I've been following the progress of this VN ever since its thread on the KS forums back in 2012, and I've had my share of qualms about the plot, but I eventually decided to give it a try, since KS wasn't your usual VN, and holy hell did I feel (the Katawa Dick).
You guys have come so far in these almost three years, and I must commend you for not dropping out, something which is sadly common in ambitious projects.
Now, there's something I must say about the versions of the opening screen and the UI. The stars during the first stages irked me, mainly because there were a set of stars above in the skies, and a different one reflected in the water and they seemed too unrealistic. Glad you changed that. I BETTER SEE THOSE SHINING STARS ABOVE APPEAR AFTER COMPLETING A ROUTE BECAUSE THAT'S SYMBOLIC AS FUCK AND I LOVE IT.
The logo feels like some sort of Mexican telenovela and that makes me cringe, something cleaner would work, not too over-the-top.
The music is comfy as hell, and I have no issues with it, it's calm and soothing, though I feel some melancholy as well; if that's the feeling you went for, you nailed it.
The backgrounds are UNF. Props to the people who made it.
Regarding the art, not really fond of seeing how the artstyle changes between Jeanne, Natasha and Isolda. I love the artstyle of both Jeanne and Natasha but not so much when it comes to Isolda's. I can't complain, though, because the artists are still excellent, and it's much cleaner than Katawa Shoujo.
The UI is neat, short and sweet. It doesn't feel like it will get in the way in game, and the opening sequence is excellent.
With that all said, I can't wait for the game to come out (hopefully before the end of the decade) soon. Keep up the excellent work, everyone (And I hope that I can help you guys translate the game in Spanish one day with other people that might be interested in it as well).
