Version 0.3 Update!


Sorry for another delayed release. Had some personal issues crop up and this update in particular was a bit of a doozy with some new features being added. On a more positive note, I've finally managed to push out the android release after fixing some incompatibilities!

If you're liking the project so far, feel free to stop by and discuss it on the Discord! I'd also appreciate any support I can get on Patreon!

  • Around 33k+ words in total.
  • 200+ images added.
  • 4 new animations(not yet repeatable).

General Changes

  • Tips to guide players through the main story have been added.
  • Astrid and Nyla's room is now available at night after viewing the required event.
  • Event galleries have been added for each character and the main story.

Another big update to the main story this time around, the script actually ended up being longer than I expected before I was willing to stop at a point where I felt it was comfortable. This time around, I also tried to at least give each girl one event rather than stacking focus on half of the current cast. Putting the main story aside, let me know if you like the pace in which character events are being released.

As the update was already being delayed too much, I haven't gotten around to making the new animations repeatable in the overworld yet. I'll be looking to release a smaller update within a week to throw those in there as well as patching any reported bugs. Thankfully this is also the update with the addition of the event galleries, so I'm hoping that can serve as a decent substitute until then.

Future Updates

Moving forward, the next update will likely expand horizontally rather than vertically. Main story udpates are likely to slow down a bit as I put a little more focus towards character events. I still don't feel like I have an exact formula down when it comes to telling the story. Please let me know what you think works and what doesn't!

Unfortunately, once again I didn't put time towards the addition of new chats in the overworld. That'll be the first thing I put down for the next update to prevent pushing it aside another time.

I also still haven't gotten around to the flavor changes that will be affected by affection and disdain. I'll be doing my best to start implementing them next update. I may also consider revisiting some events and adding such interactions into them.

Also let me know if you'd like any more GUI updates, especially now that the android port has been released. Still tinkering around for what feels most comfortable for most players.
