Hello hello everyone!
First of all thank you so much for all the support you've been giving this project! I was really nervous if it was going to be recieved well but I ended up kicking my feet in joy when I read your comments ┗( T﹏T )┛
I've pretty much finished the majority of Chapter 01 with only a few fine adjustments needed to be made to the music and flow! I attached some sneak peek images above (/▽＼) (not in any particular order)
I'm planning on releasing Chapter 01 and Chapter 02 together since I personally think they're better read back to back. Chapter 01 also kind of ends on a cliffhanger - and as a cliffhanger hater myself I do not want to torture you guys by having to wait another few months for the next release lol
Just so you know, I decided I'd try to tone it down a bit with the amount of artwork in the following chapters since 1) I will run into problems with the space my game will take up (itch has a limit of 1gb per game and I'm already at over 200mbs for just the prologue) and 2) drawing takes up most of the dev time and is sometimes very very tedious, esp. when I want to draw elaborate scenes with lots of camera shifts. I set myself a limit for 30-50 CGs per chapter (which is still a lot but manageable for me) for the future. I'm back at my internship too, my vacation is over sadly, and I'll go back to school this month as well so I unfortunately don't have an abundance of time at my disposal, but I'll still try my best to work on Hell Trap as often as I can!
I'll keep you guys up to date for the next release!
Bye bye!
