Animation poll and updates on Version 0.26 and future releases
ba58b016-fc35-4250-a455-a9d88ec9962e.jpg
Hello everyone!

It looks like our team got so deep into work that we completely forgot last week’s update. So let’s fix that.
First, some news about Version 0.26. We’ve finished drawing all the key scenes. What’s left are the variations and expressions. This time there are more scene variations than usual, so things are pretty busy.
Now for something more global. Our writer is currently refining the update structure so that we can start adding repeatable scenes into the game. Each character will eventually have their own schedule and appear in different locations depending on the day and time. This will be a gradual process. We can’t suddenly change the entire gameplay structure, because it needs proper story justification. On top of that, it’s too much work for a single update. But step by step you’ll get more “daily repeatable events” in the future.
Now let’s move on to the poll that will decide which older scene gets animated. As always, this is the first of two polls. As promised last time, the scenes that placed 2nd and 3rd remain in the voting list. This time those are scenes number 5 and number 2, marked with bronze and silver colors. We also added some new scenes that weren’t included before. It’s up to you to decide which one will be animated.
One more thing. To stay on schedule, the voting period will be shortened from 7 days to 5 days so the animators can start working as soon as possible.

That’s all for today. We’ll try to keep our news updates on time from now on. Thank you for your support and have a great day!

Where's the incest in this game? I haven't played in a while and couldn't find it last time.

Voting for Animation #2 and some news
1765467222603.jpeg
Hi everyone!

So, it has been 5 days since the first animation poll and we can sum up the results. This time, among the older scenes, third place went to scene №5, second place to scene №2, and the winner was scene №7. Just like last time, the scenes that took second and third place will participate in the poll for the next update. For now, let us decide who will become our second winner.
In this poll you can also see scenes that were close to winning in the previous vote. Namely, scene №7, which previously took second place, and scene №4, which last time finished in third place. On top of that, there are some new and more recent scenes here as well. Who exactly will become the winner is entirely up to you.
As for other news, we are continuing development. To be honest, this week we slowed down a bit because of various real-life problems in the team. Our programmer is overloaded at their other job, and the writer has a ton of issues related to moving. In short, a lot of everyday tasks happened to land right at the end of the year, but we are trying to stick to the schedule.
Otherwise, things are going well. In update 0.26 you will find four key story routes, each of them focusing on a specific character. You can try to guess in the comments who that will be. Besides that, in this update the main story will move forward significantly, so we are working hard on several important story scenes. In short, work is going on.

That is probably all for today. I still need to remember to make a holiday artwork for you to get everyone in a Christmas mood. That is all for today, have a great week and thank you all!

I like 9, 7, and 5. Shame that the scene with the police woman didn't win a animation.

Poll Results and a Sick Team
1766163105761.png
Hi everyone!

Before we get to the poll results, we want to explain why the last few posts were delayed. Since the beginning of December, a large part of our team has been getting sick. In my case, my entire family was hit hard by the flu. I personally could not get out of bed for several days and spent most of that time sleeping with a high fever. This also caused complications with an old health issue of mine, though things are much better now. Because of these circumstances, I was only able to properly finish my part of the artwork today, including character emotions and scene variations. Our writer also got sick earlier, which took him out of the workflow for several weeks. So either the weather this month was especially brutal, or our immune systems just dropped toward the end of the year.
That said, we are back on track again, at least for the most part. As for the animation poll, the results are as follows: Scene #9 took first place, Scene #2 took second place, and Scene #4 came in third. As a result of the two polls combined, the older scenes that will be animated are Cornelia in the fitting room and the scene with Elyon and Miranda at the fair.
Regarding update 0.26 itself, this time the story will feature four main branches. They are split in a way that should not disrupt the usual flow of the narrative. The update will be packed with events that move the main story forward. To be honest, the writer really went all out this time, with a lot of scene variations and different events. He showed us no mercy toward the end of the year, haha. We even had to cut some content to stay within the schedule.
If we talk a bit more specifically about the story, the image attached to this post shows a redraw of the Tracker sprite. In fact, the old sprite was never actually used in the game. But its time has finally come. On the left you can see the old version, and on the right the new one. There are also a few new sprites of previously unseen characters, but we will not reveal all our cards just yet.

That is all for today. Take care of yourselves and stay healthy, everyone. Have a great day!
