Stuff from the November issue of G's Magazine:
- Itaru was thinking up the game during her free time during Tomoyo After's development.
- The one who suggested Tanaka Romeo was Itaru, because she became a fan of his after reading Cross Channel. Ryukishi was suggested by the Visual Arts director and talks happened in autumn 07.
- The one in charge of the main framework of the scenario is Tanaka.
- The theme of the scenario is 'rewriting'. It's pretty much a school story.
- There's lots of scenes in the first half with multiple characters interacing on screen with one another, enjoying themselves. The second half is more serious, with both emotional moments and mystery elements.
- The school uniform is a pretty old design, so during events sales people at Itaru's circle booth have actually worn it before.
- There are a lot of trees involved in the setting, enough that whoever's in charge of the backgrounds is going to be pretty busy.
- Tonogawa
really likes the Girls Work (Type Moon new title) backgrounds.
- There's been no developments on the musical front whatsoever.
- Maeda was the one who added NaGa to the staff.
- They're currently planning a Key 10th Year Anniversary event for next year.
And some character and setting information:
- Set in Kazamatsuri, the city flourishing with trees and flowers. Surrounded by them in the same way many places are surrounded by buildings. While it's something of a modern city, it has a somehow nostalgic atmosphere.
- The first heroine, the one revealed a few months back, is called Kotori. Judging by her being portrayed first she seems to be a/the character at the centre of the story.
- The second heroine doesn't have a name, but is on the cover of the magazine. Judging by her facial expression and the way she's gripping her first tightly she seems to be strong willed. Wears a different jacket from Kotori, so she might be a student from a different school?
- Though she doesn't have a name yet, it seems likely she 'holds the key to the story'?
- The third heroine doesn't have a name either. She wears a blue ribbon, has long hair, and both her smile and actions give a sense of confidence and elegance. Wears the same uniform as Kotori.
