All the overgrown pictures here are drawn over, the first is something I took myself and the other 2 are from google

It’s a mix. Some are from online, some are photos I took irl, since I live in the area this VN is set in. Snow is so rare here that I had to take pictures from online, so pretty much every snow background is from Google sadly.

I work very slowly, but I’m still working on the next update. Just trying to find a good spot to stop writing and start polishing everything.

Glad you’re enjoying it!

I am planning on adding more sounds, it’s probably some spots I missed.

So far, all the choices are just game overs; I may work on actual branching paths at some point, but for now I’m working on one main story.

My last character got one of the worst deaths possible I think 😭

Stepped on a landmine, broke 3 bones, sent flying into a flooded life pod that he couldn’t climb out of because of the broken bones, perpetually passing out from the pain before immediately waking up drowning, he was stuck like this for at least a few days, maybe a week before finally dying of sepsis

Thanks! Pretty much all of the photos I use in my VN are at the very least in the same region it’s supposed to be, if not the same town/county. Living in the area it’s set in makes it a lot easier to do that lol

Yeah, the sprite issue is most likely from the simulated lighting thing I’m trying to add in. Whenever I put dissolve it does that sometimes, gonna try and fix it next update.

Thanks! If you don’t mind, can you tell me a couple of the bugs you experienced?

Yep, problem solved!

might be a bug from me trying to post an update, just a sec lol

Forgot to leave my comment here when I read this.

Really enjoying this so far! It’s cool to see another post apocalyptic vn, especially a zombie one. Good luck with development, I know how rough it can be lol

Is there a bug? I may have left some errors behind, I’ll look at the code for a bit

I decided to try changing the color to cream, how’s it look?

would it be okay for me to slightly edit this? I was gonna add a little grass to some of the UI to make it look overgrown.

Thanks! I thought the zombies weren’t playing enough of a role, so for build 5 I decided to add a few more scenes involving them lol

a test build for it is out! https://project-kyarn.itch.io/kyarn-test-builds

probably not that much longer, i’ll have to polish it some but most of the writing is done!

what’s wrong?

just finished act 2. Damn, well done!

as a VN dev myself, I definitely understand why it’s taking so long. It took me a year to update my own VN one time, mainly because stuff kept bogging me down, but also because there was so much to do.

Wow… That was good.

It was kinda a joke since I have 3 updates labeled “tiny update.”

Build 4 is shorter than the others, but it didn’t take a year lol

Thanks!

so far, it's really good! Excited for the update tomorrow!

and for some reason Nev's other emotions weren't included despite me selecting them in the post, but I also finished his angry and scared sprites.

Forgot to add this in, I made a new John sprite too. Every sprite currently in the game is being redrawn, which is a huge reason as to why build 3 is taking so long.

so far, I've started rewriting:

The intro scene

A fight scene

The campfire scene

And changing a few other things

How do I remove text history? My VN has multiple perspectives, so it wouldn't really make sense for them to have the same text history as each other.
