Demo v5 Release

Flowering Nightshade
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Demo v5 sees another big change to the GUI and visual presentation of the game, as noted in the previous devlog. Hopefully this change will make the game look and play a lot better, especially on Android phones.

Aside from that, this demo finally sees a full route for Kiyomi! I feel like this version of her story works a lot better than the scrapped storyline from v1, so I hope it was worth the wait. This build also includes the ending of Orino's route, so it's a great time to play her storyline if you've been putting it off.

The full details for the new demo:

Changes/Additions for Demo v5:

  • Further UI updates and base resolution increase (see previous devlog for details)
  • Full routes for Orino and Kiyomi
  • BGM temporarily removed from most scenes to prepare for upcoming changes to BGM files
  • A number of small fixes

Planned Upcoming Features (Demo v6 onward):

  • BGM placement, using new tracks and returning tracks from Eldritch University
  • Full routes for all seven love interests (Remaining stories: Atsuko and Shiori)
  • Bonus routes that focus on couples not involving Himeka (subject to change)

I hope people enjoy the update!

(No bonus section on behind-the-scenes stuff this time. I'm planning on posting something like that sometime soon, but separately.)
