is this still going?

Yes it is on a slow pace.

Update and art dump. All of the art is unrelated to the official game except the 3rd character design. Please pay no mind in them ^^;

I’ve finished writing the official ending to the story, and I’m working on Rek’s ending. I’m thinking of splitting chap 14 (epilogue) into another chapter depending on the word count.

I was also thinking of adding more choices in between chap13 as it seems too dull and flat with the storyline only. I’m looking forward to writing Sheol’s path, because it’s a stand alone with no connection to any of the other character's paths.

The bad news is, I am having problem with the background artist and composer.

The composer has left so I am finding a new composer when the writing is complete. As for the background artist, I’m still not certain. There are a lot of incomplete backgrounds. He’s suffering from sickness and I am forced to get a new background artist if he can no longer work. The best I can do is wish for his recovery.

I will also be reworking on the GUI after working on the Hocus Pocus Prince GUI. I’ve learn a lot from it and plan to add more features into the Waxwing GUI.

That’s all for the update this time!

Just wondering, but is the game for free? If it is free, what kind type of file is it?(rar, zip, exe, other file types.)

Hello, this is a commercial game thus it’s not free. It should be in exe file.

Um, sorry if this question has been answered before but are the character paths individual or is it like one huge common story with variations? It looks like all chapters are unique to the character but I wasn’t sure. :c

Hi, it depends on the characters. Most character have connected chapters at starting and they split off their own route later on. 2 characters (Rek and Recor) will have the most connected path but they have scene of their own.

BL?

What do you people think about BL content in a certain obtainable character? As I write, my proofreaders told me his path seemed to have hints of BL. There won’t be any action, but it was just some of his slight thoughts and hints of BL towards another person, and I’m afraid players might be disturbed by it.

Update

I finally finished chap13 for Rek. It chains down to 3 endings and I’m going to write his epilogue (chap14) soon. Chapter 13 was a pain due to the choice leading to a few long chains in preparation for the ending. I’m finally done with it! It’s around 16k words. Total word count for all path is 265k words so far.

Once I’m done with Rek I’ll move onto Recor since his path follows the main story as well. Recor’s path is done up to chapter 11 but if I follow the main story path it shouldn’t take me as long as Rek’s path to complete it. (Unless I suddenly go crazy and add even more stuff for him.)

I’m quite eager to continue Shin(chap8) and Taga’s(chap10) path, but they have a different storyline after breaking from the mid main story. While for Sheol, it’s a completely different path that I have to rewrite the whole story specially for him so I’ll work on him last. T_T

Hello guys! Update!

I’m so sorry for not updating this blog for a while. Honestly, I haven’t been writing much for the past few months as I had huge idea block and was struggling with the fighting scenes at the ending chapter.

The good news is I’m still working on it and is half way through the fighting scene already. Hopefully I’ll be able to complete it within this month and go to the epilogue(Rek ver) soon.

[w-wing]

W-wait.. There’s NOT going to be a Mac Version and only a PC ver? :c

There will be Mac version ^^

Is it for itunes pc or psp if any of the others please make it where i can buy em on amazon OTOME GAMERS RULE!

Hi, thanks for your question.

It's going to be for PC. Definitely not PSP but I might consider putting it on anroid and apple store.

Hello everyone. It has been some time since I've last updated. Firstly, I'd like to thank people who are still following and looking forward for the game's release. Honestly speaking, Waxwing is still no where near ready to be released, but I'm still working on it steadily. I've had some idea block which made put me on hiatus on and off for a month and it has caused a slow down on the progression of the game. The good news is I've gotten over it and I'm almost finished with Rek's path! I'll probably resume Recor's path after that since his is the second closest to completing. As for the graphics such as character sprites and CGs, I'll only be starting on them when I'm finished with writing the story for most of the characters. Background shown above are part of the Lucia country that players will explore. Players will not be stuck in the castle, instead travel to various countries with different settings. That's it for important updates. On a side note, I noticed some people are still actively asking question on waxwing ask.fm http://ask.fm/otomewing I appreciate your support and I'll be sure to answer those questions. However, please refrain from asking unrelated questions including fan mail to the characters. I'll also not reply to fan mail as the characters (and I) wouldn't know how to reply to them.

Regarding the "obtainable characters", obtainable basically means you can "obtain" their routes. I don’t think it means they have to be love interests. However, if you would have written "romanceable" or something — that’s another matter.

As stated.

[w-wing]

How’s the game going? Anymore progress? :)

Hello! I’m writing the last chapter of Rek. As for background we have 81 backgrounds (including variation) done while music we have 17 bgm done. I’ll post up some bg and music samples soon! Please look forward to it!

[w-wing]

Which are the two guys with the romantic path? *--* Please tell me they are Taga and Rek! by the way I've just seen all about your game and it's awesome! you have all my support! I'll definitely buy it ^w^

I would like everyone to find out who has romantic path through the storyline instead of revealing it right now as it’ll be a spoiler. ^^

[w-wing]

Hi! the game sounds interesting! Just a suggestion. If only two characters have a romantic path you shouldn't put the other as "Obtainable" since they won't be obtainable lol.

Hello! I placed the characters as obtainable as I don’t know what else to replace the term. Perhaps I should change it to something else if you have any suggestions.

[w-wing]

Hi, I noticed some people being disappointed by the commercial thingy. I'm wondering, have you ever considered doing a Kickstarter? I've seen many do that and they can still get back the money for the game and make it free for anyone who can't afford it (Seduce Me is an otome game and reached the goal $4035 recently, which is good).

Hello! This issue has been discussed and suggested a few times. I might be able to release waxwing for free though fundraising, but I’m afraid it will affect my future commercial project. People expect commercial games to be higher quality than a freeware, and might not be happy if the commercial game I make is the same quality as my freeware. I’m not sure what commercial game I’m to make if waxwing which I’m currently making should be a freeware. (with all the quality art, bg, music, voice and so on)

[w-wing]

Um, maybe I wasn't very observant, but I kinda thought Waxwing was free... Was I wrong this whole time? :C

Hello! It was meant to be free but as times passed I thought of brushing up the quality, meaning having original art, music and voice.

It cost quite a bit to pay for the work force which is the reason why I cannot make it free anymore.
