Dev Diary 90
Hello fine people, TD here.
Currently, Ch4Up6 sits at a total of 457 static images, 18 animations, and 11,571 words.
That comes out to 214 images, 0 animations, and 4,691 words since our last diary two weeks ago.
Pretty good progress all things considering GIL had quite a few technical issues to overcome these last couple of weeks. There was complications with his new graphic card, issues with a faulty water heater triggering his breaker, a friend going through a personal crisis, and HoneySelect being a capricious bitch that caught aids. No, I'm not going to explain that last part. I barely understand it myself.
Anyway, all things that can fuck up your groove creatively, but GIL stands on business. I'm always grateful that he's in charge of the hard part of the project.
Other than that, things got a bit changed around around since the last diary. We finished the two important scenes that I mentioned, but a couple more cropped up before we can properly move into Carnation Club business. These were character points I planned on hitting later in the update, but decided on utilizing earlier to better support Edwin's character in the aftermath of a particular revelation, as well as giving him something to draw on during the madness of exhibition 3.
So with that in mind, right now we're working on quite the nice Hana scene. This is an optional one for HanaGF havers: it starts early, and will be a throughline all the way to the end to the closing moments of the update. Players who have been loyal to Hana (or have been happily two timing her) will finally have something to chew on.
After that, we've got a similarly important Mina scene for those who favors quadtails over twintails, predicated on Edwin making a statement toward her during last update’s rock show. Mina is among the characters who needs advancement the most in my opinion. Hell, GIL considers her my redheaded stepchild, despite my protests that I do adore her.
The thing is: she’s got a lot of variability to juggle, and while last update did a nice enough job positioning her in the variety of ways that I need her, she’s always been lacking in the “girlfriend experience.” She’s the only heroine that didn’t get a major date in week 3, and I feel she’s fallen behind in the pursuit of letting other characters take a stab at her. So look forward to a little course correcting with that, Mina enjoyers.
I will stop my rambling now.
As always, thanks for you support. It means a tremendous amount to us.
Sounds good to me...
Just played the newest Version, and so far, the Hana-Girlfriend-Route is completely pointless. There is just one difference to the fuck buddies Route... the MC has some thoughts about cheating on her here an there, and they call each other Boyfriend/Girlfriend, thats it. There has to be way more to be motivated to go down that route. So far its an easy choice to stay fuck buddies and go for Mina too (and others). At the end of this update there is the first and more or less only huge difference for the girlfriend route, cause if you cheat with Mina, she will know so now that there is more between Hana and MC and this will lead to consequences i guess in the next update. So far its easy to play a "all-girl" playthrough just staying fuck buddies with Hana and get them all.... Branching is a difficult thing, but this game will not work without serious branching anymore.
Overall the last update was not what i expected. I thaught we will get the next Carnation-Challenge, but that wasnt the case. The focus was on the other Plots... Killian-Grace-Vicky, Darius, Vickys Porn Background and so on...
And its obvious that ... hm... lets say within the next 2 updates, Mina will learn about the Club. Its not really hideable anymore, she is already aware that something is "off". Rosies tounge already slipped, and with her romantic interest in MC and/or Hana its not avoidable at some point that she has to know those things... that point will be reached within the next 2 updates i think. But i hope that she will not be a part of the club in any way... the whole "journey about sex" thing should be without involving club activities. She is still kinda a innocent girl with a very very horny slut inside of her, but being involved in the club is something i dont want to see with her. She should know about it, and maybe accept it for Hanas and MCs sake, but not getting involved... well, we will see.
Though even if the update was not what i expected, it was a good one. (no surpise here, this game is way beyond 5 star). For future updates i whish a little more "romance" involved... there is already enough hard fucking all around, "lovemaking" is a little bit short, especially with Hana as real Girlfriend... yeah i like it a little mushy and cheesy
