Hey everyone!
I realized that I haven't given you an update on the progress of v0.7f, so I wanted to take this opportunity to fill you in. First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming positive response to the scene featuring Rose. It was initially intended to be a shorter scene, but I couldn't resist adding more and more to make it feel natural and immersive. I constantly questioned myself, wondering if it was too much, but ultimately, I decided to keep all the scenes intact. However, I did remove some choices. When Lydia reached a point where she undresses completely in front of Rose, having choices like "Let her touch" or "Let her peek" felt redundant. It was obvious that if players had reached that stage, those choices wouldn't really be necessary. On a positive note, the sleepover scene served as a setup for what's to come between the two characters, and I can assure you that things will only get better from here.
Now, let's address why v0.7f is taking longer than anticipated. Those of you who are active on Discord may already know that I've completed the scenes between Katya and Lydia. Initially, it was meant to be a brief conversation about their day, a five-minute read at most. However, as I delved into the writing process, I couldn't contain my excitement and kept adding more content like a maniac. Every time an idea struck me, I thought, "Oh, that would be cool," or "Ooh, what if they did a little clothes testing?" This enthusiasm led to their night together expanding to over 200 renders. If you've played the Rose's event, you know how much attention to detail I like to put into creating a cinematic experience. I want all the paths to receive equal attention and provide an immersive journey for the players. On that note, I must apologize as I've been unable to dedicate as much time as I would have liked to Bob's night with Lydia over the past couple of weeks due to work related issues. Therefore, this month's release may only include Katya's and Edward's interaction. Although I had hoped to have it finished by tomorrow, it seems unlikely at this point.
I want to make some clarifications regarding the progression of the characters. Katya won't progress as rapidly as Rose did. Their relationship will develop slowly and with caution. There are other priorities to address before Lydia starts experiencing romantic feelings that go beyond the typical child-parent relationship. However, in this update, Bob's interaction with Lydia will progress quite rapidly. The Lydia you'll see during Bob's storyline will be significantly different from the one you encounter during Katya's or Rose's night with her. So, I kindly request that you manage your expectations accordingly. Not everything you anticipate will happen just yet, except for Bob's storyline, which will indeed be eventful.
That's all for v0.7f. I won't provide a specific deadline or make any promises regarding the release date, but I can confirm that it will be out this month and will definitely feature Edward and Katya.
Now, let's talk about v0.8. I've already acquired all the necessary assets, and as soon as I'm done with Bob's storyline, I'll immediately start developing it. My goal is to release it by late August, which will get us back on track with monthly updates. Once I achieve that, I hope to allocate time to other important tasks and start crossing items off that goddamn list I created a year ago. This list has grown extensively, and it includes crucial tasks such as updating the UI, composing music, and implementing replay and gallery menus — all the things that were originally meant to be part of the game a long time ago.
Lastly, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for all your support. Your feedback, messages, and comments mean the world to me. I truly value your engagement and encouragement.
Thank you so much for everything!
Oh, and below are some sneak peeks
