It took more time than expected, but here we are. The first ending of Aya Edition. Let's get this out of the way, V0.8.3 adds:
- 14340 words (total: 404k words)
- 6 CG sets (total: 105 CGs)
- 3 Lew scenes (total: 59 lewd scenes)
Although this is the first ending, it doesn't really feel that way. Compared to the original, Aya Edition, I think, was stronger during the corruption phase. I feel like the endings will be inferior to the original. Though that's kind of hard for me to evaluate, really. Sorry for always being negative. I know it's not the way you want to go about reading the update.
In any case, you will notice that there are quite a few animations… That's because the action usually ramps up toward the end. I sincerely hope that it doesn't mess with my schedule, but if I need four animations for an update… I might have a hard time with the current animators that I have. Just something to keep in mind.
I don't have much to say about the content of this update. As you can see, the game is already 404k words (with the common route). That's… a lot more than I thought this game was going to be. We still have three endings left after this one, around 100k words to go. Hopefully, we conclude this game in something like 6 months…?
Something in this update did make me… feel a bit sad. I talk a bit about it in the commentaries. Can't really mention it now though.
I will also raise the price of the game by a few dollars. There's enough content in the game at this point that I feel like it's the right time to do so.
