Hello,

Sorry for the late update—we've been so focused on working on the outline and the art that we have completely lost track of the date.

We changed more than we expected over the past month we've been reviewing the game's outline. As we don't want to have to take another pause to figure this stuff out after we release the demo, we've been focusing on fleshing out the new outline completely and getting as much of the preparation stage out of the way as possible. Naturally, this led to more work on the outlining and preparation part of making the game than on the actual demo, so we're sorry to say the new demo won't come out yet. But don't worry, we are working on it and will release it as soon as it's ready! 

In the meantime, we hope for your patience and thank you for still sticking with us here.

Now that we got that part out of the way, we want to share some of the changes we've made to the game over the past month. :)

First, we've decided on a new name, "Amaranthine Dawn", and a slightly more colorful GUI to fit more with the new direction the story is going. The romance is definitely the shining star now, though the mystery is still the main plot driving the story.

Second, as you can see, Rene and Adele (now Emem) have changed genders, with Rene now female and Emem male. This was motivated by technical concerns, as Adele's hair wasn't matching the quality of other hair and because of some other issues with her and Rene's old models. Some characters also have new clothing and some other appearance changes to better fit into the world.

We also changed the personalities, motivations and even backgrounds of some characters to match their new roles within the story and the new plot outline. We're very happy that the new plan will allow for much more interactions and banter between the core cast as well as more romantic scenes with the love interests.

On the other hand, there won't be different personalities to choose from at the start, but we decided on that as we wanted to allow for more flavor and personality building over the choices themselves. This means there will be a lot more choices in the game than before.

We're planning to update the page and all the relevant details when we update the demo.

Thank you for following our game's development, and we hope to still see you here when we come back.  :)

Until next time,

Aleksandra & Katarina.
