Hello! Sorry this update is a bit late. Let's dive in!

Sahi's Route
Sahi's route is in beta testing!
Lune's Route
So I've been working through Lune's route, mostly coding in sprites and music, etc. The writing was pretty solid for this one on the first go through, but there are a few things I want to tidy up and add, I believe. I'm actually on the last scene in his route, and then I just have the endings. The endings will take a bit more time because there are a few scenes I tagged that need to be added in or fleshed out, but it shouldn't take me much longer. I anticipate finishing this up mid November.
In the final draft of all routes, I'll be adding more branching for personality stats—just small, one or two line changes in dialogue, but combined with a couple of these in every scene, it should make for a fun new experience with each playthrough.
Love Letters
These should be out by the time of my first Kickstarter update, which will be 11/12. All the recordings are in, I just need to put together the final cut and package them nicely. I'll be including a .mov, a .txt, and .wav for all three for all backers in nicely zipped packages.
New Start Screen
I've been working on a new start screen, as the original was always intended as a placeholder. I'm happy with how it came out! This has been implemented and will be in the next update.
Skin Tones
I've been slowly working on implementing the new skin tones, thanks to reaching our stretch goal! Right now I've just done masc Terra's darker skin tone. My goal is to do about one a week until completion. I really like how they turned out!
Notice
I will be going to visit family from Mid November to early December, during which I won't have my tablet, so the weekly drawing streams will be canceled during that time. Unfortunately, my new tablet is just too big to travel and my license for CSP is only available on one computer at a time, and I can't bring my desktop. I'll be sad but will have to subsist on a sketchbook in the meantime.
Anyway, because I won't be able to draw I'll be focusing on programming and writing.
Conclusion
Things are still going along smoothly! I'm still hoping to finish up the second draft and send all routes to beta testing by the end of the year.

I've honestly always loved the original start screen, but this new one is super gorgeous! I love the lowered opacity close-ups on all their faces. Also, having the dark silhouettes of arches held up by pillars between each scene and the subtle glitter in the darkness like stars is super pretty. Love it!
I’m glad you think so! And don’t worry, the original start screen will still get some use!
