September Update

9/21/2017

15 Comments

 
Hey everyone, some important news today.

After much deliberation, we came to the unfortunate decision of parting with Akira's writer, NuggetMelonSurpreme, along with two of our editors due to creative differences. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

Thankfully, we were fortunate enough to get into contact with ReddlyB, a marvelous writer who's very familiar with visual novel development. He'll be helping us with Akira's route, and we've recently filled him in on the direction of the project.

Speaking of the routes, we're nearing completion of the first arc for Airi and Elizabeth (hopefully by the beginning of October). Akira's would naturally need to be rewritten, and Misaki's a little less than half complete due to other factors. As usual, progress is varied, but that's to be expected in a project as large as this. Rest assured, we're making an effort to read each other's drafts no matter where we are to avoid inconsistencies.

Lately, Dizzy has been buried in school work, but should be done with Misaki and Elizabeth's designs some time this month. Elphaze has also been sharing draft designs in the art chat for some of the side characters. You may recognize this dashing man from Inciting Incident. He'll play a more prominent role in the next part.

Eufonie, our background artist, had to find a replacement for his six-year-old hard drive after it ended up kicking the bucket, so his progress was temporarily hampered as a result. He should be getting back into the swing of things soon, though.

Concerning the voice acting for Inciting Incident, we're still aiming to have it released by the middle of 2018. John and the others have been working hard to limit delays.

Some time ago, we had made a VA test build for Day 1. It came out fantastic, though Breezee is sorting out a few minor leveling and compression issues, which should be a cinch for him. The recordings for Day 2 are finished, and Day 3 is also nearing completion. The scripts for Days 4 & 5 have been fully edited for the voice actors and recording sessions for those days should start in two weeks or so. In summary: WE'RE GETTING THERE, FOLKS.

The composers have been mixing a few drafts for the soundtrack. I'll be sure to post some of them here for your ear holes once they're finalized.

So sorry this post came out later than intended, but generally these progress updates should come out every two months at the latest. We'd like to assure those of you supporting Lucid9 that we haven't dropped the project—and even if that were the case, we'd make an announcement rather than disappearing into obscurity. 

In other news, we're planning to record another podcast next month. We have some potential guests in mind, but if you'd like to see anyone in particular or would like us to discuss a certain topic, be sure to let us know!

Until next time!

This is one slow train through. But the scenery during the journey is the fantastic part of this journey. I wish the people in charge of the Lucid9 all the best!

Sad that your old writer and editors left. Still I hope the best for all of you. Cannot wait to play the next part of lucid.

Hm... So Akira's now gonna be made with different thoughts in mind... I hope she's not gonna be different to the point of unrecognizing her...
Dashing man? Does not look so dashing to me... He's more like that police man from the street, er... whatever.
I'd say Yama's hair should be darker (or do you just illuminate him in a way, that it looks like afterlife already? :p
Oh dear, I really shouldn't have used that best girl pool - It feels like I'm more like a troll already... I hope Natsuki's gonna get some attention too...

I'm surprised you guys haven't put this game up on Patreon, LoveinSpace Studios another indie visual novel gaming company did that with their game Starrider on patreon and it was a resounding success, they got some funding during the devolopment and then managed to finish up the game for sale on steam. If you haven't already considered this I would recommend it. I would certainly give you a few dollars for it.

I fell in love with this story, it has been a while since I really liked a Protagonist like I like Yama.

I really hope to see more of this story soon.
Best of luck!

It's been 3 months now, kinda worries me as it's not the beginning of the school year anymore and production is probably slower if not halted.

hope to see an update soon

Hey there, apologies for the lack of news. Progress is never really halted, so fret naught. The radio silence is partly due to PR management, actually. There's only so much we can talk about concerning development without spoiling or sounding monotonous, so we're currently coming up with other approaches that are (hopefully) more interesting.

Cant wait for this to come out. Played the previous game earlier this year and was absolutely absorbed in the outcome and was irking for more, or something of the same caliber.
