Hello everyone! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Welcome to the first dev log for "CTRL FREAK", which, while it only got its demo so far, we are working on the full version as we speak! 

And that is what this dev log, and dev logs later on, will be focused on, the development of the full version so that anyone can keep up on this visual novel's development. Hopefully we can present a dev log every 1-2 weeks, depending on how much we get done per week!

Demo Release ✧˖*

First off, we'd just like to say how happy we are that a surprising amount of people actually played our demo! This may have been our first true project, but we wanted it to get in front of people and are currently succeeding. Now we just need to keep eyes on this visual novel, especially as the full game will be quite a bit longer, with multiple routes!

The demo only presents the common route of the visual novel, so while it does hint at the multiple routes, these routes will not appear until the full game release. 

However! We certainly will not leave you all in the dark while waiting for the full game's features, thus today, future characters will be the main topic!

Future Characters ✧˖*

"CTRL FREAK"'s demo only had three visible characters, both due to story and other characters not being fully created yet. However, the full game will have several side characters, some of which will be more important in certain routes, thus being a part of the routes changing the story!

And right now, these side characters are actually very close to basically being done, from their designs to their personalities!

From the main side character of Renan's route...

To the main side character of Blake's route, who does actually appear in the demo, just only on a computer as text!

Each of these side characters will help flesh out the world beyond the main characters, provide more interaction, and just help push this story forward! While the main characters are the main force behind the story, these characters are here to provide more to themes and such, so please look forward to their inclusion in the game.

Plans for the Next Dev Log ✧˖*

Right now, art is a big part of what we're finishing right now, from backgrounds to the characters I presented above. 

In general, me and my team member Drakka both are hoping to progress in CGs particularly, due to CGs not being in the current demo of "CTRL FREAK". 

We'll be sure to having something more to show in 1-2 weeks, so be sure to keep an eye on "CTRL FREAK"! Until next log! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
