Closed beta test (of sorts) started!

This weekend, the first "demo" of the game has been completed! 🎉🎉

It has been passed to the "closed beta testers"... which are just my weeb friends 😅

Demo?! Why? Wasn't the game supposed to be free?

The demo includes roughly 40-50% of the whole story.
Having a demo before the final thing allows me to get feedback on all non-story related elements of the visual novel, like GUI, controls, general bugs, and so on, and steer the development in the right direction. 🚢

And yes, the final product will be completely free on release! The demo is just a way to ensure quality control, similar to "early access" on other platforms 😊

Which Platforms?

I built a Windows and an Android version with RenPy, and both seem to work. 💻📱
I also plan to release a Mac version, since I have a Macbook, but I'm afraid there won't be an iPhone version, since I don't have an Apple developer account and also there's no way an 18+ nukige would be allowed on the App Store 😅

Open beta?!

The demo still lacks few things that I would be comfortable with releasing it to the public, like a 18+ warning screen, properly formatted credits, and so on, but...
Once the "closed beta" is finished, I am thinking of actually making the revised version of the demo public, so stay tuned! ✨✨
