I am LE BACK! Fully recharged. Spent an amazing period with my family, half at the beach half in the mountains, but I missed my wife so much and I missed you, you little monsters. ;)
It's time to do things again! Starting with another poll for JPDE2. ;D
Hello from Southern Italy! It's been great to be with my family again, and just disconnect... Halfway through, I'll be back on the 20th of August.
But keep in mind that JPDE2's newest episode comes out for all Patrons on the 13th! :D That doesn't change.
The second of the BIG updates! BACK TO BACK! 2.0 added a complete overhaul of the exploration and battle systems... 2.1 adds the Dating Sim System!

A sneak peak at how the Dating Sim systems work!
There are still a couple bells and whistles to add to the GUI. Also, I'm currently commissioning an artist to make Chibi style illustrations for all possible activities. :)

JPDE2 Adagio of Darkness was always supposed to have RPG gameplay.
You can probably tell from the original very clunky attempt at making a dungeon exploration system... And the fact that I needed to have a battle system, no matter how experimental. Well, that has changed. ...
