Alright, if you’ve been closely following our recent updates, you probably know that our main goal right now is to finally get the entire first chapter of GENBA no Kizuna fully playable. In order to do so, we need to add 4 additional scenes to the content of the extended demo, and although that might not sound like much, one of those scenes is actually an entire investigation segment, so the term “scene” may not be completely accurate here.

You can examine a lot of objects in his room and talk to Amber about various topics, all of which will trigger a wide variety a small scenes. As a matter of fact, “scene 11” by itself almost makes up 1/3 of the entire first chapter.

In last week’s blog post, I also mentioned that some of the dialogue scenes with Amber cover rather complex topics, which posed quite a challenge to write, and all of this plays into why it’s been taking so long to get the “last bit” of the first chapter done.

I will talk about all of this in more detail once we get to the point where everything is actually done and released (at least to patrons), so today, I’d like to focus on a different step towards achieving this goal: adjusting the prologue.
