Morenatsu ~Revisited~ Development Roadmap
8 years ago
General
5/5/18 Update:
Morenatsu ~Revisited~ has now become "Homecoming ~Morenatsu Revisited~"!
Check out the announcement here ---> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27244036/
This means that the below roadmap is no longer relevant. I'm keeping it around for archival purposes though.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1/26/18 Update:
Hey guys! I hope these updates aren't getting annoying!
I'm going to make another change to the roadmap...
By killing it off.
Now, don't panic! The project is still continuing!
However, I realized recently how stressed I've been trying to get everything together for these updates. There's no way I was going to be able to finish Kouya's full route by the deadline I set. With all the changes in my life and an increased workload at my job, I've had less and less free time to devote exclusively to the project. In fact, I came to the realization I haven't had time for myself since I started the project all the way back in June of 2017!
Another thing I realized is that the amount of content I'd be putting out for these updates would greatly exceed what's put out monthly for the paid VNs like Echo and Blackgate. Talking it over with my boyfriend, we've agreed that I need to get things under control or else I'll end up burning out (which is something that almost happened to me after update 0.2).
Here is my plan going forward: I am going to release an update to Revisited every month, but it's not going to be what was previously listed on the roadmap. I am going to rotate route updates between the 6 remaining characters to keep things fresh for me. What this means for you is you might start seeing updates to your favorite characters earlier than you anticipated! On the negative side, please understand that these updates won't be the full routes for these characters either.
Instead of a roadmap, I am going to leave a list of planned features we're going to implement into the project over time. Expect this to be updated as we progress further with the project.
Anyway, this is getting a little long-winded.
Hope you are doing well!

I've had a soft spot for Kounosuke since I followed his path during the test of courage. I guess I've always sort of seen the potential in his character, and I'm trying my best to do it justice this time. It, *ahem*, also helps that he reminds me of a guy I had a crush on...
And yeah, Kounosuke is really adorable and handsome tanuki-boy) The creators did not make enough effort in making his route. I'm sure that you'll make his route really incredible because of your soft spot for him)
P.S. I would like to talk with you more) I hope that we chat in personal messages about the game
good luck with the future updates.
ALSO a curiosity if i may ask... will kounosuke's route have different endings??
If anything you are replacing him with what you seem is more attractive and appealing. Sorry but that's not Shun. And this altogether isn't Morenatsu.
It's honestly kinda scary writing what was otherwise meant to be the "canon" ending if the original team ever got to it.
And HIS project? Yea that's a joke. Let's rip out half the content and replace it with sub par backdrops and even more sub par art.
P.S. I think Shin and Kouya are important too. They waited in "Ramen" for a long time (within two hours!). Only just for Hiroyuki's return. In addition, they are very busy and they do not have much time for someone. I think it means something...*_*
Well, for Shin it's actually a lot more...
In Revisited, though, I kinda changed the dynamic a bit between Kouya and Hiroyuki. If you follow his route in this, he'll tell you the reason he was there early at the end of the camping trip.
Yeah, yeah! I played your game and saw all the moments! Kouya said about his... love! But he tried to tell about it more covertly heheh:3 I got goosebumps as soon as I read it ^^ I already think that the moment at the festival between them will give me a heart attack in a good way)))
I would like to ask a question that has always interested me: What is the sexual orientation of all nine heroes? Some suggest that Koya and Kyouji are bisexuals ... some are not sure what kind of sexual orientation is in Shun and Kounosuke at all
Torahiko - Gay, though he's definitely only interested in you.
Tatsuki - Pansexual (He'll hit on anything with a pulse)
Shun - Gay, but doesn't know how to deal with his feelings.
Shin - Gay, but doesn't want to be.
Juuichi - Closeted without your influence.
Kounosuke - Demisexual (He doesn't have sexual attraction until he's emotionally involved with you)
Kouya - Straight, but has an unexpected crush on you...
Kyouji - Bisexual, though it took him a while to come to terms with it
Soutarou - Unclear. Poor guy has a problem with forming attachments to men, though.
"Juuichi - Closeted without your influence." You mean he's gay but he does not want to show it?
(What about Kenji, another twin?))
"Kouya - Straight, but has an unexpected crush on you..." Hm...this is very unusual. I hope that his heterosexual orientation will not stop him from loving Hiroyuki in the future.
"Soutarou - Unclear. Poor guy has a problem with forming attachments to men, though." I think that Sotaurou's route will be very exciting and...delicate.
And...i guess Torahiko is "Hiroyuki-sexual"))
I have no questions with others, It's pretty understandable)
Juuichi - Yep. He's gay and tries his hardest to not show it. He sees it differently than most, after all.
Kenji - It's unclear, and I took the liberty of filling in his character a bit. I see him as the flirty kind (and he'll flirt with anyone), though just how far he'll go after that is another question.
Kouya - In the original I'm pretty sure he's Bi, but I wanted to bring a little, hmm, "texture" (I guess?) to the cast. He starts out almost hating you, but as you spend time with him you somehow manage to get this straight guy to develop feelings for you...
Maybe he isn't as straight as he thought?
Soutarou - Yep. I know he can come across as a slightly annoying character sometimes, but I'm trying to develop him into something more sympathetic.
Tora - There we go! Hiroyuki-sexual! That's how to describe it!
I am very grateful to you for this scene. In the original version of the game, I could not understand what kind of words Hiroyuki wanted to say...
"In the original I'm pretty sure he's Bi, but I wanted to bring a little, hmm, "texture" (I guess?) to the cast. He starts out almost hating you, but as you spend time with him you somehow manage to get this straight guy to develop feelings for you...
Maybe he isn't as straight as he thought?"
Yes. As far as I understand, he is heterosexual, but he can love the guy (Hiroyuki) whom he knows for a long time. It seems like fluid orientation between "hetero" and "bi". Thanks to Hiroyuki))) Nevertheless, this situation seems very special to me. The heterosexual male (or something like that) fell in love with a guy. His love is really pure. One more question...Did he have experience with girls in the past? (at least in your game). His murmurings when they returned from the beach (in the bus) are very interesting)
"Juuichi - Yep. He's gay and tries his hardest to not show it. He sees it differently than most, after all."
I see. He is not quite sure about this. He's pretty modest. But you know...I thought that the person who asks to have sex with him in a public place is not so modest:D I felt it from the hot springs on the camping trip with Juuichi. It's pity that in your game this scene has not yet appeared. ^^"
"Soutarou - Yep. I know he can come across as a slightly annoying character sometimes, but I'm trying to develop him into something more sympathetic." Thank you for that too. Simba ... oh ... I mean ... Soutarou will be very cool))) But I'm still interested in one question: " + Kyo-Tarou route ending (this is surprisingly hard to write!)" Is it going to be a polyamorous gay relationship? Оо
"Tora - There we go! Hiroyuki-sexual! That's how to describe it!" Exactly) But I'm still surprised at how some people perceive his competition/rivalry with Kouya and Juuichi as something romantic
What about the "worst endings" of the routes of Juuichi and Shin? Will they remain? I'm not sure about them. These endings are so hideous and terrible. Аt best, i would like them to remain only as joke endings. No more.
I wanted to hear it. Thank you very much ^^
What I'm wondering is who is going to be creating the art for Torahiko, Kyouji, and Soutarou's routes?
can't wait to see this game finally revised, the writing from the old version wasn't the best at points.
Roll on Kouya's story I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!
P.S. Have a good rest, Dzahn. Be healthy and happy too!) These are the most important things in REAL life)
<3 <3 <3 <3
It's the best I know so far and a good time to play it again :)
Is there still some guide for the different routes? I remember Juuichis route was
very hard to follow because you had to choose the correct character on days Juuichi wasn't available.
Or is this changed in this version?
So as I understand it, you are rewriting the routes somewhat, I real and truly hope you can do my favorites justice(Kounosuke and Juuichi), although I do also like the comedy in Tatsuki's route a lot.
MINOR SPOILERS PEOPLE, LOOK AWAY
Kounosuke's route deserves a bit more love, in the original, his relationship with Hiroyuki just suddenly develops into that of lovers, I noticed that there are some nuances in some of what goes on in his route(and some of the other routes), and well, it's just speculation on my part, but to me it seems like Kounosuke loved Hiroyuki from the start(even before he moved), as for his motivations to go live in the city, it's because Hiroyuki moved to the city, I also think that's why he's always so fixated on whatever it is he's doing, always busy with whatever, for some master plan to gain enough cash to move to the city.
As for Juuichi, I'm hoping his route could have a bit more nuances alluding to his love for Hiroyuki, being closeted and all...
That said, I'm looking forward to the full release.
Will Torahiko ever find love in his childhood friend?
Also on a side note, I'd like to know more about Kenji(Juuichi's Twin) and his personality.
