is this still being worked on?

I guess it passes as a prologue but it just reads as heavily inspired by the Highschool DxD anime, Even has some of the major plot points from the first episode. With some things and the lead up to the main plot point changed as to not be exactly the same.
Though it doesn't really set anything up and with it being so short it doesn't give it a chance to show if it's worth supporting yet or not. The renders and models are above average but could be improved. Yeah it's written decently enough but with it being so short it doesn't show if that's just a short flash and the writing will fall off going forward or if the writing will be consistent over a longer period of time. It also doesn't show any SFW or NSFW animations at all so there is no telling if it will have quality animations or not.
Checking the links provided I can't find any activity more recent than 2-3 months ago which makes it feel like it's already been abandoned.
Sandbox would be better, though more to code IMO and is partly the reason I supported in the first place. As long as it's done right meaning not done like LiLs "sandbox" but more like HHGs sandbox and doesn't have stat grinds people shouldn't really complain about it, having repeatable scenes and other things to build up the story and characters could only help. A classic VN is pretty much face value on everything and majority of them struggle with pacing everything out.
Personally I'd suggest at least for the interior, like for the house and city I suppose the beach too, have like an arrow you can click to several small pictures and the name of the zone that you can click.
Mainly to avoid people from for example clicking on the bathroom door when they want to go to the living room or the MC room.
To be clear that is not an issue of them being too close but of learning the layouts.
Though on another note this VN does have potential and if the updates are decently sized and frequent enough I'll most likely support it.
