0.3 status update + weekly report 13
Hi everybody.
We're at the end of July and have a couple of important points to discuss.
Refunds:
If you've joined us toward the end of July, you will be charged again in a few days once Patreon starts processing next month's subs. Sadly, this is how Patreon works, but do send us a message, and we'll refund one of your payments so that you won't have to pay twice.
Avatars:
If you are a Best Friend or a Close Friend tier patron, you can send us your avatar and chosen name (plus an optional text for BF tier) to be included in the game. You can contact us using Patreon or Discord.
Here are the new additions to the Friends book and the heart:
If we've made a mistake in your avatar, get in touch, and we'll fix it.
0.3 status:
We originally meant 0.3 to include the end of the Main Story 1, a short intro quest for Holly, and a short intro quest for Myrtle. In retrospect, that was a bit too much given our timeframe. The bit with Serena's scene ended up being more complicated than what we had initially intended. But we loved it visually, and didn't want to change it.
Holly's intro quest, too, turned out longer than Maple's intro quest (the only example we had in the game). We toyed with the idea of simplifying it, but we liked the story and didn't want to sacrifice quality for convenience.
We are working very hard to make sure that once we're done with Holly's intro, we have enough time to do justice to Myrtle's quest. Given that we already have all the backgrounds necessary for that story, we're hopeful that we can manage it. Either way, we'll keep you updated in future reports.
Release date:
If all goes as planned, we'll release the game on the first weekend of September. We're aiming for 30-40 mins of playtime.
This week's report:
This week we completed all the dialogues and writings for Holly (except those for the sex scene). Pistachio has started posing Holly's scenes, and Chestnut has done several background artworks, and has finished all the necessary sprites for the supporting characters of her story.
Next week's plan:
Pistachio will continue posing scenes, and Chestnut will start drawing cutscenes and making it all look pretty and cinematic.
Have a wonderful weekend
Cheers
