Weekly Update #427: Writing Progress

This week, I’ve made some pretty good progress on the script for GENBA no Kizuna‘s forth chapter! Both Keiichi‘s and Rei‘s next investigation routes are fully written now! Although they are still in need of some more polish, you can at least read through both of them from beginning to end now. Together, they add another ~8,000 words worth of content to the game!

With only around 1,000 words of that, Keiichi‘s route is definitely on the shorter side this time. There’s a good reason for that, of course, but you’ll have to learn about that in the finished game. All I can say at the moment is that, after two rounds of interviews, he finally gets a chance again to do some investigating himself!

As for Rei, her route works just like her previous ones, but we do introduce a new little interactive mechanic here, which will also be featured in Shinketsu‘s next route. I don’t really want to say much about it either, at least not until we have some screenshots to show you, so it’ll probably be a little longer until I can tell you what this is about.

In any case, I’m pretty happy how these two routes have turned out and I think that they’re going to be very interesting, as they provide a lot of new clues and background info on the case!

Now, with these two taken care of, that leaves two more characters, of course, to complete this third set of investigation routes.
Both Shinketsu‘s and Himatsu‘s have actually already been worked on, so I hope to finish them very soon as well!

For now, I’m gonna get back to the Halloween artwork, however! As for you, I hope you’ll enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Until next Saturday, please take care and have a very spooky time :3
