Bullets & Butterflies Log


Hello everyone, Shitsu here.

And we’re back at it again with a HUGE log full of new content, updates and interesting news for backers. So let's get into it.


Scene Four, Five and beyond.

Starting directly from where we left off in the previous log, there are quite a few new things we've added since then; most notably several interesting changes to the way we'll be moving forward in development.

As it goes without saying, the way we've been working up to scene three has been fairly linear; one scene at a time with no more than a couple of deviations in each route/important choice. 

Which met the requirements perfectly and was the only way to move the development along quickly without complicating things. 

However, with the arrival of scene four (where the routes start) it is evident that this process had to change in order to make the speed and effectiveness we work straightforward and uncomplicated, since working equally on each route would end up making progress extremely slow and REALLY stressful.

So we have decided to finish each route separately, working exclusively one at a time, with all our energies focused. 

This strat will not only streamline the development process, making it faster and less stressful, but it will also ensure that each route maintains consistent quality.

By focusing exclusively on one route, we'll prevent the risk of forgetting about any characters or delaying the writing of a particular route. Guaranteeing that no route becomes inferior to others due to being written during a time when our attention is diverted elsewhere.

We are currently working on Emily's route, titled "Bullet with Butterfly Wings".

And we hope to be able to finish it by the end of this year, allowing us to move on to the others.  As soon as we have more progress we will be informing you here.


New Outfits

Scene four is separated into two parts, the first being the day you choose your club, and the second being MC's first date with one of the girls. 

This is why, of course, we added different outfits for each girl. (Marina's... currently not finished :l)


Scene Three DEMO Progress

As you may recall from our previous update, we expressed our intention to enhance the DEMO of the game, allowing you to enjoy a more immersive gaming experience while we continue to work on the development.

We are excited to share that the DEMO update is now very close to completion!

It's important to understand that the version of the game we're currently working with is relatively raw and requires several adjustments, testing, and translations to ensure that the DEMO is of the quality necessary for a smooth public release; so that's the main reason why the update has been taking so long.  (Y'know, no buggy stuff)

Nevertheless, the update is almost ready for you to test. The translation work has been completed, and the only remaining step is to integrate it into the code (copy and paste). Once this is done, the update will be uploaded to our Discord server, giving our Kickstarter backers the opportunity to play it first.

BUT! For those who are not Kickstarter backers, please don't freak out. The DEMO update will be available to the public just a couple of weeks later. We want everyone to have the chance to enjoy this update, and it's our way of showing gratitude for your unwavering support.

Once again, thank you very much for your support. And as always, we'll be informing you about any issue or important information that comes up.

XXOO,
