10K more words to add, a little more work on some extras, and final touches on the GUI should mark the end for the demo. Latest update is the new side bar to hide every thing away :D #indiedevhour #visualnovel #vndev

Danger has been found, hmm, what could it be? Good progress on making an easily configurable sound atmosphere and made some simple parallax effects #screenshotsaturday #vndev #indiedev #visualnovel

As another month goes by our progress increasingly ramps up. A slow flame may produce the best flavor, but a large flame can produce hazardous results untamed. Question: What is good atmosphere for you in a VN? Silver Sheep is angry #visualnovel #vndev #indiedevhour #indiedev

Long time no tweet After a long silence we have a bit of an update. Due to some newer features coming to Ren'Py, we've been working on rewriting the game to be more performant on computers. Support for multiple resolutions was also added. #visualnovel #vndev #gamedev #indiedev

We are playing around with an audio visualizer that we can hopefully implement into the game at some point. For now though it's just in after effects but the visualization so far is fun to look at! streamable.com/2ky9w7 #indiedevhour #visualnovel #vndev #indiedev

Once again another music post. Our OST is nearing 30 tracks total and there will only be more added. I love music way too much. streamable.com/tf6dq4 -Khailz #visualnovel #vndev #indiedevhour #indiedev

Music is a large part of what makes a games atmosphere. Being able to set the tone, while having a good pairing mood and story, is really important to us. Sometimes we just want to chill and enjoy the calm before the storm. #IndieDevHour #visualnovel #vndev #indiedev

What does he see? Death? Misfortune? Misery? Life presents itself to people in countless ways, those experiences can be the reason one stops being able to think good thoughts. Our discord is open to anyone who wants to get updates and talk about the story. discord.gg/Ywj8993

Zeais is the main male lead. Despite being born with visual impairments, he charges in with everything he has so he doesn't slow anyone down. Being at a disadvantage can be your greatest asset given the situation. #IndieDevHour #visualnovel #vndev #indiedev

This past week work went into the notification system to make it non-intrusive to the reader. Now you can get notifications about important unlocks and still be immersed in the journey ahead. Ideas for improvement are very appreciated! #indiedevhour #indiedev #visualnovel #vndev

I'd like to announce my newest project and track! "Overcoming" from the #DistantLeapsToCircinus OST by @StudioUnlighted! It's so cool to be one of the composers working on this, because good lord it looks fantastic! #gameaudio #indiedev #visualnovel soundcloud.com/alecshea/overc

Though it's been a while since Distant Leaps to Circinus was started as a VN, it's always great to see the progress made over time. It's only the main menu, but its the first piece I wanted to make that felt good. ~Khailz #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Promotional Teaser for Eris: A young girl who was born with eyes that resembled the rings of the heavens. Quiet, tenacious, kind, and vengeful are just a few words that define her deep character. What role will she serve in Circinus? #visualnovel #IndieGameDev #vndev

There's a storm outside and Zeais is unprotected, the weather on Circinus is erratic as always. Living in a world of unknown possibilities is what the children have been born into, it's their way of life. #visualnovel #indiedev #vndev #screenshotsaturday

Lore information will be very important when it comes to connecting the pieces of Circinus's mystery. That's why the ability to search will speed up your theory crafting. You can search for names and description parts! #visualnovel #indiedev #vndev
