Hey Seeders, been a while!

We are really happy to bring you a new update to our game! We have put so much time and effort into this one. All to make sure that Leena would absolutely look her best and improve many aspects of the game that we all love!

It's been quite a journey since the last update and we are pretty happy with all the progress so we hope you will be too!

What's New? TL;DR

Here's a quick rundown of the major changes:

Bug fixes and general improvements.

More detail

Leena Date Overhaul

To put it into perspective the old version of Leena's date had 21 images total. So quite an improvement.

One of the very first scenes we created for the game, Leena's date was long overdue for some major improvements. We had previously made some additions to the date itself and some visual updates, but with the overhaul we spent time really drilling down into the sex scene and massively improving the animatic sequences. We are very happy with the new look and feel and we hope you feel the same way!

Leena Catch Up

These ones have extra variants because at this point in the game Leena can be given a womb- tattoo and nipple piercings!

We've been talking about making pregnancy catch-up scenes for all the girls, so that players are able to see their pregnancy develop, and we have finally implemented our first! In this chapter we get to learn more about Leena's past and aspirations too. We are trying to create a compelling narrative and as such we want all the characters to evolve as the game progresses. We are super happy with how this catch-up turned out!

Audio Improvements

Our audio tracks were not optimal to say the least, we hadn't quite figure out how to loop tracks correctly in renpy so we were using very long music tracks. This added quite a lot of weight to the game files as well. So now tracks have been cut into an intro followed by a looping segment, and this has allowed us to reduce the size of the audio for the game almost tenfold. This also makes it much easier to fit our demo within the size limit for Itch, which also meant we were able to add the new visuals and animatics without much restriction!

One of the first things you'll notice is that we also added 'voice bleeps', giving each character a simple vocalization with their dialogue. Adding this functionality to basically every line in the game ended up being actually quite straightforward. We set up the bleeps and the code for them, and the game automatically loops them quite nicely! Balanced properly with music and other audio, we feel like the bleeps add a very nice sense of liveliness to character lines.

Finally, we mapped the all voice clips and the voice bleeps to the Voice Mixer, meaning that now you can use the Voice mixer in the menu of the game if you wish to change their volume. The default music volume has also been set to 70%, instead of the 100% default. We feel this is the best balance for every sound, but it also gives you some wiggle room to increase the volume.

Overall Cleanup

There were a few bugs that we had to fix. Such as the game abruptly ending after you had sex with Silverclaw. And as we worked on the update bugs showed up here and there as expected, such as certain animatics using the wrong kinds of movement, weirdness around the date select mirror menu. All of these have been addressed.

What's Next?

So first off, we've been having a lot of discussion about what is next. We have a lot of ideas currently, but before we get into that, there is one thing we need to address.

We are definitely biting more than we can chew by doing both an overhaul and a catch-up scene at once. So from now on we will do one at a time. Either overhaul or a catch-up, this will allow us to post updates more frequently which is has been what we've been trying to do for a while.

This said we have two main ideas about what to do next, and we will be running a poll very soon to see what you guys think.

Focus entirely on the story: Make the next couple of updates all about the story. They won't have much in terms of animatics or new art, possibly having place-holder sketch assets in some places, but laser focused in completing the story in its entirety. After this we would go back scene by scene to work on the artworks and animatics and replacing any place-holders.

Keep making the pregnancy catch-ups:Do the next pregnancy catch-up, and keep working on them one by one, posting an update for each. We would be putting all our efforts into having them all done before overhauling the old scenes. The reason we think this makes more sense than over-hauling first is that, often with the catch-ups, ideas that change the old scenes come up and it would save us time revising changes and plot lines. Once done with all the catch-ups, we would move on to the overhauls or the game endings.

Keep in mind that after the poll we might end up just going for whatever makes the most sense for us, but we are nevertheless very interested in knowing what our supporters would like to see.
