Chain: 50% proofreading
Roya: 50% proofreading
Secret: 30% writing
Extra stories: 10% writing
These are current script statistics. I finished writing Chain & Roya's storylines. Combined, it's about 155k words. Once the DLC is finished, the word count will likely increase to around 200k. The main game, with 4 routes + extra stories, was around 270k words. This means, the DLC is longer per route and has more choices. Once the scripts are proofread, I progress with adding images and screens.
I read all the reviews on Steam of the main game. The main critique is that the heroine makes bad decisions. I want to improve my writing by adding more inner monologues and menu choices. While the DLC storylines follow a similar plotline, I wrote an entirely new prologue with more menu choices. The order of meeting characters and their location are different too. You don't have to play the main game to enjoy the DLC. However, I added details that make it fun for returning players.
In the DLC you'll explore different places. The screenshot below is from Roya's office. I like old-fashioned styles and reflect this in the backgrounds.

Mr Shinen
mysterious manThe secret route involves around 4 characters, one of them is this mysterious man. He is mentioned before, but never appeared before. The plot takes 3 months AFTER Roya or Chain's route. This route can be unlocked after going through the other two first so the order of events makes sense. |
