## Updates

* **1/15/2024** - Happy new year! I'm programming up the endings for Kichiro's route. I expect to finish the route by the end of the month. It's still using lots of stand-in art. But it's a functioning chapter!
* **12/6/2023** - You'd think I'd get more done but this is how long it took to get through Chapter 4 and starting chapter 5 for Kichiro. Downloaded some music to use!
* **7/18/2023** - Got through Kichiro's chapter 3. Onto 4 and maybe starting another route chapter. Although focus is best.
* **7/7/2023** - Finally updated Rose's sprite so all the planned outfits are available. Finished Chapter 2 for Kichiro and working through Chapter 3. Also been randomly worked on other chapters like Yuuto's. I think I've also finished a bunch of guest sprites and background characters.
* **5/6/2023** - Almost done with chapter 2 for Kichiro, made some new sprites for a guest sprite.
* **9/16/2022** - Making process with Kichiro's route, updated some sprites, and worked on making the menus. GUI design is not my forte but we got something that works for now.
* **8/31/2022** - Finished scripting Kichiro's first chapter, made a few object images. I also finished one of the illustration projects I was working on. I still have another one though. I learned a lot about VN maker GUI creation so I'm feeling more confident about creating menus.
* **6/12/2022** - Cleaning up some of my early coding and I've started another route. I was going to start with Yuuto's route but then realized, I hadn't made all the sprites for that one. I had made them for Kichiro's route so I'm starting with that one! I've started yet another VN project at the same time. I have a problem. I start but never finish. LOL. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to completing another route and will be making new sprites soon.
* **4/15/2022** - Finished a big project. I'm fiddling with background techniques. I drew ONE so far. Yay. Still working on QA and learned some neat things I could do to speed up writing process with VN Maker. Still working on another illustration projects so things are slow.
* **3/5/2022** - Clean up and QA is still happening before I start a new track. Slight hiatus for a few other projects that cropped up.
* **1/16/2022** - Going through and cleaning up some of my earlier scripting in VN Maker and added expressions for a bunch of minor characters. Created new outfits for a couple characters. I'm getting ready to start another track, looks like Kichiro will be first at the moment. But still want to do some QA and clean up of earlier chapters.
* **1/5/2022** - Finished the first draft scripting for Osamu's Route! Which means now I go in for rigorous testing and finally making some backgrounds. (I keep putting it off.) There are a few sprites that need edits and CGI that need planning, but it is an accomplishment! I think if I can get some backgrounds finished and put in I can release a demo.
* **12/15/2021** - Finally finished Christmas gifts, traveling, and winding down my sims modding. Very distracted by a 3D printing project but coming back to this now. Got to make some progress with scripting and at least finish a chapter before the end of the year.
* **11/13/2021** - My goodness where does the time go? Well, progress by inches with scripting, more scripting, and getting distracted by a game jam...which got cancelled. Currently my distraction is crocheting gifts for my nephews and making a cosplay for Goro. I've been tweaking sprites, sketching new ones and testing some scripting. Finally figured out how to get an animated sprite to play. Oh and it was my birthday on the 11th. Yay.
* **8/6/2021** - The scripting is coming along nicely as well as creating costume changes for several characters. (Why did I scope so big!?) I'm going to start seeking out a background artist to help with things. Scanned in sketches for a few more minor characters and created sprites for some of the guests! I'm half-way through Osamu's route which I think I'm going to make the "demo" of this game for QA.
* **7/4/2021** - Happy 4th! Just finished up the first script pass of chapter 3 which means I can start scripting the individual princes routes. WOO! I still need to make some backgrounds and update the art of sprites and do some thumbnails for the CGI. But good progress! I hope in the next month or two to have a demo. Also, Happy Birthday to Goro!
* **6/3/2021** - Man, Chapter 2 is longer than I remember. Nearly done with Chapter two scripting. Making some updates to sprites. Making good progress though. Scanned in sketches for a few more minor characters.
* **5/5/2021** - Scripted the Prologue, Chapter 1 and started in on Chapter 2. Continuing to make edits to the expressions and building up the sprites. One of these days I'll do the shading. -\_\_- I've been using stand-in backgrounds for now but boy...it's about that time. Time to do the thing with making the backgrounds. But don't wanna.
* **3/29/2021** - Started scripting chapter one. Making progress on building the sprites for VN Maker. Doing my best on the fly to figure out how to make things graphically light and functional. Also sketched out and scanned in a few more guests.
* **3/16/2021** - Started programming this past week! I've scripted in the prologue. I need to update the sprite emotes and clothe changes. But the bones are there. Slowly learning the VN Maker. I switch between updating sprites and programming. But...IT'S HAPPENING!
* **3/5/2021** - More sprite updates! Updated Osamu, Rose (again), Phil, Kimiko, and some minor characters not yet featured on the wiki. Created one new character sprite for a major guest character and sketched out a second. Creating the new characters is quite fun.
* **2/4/2021** - I've been updating sprites mostly adding feet! Updated all the main characters base sprites, all the moms, and Lucky has a new outfit.
* **1/30/21** - Created new base sprites for Rose, Miki and Goro. Updated Kichiro's default costume and fixed his sprite to include feet. Next to update will be Yuuto's sprite, then Jiro. Then I'm going to start working on side characters. The Goal right now is to get new default sprites done for all characters. Then start on expressions then new costumes.
* **12/27/20** - been doing small things here and there. Redesigned Goro AGAIN. And sketched new sprites for Rose, Miki, Kichiro and Yuuto.
* **8/30/20** - So, I've been editing what I wrote quite a bit. Got my tablet so I'm planning on re-doing the sprites. I intend get started next month. I'm brushing up and getting inspired.
* **7/30/20** - **HUGE NEWS!** Finished drafting chapter 10 for Goro's route. This means...ALL ROUTES ARE WRITTEN!!! \*party\* I'm still going through to edit the dickens out of everything and I need to make accounts for planned CG images, Backgrounds, Icons and other graphics. It's so weird to be finished.
* **7/22/20** - Half-way through writing Chapter 10 for Goro's route.
* **7/10/20** - Finished Chapter 9 for Goro's Route. One more left! Did some doodles to redesign Goro's outfit...AGAIN. Saving up for a tablet to draw on my laptop with.
* **6/15/20** - Finished Chapter 8 on Goro's Route. Only two more chapters to go!
* **6/11/20** - Finished Chapter 7 out of 10 for Goro. (So close!)
* **6/1/20** - Finished Goro's side chapter
* **5/25/20** - Finished Goro's Chapter 6.
* **5/17/20** - Fleshing out some story notes, made some edits to Goro's route and some progress on chapter 6.
* **5/2/20** - Finished writing Katsuro's route!!! Also made some major changes to the first chapter so it's more interactive. Some touch ups to the prologue. Planning out some of the extras.
* **4/15/20** -Finished chapter 9 for Katsuro. One more chapter and his route will be done. Only Goro left! Did some touch ups to Jiro's route too.
* **4/11/20** - Finished chapter 8 for Katsuro. Still testing out the new laptop. But I have been distracted by 3D printing.
* **3/12/20** - Finished chapter 7 for Katsuro. Got a new touch screen computer to hopefully make some updated sprites. We'll see how it goes.
* **2/18/20** - Finished Chapter 6 and the side chapter for Katsuro. Updated the Sprite for Rose. Making plans to update all current sprites. I need to make them actually head to toe instead of cut off at the knees. :P (That's just my lazy butt.)
* **1/29/20** - Oops...forgot to update. Finished Chapter 5 for Katsuro and Goro's route. Did some major proofing on Osamu and Yuuto's routes.
