v1.0 Progress Log 8

Progress log here! Hopefully the last one before release.

For starters, the Japanese translation. As of right now, the translation is done all the way up to level 6. The epilogue level is being translated, and it should be done in just a few more days. There is also a few minor things that will need to be translated, such as the descriptions of the memories, NPC dialogue, etc. I also still need to go through the whole thing and give a good check and make sure that the original atmosphere is kept as intact as possible through the translation.

All in all, the translation is about 75% done. It will absolutely be done in time.

Part of the translation process was compiling all of the text into a single file for the sake of making life easier for the translator, and there were a couple of additional things that came out of this step. On one hand there were quite a few typos that were spotted by software during the compiling, so expect even less typos. Another thing that came out of this was an accurate word count for the game.

The length of all of the main events combined is 145,000 words. A quick search online says that the average length of a novel is roughly 90,000 words. Yeah, I think I may have gone a bit overboard...

I have been polishing the game in various areas that needed some minor things. An event were Hana's panties fall, I added a physical object of it to the world for immersion purposes. Some CGs in which Hana's body would logically be wet did not have waterdrop overlays to show Hana being wet. The overlays for them have been made and added. During the level 3 pool events, Hana discovers the fun thing about the white swimsuit during both the swimming, and lifeguard event chains. It didn't make sense for her to discover it twice, so I added a small minor addition to how those events play in the case that you have already seen either of the event chains. The bathhouse and clothing shop buildings at the town were made from scratch and revamped. There had been some visual glitches with the different quality settings, so I've been tweaking them and fixing them. Minor adjustments like these have been taking place.

Anyhow, aside from the translation, the other main thing is the CGs. All of the main event CGs are complete, which means that all of those CGs that require many expressions, outfits, bodies, and so on are done. Right now the main thing that is left are 4 minor CGs for the epilogue which are mostly static, so they should be done fairly fast.

There are also a few small things being made for the product page and such, but I'll be leaving that for the next post. So long as everything goes well, the next post will be a pre release post instead of a progress log.

Quick question before ending the log, are there any specific sites that you would like to see the game sold at?

That'll be it for now. Thank you for supporting the development of Hana's Exposure!

Hmm... forgot to mention this, but this is also the last time I'll be calling the game as such. The game will release under a new name for it's final release.
