Progress Update [20 September 2024]
Added 2024-09-20 08:00:13 +0000 UTC
Hello, I hope you're doing well!
The current "Progress Update" post outlines what I need to accomplish before moving on to Chapter 3 Pt. 2, so you might be interested in reading it through to the end.
My Next Plans.
There was a poll recently about moments of jealousy that I was unsure about.
Based on the results, I decided to end it early so I could begin work this weekend.
Here's the current list of tasks I'll be working [alongside L's Side Story]:
Chapters 2 and 3 will be expanded to include a new secondary character who will offer an alternative to Paul(a)'s path, making the jealousy moments in the scenes more accessible and flexible to the MC's personality.
The content featuring Paul(a) in Chapter 3 Pt. 1 will be reworked [Paul(a) will now appear at a "flirt" status, not only "fwb".]
The variations of K's and Morgan's scenes without jealousy will be reworked [adding more content with them if Paul(a) or the new character doesn't appear.]
The "Secondary Rivals" section in the "Romance System Overview" will be expanded [secondary characters will receive special indicators to help players understand which of the presented options establish relationships with them that will affect jealousy moments.]
A new variable will be implemented to recognize the height differences between the ROs and the MC [taller / the same / shorter, depending on the ROs' gender and chosen height]. This will simplify height considerations without repetitive code statements.
The expanded demo will be released first on Patreon, along with the previously added smoking feature.
Chapter 3 Pt. 1. Bugs and Errors Fix.
Many grammatical errors have been corrected, and this morning I updated the scenes with all the changes.
The current version of the demo will not be updated anymore unless a serious bug arises, so save files will no longer reset you at the beginning of the scenes.
Additionally, last weekend I made slight adjustments to L's scene. Given its many variations and choices, my incorrect usage of the code resulted in repeated phrases and incorrect paths.
This issue has been fixed, and L's scene (with all the choices) is now fully playable. I apologize for any inconvenience my oversight may have caused.
"Romance System Overview" Update.
List of changes:
The "Romance Progression" section has been revised.
A new section "The ROs' Scenes" has been added.
The "Jealousy" section has been expanded.
A minor clarification has been made regarding the "Established Rivalries" dynamic.
You can check out the details in this post or in the demo on the stats page.
L's Side Story.
I plan to finish the translation and start the outline this weekend.
On September 30 I'll post the first sneak peeks, and in October I'll announce the release date.
The poll for the short story for next month will be released a little later today, and I plan to include the POVs from Chapter 3 along with the rest of the alphabets (because we're going to do them all, hehe!).
Thank you all for your patience, support, and help in making my story better! Wishing you a great weekend and a wonderful week ahead! ♥
