I can consider that my VN isn't a flop! Yeah!

About the creator

Hello everyone, and thanks for checking my page!
I'm Haptales, a beginner french developer, and I finally found the courage and motivation to start my very first project!
Writing in English, rendering on Koikatsu, and bringing everything to life in Ren'py are all new things I'm learning while making this VN, so expect a few issues here and there^^  
About RomCom: Divergence
Starting a new game, picking a name, completing the story and checking all endings...
Encountering an obstacle too great to overcome? Cheats are there!
Does it reminds you of someone?
Well, this time you will see a story about characters who have their lives turned upside down by this "someone" :)
This VN will be divided into episodes, each one following a different timeline and protagonist (Male or Female).
Release Schedule
As this is my first project of this nature, it is quite difficult to make an estimate at the moment.
I should be able to release a new chapter every 1.5 month, but it will also depend on my full time job.
Why support me?
By supporting my work, you will allow me to devote more time to it.
It means faster releases and higher quality content.
You'll gain access to subscriber-only posts, lewd previews, and get to play new releases before anyone else.
Additionally, at the end of an episode, you will have the chance to participate in a Class Council where you can interact with the characters (Questions, theories, etc.)!
Don't want/can't support me yet?
That's okay too!
New releases will always be made available for free a week after release, so you can support me just by playing and sharing your thoughts about the game!
Although I intend to complete this project no matter what, every little bit of support will help me!

Chapter 2 - Blackboard writing (Tentative name)

Hello everyone!
As promised, you'll find a list of scenes in which you can write something for the next chapter.
Of the five available, only one ended up with a blackboard, so I guess I'll have to come up with another name for it all.
Pictures information
Check out the pictures, then refer to their numbers for more info on the scene itself!
1) Sensei's classroom - Characters present (MC, Sayuri, Misaki, Takeshi, Sensei)
2) MC's kitchen - Characters present (MC, MC's Mom, ???, ???), breakfast!
3) MC's neighborhood - Characters present (MC, Sayuri, ???), on the way to school

Chapter 2 - Progress Report 1

Hello everyone!
The last couple of weeks have been quite a busy time for me, but I feel like I've made a lot of progress in spite of everything.
Unfortunately, this is mostly behind-the-scenes work, so this time, there is no preview pic or big render counts to show off.
What has been done?
So far, the whole script for Chapter 2 is written, but... I don't know yet how many renders there will be.
What I do know is that it's going to be a long chapter.
Currently, and based on the script, chapter 2 should be at least 25% longer than chapter 1.
With post-render adjustments, it could be even more.

Привет! Извините, я не говорю по-русски! Но если кто-то готов сделать перевод, я с радостью добавлю его в игру!

Hi! Sorry, I don't speak Russian! But if someone is willing to make a translation, I will gladly add it to the game!

Chapter 1 - Preview

Hello!
I'm happy to show you this preview of the next release of RomCom: Divergence!
Chapter 1 will focus on the MC's first conquest and... Wait a minute, it's going to be Maya?!
Isn't that like starting with the highest level of difficulty?!
"Why are you so weird today, Senpai?"
"Who the hell do you think I am, you little shit?!"
"You make fun of me and then ask me for help?!"
"I would never put my personal feelings ahead of my duty."
"Should I bash your head before or after you confess?"

Chapter 1 - Progress Report

Hello!
It's been 3 weeks since my last post, so I think a little progress report is in order!
I'm still working hard with what little time I have, but I see the finish line getting closer.
For the new year I challenged myself to release the new update before February, so where am I 3 weeks later?
Most of Chapter 1 is complete with +400 renders, plus a few more to add, so it turned out bigger than I expected. (Prologue had 300+ renders)
Currently I'm working mainly on animations, but I don't know yet how long it will take me to get the result I want.

Happy New Year!

Good health and happiness for everyone!
Let's hope for a more peaceful year.
As for next release, I was able to make some progress during the holidays to compensate for the busier month ahead.
I won't make any ETA, but my personal challenge is to have it ready before February. The biggest unknown being how long it will take me to do the animations.
Well, that's all from me, I wish you the best for this new year, and I hope to see you soon!
