Hi everyone! This is June's Q&A responses!!
I was wondering what kind of scenes you find the hardest to write. I always thought action scenes were the hardest to work with just written text, but I'd love to know what you think!

Hi everyone! I decided to do my first "real" dev perspective topic right now even though I just posted the sort of "intro into why I want to post these things."
Ha ha. It's just that I didn't want to put it all into one post since these can get a bit long. But I did want to explain what this is before I posted it!

Hi everyone - sorry for this short update. Yuu's route is edited through chapter 7 but I got sick mid-way through this week and my productivity dropped to zero (mostly due to the fact I'm not sleeping because I can't breathe through my nose. So my ability to think coherently has disappeared.) 👃
Hopefully I will be ab...

So here is the question:
When it comes to CGs and a customisable MC, what would you rather see?
(Assume that the maximum number of CGs is 50 (1 per LI per chapter).
1. Fewer CGs (like maybe only 25 CGs) but the MC is in nearly all of them and is entirely visible (including face, hair, etc)
2. A moderat...

The first time he had that thought, he was taken aback. He'd never really thought that about another person before.
He knew, objectively, when someone was attractive.
