Finished Megumi's ending a couple of months ago, but wanted to make revisions to the rest of the script before giving an update.
Screenshot of all updated word count totals, for those interested.

Mizuki's ending is done but will need more revisions. As Mizuki is lesbian (and stays that way even after Kouhei confesses), I wanted to create a narrative that explores the difference between sexual attraction and emotional attraction.

Finally an update - It took longer than I was expecting, but I've just finished writing Minamo's good ending. Final word/page count exceeded my goal of 50% of the common route and Minamo's is supposed to be one of the shorter endings.

Finished another round of small revisions to the common route and pre-end chapter.
Good endings are next - Might be a little slow to update going forward, but that's to avoid any spoilers as the main plot get more fleshed out.

Final bad ending.
Megumi has found God and taken a vow of chastity, and thus must remove any temptations that may lead her astray of the righteous path.
Unfortunately that means she can no longer be around the person she loves most.

Next bad ending is for Mizuki.
This one is a bit more meta-humory, as Mizuki suddenly shows up wearing a straw hat and declares her intentions in assembling the strongest crew to achieve her goal of becoming the King of the Pirates.

Bad Ending time, and Minamo always comes first (literally).
Minamo decides to stay on Hachijo-jima to start a stray pet rescue and her not returning to Point Pinakuru ruins the group dynamic and causes everyone else to drift apart.

Probably the most important part of PE-1.2 is that it contains the final choices for determining which ending can be unlocked.
Too difficult to explain the logic in a small space, so please review the attached images if interested.

Finished with the final #eroge scene in PE-1.2, and there isn't much more I can say about it other than this scene features a pink-haired crazy girl named Megumi.
The pink-haired girls are always fun, and the crazy just more gravy.

What #visualnovel would be complete without the obligatory "hero walks in on a girl changing scene"?
Probably most of them, actually.
Well, Mizuki already hates Kouhei, so it isn't like this will put a strain on their relationship or anything.

PE-1.2 Features the first #eroge elements of the game.
Unfortunately for Minamo, that means she has to lose her bikini top under some dubious circumstances.
At least she won't be the only one getting embarrassed during this chapter.

PE-1.2 takes place during Golden Week, and Akira brought everyone to Hachijō-jima.
Secluded black sand beaches are the perfect place for Mizuki and Megumi to stage an epic battle between Fire and Ice, but who is actually the strongest?

Got to the first demarcation point, where the story splits between the Minamo/Mizuki/Megumi routes and the pre-end chapter that will lead to the Haruka and Yumi routes.
Pre-End 1.2 will eventually split off into the 6 good/bad endings.

Being an essential worker during an apocalypse makes for slow progress, so I ended up re-reading and making a few more small revisions to add anchor points that will help tie the CR into each EG.
Work on Pre-end chapters should start Sunday.

Not exactly an update, but I figured I would share a visual comparison of the structural differences between and Pointo Pinakuru - Knight has more decisions and bad ends, but is a lot more linear than Pointo Pinakuru

UPDATE: Pointo Pinakuru, chapter 11 complete at about 10,000 words. 11 was the last common route chapter, before the transition into the pre-end game chapters. 12 is where things get complicated, so look forward to more updates soon.

Going forward, I won't do "daily" updates anymore; I'll update on progress as each chapter gets completed.
Currently, chapter 10 is almost done, and 11 is partially written, so after 11 is complete, I'll provide an updated word count.

UPDATE: Pointo Pinakuru revisions completed with another 3,000 words added.
With being 90% complete and stalled without a character artist, I think I'm going to mothball it until Pointo Pinakuru is further along.

I'm going to be taking a short break from Pointo Pinakuru while I sort out a few things with ; During this down time, I'll also read and revise what was already written to improve the story and characters going forward.

Day 16 complete - Chapter 9(a/b) completed. Third common route choice goes to Megumi who desperately wants to prove her love for Kouhei, so she crawls into his bed, thinking it would make them both happy, but things are never that easy.

Day 15 complete - Chapter 8(a/b) complete. Another choice chapter; this time focused on Mizuki, who came to play one of Kouhei's console games and found a Z-rated title in the box.

Day 14 complete - chapter 7(a/b) complete. This chapter contains the first of 6 choices that the reader will get during the first 3 routes. Minamo is getting the true love ending, so her choices have a higher sequence than the others.

Day 13 completed - chapter 6 almost complete at 2888. Megumi didn't get any airtime in the last chapter, so she asked Kouhei for some alone time in the woods behind the lighthouse. About 500 more words needed - maybe I'll finish tomorrow.

Day 12 complete - Chapter 6 at 1,200 words. Was going to write about the drudgery of school life and part-time jobs, but everyone decided they'd rather have a hanami party at the lighthouse with Yumi, so I went with the common consensus.

Day 11 Complete - Chapter 5 completed; Added an important plot point, where for the first time, Yumi gets to have a conversation with someone other than Kouhei; Now Yumi can have all the friends, after decades of isolation and loneliness.

Day 10 completed - Chapter 5 near complete at 4300 words.
The focus is more on Minamo than I originally intended, but her ending will be the default if the reader makes all the "good" choices, so it isn't that much of a problem.

Day 9 completed - Chapter 4 complete/5 sitting at 2300 words. 5 will be structured in a similar manner as 4 and will give more 1 on 1 interactions with the three elementals, and include smaller interactions for Yumi and Haruka.

Day 8 completed - Chapter 4 mostly complete at 4,500 words; I just want to add in a couple small interactions for Haruka and Yumi, so they don't feel left out (probably less than 500 words, so maybe I'll finish later).

ポイント ピナクル: Day 5 completed and still the war against chapter 3 rages on. I've sent over 7,000 words into the fray, and still it refuses to surrender. Maybe if I tip the count over 9000, I can defeat this chapter and move on to chapter 4. #amwriting #Visualnovel #indiedev
