Hi everybody.
It's about a week since we started developing the main content of the next update, and here's a summary of what we've been up to:
Weekly report
Chestnut:
She's been busy designing new locations (both in and out of the city) and creating background art. If you haven't seen the video of one of the new locations in the village we shared this week, check it out here:

Pistachio:
Besides a small bit of writing, I've spent most of my time coding the structure of events and dialogues using dummy images and text. I'm done with about half of it, and I think I will finish the base by the middle of the next week.
Next week's plan:
Chestnut will continue designing and creating new background art.
I will finish the base code and go on to do the first version of the hint screen, together with base new convos, notifications, new backgrounds, etc. I think the coding will keep me busy for the whole week.
Aside from the weekly report, there are a couple of other points we want to share:
The amount of content
Some of you have asked us about the amount of content of the 0.5 release, guessing that since we have potentially more tasks than 0.4, there will be more content in the next release. I have to clarify that that probably is not the case. In the 0.5 release, we will unlock several new locations, and some of those places have new areas within them (there is one, for example, that has 5-6 internal backgrounds). All these require a lot of drawing and coding to make the world bigger, and although we have planned 0.5 to tell a rather action-packed and hopefully satisfactory story, the amount of content is likely not more than 0.4.
Upcoming polls
We'll have two polls this month: Simmone's hairstyle, and the characters that will have their hidden photos taken for the 0.5 release.
Next month we will run a poll to determine the focus of the 0.6 update.
Refunds
I have already issued refunds for all of you who joined us in the final days of Feb and had to pay twice within the short span of a few days. If we've missed you, do send us a message on Patreon, and we'll fix it.
That's all for this week's report.
Have a wonderful weekend
Cheers
