💙LOG 01 UPDATE 💙

you can download it on itch.io now here, and to see the comprehensive content warnings you can visit this link. (SPOILERS)

here's some things you can expect in this update: (READ MORE)

- STORY PROGRESSIONs. continuing on which route you've entered in the demo, you can either progress the story with klein/yael's focused route. depending on reading speed, each routes are approximately 30~1 hour long. i would personally say klein's route is significantly shorter than yael's (i'm sorry klein enjoyers) but again it is dependent.

this update includes 2 new CGs (variations not included)

more player choices

more al screentime for al enjoyers /silly

but what if i went for the 'secret ending' in the demo? can the story continue from that?" no. the 'secret end' is basically a ||premature game over|| ending for the MC lol, however, in this update- you are given a little more context as to why this ending is even included to begin with. you'll also know why you can't continue the game if you went for this ending in the earlier version.

- visual polishes/improvements. new titlescreen, minor sprite edits, and more! a lot of the items mentioned in the game are now illustrated to give players a better visualisation of what they should look like.

- general UI polishes/improvements. changes are not very visible, however, i did made an effort to try and make the UI more aesthetically pleasing, accessible and consistent within the game's art style/aesthetics!

- EXTRA CONTENTs. you can unlock 2 different titlescreens based on the choices you made in the game, and also 2 small easter eggs (which i will not reveal on how to get them, for now, at least- LOL)

if you encountered any problems, please do contact me! it would also be deeply appreciated if you can fill out this feedback form as it helps me to improve the quality of my games and give better experience to players. but please, don't feel obligated to do so! < 3 to know people enjoying what i create already means the world to me.

[kleinv01]

just a little heads up that i'm turning off asks until i can catch up to the current ones! i'm so far behind it's not funny- it'll most likely be back open as usual once i've updated the game with LOG 02 like before.

[kleinv01]

another ooc screenshots for what's coming in KLEIN ROUTE log 01 .

"klein picked up the knife."

^ probably my favorite line in his route so far lol ^ ^ ;

sorry for being dead. because i am . but ive been making steady, consistent progress on the development behind the scenes, a lot of improvements are coming !! hopefully will be ready for beta test soon...

[kleinv01]

hi everyone! sorry for slow responses in answering asks as of late! i read them all, i just have not been able to check tumblr as often as i'd like to; i might have to close inbox in a little while and keep it that way until i can catch up to the current asks, or possibly only reopen it again once the next update is out ( just like before )

i will also start queueing posts more often! thank you for your patience <3

[kleinv01]

i posted a public devlog of LOG 02 on my ptreon, here's the link if you're interested in reading ^^

i think i might start posting them on there now... looks more tidy

[kleinv01]

SMALL DEMO UPDATE .... !!

i just updated the build and it's available to be played now (being annoying rn bcs im announcing this everywhere lol)

these past few months ive been working back n forth on polishing demo - working on log 01 simultaneously because i was so indecisive, and i ended up having a hard time because it was tough to focus on both at the same time lmao so i made the choice of polishing the demo first until im happy w how it looks, and i think i feel better about it now . the indecisiveness is rly getting to me i fear (its embarrassing bc i legit made a devlog on log 01 progress just a while ago LMFAO IM SORRY JSKAHKSG!!!!!!!!!!))))) so here it is, a demo update (??) most of the changes are mainly visuals and just fixing grammar errors/gui, story progression wise it's all the same, there's just new scenes added in between, scenes that i had to left out in the original demo to save up gameplay duration time bcs i think it was quite long already ?? (VIEW MORE SCREENSHOTS BELOW)

the changes are not significant but feel free to check out the new build if u are interested, or wait until log01 release which is gonna take a while lol//// (the characters now blink and have speaking animation, height-accurate, and theyre not awkwardly placed anymore lmfao) 3 'new' characters are also introduced, (2 of them being briar and cassius ^^) u can see them if MC decide to go to the office . . . and interact w them! some other minor improvements are also made ^ ^

please let me know if you happen to encounter any errors and i'll get right into it asap! i hope you enjoy the changes i've made just as much as i do! thank you so much for everyone's support :3c

[kleinv01]

i'll probably hate myself for not making a proper banner for this thing but im dead tired atm so i'll replace this later october progress i've made so far ;w;

-made improvements to the name input/pronoun choosing screens -finished 2 new character sprites -sketched out new CGs for log 01! -tested out speaking animation for when the character speaks !! -tested out character blinking animation! -started implementing codes for a real-time messaging screen for when the mc texts with yael !

once i get more stuff polished, i will be sharing screenshots and out of context recordings here and in the discord server >w<

will be answering asks as soon as i have the time to as well!

[kleinv01]

as promised, ask box is back open now that log 01 is out! keep the questions coming <3

[kleinv01]

a lil' psa? since i've been getting a lot of them in my inbox despite my pinned,

please do NOT send in hyper specific scenarios and explicitly sexual questions in the ask box , i won't answer them ^ ^;; if you want to be down bad by all means go wild i am not gonna stop you !! i m sorry but please go ahead to the discord server here instead where there is a nsfw section, where you can talk about it with other people. i may not actively engage in sexual discussions regarding the characters in the game, but as an adult you are free to do so , and i might even entertain some nsfw hcs /?? on occasions.

whether or not this game will include sexual content will remain heavily tentative. smut has never been my forte, and i'm not exactly comfortable in writing them myself, though, like i said- i do not discourage them !! i don't mind seeing people make nsfw works of the game characters itself :3 just make sure to tag it properly! i know this is a bit of a weird boundary, but i hope this is understandable regardless ;;

[kleinv01]

just a little notice that ask box will be closed until i can answer all the current ones i have and clean up any questions that violates blog guidelines. will be accepting asks again when log 01 is released ! i've been incredibly busy irl, sparing time for the game development has been a little challenging to say, but i'm trying my best ^ ^
