EDIT: Here's a patch fixing a problem that made the Harissen not showing up in Anaëlle's shop (even with the reset crystal), making it impossible to progress through both the mini-game and Keizo's quest.

Hello everyone,
The new update for Slice of Venture Remake is here and I have some things to say about it.
As you already know, I've been naming this update the "buffer" update, because the addition of a new playable character requires extra time to do things that can't be put
on drawing smut. As such, this is by far the smallest update in terms of gameplay because I just can't add more at the moment:
- Ayame's first quest needs the implementation of a whole mini-game (and that is more a question of time than content for now.)
- Ayame's second quest needs the creation of a new character that hasn't been done yet.
- Yuki's content need liquids and they're slowly coming.
So basically, I'm a bit stuck. Especially considering how late everyone is (Nito got extra late for the first time in ten years so I can't blame him, but he's late enough that
not all the charsets are ready for this update (so don't fret if you see people with the wrong outfits, or a quatuor of boys with the exact same head.)
The overall idea was that this update served to place Ayame properly in the game. And it's now the case. It required a good amount of work that won't show much: all the maps have been duplicated with NPCs replaced with new dialogues, Ayame's faceset has been completely redrawn and recolored and she now has a naked/swimsuit version to fit the beach part, Ayame's status screen had to be done as well (with her new sprite) and her skill tree also had to be done from scratch. All these things are elements that take a good amount of time and lead to 0 play time, making that update really smaller (but necessary.)
But hey, at least most of it is done. And yes, I say "most" because there are still a few things that will need to be done on Ayame's side to be perfectly ready (notably designing the new girl she'll interact with for her second quest.) That's why, depending on how things progress, there's a chance that the next update doesn't have a full H scene for Ayame (only cut-ins) because I want to focus on finishing everything Akiko-related on Yuki's side for now.
As it's now meant to be, things will only depend on the speed of the artists :x
If you want a quick sum up of what's inside that update anyway here it is:
- Of course, the possibility to switch between the girls while clicking on their respective futon.
- 1 new H scene (which is 1 new base image). It's a scene between Yuki & Keizo that wasn't implemented in the past but occured during her quest. If you're after this point, don't worry, it's accessible through Yuki's gallery.
- Talking about the gallery, you need a key to open it, now. Key that you can buy to Anaëlle against HC. As such, the cheating item is in the common gallery to allow you to get as many HC as you want.
- I've placed a Green orb in the barn: it resets Anaëlle's shop. It's a bit of a bug-inducing thing because it restock unique items everytime you use it, but thanks to it, if I add new items in the shop, you don't have to restart a game before the first conversation to get these new items.
- We've kept improving Soul Mate, with proper text and sound for the Plus/Same effects and better flipping animations.
- There's 3 new maps, for the beach area (there will be more in the future).
- Ayame's faceset completely redrawn and recolored and Mari's one improved (but not redrawn) as well as available in naked and swimsuit version too.
- Some minor corrections on charsets, the inspector in the main story now has his proper charset
- Change of dialogues with some important NPCs (mainly Kuritas and Riki/Tetsu/Fubuki) depending on whether or not the character is pregnant.
So as you can see, there isn't nothing. But yeah, it's smaller. As always you'll find the full detail in the changelog. And in case you'll be wondering about it when playing that update: if the train part looks like it took time to do, it did (it took me two full days just to do that :x)

I hope you'll enjoy the update, however small it is.
See you next time o/
