Make it big...?!

 

Summer vacation is almost here!
I'm so tired...

Hello, this is andromeda and I wanna talk about one of my projects I've been developing.

one of Akiba's early designs


Initially, "Super Special Sotokanda Love Story" was supposed to be a short VN made for the (still WIP) Brain Carnival website. It was pretty lighthearted and weird in tone. As the name suggests, it was supposed to be a dating sim, the main character was AKIBA 20XX, and there were supposed to be a bunch of references to the 2000 Series.

As the project went on, it started to stray far away from the initial concept. Honestly, Akiba is not herself at all, she's a completely different character at this point, and the references are few and far between.

And I'm fine with that!

I'm actually really proud of what I've made so far. If I stuck to the initial concept too much, I'm afraid I would've never made something I'm satisfied with.

Unfortunately, I can't talk about the current story too much, since I think going into it completely blind is an important part of the experience.


But what I can talk about, though, is my hopes and fears... and stuff!!!

I can rarely look at something I made and be proud of it, but I really think I got something interesting here, and now I can only hope I don’t screw it up. I really hope others will see it too, and all that my efforts don't go to waste, I really do!

Sometimes I fantasize about this project becoming super popular... but I guess that probably won’t happen...
Oh well. I don’t need a huge fanbase. I just hope that, for once, it won’t be buried in obscurity and forgotten like everything I’ve made before.

Please don't let me down..!!!!
Anyways, goodbye, farewell.
