SEARCH FOR A SECONDARY LAPTOP...
This week, I spent a whole lot time researching on the new laptop I'm gonna buy as secondary laptop mainly because my main laptop has been kinda wonky lately (random BSOD out of nowhere, overheating issue, etc) + my small laptop got sent to repair (and is still not bad yet, bad service center >:(). I want to send this main laptop for repair as well, BUT I can't work without any laptop, hence why I need another one.

I had intended to buy the Lenovo Yoga 520 / flex 5 at first but then changed my mind and became interested in the Thinkpad X1 Yoga instead because thinkpads are known to be sturdier. However, price for that particular laptop is very very expensive x"D (like $1400). My stingy self can't be bothered to buy that (money is better spent on commissioning naughty 18+ artwork for Seiyuu Danshi>:D)... so I browsed through the net and found an old laptop that fits my need... which is a used X230 Tablet! It has and old Wacom EMR digitizer which performs pretty well for editing CG sketches to my artists, decent battery life (4+ hours), really nice keyboard to type on, sturdy built, and best of all... it's really cheap and doesn't hurt my wallet  I only spent about $250 on it (i5 Ivy Bridge, RAM 8GB DDR3, and 500GB HDD), and I got one with a pretty much pristine condition (the ex-owner didn't use it much, I guess)... so yeah, pretty happy with my purchase! Gonna put an SSD into it to make it perform even better =)

Anyway, now that I've got a decently portable laptop to write again, I need to pick up the pace for writing again as there was no writing progress at all this week ~_~ (it's a pain to write with a bulky laptop that can't live without being plugged to AC charger)

FINISHED PHONING IMAGES + THEIR EXPRESSIONS
Because I just wasn't in the mood for writing... I made progress in the art area instead C:
I got the finished phoning images from my artist, and I made the expressions for all the characters (yeah, talking with someone isn't as boring again~~)
Several of their expressions~~

REMAKING PHONING SCENE GUI
How it currently looks with the new phoning images:

OUTLINE FOR AFTER LOVERS SCENE
Finished writing the outline for Toru's after lovers scene (but was just not in the mood to continue writing ~_~), will start writing Toru's scenes after this! >:(
Also finished making the outline for "calling events" and decided that calling events are date-based instead of RP point-based (For example, event will be triggered on the day before training camp instead of when you get closer to a guy). The reason for this change is to make it not overlap with the "spending time events".

That's it for this week's update ^^;
A very unproductive week due to my stupid overheating laptop >:( (I hope I can get more productive with this new purchase!)
