Hey
EroBro! Don't post too much but just wanted to take the time to express how glad I am that you're back + have time to work on the game again. Really enjoyed it the first time around + it's so exciting to have a new update to play with the prospect of more going forward.
Also a couple of general comments. 1) I think the game you're developing is really great. I was a big fan of
my sweet neighbours too (and it was super sad what happened with the developer + his mother), and I really think you're building the foundations of a game that shares the same spirit (and maybe works as a homage) without being either a direct ripoff or a pale imitation (I think others have tried but honestly failed to do this). Also I love the renders + find the characters super hot, and just think the feel + energy of the game is great, too.
And 2) I think attempting to create shorter, regular updates (even in small parts like this) as you describe is a
great idea. Although short updates can be frustrating I feel as if a lot of games get momentum this way. Both because the game stays in peoples' minds and also because it will appear more often in the Latest Updates. And perhaps also because it demonstrates to potential supporters that the developer is working away at it consistently. Anyway, I think that's a good approach.
One final thing (sorry, bit of a long message) - I noticed that the game is still marked as "on hold", and the update hasn't appeared in the "Latest Games & Updates" tab yet. So it might be worth trying to rectify that if possible (maybe a moderator can assist?) I discovered the update because I'm following the thread and got a notification as a result, but feel a lot of people might not see it (either people rediscovering it or discovering it for the first time) until it appears there.
