Nothing special, just want to share the updates on Year 2 script and the sentiments that go along during writing as the game director and lead writer.

I look back at Year 1 script and I think there is growth in my recent years, thanks to the feedback and the constant inspiration from the media that I have the honor and delight to consume. I really hope that I'm able to finish Y2 script and get ready for fund applying at the end of this year!

Year 2 has a lot of more choices based on your Elements, Stats and Favor points, and I have decided to make the MCs more... detailed, more personality and backstory instead of the "blank" canvas I decided for Year 1. I might twitch Year 1 a bit when we make the entire game.

Hope to see you guys soon!

I awake from a deep slumber ! I want the whole development team to know that I didn't let you guys down, and I'm still working on that french translation!

Only problem is that my timetable became quite suddenly much less flexible, and as such, I don't have as much time as I used to before. SO basically, my progress has been slown down by quite the wide margin, but trust me, it's never nullified !

You'll hear more of me by the end of the year, I promise ! Perhaps even before you release Year 2 update !

You have no idea that I (the director) gasped when I see the noti from you popping !! No worries at all, we are all adults here we understand the pain of mundane life 😭😭😭 (talking as if i am not totally swept away by life so it makes me writing Y2 much slower than I thought 😭😭). Thank you so much again for the constant support, really looking forward to see the French translation!!

I have... let's say an ambivalent announcement to make. I decided to roll up my sleeves for good and actually need a clear answer to proceed forward. I kind of need to know which gender would the characters lean to.Because, as I already explained to you in previous mails, there is no such thing as a gender-neutral pronoun in French. So, I'll make a short list, and if you feel the need to correct me, feel free to do so !

THE REGALS

Mahaya -> Female leaning
Peria -> Female leaning
Suhera -> Male leaning
Yulia -> Childish-leaning ? Female leaning

THE OFFICERS

Cricachu -> Definitely male leaning
Eebak -> Male leaning
Lanmei -> I'm unsure on that one, probably male leaning
Myshil -> Obviously female leaning
Ros maeri -> Tomboy Female leaning
Ruvius -> As ambiguous as Lanmei, but i'd go for male leaning

THE ATTENDANTS

Crassula -> Definitely male leaning
Gem -> Probably female leaning
Jura -> Definitely female
Kiru -> Obviously a male leaning character
Muna -> Most likely female leaning
Soo -> Probably male leaning

As stated before, I made this list to compensate for the lack of a gender-neutral pronoun, but if you have any other option, I'm all ears !

I (the director) have to say I'm really impressed with how you observe the characters, it almost ticks all of my intentions! But for now, let us have a moment to discuss all of these, we will get back to you soon  🌷

Will you make the main character more detailed in the second year or from the beginning of the game? it is unclear what will happen to those who are happy with their saves.

If you are talking about writing of the main character, yes! And if you are talking about database on journals and all, we are slowly implementing, stay tuned!
