Public Release 0.1544.2 - Hiroko "Trickster" Update & 7 CGs


Hi, everyone!

This month saw my writing struggles continue as I tried to progress the new Trickster storyline some more. I never really got going, but a few new scenes have been written along with a little reworking of the previous month's scenes. It seems a good place to leave it for now while I find other things to work on because gosh, there's no shortage of stuff to do on this thing!

That means this month's new content leans heavily on its art updates once again ^^; With seven new CGs included here it's the biggest art dump yet! Why yes, this is getting to be rather heavily illustrated for a free visual novel. No, I do not intend to stop anytime soon...

So yes, next month I'm taking a break from Trickster to finish some other writing tasks (probably not Reversal, sorry T_T) and see how things are after that. Enjoy the update and I'll see you then!

D: Boo! Hiss! /s
JK, it's a fair edit to make.

If you're struggling to write, please don't burn yourself out! It's good to hear you're transitioning to something else that needs doing instead of repeatedly banging your head against the spot that's giving you trouble, but if you need to take a break to let your brain recharge, then don't hesitate to take it!

Ah, I wonder if something's stopping the game from running. You may want to try whitelisting the .exe on your antivirus software, or disabling it temporarily and see if that lets you run it?
