Hello everyone!

In my attempt to be more transparent with the progress on Mise en Scene (and to keep myself honest in working on it) I'm doing yet another progress report.

We're still focusing on the demo update for the time being, but it will lay the groundwork for the rest of the game. Honestly, I couldn't be prouder of how it's coming along.

If you haven't seen the update to the game's page yet, I recommend taking a look! It's still a WIP until the demo releases, but I think it's a good show of what's to come. I've attached a few pictures to this post as well: The title screen, which I hope to make even cooler in game, and the new textbox, which is just a mock-up screenshot without text right now. While I think that the game's previous UI wasn't bad, I really wanted to polish it a little more. It's more than just a saturation boost, too. I remade most the UI from scratch again, meaning that it should look much more crisp and colorful than the last version. I decided to include the cat paw prints since our in game kitty makes a lot of important appearances throughout the game.

All of the CGs are done as well! There were 7 in the legacy demo and in the upcoming update there will be 8!  But it's not just one new CG that you can look forward to seeing. I have also removed one of the previous CGs to replace it with another one of the same character. The ultimate goal in these changes was to make sure that you had a CG upon meeting each character. 

The text related changes are about halfway done. It's a  quick task in the scheme of everything, but it requires the rework in my text program and then fine tuning once it's actually in game. You can think of this part as something akin to directing.  Something that looks good on paper might not translate well when the scene has been played out. Still, I think, it's going to be a really fast rework since I'm keeping 95% of the original text.

As for the sprites, those are almost done as well. I only have Shiro's Pose B sprite and her second outfit left to work on. The pose B sprite is nearly complete so I don't see it taking longer than a week to get Shiro's sprites done.

I can't provide a release date just yet. We're probably looking at late June - early July but please don't expect anything until I can officially announce a date for it.

Thank you for your patience with this project and taking the time to read my post.  ~Noraneko
