Author’s note
Lots of super exciting progress this month, I really missed writing and development work, so it felt really good to get back into the swing of things.
I worked on quite a variety of things this month, but the main bulk of my time went towards writing for CT:OS and finishing up a 1st draft of the Merry Crisis visual novel demo.
Merry Crisis
Crows, whom you can find on Tumblr (here) Finished some gorgeous capsule art for Merry Crisis VN!
More character art completed
More backgrounds completed
1st draft of the VN demo complete! I’ve done all the writing and the coding, plus a little character screen (to keep track of stats) and glossary (a dictionary of Singaporean terms). It’s currently being polished and play-tested.
Check out the 'official' game page here (I hope to create a Steam page for the VN soon!)
CT:OS
I've completely finished writing the Malik and Sanderson QF, as well as coding G's POV scene
I've also written the post-match reactions and interview for the Malik & Sanderson variation, plus the encounter with Sam after the match.
Currently editing and hope to release Ch 7 pt. 3 by 5 Sep!

Other news
Monsoon Games Website is live! This is mostly for “formal” marketing purposes.
Plan for Sep
Besides finishing editing + releasing CT:OS ch 7 pt.3…
Continue writing Ubin scenes (aim for ~10k words)*
Continue polishing the VN demo and finishing more characters and backgrounds, hopefully get a trailer & steam page up by ~Early Oct?
*Note: I had previously wanted to release this as a standalone teaser chapter in Aug, but decided to focus on the Malik & Sanderson QF instead since it felt more unfinished having half the QF variations out but not the other half, plus I decided I wanted to release the Ubi chapter only when it was integrated with the rest of the demo, which still requires some editing!
