Hi everyone!
More progress on Saint Ceri this month: I wrote 12k new words, making the current wordcount 50k words! I'm currently writing the final route choices, where you can confirm your romance or choose between different love interests if needed. There are so many different break up variants :') I'm enjoying writing them though, I feel like the friendship between the characters shines more when it's tested by heartbreak! I didn't expect to enjoy writing the platonic interactions this much (but it does make sense; I really enjoyed writing friendship in THJ as well), and I decided to add a CG for the fully platonic ending! I wasn't originally planning on it since the NSFW CGs will take so much time, but I want the platonic ending to feel like a good ending, too, and a CG will help with that.
Next month I'll finish this CG and continue writing!
I feel like writing is going faster now; everything has already been set in motion, so it's easy and fun to write the final choices and romance scenes of the common route. As I've said before I'll take a break from writing and start scripting everything in once all the pre-ending content is finished; it'll be hard to script all this content and test all the many variants, but it'll make writing the endings even more fun, since things will be shaping up! I'll also start editing a trailer in the upcoming months, once more scripting is done so I have more footage to show. I've never done anything like that before, but I look forward to learning something new!
That's it for this devlog! Thanks as always for reading <3
