Devlog #3

Heya guys.

How's it goin'? I'm just dropping by to give all of you here an update on the game. I'm not sure how frequent the dev logs are supposed to be or how frequently you'd like to be updated on the status, so let me know. Weekly? Bi-Weekly? Whenever I want? I'm all ears. I've already announced in the previous progress report what I plan to add, but let me post it here too so everybody can see. Below are a couple features I'm planning to implement in the game:

• Named saves
• Character screen/bio as well as to show the current points and relationship you have with the girls.
• A better main menu (animated)
• Scene gallery

Also, fix every typo and grammar error in Chapter 1. If there are any more features you'd like to see aside from the ones above, let me know. I'm open to ideas. (both on Discord and here).

With that out of the way, next is the progress status of Chapter 2 so far:

• 410 renders
• 8 animations
• 2.3K lines of code

As soon as I released the first chapter, I immediately jumped to work on chapter 2. And in case you guys think I'm going to burn out at this pace, I assure you I won't. To be honest, I didn't even think I'd get this much supporters this quick considering it's only been a month and a half since the game released. I'm enjoying every minute of this, and this is my way of giving back.

I've just finished the first "spicy scene" for this chapter (guess who) and just need to add a few more words to the script. After that, I can say the progress is pretty much 30% done. I'm really excited for you guys to see it. The loop animations are no less than 30 seconds, and one of them even lasts an entire minute before it loops again. I hope you'll all enjoy it once it's public.

For progress or status, I prefer to check them out as major scenes rather than percentages. Chapter 2 will consist of four major scenes. This checks out one of them, so I'll be working on three more.

My decision on how I'd like to release Chapter 2 is that I'd like to release it as a whole and not just the first part of it. But at the same time, I want to release something this year, so I'm challenging myself to finish it before the year ends. So I've decided that, in case I can't finish the entire chapter before 2025, I'll release the first half first. Then you just need to wait just a little more for the second half.

Lastly, I was able to finally upgrade my PC (I was using a toaster before). Now I can further improve the graphics and renders. I think it's looking a lot smoother compared to the previous chapter, right? (See the image) ... Right..?

PS. Here in itch.io, apologies if I updated a game without posting a devlog. I didn't realize it notifies you guys when I do that. I'm still in the middle of figuring out everything, but I'll make sure to post an update like this next time when I update the game so you know what changes I made. In case you want to know, the update was just a bugfix to fix an issue for android uses where the text messages from the MC isn't showing up.

That is all for now. Thank you for reading and for your support. I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!
