Here's the current state of the game. Road to Salvation has so many choices that we have to make sure that the choices all work first before we can add visuals #screenshotsaturday #coding #playtesting #devbuild #indiegame

Sea lions are so cute! One time one of our devs got to see a bunch of them in person on a beach. The worker there warned everyone to not get close to them.

We've been working hard on mastering audio engineering. Here's a before and after to see how much we've improved! What do you think? And don't mind the menu in the upper left corner. That's for playtesting #screenshotsaturday #audio #playtest #indiedev #game #visualnovel

We've begun experimenting with the main character's "voice". What do you think? #videogame #vn #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #vndev ##visualnovel

Hi everyone, we've been working hard to learn how to balance audio. Our amazing programmer made this tester for us so we can hear different combinations of the audio files and we can manually control the volume in each category. That way we can see what works best! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #vn
