Hello everyone, welcome to the second dev log for "CTRL FREAK"! (/^▽^)/

Today we are focusing again on new art again, however, this time this is about art that was intended to be in "CTRL FREAK" from the start, but we just didn't have the time to add it in. But now with the demo released and more time on our hands, we can finally introduce an essential feature in many a visual novel...

CGs! ✧˖*

Two types in fact!

First we have what I am calling the Background CG, in which the characters are inserted into the background itself! 

This CG will be the most common type, meant to add movement and life to the environment. It is also meant to resemble some retro games' aesthetics, on account of "CTRL FREAK" being partially inspired by retro games, at least in its art!

While this type of CG can look simple, this CG will add to the characters by letting feel apart of the world no matter what! However, this type of CG is not the most dramatic or cinematic of CGs, so we have another type of CG...

The traditional CG!

This CG type is more complicated, more detailed and will depict important moments in "CTRL FREAK", such as the ending of the common route, or endings in general! This CG type will be rarer, but that will make it all the more dramatic when they appear.

Once the CGs that are a part of the common route are all finished, the demo might be updated as well! With new CGs and plans to add a bit to the sprites themselves, the updated demo will give more of a taste of what the finished "CTRL FREAK" will look like.

Hopefully you all will enjoy these new CGs! :D

Plans for the Next Dev Log ✧˖*

Art is progressing very smoothly as a result of many CGs getting finished in a short amount of time, so next dev log plans to focus on a different but equally important part of the visual novel, the story. With three routes planned to be written, we have to get moving on the writing part of the visual novel, and hopefully we'll have some good news on that aspect next dev log in about 1-2 weeks.

Art will continue being made, but writing, and maybe even programming, is our main focus!

Until the next log! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
