Spoilers for the Nozomu School Daze demo! Cero is our sprite artist who based NSD on his Nozomu manga (link in 🧵) With that background, making a comic out of game events was only natural Watch this space for the thrilling conclusion of this 2pg #manga TOMORROW! #visualnovel

Heroine of Nozomu School Daze Sari is distracted from her exams by thoughts of the two boys who had flirted with her earlier in the day. Then, everything starts shaking!

Our game is so human, it hurts ❤️‍🩹 We refuse to use AI, and we've put six straight months into the artwork, writing, and coding Caitlin, our CG artist, spent 20.7 hours on this CG 😱 And she has 19 of them to draw So human, it hurts ❤️‍🩹 #vndev #indiedev #indiegame

You might not think a game's title screen can aura farm, but by gum, ours does! The team (especially Cero!) worked hard to transform our #RenPy default screen… from this… … to 🎉✨this!✨🎉 #indiedev #vndev

An old title screen for Nozomu School Daze with a simple menu bar to the left, separated from the key art by a single thin line.

A fancy new title screen for Nozomu School Daze with the key art framed by a wooden arch intertwined with vines and flowers. The buttons along the wall use a fancy font, resting on buttons with gold filigree.
