Do you remember when Mannequin Academy used to get regular updates? We missed them so much, and we know you did too T.T
So...Mannequin Academy is no longer on hiatus! The reason we had to put the development of this project on hold was the tremendous scale of Mannequin. We did not have the money to continue making a game as large as this one so we shifted our focus to developing smaller games that allowed us to stay afloat.
As a result of this we have finished a +18 yaoi game called Diamond Mirage and we are now developing Glass Hearts - a psychological thriller yaoi visual novel. Thanks to these other projects we were able to make enough savings to resume working on Mannequin Academy, which would otherwise be impossible. Even though we do not commission any art or writing and do everything by ourselves, we still need to be able to put food on the table. As mundane as it sounds, it's just the sad truth :(
We are returning to a steady update schedule with this sizeable 4,000 word extension to Nor's route. The plan is to focus mainly on one or two routes instead of working on all of them concurrently. This helps us stay in the appropriate headspace and keeps the emotions and ideas fresh as these tend to be very different in each route.
In numbers:
- 4,000 words added to Nor's route
- 2 CG with variations
- 2 new music tracks
- 2 important choices
- 1 reworked CG with 5 variations
- 2 new backgrounds
- Mac os version now available
If you are interested in an equally ambitious boy's love story that we are currently developing, please consider supporting Glass Hearts on Kickstarter.
