Devlog EA 3 part2

The left side is the old version, and the right side is the new one. The last image, I accidentally deleted the old version, so there's no comparison.

Devlog EA 3 part1

Here’s a look at Caroline’s basement theme! Her theme is Classroom, inspired by the visual novel she reads often. I also gave her a school uniform costume. Now, onto reworking and improving her H-scene positions.

Which one should I work on for the next update?

Devlog EA 2 part3

Since I've been adding a lot of furniture, scrolling to find the right one has become difficult. So, I've decided to add filters. Furniture will now have categories, allowing you to select a type from a dropdown menu. You can also filter items based on whether they are placed on the ground o...

Some reworks

The left side is the old version, and the right side is the new one. In Scenario 3, I had to change the background since she doesn’t live on a mountain.

Also, here’s some progress on my non-pixel art.

EA plans

I completely forgot to mention my plans for Early Access. Each month, I’ll focus on one character, improving their sprites, improving their scenarios, and giving them their own basement theme. Mary will be the first character I’ll be working on. What I’ve shown you right now is her basement...

Color, Object animations and future art

Final system

You can now change the walls and floors of your basement. Before that, I’ve added the final item type: Miscellaneous.

For example, when asking Caroline t...

Random Encounters

To make every date unique, random encounters are a key feature. These encounters test your luck, skill, and problem-solving abilities. The outcome of each encounter can either earn or cost you date points, with your partner reacting through unique dialogue based on the result. This new feature wi...

Mistakes, Work and The Game’s future

Mistakes
One mistake I made while developing this game was being overly ambitious. I should have started with smaller projects to learn how everything works, especially since I was new to game development at that time. Because of this, adding features like translations or fixi...

Announcement

In the past few months, I've noticed a gradual decline in my productivity. At first, I ignored it and kept working because I love developing this game. However, this month, I can’t help but wonder why I’m no longer able to work as I used to. Ideas aren’t coming, and I’m struggling to stay...

Weekly Report: A change of view

The top-down view of the outside of the General Store and inside the Mall has been switched to a side-scroller view. Making it a side-scroller view makes more sense compared to a top-down view.

It's also been a while since I've created new perspectives, so I'll be making new ones while also...
