Preview 1.65b

Hello, everyone! Here’s a preview of all that's coming in the next version. Feel free to scroll down to the topics you're most interested in.

Oliver :

• Writing: 90%

• Video/Photos: 95%

• Editing/Revision: 90%

• Coding: 50%

It’s time to continue Oliver’s second route. In this path, I want to do something I didn’t in the first route: focus more on his art class and the other students before solidifying your relationship with Oliver. But that doesn’t mean he’ll take a back seat—you’ll still have plenty of moments with him, and your choices with other characters will impact your relationship with him.

The first student getting a quest is Millo. You’ll get to know more about him, his situation with Deen, and by the end, you’ll have two options. Your final choice will impact how he behaves in Oliver’s route. You’ll also have brief interactions with Deen to understand his motivations better, giving him more depth than his more generic villain role in Oliver’s first route.

Linda :

• Writing: 80%

• Video/Photos: 100%

• Editing/Revision: 80%

• Coding: 30%

A lot of new characters have been introduced in Linda’s story, with drama after drama unfolding. I thought this would be a good time to slow things down and create more solo moments between you and Linda, focusing on your relationship. However, the main character will also start questioning some family secrets that he’s never looked into before.

This doesn’t mean you’ll only spend time with Linda. Natalie is still around, helping (and causing a bit of chaos) in your relationship with Linda. I’ve decided to change things up with Natalie, giving you more choices about how to handle her, rather than just letting her always get her way.

Extra Scenes and Specials:

• You’ll unlock repeatable scenes and items to buy on Mayazon as you progress through the new quests, allowing you to gather affection while watching new scenes.

• Oliver was the winner of the poll to gain a scene in his new special event, so expect something for Patreon supporters in Tier 2 (Adventurer or higher).
  

Looking Ahead:

As mentioned in this devlog, I’ve been focusing heavily on character quests, which has left little time for other aspects of the game. As a result, I’ve decided not to progress Lust Garden, the workplace, or similar content in this update. Instead, I’ll focus on mechanics that have been on hold, fixing known bugs, and improving the game’s HUD. I know this might be a bit disappointing, but it’s important to address these issues before they become bigger problems. I promise to do my best to avoid this happening again in the future.

Release Date:

Most of the writing and revisions for the main routes are done, but I still have a lot of programming and extra content fixes to complete. While I won’t announce an exact date, I estimate the update will be ready around the middle of the month, somewhere between the 14th and the 20th.

Thanks for reading, take care, and I hope you enjoy what’s coming! and I’ll see you all soon!
