I also just finished 0.7 and I already cannot wait for the next part, but in the meantime, are there any VNs that you took inspiration from? Especially character design bc their designs are my favorite part of this game. Thank you for making such an amazing game!
Only visual novels I took inspiration from were 2d, and it was more of a vibe or general idea kind of inspiration, not character designs. So I can't really recommend anything according to that.
also how many chapters are you going to have? I understand that this is a lengthy process but how long do you think it'll be before you story is completely finished? Just out of curiosity, not trying to rush you or anything.
