Hello, welcome to my first progress devlog! I hope to post one every week to let you know exactly how much I've progressed with the game!
But first, I want to thank you all for 40+ downloads! I really didn't think I'd get that many, since this game's genres are so niche compared to things like otome or genderneutral dating sims. 

What I Worked on This Week:

1. I sketched and rendered Serena's sprite, as well as her expressions.
2. I sketched and rendered Liam's sprite, as well as his expressions.
3. I sketched and rendered Layla's sprite, as well as her expressions.
4. Rendered the first Dain route CG.
5. Added some new sound effects.
6. Added some new backgrounds.
7. Added all of Summer 1 Part 1 to the game.

What's Planned Next:

Well, great news... The Summer 1 Part 1 update will be released today (if all goes well)! This update will also add the sprites I finished mentioned above.
This will conclude the common route, and I finally get to fully focus on the first romantic route, Dain's!  (I say that, but there are already 20k+ words in his script.)

I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am. I've decided to post routes in two parts since 30k at once is just overwhelming, and it will be too demotivating to me without feedback. I've edited the Road Map devlog to reflect this definite change.
I've got another surprise to reveal; I intend to draw a CG for every season. This means every single romance route should end up with at least 6 CGs, not including variations.

Hopefully, this makes up for the game not looking the best, especially not with the UI. GUI design is something I don't like to work on nor am particularly good at, so while I hope to improve at it slowly, I'm not very interested in fancy textboxes and choice menus for now.

Praying Summer 1 Part 1 will excite you for the routes to come!
