(Art by Jay Qwerty)

Hey everyone!

I was going through some of my old projects, and even replayed The Only One Girl { First Quarter } for the first time in awhile. I must say it was an enjoyable experience that made me grin more than I expected and even melt at many scenes, but also cringe at some of the melodrama haha. Even so, as I've stated many times, this game still holds a special place in my heart despite having to be shelved. And there's a lot I would love to share about what could have been.

On the game's 5 year anniversary, I had mentioned a possibility of releasing a special PDF containing all the game's art and planned scenarios. Well, while I may not be able to make it extremely detailed like I had in my head, I think releasing an Art of The Only One Girl would suffice. It would showcase all of the game's artwork, including the in-game CG, promo art, chibi art, CG art that was for the game's full version, and all the fanart we've ever received thus far. With full credits, of course. I can talk about the context for each scene of never before seen CG art, what route it was meant for, etc.  The PDF would get its own Itch page, and mind you will be very spoiler heavy, especially talking about what could have been.  But I think it would be fun to share all this wonderful art for the game to you all so it doesn't go to waste. And yes, of course the PDF will be free just like the game. 

There is no release date thus far on this PDF as things IRL have been exhausting and all my game dev has come to a halt for now minus the Since When Did I Have a Combat Butler?! fandisc which is set to begin development next year for its 5th anniversary.  But I'm aiming either around Christmas or early 2025. If the artbook is received well, I might consider releasing other goodies such as old audio tests and script snippets.

Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed this game over the years. I smile every time I see the occasional comment of someone who stumbled upon this silly little game and enjoyed it.
