Julia looks harmless, but she'll be a reall pain in the a... for Tanya thorough the whole story

She looks gorgeous in this one! She looked a little ditzy demonic in the first one

Wow, Julia looks much better now.
Now it at least shows that she *is* the superior robot model.

There are some CG in the game featuring some fights between Julia and Tanya that are quite... "interesting". From a scientific point of view of course!

JAck, I just read your blog about BH was your worst selling game next to Vera Blanc. That breaks my heart, since those are the games of yours that I own and enjoyed.

Haha that's why in practice decided to stop writing the games myself. Sometimes is better to realize what your real skills are

However, there's still quite a difference. I mean Vera Blanc were the worst selling games by a LOONG mile. BH sold bad, but not that poor, luckily.

I think it's pretty normal that visual novels sell worse compared to RPGs. It's an extremely niche genre.
But Bionic Heart gaining some attention in Japan is impressive; that's probably the market that is the most difficult to penetrate for western developers, and even more so for indies.

Yes it was pretty cool at those times to see the game in some japanese news sites

Going forward to have a demo for December (writer is going to an event in London to talk about it). This is how I'm notifying the player about the change of the Point Of View in the game, the text uses a computer typing effect with blinking cursor:
