Big picture
There are many kinds of sandbox games, so today I want to tell you about our vision of the game's future, what we're trying to accomplish and why we're spending so much time on the game's engine.
Imagine a bunch of gameplay options: going to the beach with an NPC, going to a night club with an NPC...

In order to get the latest version of the game, all you have to do is download a c...

Today is June 19th, which means $5+ Patrons get all premium content from 0.3!
As you've already heard many times before, we're making a sandbox game with many gameplay elements. Originally we were planning to make college lessons our first gameplay element we add into the game, bu...

Kate's first job
Even though we started working on adding content into the game, we still have a lot of game mechanics to implement. For example, college lessons are going to take a lot of our time. We're making a sandbox, not a visual novel, so we have big plans. Thankfully, most of this work is done by our program...

Upd: we moved to the new server. It's a lot faster than our previous one, the game runs smoother now.
Good news for our $20 tier supporters. Premium 0.3 content is now available for you. You now have access to new dialogs and events, all you have to do is start the game.

Server is up again
We knew it might happen one day. Even if our server went down because of the problems at hosting data-center and it wasn't really our fault, it happened anyway. If it's any consolation, it happened for the first time in a long time, everything was fine for over a year while we were working on BB.

- Decreased time spent on painting the basement from 6 to 3 hours before the special event and from 2 to 1 after.

Looks like we've managed to fix login issues. If you still have problems, please write about them in the comments.
Many people ask questions about release schedule, so let me reiterate:
Every month we release a new version of the game. This month it's 0.3. Next month (July) it's going to be ...

June 5th is very close, but we still have a lot to do. So many things to work on, so little time. It pains me to spend my time on writing posts instead of making the game, but we can't be completely silent, can't we.
So, here's our current progress report:
- Over 40 new dialogs. Some of ... 2018-06-03 10:21:37 +0000 UTC View Post
Delivery system
Glamour will have different ways to buy stuff. Some things will only be available in the mall, other in some dark alley, and some only on the web. First delivered item will be added in 0.3 in series of events, related to the basement. In the future this delivery man is doing to deliver many differen...

People have questions like whether guests will be able to save their progress, ability to share same save file between different devices and bunch of other stuff, so let's talk about save process in Glamour.
The game is going to autosave every time you go to sleep, once per day. The game will have...

Now that we're almost done with adding new NPCs and some content, it's time to talk about future updates. We want to return to our traditional monthly updates like we did with BB. End of the month isn't the best time to do it, though, and we still have work to do. Early June sounds good, but lately ...

While we don't post as many news as we did last time, we still work just as hard. Our whole team is working on adding new NPCs into the game. Our writer is working on new dialogs, our translator is doing his thing, our designer is editing all images, I'm working on 3D and events, and our programmer ...

Progress report
I think we finally worked out the kinks and streamlined the process of adding new events and dialogs into the game. Soon we'll start adding new content, like watching TV with Julia. Of course, we still have plenty of game mechanics to implement, but this one is done. Also, new events and dialogs wil...

We added a temporary fix for ultra-wide aspect ratio on Android. Now you can see all interface elements, aligned to left side of the screen. We'll align everything to center later.
Greatly increased font sharpness for resolutions lower than 1920x1080
