Looks like some of my promo work's paid off! http://youtu.be/xx9gFm6hnnI

The pressure's on then ay! Hope you enjoy it bud!

I believe my world still manages to be fully engrossing, but through the artwork and design as opposed to simply more time being exposed to it. Obviously I built the novel as a result of my personal experiences with VNs, I'm sure everyone has different reading habits/preferences - I'm always interested to hear peoples feedback after reading my novel

Not at all, I appreciate you taking the time to check it out and also your feedback The .exe definitely doesn't get deleted, there's no way I'd know how to code that lol (not that I'd want to!) There's a few reasons for this really - the main one is, I was so sick of reading poorly translated VNs with tons of filler so I made a concious decision to only include important scenes that advanced the characters/plot in a meaningful way which is probably why it's the length it is. There's a reason that both of them get friendly quickly that makes perfect sense after going through the novel once - it's definitely a story you'd read from a new perspective the second time through - everything should fall nicely into place That being said, I think those are the only 2 highly-descriptive parts in the novel, and the reason I wrote them like that was to highlight their significance... like how you remember important events more vividly. The VN is definitely a mesh of light-hearted an serious moments. I totally get where you're coming from, but I don't think I'd recover any funds from a donate option which would mean I'd be unable to work on updates/release any more VNs (because it'll just continue to cost me money which I don't have) which would be a shame - I'd definitely be interested to hear the rest of the communities views on this though! It's one of the features I'd love to add! Only Kira would be voiced though as I want the player to put themselves in the protagonist's shoes (male or female)

Thank you all for your kindness and support, I appreciate it - I was going to put links to everything (inc the demo), but again, wasn't sure on the rules! I'll update the first post with a link and discount coupon I completely understand where you're coming from maefomn, the only reason I'm selling it (for the same price as a cup of coffee) is in the hope I'll make back some of the money I invested into the project - as I said, I'd be awesome to get to the point where I can afford to develop it further, and if it really took off, develop the sequel/prequels I've written! I could well have, I'm still struggling to promote it to be honest, I guess because it's such a niche genre it's hard to gain exposure, hence why I started this thread! If any of you have any advice it'd be appreciated It's more than just a simple romance VN but I want to keep this thread spoiler free Cheers for your interest!

http://youtu.be/rN1L9Z6DIus Ahoy team! I hope this isn't against the rules (I'd be more than happy to edit my post if it is (promoting such a niche form of media is very tricky!)) but I just wanted to let you know about my VN, 'Always The Same Blue Sky...' Always The Same Blue Sky is a gripping fantastical love story about two young souls, each struggling to make sense of the world in their own way. Complemented by breathtaking artwork and an addictive soundtrack. Due to mysterious circumstances you have been sent to finish studying on a remote Mediterranean island. Sure you're used to moving around, but even you haven't experienced an island quite like this... a girl quite like Kira. In an already niche genre of storytelling, Always The Same Blue Sky stands out as a truly unique, seaside adventure; a timeless tale of love, mystery and humanity. Although it's a polished product I look at it as a work in progress as there's still so much I'd like to do with it, for example I've written a second ending and would like to integrate choices/a branching narrative. I feel it's important to generate interest in it beforehand so that I can justify further work on this project.
