addedPlans for SeptemberBecause one person is handling both programming and script work, it’s difficult to develop new features during months focused on script writing. Our goal for September is to 100% complete Chapter 3’s scripts and art resources , after which we will gradually move on to feature updates.

We know many of you have been waiting, so here’s our development update for this month.

As we mentioned in our previous devlog, we had planned additional features such as controller support. Unfortunately, we couldn’t proceed with those this month since our top priority is completing Chapter 3’s script. We sincerely apologize to those who were waiting for feature updates.

Because one person is handling both programming and script work, it’s difficult to develop new features during months focused on script writing. Our goal for September is to 100% complete Chapter 3’s scripts and art resources, after which we will gradually move on to feature updates.

Thanks to your encouragement, we’ve been able to continue development steadily. We truly appreciate your patience and warm support.

We’ll see you again in the next devlog. Until then, please take care and have a wonderful time!
