Hello everyone! Thank you very much for all the support! I guess this game has been in development for 3/4 years now… It was a long journey, but there is still a long way to go before the game is complete, I would like to say a few words before the game is released between November 27th and 30th.

The version that will be released is an early access version, it has 2 routes and some bad endings, Hoshiko’s main route was completely removed from the game (Will be back in version 2.0), so it is not available. The dialogs will be modified and improved in version 2.0, I feel that the routes are a bit forced, or some dialogs feel weird, or even the scenes are too short. I won’t deny these problems and the decay of the game, but understand that I tried to make an early access version as solid as I could with the few resources I have at my disposal.

Currently, it is very complicated and very difficult for me to get the assets for the game, as some of you may know I am from Argentina. In my country is going through a huge economic crisis, although it is not very noticeable there is a lack of employment, and it is very difficult to get money. On the other hand, most of the assets I buy or pay using the dollar, and here the currency has a 75% tax, which makes it difficult to pay the assets without losing a lot of money. I bought some funds with the little money I had saving in PayPal, however, there are not many… So I tried to make this early access version “playable”, making 2 alternative routes that have nothing to do with the final game. There is still a long way to go, and I hope you continue to support the project!

I have many ideas for the game as well as several designs in mind, today I started to change and write new dialogs for version 2.0. Something to comment about this version is that I will try to highlight more the introverted side of the main character, and I will adjust the personalities of each character. Actually, I already have an idea about Chizuru’s personality, and that can be seen in the path of the early access version… I want her to be “rebel”, but hide it under a silly attitude.

On the other hand, the tone of the dialogues will also change a little. I hope you don’t notice the change too much, regarding the other changes that were made in the game. I recommend you to watch the channel #roses-of-love-devlog in my discord server, there I was documenting all the changes I made in the game.

Here are some questions and answers that you may be interested in…

Why early access?

The reason for releasing the game in early access is that I don’t want to keep my audience waiting any longer. I thought it’s best to release a small version of the game and hear what they have to say about the game. While it is not the full game, any ideas will be well received, please don’t be too harsh with your criticisms, it is a premature game but with an interesting story behind it.

Approximately how long is this game going to be in early access?

I estimate 1 year or 2 years, depending on how much it would cost me to finish version 2.0. But I estimate that I will have more or less half of the game sometime next year.

How different will the full version be from the early access version?

It will change a lot in the aesthetics of the game, for example the interface. This interface that the game currently has is not to my liking, and it doesn’t look professional. So I decided that I will hire someone to design the new interface, of course… when I get enough money for this.

I also want to include original music, BG, CG, Sprites and voice to the game, I’ve been checking prices and well… some assets are expensive… But I hope that the profits from the early access version will cover most of the expenses.

On the other hand, I’m considering moving the project to another engine, but I’ll see and decide when the time is right.

What is the current status of the early access version?

An early version of the game, with 2 routes.

Will the price of the game be different during and after early access?

Yes, the current price of the game is 3.90 dollars. However, the final version of the game will cost about the same as other visual novels on the market (15 USD).

Also, if you have any questions about the game do not hesitate to ask, I will answer everything I can!
