When I do pick it back up (but don’t expect that to happen anytime soon), I will let everyone know. But for now, it’s going to be on hiatus. Thanks for your understanding.

I want to be able to focus on other things that aren’t VN development, and I don’t want to constantly feel guilty for doing these things when I “should” be working on my game. So yeah.

Back when I started working on it, I had just finished my first game and I thought I could just breeze through a second one. Well, I couldn’t. Even though it’s close to completion, the final stretch is just unachievable for me currently, in terms of effort and expenses.

Hey, I have news (not great ones): after thinking about it for a long time, I decided that I need to put the development for H4LW on hold, possibly for a long while.

This guy seems to be a favorite among the people auditioning for the VA roles. 😄

Got a lot of auditions already, and looking forward to more! If you're a #VoiceActor looking for a paid role, feel free to check out the available ones for this #VisualNovel project:
castingcall.club/projects/hate-
Deadline is 21st August 2020.
(I marked it NSFW just to be on the safe side, but there's nothing actually NSFW on the page. The script however is 18+, so minors can't apply.)

The goal is almost reached. Please consider purchasing the bundle if you haven't yet! It's for a good cause. 🙂
(4 / 4) I don't have a release date yet, but despite the hiatus I had to take, things are looking good for later this year. Keep your eyes open for more updates!

(3 / 4) Now that the script is finished, I can look for voice actors. There will be a separate announcement for when the casting starts, which will be very soon. It will be done via CastingCallClub, a website for this sort of thing.

(2 / 4) The art is still being drawn. Most of the backgrounds are done, but we will need a few additional ones still. CGs and sprites are being worked on.

(1 / 4) Like I said in my last tweet, the script (aka story and dialogue) is now fully written and has been edited as well. The music is already done, so in terms of sound, it just needs sound effects and mixing.

And in that moment, Heiko should have known he had messed up big time.
It's #screenshotsaturday, isn't it?
Here's a new CG from the game, presented like an anime screenshot (of sorts)... because those are fun.

It seems to be suprising to some folks, but Roswell HAS a job, and it's in the army. 😁

It's been a while since the last update, but I'm working on the game again currently. Now done incorporating the editor's changes and working on finishing the script of some stray scenes.
Anyway, have a Ros.

Hey #indiedevhour ! Here's a little info about Lisa, one of the characters in my #visualnovel. After getting feedback from my editor on her plot, I'm making some improvements and adding an extra scene that focuses on her.

I spent the better half of 4 years putting this game together. It was hard on me, but #TalkToMeVN is so important to me and the rest of the team. Please give it a looksee and spread the word! twitter.com/boopstudios_/s…

It's #screenshotsaturday! Here's two new sprites.
We meet Lisa again at The Millennium, but this time she has company… How will THAT go?

Making some good progress lately. About 90% of the content of the routes and one of the endings are completely written out now. All the parts that are written have also been coded into the game. And I've sent what I have off to the editor!

After gathering feedback on the first closed demo testing, I'm making some improvements to that portion of the game. A big thanks to the people who participated! Your voices have been heard. ✨ There will most likely be another run soon.

WIP for a scene that happens later in the game:
Taylor having a not-so-uplifting talk with his boss.
