It's been quite awhile since I've made an update about O1G, hasn't it? 

First off, as I mentioned in the previous update, the game will still be majorly scaled back, but that final update is coming. I've also considered releasing the group route alone as planned (not concrete on that yet), and that one will only be partially voiced (so usage of snippets here and there, plus First Quarter lets you now how they all sound so you can hear it in your head anyway).  Unfortunately, 3 VAs will be unable to reprise their roles. I hadn't heard from them in awhile, so I hope they are all OK and are having a happy new year. Despite this setback, I've talked to a couple of people who've agreed to be fill-in roles (so the original voices will still be intact, but later in the point the VAs change will be indicated in credits). I made sure to find voices very similar, I just have to find 1 more and we're all set.

There will be TWO UPDATES to O1G that will come. First will be the "teaser" update. This update is a small extension, adding an after credits scene to each and every route as a sort of "sneak peak" as to what's to come. In the final update, Chapter 3 will be completed (as only half of it is in the game) and most of Chapter 4 as well. After that, this game will be marked off as "complete". If the group route is ever released standalone, it will get its own game page.

Also, aside from extending the story, I'll be introducing some new modes! I've already told you about "Kinetic Mode", which will use Ren'Py random to make choices for you, so you have no idea what route or ending you'll get when playing. This can be turned on and off at will in the Omake menu. I will also be adding a "Version Mode". In the final build, you'll be able to choose to play the game in its original state (the current build), the teaser state (with after credit scenes), or the final state (when the game is marked off complete). There will of course be more CGs, and a lot more fanart! I'd still love to put yours in, so >click here< to see how! 

And, expect a standalone Christmas scene to be uploaded very soon as a bonus. There was a scene I wrote originally on Henry's route where Sebby receives Christmas gifts from everyone. Easily can work for the group route honestly with some adjustments. Despite these gifts being references later in the game, I feel like the scene just doesn't quite fit anywhere, so I'll be releasing it by itself. In fact, this scene will be coming out before O1G's update, and you'll get to hear a couple of the new voices who will being filling in ^^

LASTLY, POSSIBLE CONTEST!

How would you guys feel about having a fanfiction contest for The Only One Girl? I won't start it unless I have some interest. It's been something I've wanted to do for awhile now, more details if you guys are on board with this, but the winning stories will be made into a visual novel as non-canon episodes! I'll release a "Fan Edition" with the winning stories, and (I can't promise this but we'll see) hopefully get it voiced by our cast to feel more authentic. I'm thinking of choosing about 3 winners, and may include some honorable mentions as well. So what do you think? If I started this contest, would you consider entering it? Let me know in the comments!

I want to thank you guys for all your patience. Again, I am sorry the project has been majorly scaled back like this, but I wanted to give { First Quarter } a more satisfying update, and gift you guys with that Fan Edition if the contest goes through. This game had been a lot of fun to work on, and thank you for all the daily downloads it receives! I hope you enjoy what we have in store for updates and bonus scenes ^^
