn't want things to clash while in game. However, I think as a community game, we can afford to add some cool extra Vtubers into the mix. Most of them will be using their own models, and will voice, and interact directly with the development team to lock down their little cameos. Using their own models allows us budget space to be able to populate the story with more focused NPC's, and bring a bit more fun to it! So Far here is the list: Papi https://twitter.com/PapiTheLichKing Amayaa https://twitter.com/AmayaBlankVT Savory Chicken Nugget https://twitter.com/SavoryNugget Sal Kang https://twitter.com/SalubriousKang Strawtorri https://twitter.com/Strawtorii Commydost https://twitter.com/comdost_art VirtuallyLewd https://twitter.com/virtuallylewd Hiiragi Yuu https://twitter.com/HiiragiYuu_Vt So far these are the ones that have agreed to be in it and voice. We have a few more I am looking into, which I will announce at a later time. Ironmouse https://twitter.com/ironmouse Casual clothes promotion Art!

Progress Game Wise? Unity: Save States is almost complete. UI is after. I already have been working on some ideas. We want everything from UI to Characters, to background to be 60fps and above to be a smooth and enjoyable experience. After UI is figured out, implementing the H Scene around that should be easy. Only thing I see being tricky is setting up the interaction touch zones and locking down the final system for that. VA: Still a few lines to get done at the very end of the demo. First real polish pass has started on balancing and mastering. It will continue to be polished as we move towards the demo release. Translations: Coming along great! They are moving faster than I expected tbh. There is still work integrating the translations into the game, but that is at the end of the demo development process. We are building with it in mind. Live 2D: Owlidy, https://twitter.com/Owlidy , Our Rigger, has been hard at work. Asterella Star is final. And Szy is almost done. Rigging on the custom npcs plus the H Scene are continuing. Character Art: Male MC https://twitter.com/ShinNagawa, and Natsumi Moe https://twitter.com/Vtuber_Moe is currently being worked on. When they are more complete, I will add it to probably next months progress report. Next in Line is Projekt Melody https://twitter.com/ProjektMelody with Alfy https://twitter.com/Alfyria doing the model! While she is working on that, we will probably be working on Ai Candii https://twitter.com/aicandii, and Comrade Del https://twitter.com/Comrade_Del during the same time, if funds permit. This all is work past the demo. The key to remember is the Unity work will be about 95 percent complete when the demo is released. So, with that in mind, I would really appreciate your patience as we refine and nail down the backbone of this game. To be serious here, it greatly helps my writing process when the main tool is done. XD So please let me have this. I am the writer, after all. Live Wallpaper Updates!
