September | Another Step Closer To Act 2's Release!

The Retrospection Of Tomorrow (ACT 1 out now!!!)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

September Progress:

  • Finished all new BG art
  • All new NPC sprites DONE
  • Act 2 script import and plot adjustment
  • Hendrix, Edmund, Leon, Noah and all other NPC's expressions imported

Plans for October:

  • Test Act 1 and Act 2, refine the code
  • Complete testing for Act2, send for proofreading
  • Complete all small CGs
  • Start working on the main CGs
  • Prepare for the Steam Page

Yes, I’m about to run the game for real! (For the first time this year, wow). 

Seriously, I’m speechless right now—after 7 months of hard work, Act 2 has finally reached this point! This year has felt so long... and Act 2 is also so long. Super long (just pasting expressions took me 4 full-days, what the hell). So many plots and tears. I can’t wait for everybody to play it.

Even though there’s still a lot of work to do, I’m confident about what’s ahead! Programming isn’t too difficult for me, but it’s still a lot of repetitive and labor-intensive work. The same goes for drawing CGs, but these are tasks that have to be done. (at least it's much more fun than pasting expressions...)

This month, I spent 2 weeks traveling and was also quite sick for a week, so I’m pretty happy with the progress. I’m still aiming for Act 2’s release this year, but if not, it will be released in January. (I hope at least the Chinese version can be released by the end of this year).

Ok, another hard-working month is ahead of me... I hope I have much more to share in the next update!

Let's end this dev log with some quick sneak peak for TROT's current progress~
