DID HE JUST– HE DID 💀 THAT SONOVA [redacted]!!👊⚔️🤬 HOW VERY DARE– (Want more? Nozomu #manga link in 🧵‼️) #visualnovel #comic

A buff cat man flies through the wall in the first panel, lands on our heroine's desk, and cracks it in half. She asks if he's okay, but he winks at her! Then she realizes he ripped her exam, her one chance to qualify as a healer!

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!

haha, I just got faked out by a sound effect in my game. It is an insect flying past your head and I had the game running in the background and was like... oh no there's a mosquito in the house! 🦟

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.

Playtesters have had mixed reactions to our boy toys… 🎩Julius: "I liked him more than I expected" 😸Seth: "Surprisingly wholesome" and of course, the classic 💪 Seki: "I like my men DUMB" #visualnovel #vndev

A man with a long ponytail rubs the back of his head while wearing a pretty blush on his cheeks. He is Seki, a romanceable male lead of the upcoming visual novel Nozomu School Daze by Maroon Ink Studio!
