August Update

Hello,

Here is a monthly update. First of all, we're sorry for the delay of the new build. That build includes rework of the relationship mechanic that will require restarting the game, so we want to make sure it works perfectly before we roll it out. The thing is that it requires adding new triggers in old dialogues, and at this point, we have lots of dialogues, and most of them have several routes. That makes testing them quite a big task. We kept finding new bugs, so instead of risking the buggy release, we decided to hire extra testers to do thorough testing before releasing it. Because of that, we decided to skip one update and bundle it with the update on the 10th, which is around the corner already.

In the update on the 10th, we will add:

New animations for the following scenes:

Chloe x Alex – Movie Night

Kurt x Alex – Locker room

Emily x Alex – Fitting room

Nova x Sunsets – Remaining scenes

The following dialogues will receive missing branches:

Oliver x Alex – Dinner

Kurt x Alex – Locker Room

Emily x Alex – Paizuri

Week 3 – Tuesday standard events (Breakfast, Work, and Lunch)
