I'm glad you think it looks interesting :3 I do have a pretty huge problem with this version though >.< I don't have any CGs for it. My friend created a whole bunch of CGs for the GxB version, but I don't want to take up any more of their time asking for art for this version when they have projects of their own to work on. I don't know if I can actually release this without CGs though :( Would anyone play a VN without CGs? I dunno, haha.

I do still have another few months worth of work to do on it myself like finishing replacing sprites, text, and new voice acting for fem Kuro, oh and testing too of course! It's just I'm stuck on the CG art front, haha. I have pretty much no money so I can't afford to hire an artist, which means this version of the game will probably end up on hold until I can figure something out >.<

Thanks for taking the time to comment + stay safe! :3

I mean, there are a lot of successful and great VNs that don't have any CGs whatsoever. The most famous examples would probably be Higurashi and Umineko, both of them got very famous and are highly praised even though they do not have a single CG (Sure, they have some in the later versions, but they were already famous by then). So yeah, as long as the writing is great, I don't think you have to worry about the lack of CGs too much. Maybe once this version goes around an artist might volunteer to finish the CGs?

Eitherway, good luck with the development of the game. I am sure you will be able to deliver something great. :)

Oh wow, I honestly had no idea that those titles didn't originally have CGs :o That's an eye opener! For some reason, I just presumed that it was pretty much a requirement >.< I guess because all the VNs I've read have had a CG gallery, haha. It's really great to know that it's not necessarily considered essential though :3 I was kinda worried that I would never be able to release the BxG version due to lacking CGs, but you've given me hope!

It sure would be awesome if it was well received enough that an artist wanted to volunteer to draw CGs sometime in the future :3 Though, as always, I have very little confidence in anything I do in life xD I'll just be happy if even one person gets some enjoyment from it anyway! I'm already overjoyed at the lovely comments about the GxB version.

With any luck, I'll manage to get this version released by Christmas! It's hard to make plans and set proper goals for progress at the moment with the pandemic going on >.< but I'll get there in the end anyhow. I was thinking I'd have to put the project on hold indefinitely, but you've helped me think differently, so thank you for that + the support :3

Well whether you find an artist for the CGs or not, I am definitely interested in playing this whenever it's finished, with or without CGs.
That's just my opinion though.

Thank you so much for the comment + interest/support :3 You guys have really opened my eyes. I can't believe I just assumed CGs were necessary >.< I should have made a poll or something I guess rather than just making assumptions, haha.

As I said in my above reply, I was thinking I may have to put this version of the project on hold indefinitely due to the lack of CGs, but you guys have shown me that I don't need to! I guess I'll just keep working on it and release it either way :3 It's a relief, cos I sure as hell didn't want the voice acting for female Kuro to go to waste since it's pretty awesome!
