I'm finally getting somewhere with the visual novel's development!! It took a whole lot of frustration, but I've got the sprites imported and looking the way I want them (had to use layered images due to the complexity of variations) and now just in the process of coding expressions. I've got one more sprite that's almost colored to code in for the demo. There's still some interface stuff I need to take care of as well, and after that I can probably release a demo? So that's exciting!

I update progress more frequently on twitter, if you're interested:
