We’re getting closer and closer to completing the second episode! Here are the latest updates. 🛠

🎨 Architecture and Design Bureau • Backgrounds — 100% ✅ • CG artwork — 100% ✅ • Sprites — 70%

We’ve updated the sprites for all the female characters. Our paid subscribers also voted on whether the male character sprites should be updated, and the majority supported the idea. So they’ll be getting an update too!

💻 Technical Department • Code — 70%

Work here is progressing at breakneck speed! Kawaii Ishaq has joined the project and is working diligently on the technical side, improving the gameplay and helping accelerate development.

We’re currently testing half of the episode and fixing the bugs we find. 🐛🔧

We’ve also added a small interactive segment and a resistor mini-game for the internship with Nastya, laying the groundwork for a beta test with our paid supporters.

• Direction — 0%

We’ll begin directing the episode once all the sprites are fully completed.

🎵 “Bright Sunshine” Music Club • Music — 100% ✅ • Sound effects — 100% ✅ • Voice acting — 90%

Due to personal circumstances, Karelia’s voice actress was unable to complete the remaining work. We therefore made the difficult decision to completely replace the character’s voice.

This means that Karelia’s lines from the first episode will also be re-recorded by a new voice actor.

📝 Archive No. 9 • Script and editing — 100% ✅ • English translation — 70%
