Welcome back, let's talk about the state of the July 1st planned update.

+ The update for the Otome Jam will be the fully extended chapter one. While there won't be an open route yet, there will be some common route bad endings🎉

What's been done since the last dev log

+ The story is now at 22k, some first draft and some cleaned up writing. Update includes a mix of in-person scenes and new chats.

+ Shifted the UI design for the chat box to a phone instead of a desktop application.

+ Initial sketches of art for supplement items in the game.

+ Initial sketches of important NPCs and monstrosities.

+ Minor adjustments to the love interests' sprites and animations.

Next steps:

+ My main focus before the July release is getting the writing fully cleaned and coded, and finishing the art for the relevant supplement items.

+ Nice-to-have: important NPCs will be finished and animated, otherwise stand in shadow figures will be used for the initial update.
