Whee, first draft is done! =>

The game contains 573 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 7,996 words,
for an average of 14.0 words per screen.
The game contains 7 menus.

I wrote all of that in four days…gaah, exhausting, but at least it’s done Dx as a comparison, this is the Lint of the old version:

The game contains 282 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 1,504 words,
for an average of 5.3 words per screen.
The game contains 6 menus.

I didn’t even edit the old script after it was done. What was I thinking?

What it says in the title. (Screenshot from the old version)

Maybe some people will remember Midnight Noize, my very first publicly released Ren’Py-VN. It had a German and an English version…the German one is the one you see above. Why did I decide to remake it? Well, I’m glad you asked!

• Testing stuff: I want to play around with a few new Ren’Py functions, in real-world examples
• The art and writing are embarrassingly bad. I feel guilty for having this float over me like a sword of Damocles x,D
• I want to practice. I’ve been writing quite a lot lately, but regular novel/short story format is a bit different. Plus, I can’t afford to mess around too much with the sprites in PH =<
• Screw this list, redoing crap is just fun.

The story is easily five times as long now, which actually justifies that single event CG I had in the old version x,D There will be only four endings instead of seven, two of them are written and I’m roughly 4k words into the story…trying to keep it under 10k. I don’t want to go overboard >=< Oh, and before I forget…you can check out WIPs of Mayura’s new sprite on the art blog.

The game contains 131 screens of dialogue.

As you can see, it’s already twice as much as last time! >=>

Redesigning a side character.

At this point in time, I don’t touch any of the main character designs anymore xD But my side charas are subject to change. Shoujo X (whose name is not really secret, but I like the air of mystery) is one of those. I’m still not satisfied with this. Hmm.
