A Huge Thanks! :D

Hi guys!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has posted kind comments about our first release of “Melody” here, and various pages and forums outside of my Patreon wall. 

To be honest, my team and I had no idea how this game would be received. 

We were probably more expecting it to not go so well, given the high expectations set upon us after the overwhelming success of my previous game. 

I understand that this game won’t be for everyone, I know that everyone has their own tastes.

It’s an impossible task to put out a game that every single person who plays it will be totally satisfied with it.  I’m just grateful that my team and I can keep making games for you guys (and girls), and your support as I always say, is what’s keeps us inspired to keep working on them. 

In total, we had about six weeks to come up with a game idea that my team and I were happy with, a game title, character designs, and most importantly, who was going to play that all important role of the female lead, Melody. 

Once we knew that it was going to be a music-themed game, the name Melody seemed to fit really early on, and after that, we never considered changing it from that point. 

We were mindful of making this particular visual novel, as different to the previous one as possible. Although we did keep some similar elements that helped make the game that preceded Melody, so popular. 

e.g. The save system, naming the save slots, the menu bar

There are still some things to tweak to make the game better, but we'll get there eventually :) 

It’s a huge relief to see that the vast majority of you enjoyed playing this very first version,and we will do our very best to stick to that high standard that we have set for ourselves. 

The hope is that we can evolve with our ideas and features in upcoming versions of the game. 

As always, please post up any ideas you might have for scene locations, mini-game ideas, and even instruments that you might like to teach Melody how to play? (the cello, anyone?)

Final words!

So that’s it for now. If you weren’t aware already, v0.0.2 of “Melody” will be released on Saturday, April 28th. 

For my $1 pledges, v0.0.1 will be available to download a few days before v0.0.2 is released, as was the norm with my previous game. 

Many thanks as always,
