Studio Rally

Hello readers!

The new Why Not Both? demo is now available on itch.io. This offers a sneak peek of what Version 1.1 will look like when it releases later this year.

This demo includes full voice acting, and several scenes now allow readers to choose which character narrates the scene.

Our voice actors are working hard to complete the remaining lines, so we appreciate your patience while development continues.

This showcase features Rio, voiced by Bri Corsello, Jen, voiced by Sian Luxford, and Aspen, voiced by Shamariah Neil. This video features a scene in the upcoming fully voice-acted demo of WNB?, which will be available on itch.io soon.

Hello readers!

We wanted to share an update on what we’ve been working on as Why Not Both? approaches its first anniversary. As mentioned previously, we’re planning to release Version 1.1, which will include the following new features:

Full Voice Acting: Every scene will be fully voiced by our seven main actors, plus a few others playing smaller roles.

New Epilogue: A brand-new three-scene epilogue will be added to the Extras menu once the main story has been completed.

Multi-narration Choices: 20 of the original 50 scenes will begin with a ‘Select Your Narrator’ screen, allowing readers to choose which character’s perspective they want to experience the scene through.

Presentation Change: Additional camera movement will be added across most scenes for more cinematic impact, along with some other visual effects. More Save Slots: 8 new save slots will be added.

NSFW Content Restructure: All NSFW content will be removed from the base novel. It will be available separately as a free DLC.

Other Features: We will be adding several small enhancements, including a permille progress tracker and new extras.

The expected release date for Version 1.1 is by the end of the year. We’re primarily waiting for the voice actors to work their magic, which takes time, but we want to make sure we get it right rather than rush the process.

Hello everyone!

Despite recent setbacks, we’re still moving forward with our next big goal: full voice acting for Why Not Both?! 🎙️ This step requires resources we originally hoped to acquire through our Kickstarter. Although that didn’t go as planned, you can still visit our Ko-Fi page to support us: 👉 https://ko-fi.com/vnstudiorally

Every contribution goes directly toward compensating our incredibly talented voice actors who bring our characters to life.

This showcase features Aspen, voiced by Shamariah Nail, and Mina, voiced by M.K.Hewitt. These two talented voice actors do a wonderful job capturing the playful dynamic between the characters.

Why Not Both? features music by Two Scents, a talented chillhop artist. Be sure to follow him on Instagram!

Aspen has no idea what she’s talking about when it comes to sports.

Aspen Hoffman, the last of our narrators, is intelligent and kind. Like all of our characters, she has her own flaws that are explored throughout the Why Not Both? story.
