Shoujo-tachi wa Kouya wo Mezasu (Girls Beyond the Wasteland)

What You Can See in the Storm

I received the BGM and provisional background art from our outside source.

How'd it turn out?

We're about to find out.

Is that the song you were humming that one time?

Don't make me blush.

Let's take a look at the backgrounds!

Whoa!

Yeah, yeah!

Let me know if you have any problems with them.

Every background is just amazing!

This is really great.

Alright! We've got everything we need, so I'm gonna give it my all!

I'll compile a sample and do a trial run!

Put that data up on the server.

R-right.

Now it's really gonna feel like a game!

What're you listening to?

Hey, don't grab it!

Oh, it's Porori.

I like this song.

Yeah.

Goal: 7 KB every day

The lines just aren't coming to me.

I feel like we've been here every day.

We actually have, you know.

We haven't done anything summery at all.

You mean like the beach?

All right, the beach!

Kersplash!

Splash, splash!

That's not how it is! Splash, splash!

Summer's all about events! Splash, splash!

Not playing, but fighting!

Fighting?

She's talking about the big three-day otaku event in the city.

We'll be going to collect information.

I'm gonna tag along, too!

I don't mind, but will it get in the way of our work?

If there's a book she wants...

I'm fine, I'll just ask my friend to get it.

I'll be busy getting info, anyway!

I'm so bored.

No, that's not it...

"She's no murderer, she's just a perv!"

Hey, don't look over my shoulder all of a sudden!

I don't have anything else to do!

'Cause the script ain't done yet!

C'mon! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

Hey! You just wanna have fun, don't you?! C'mon! C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

All done!

I got the first bit of code all put together!

I uploaded it to the shared folder, so go play with it!

Hurry it up, Bunta!

Don't rush me!

Big Bro Ranch

The title screen's got homos on it!

Yeah, I made that placeholder.

I'll switch it out later.

The rest of it's all using the game materials.

Whoa, it's really a game!

Akkina, you're awesome!

Keep layin' that praise on me!

This is what's called 'stage direction', right?

That's right!

I also put the background changes into the engine.

It's so cute!

Let's see,

"No! A whole new universe has been created?!"

"Eros, you must win over Thanatos!"

That's sure embarrassing.

Oh, shut it! Pipe down and watch!

Wow, it's really a game now!

Whaddya think, Mister Writer?

Um, huh?

That's weird.

What's up?

No, well, the script's...

How do I put it...

It's weird.

What's weird about it?

Here it ended with the protagonist screaming out, but it's different.

Didn't you change it yourself?

I didn't!

There's lots of other stuff.

It feels kinda off...

It's just weird.

Hmm, the writer's work has been changed without their knowledge!

It must be a virus!

I don't think so.

This is something a person did.

Ando, why did you change it?

Wait, really?

Why?

'Cause this way's better!

Ando-san, how much did you change?

I wasn't keeping track.

I fixed some misspellings, then some phrases.

Honestly, I was all over the place.

Ando-san, that's just...

But it's fine!

It's definitely better this way!

I'll announce the judgment.

Ando is guilty!

The programmer should not change the script!

Hey, why's that a rule?!

As a programmer, it's easy for me to find errors,

so it only makes sense that I fix them!

What if they're intentional misspellings?

What?

It's the writer who gets judged on the script...

Even if someone else goes in and changes things later.

Everyone has their praise, of course, but we all have our criticisms of the script.

But I forbid you from changing it without permission!

Alright, I got it.

Alright, everyone, let's get back to work.

We have to make up for the time we've lost.

R-right.

I've gotta pick up the pace starting tomorrow.

You're still sticking around, Yuki?

Y-yeah!

I've been feeling really good today,

so I want to keep going a little more.

What about you, Kuroda-san?

I'm staying. There's still a lot I have to do.

Good work today.

Alright, later.

U-um, I'm actually going to head out, too!

Good work. See you tomorrow.

H-hey, Senpai!

Umm!

Hey, can I ask you something?

I'm sorry!

Ando-san!

I heard you messed around with Yuki's art, too!

I did, so what?

There weren't enough differences between the expressions for me to direct,

so I added a few of my own.

What's wrong with that?

I heard that Yuki had to fix the new ones you made.

And now she's behind on the other work she had to do.

She said she could handle it!

You know Yuki's the kind of person who'd take it on regardless, right?

And you've added way too many new expressions!

You had parts where each line had their own expression!

Even I know that's doomed to fail!

The quickest way to make a character better is to give them more expressions.

You thought it was cute, didn't you?

But it's gone way too far!

You should think about Yuki's workload and--

I'm back!

I saw a whole new world!

Huh?

What's up?

Ando.

You are changing too many things to fit your whims.

I told you, we talked it over.

You caused Yuki to overflow and ask Hojo-kun for help.

That must mean you coerced her into--

Look, Torry said she'd do it!

Calm down, calm down...

You're doing so many things on your own, but what of your own work?

Did you finish our homepage yet?

Uh, well!

I haven't really started it yet!

What?!

No way, you're kidding, right?

You haven't done anything?

Nope, nothin'!

Hold on, hold on!

We're already a week behind on the release schedule!

How far are you, percent-wise?

Exactly zero!

Huh?

Wow.

Just to confirm, you were the one who wanted to do it, right?

Yeah, I said I did.

But I was so focused on the script I couldn't get it done!

I had to make another picture for the website, too...

Oh, that?

Yeah, I haven't touched it.

You can't do that, Ando-san.

We trusted you to get it done.

Like I said, I'm sorry.

Cut it out already!

Is that the kind of person you are, Teruha Ando?
