UPDATE 13/1/2025!


Hi, guys! What's up?
How did your week go? Mine was as busy as always :'D
I have some good news to share with all of you though!

- I fixed a bug in Bermuda & updated both itch,io & steam game version!  Turns out that the Antagonist is missing a CG in the gallery: more specifically, his second page, the last CG number 4 out of 5, Shout out to Mari867 who notified me of this bug -^.^)/

- I read your comments and most of you would like to see more Indonesian culture, therefore, Saving Grace artstyle will be leaning more towards eastern. I also consulted my friend who has more knowledge about the culture I had in mind and I was relieved to find out it fits the image I have in my head! She can also help me make original BGMs so this seals the deal <3

Now here comes the hard part--I need to collect references: the outfit, the buildings... I need to find a way to combine elf-ish design with Indonesian culture ^^; (only for royalty, the civillians will be somewhat similar to Winged Ones but it'll be slightly more modern). 

I'm bad at explaining things, aren't I? ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm trying to explain without spoiler so please bear with me!

In any case, after I've collected sufficient references, I'm planning to start with 1 background; The Throne Room. This is the most difficult one but once I finish this, the other backgrounds will usually come to me easier. 

I will also make the resolution bigger this time: 1920x1080. I wasn't able to do this before because my laptop will crash before I can finish a background lol. But now, I have a PC and it's possible now! I'm still learning about how to compress the images/game size but I really hope I can give you a higher quality experience >_<

With that said, cheers for another productive week!
Let's keep working hard together but don't forget to eat well & rest well! -^.^)/
If you have any questions, suggestions, or even want to give me a reference about elf-ish design, you can contact me via email: sweetchielvn@gmail.com. 

See you again next week!
xoxo,

SweetChiel

I have an  unrelated question - do you consider not gender locked  MC? It could make a difference for some although I do understand if it's not something on your ti do list.

That is a good question, Ezer! 

I once considered to give readers the option to be a woman/man MC, but there are a couple of things I considered:

1.) I don't know how to program it ๐Ÿ˜… I also don't know how the codes work with grammar (if MC is woman will use 'she', if man will use 'he').

2.) a man and woman will have different reactions so the codes, again, will be more complicated (from what I know, a man will have more logic based choices, while a woman will often go with her heart/emotion-based choices). 

3.) the romance options will also be affected since the MC can be female/male. I imagine there will be at least 1 female love interest. Now don't get me wrong, I respect LGBT, but I prefer making male love interests ๐Ÿ’– 

4.) the CGs will also be more complicated since this means I will need to make 2 versions each (1 for male MC & 1 for female MC). That is too much work for me as a solo gamedev Q_Q

With all those things considered, I chose to stay making female MC and I don't think it'll change >_<; thanks for asking though!

Thank you for your detailed reply! Tbh, I played plenty of games where changing the gender didn't change that much - sometimes romance options remained the same as MC's choices. although yeah, question of CGs and pronouns would remain and complicate the work.

 Thank you for the insight into your choice and work! I find it truly interesting to see the glimpse of work put behind the result work we see.

Thank you! This is an amazing update. I wish you all the best and thank you for your hard work.
