Any new news regarding The Flower Shop 2 Pack Leader? :?:
jack1974
No, sorry. After lots of "false announcements", I'm not going to talk about it anymore until it's *really* finished :)

BTW you can call me Jack :lol: "pack leader" sounds weird!
MarSel
Jack it is then :)

True must be hard planning and making all these games but I can imagine a lot of fun too.

If you want any ideas or anything like that let me know :D I'm a writer in training don't ya know haha

Well when I have the time which ain't that much lately :/
jack1974
Yes, is fun and I love to do them, but indeed is much more work than most people think. Making all the various choices, the branches of the plot, and so on... lots of work :)
MarSel
Sounds wonderful though. When I wrote my book the amount of plot branches I could have put in.... If only "..." had not died or "---" choose to say the words "..." had longed to hear, instead of looking at "___"

The possibilities are endless :)
jack1974
I agree. Since I discovered the old "choose your own adventure" books when was a teenager... ehm a bit ashamed to say but...I didn't read a normal book anymore :)
MarSel
Lol well It's better if you can change the ending to your liking so I see your thinking! That's what I love about writing your in control and you make the events unfold good and bad! I love it :)

I used to always, when I read a book with a bad ending, write my own so I was happy with it lol

why has flower shop 2 been delayed so long?
jack1974
The writer Ayu had some health issues unfortunately (she had a car crash in June). I decided not to push her to finish the game, though it's basically almost done!
MarSel
Oh my! I hope she is ok? Wish her a speedy recovery!
jack1974
Yes she's ok but until august had still pain breathing :| so, not really the ideal condition to work, and because of that I told her that I wouldn't make any more pressure for that game. However, it really should be out in october :D

(last famous words lol)
MarSel
Famous last words indeed! Any news on the game? How is Ayu now?
jack1974
Well, this time wasn't off by much! She is better and she wrote an extra bonus scene to compensate for the delay, which the artist is going to illustrate with chibis (is really a fun/cool scene). Once that is done, there's only need of some proofread and then IS DONE!!! 8) November looks really will be it.
MarSel
That is the best news I have heard in ages! :)
jack1974
Thanks :D Having played the whole game already (the story was finished back in August, but it had several typos/wrong sprites expressions and other minor but annoying things) I am really eager to publish it, since I believe is even better than the first game. Lots of touching and funny moments 8)
MarSel
Good Good that's what I like to hear :) I loved the first game, one of the best VN I have ever played with gardening thrown in :D
jack1974
In this one there is gardening but is shorter than the first, since many people complained saying that replaying every time to get a different ending was a bit too tedious. So it's more visual novel than the first game (more story and less farming sim) but I think the story is even better! :)
MarSel
Cannot wait to get my hands on it :)
jack1974
For now enjoy the main menu of the game:

Yes I'm working on it right now. Currently aiming at pre-order by end of month, and final release sometimes in December! :o
MarSel
That's great! I was wondering what ending from FS1 is the "canon" ending? when you date a certain girl or the alone ending?
