Hi everyone, Moka here! School turned out way busier than I expected, and juggling game-dev with real life has been rough. Still, I managed to wrap up Build 9 before the year ended! This chapter is word-heavy but slow-paced—fewer things actually happen—yet I hope you’ll enjoy it all the same.
The main contents of the new version are as follows:
Fixed missing translations on some choices
Updated some character portraits and facial expressions
6 new CGs
8 new SCs
20k words for Bryant's main route
5 endings and belonging achievements
You can now scroll through earlier dialogue with the mouse wheel in the full-screen text box (handy for inner-monologue and finale scenes)
You’ve probably noticed: each update keeps getting longer, and the gaps between them keep widening. My physical and mental stamina have been slipping under long-term pressure, so I can’t sustain a rapid writing cycle anymore. I also lean toward long sentences and psychological digressions—fine in moderation, but not a great fit for Fried chicken wings cause love fires , which absolutely must finish before I graduate in 2027 or I’ll turn into an unemployed basement dweller.
So, for the next month or two, I’m pausing Fried Chicken to knock out a short, light-yuri side project. The goal is to reset my creative rhythm; once that’s done, I’ll come back and complete Route B.
I’ll drip-feed info about the new game as I work on it. It’s a 30-minute micro-VN; I might open a small preorder key crowdfunding campaign. When FCWCLF returns, it’ll be to deliver the finale of Route B. Look forward to it—and thank you for waiting!
