I know there was an update earlier today, but this one is the official progress post. This one is about the current state of Chapter 1, and how it compares so far to the preview release you've enjoyed thus far.

First, we have the new lines of dialog. In the launch version, 0.01, there are 4,248 words. As of right now, the unreleased portion of Chapter 1 adds 5165 new words, and there is still more of the Chapter 1 script that needs to be plugged into Ren'py. This brings the total word count, as of right now, to 9413 total words. Not bad, I'd say.

Next, we have the number of new renders that you will be able to feast your eyes upon. Not including the what is planned for the rest of the Chapter, there are 30 new renders done, 55 if you also count revamps of the CGs and scenes that include Carmina. This brings the total number of images in the game to 181 at this time.  16 more are currently in queue waiting to be rendered out, and many more will follow.

I hope this update is encouraging for you, and I look forward to all of you enjoying the fruits of all my hard work.

 Remember: I'm doing this alone right now.

-Sincerely,

R.S. Cree
