Hello! Since it's not as clear in the demo description, I'd like to tell you all in more certain terms how I plan to release the rest of the game! There's also the question I overlooked about whether the full game will be paid. This is my first game, and though the backgrounds for the game have cost me significantly, I don't want that to justify a big price tag, especially since this is a queer story. Not making it paid also helps with imposter syndrome :)

Update 1:

The first half of Summer 1. This will be the next update, and will conclude the common route. It will bring the common route to around 22k words. In the story from that point onward, you're given the choice to pursue one of three routes (unless you *spoiler* which would disable his route).

Update 2:

Likely Dain's route in its entirety. I'm almost finished with the first pass of his script. Each romantic route will come up to around 30k words, and he's almost there.  This will take a long time to implement, and so I've decided to cut up each route into two parts. This would, of course, be the first half.

Update 3:

The second half of Dain's route.

Update 4:

Same thing, except it's Alhan's route, whom you at this point in the demo haven't even met before! And you won't for some time. He's the most mysterious love interest. Alhan's script is actually already done, but since the demo focuses a lot on Dain (and Lyka to a lesser degree), I didn't think it'd be handy to release the one character you know the least about first.

Update 5:

The second half of Alhan's route.

Update 6:

Lyka's route part 1! I'm struggling the hardest with his at the moment, mainly because his route brings with an entirely new environment and cast.

Update 7:

The second half of Lyka's route.

And, well, aside from bug fixes, adding side character sprites and potential UI overhauls... this is kind of it! I hope this gave some clarity.
Thank you again so much for checking out my game, it really means a lot to me<3
