Wow, the poll results are basically split 50/50. Erring on the side of too much content seems like the player preference.

What about the plot in general? Is it synchronized with what period of the anime/manga? Or is it after all the events? Or is it some kind of spin-off? Some kind of alternative branch?

The relationship with Tionishia is similar to what it was in the anime/manga and then we get the opportunity to pay more attention to her? Or what in general? Will there be an opportunity to fully go to Tionishia's route?

My manuscript follows the manga closely up to a point. Specifically, D's letter shenanigans. After resolving that, I began really diverging in my story.

The biggest difference is permission from the government to breed. And also, marriage actually happening instead of remaining unresolved infinitely. Each of the main girl's routes will conclude with marriage.

I'm doing partial routes for MON members. No marriage option for them. Tio's scenes are coming along nicely for the next update. I've been working only on her for the past couple of weeks.

I haven't written her exactly in character, but that's honestly because her she is sadly not really characterized in the source material. So, I don't have a choice there.

Note: I fully noticed how few lines Tio has in the anime when I was collecting audio clips for her voice.

Tentative Update Roadmap:
  1. Miia & Tionishia
  2. Papi & Manako
  3. Centorea & Zombina
  4. Suu & Doppel (How does one write Suu dialogue....?)
  5. Rachnera & Smith
  6. Lala & Polt
  7. Kii & Cathyl???
  8. Side Characters
Canon characters only for at least 6 months.
Whoa, I forgot Mero somehow...

Lord, forgive my sin.

Status: Papi's intro scene is complete. And so are Tio's scenes. I'll be spending the rest of this month writing Miia, bringing the total new content for the next update to 2.5 to 3 hours of additional playtime.

Thoughts: I've got my workflow down and expect to keep this pace each month moving forward. Giving every character at least an hour of dedicated gameplay inflates this project beyond its original scope. But for the better, in my opinion. I'd rather do it the right way, even if it takes longer to finish.

Also, I'm highly motivated to get to Mero and Rachnera... So I can't slow down.

I am stuck. After the bath and post-Smith scenes I can't do anything because it says "finish the tutorial quest first" but it says nowhere what the next tutorial quest is supposed to be.

What are you clicking when you receive that notification?

Each quest begins with dialogue from Smith giving some kind of directions.

Separately, you can disable the tutorial when starting the game.

I get the bath scene then Smith comes in, gives me the speech from the original story, Miia gives me the tonguejob and then I am basically softlocked.

You're supposed to work at the hardware store after that. Sleep and work.

Sleep in the bedroom. There's a bedroom button at the bottom of the screen.

Or explore.
