Greetings!

So, first of all I gotta apologize because I completely forgot to make another dev log on here. I hope you can forgive me for this.You can? Well, that's mighty nice of you!

Alright, good! Now that that's outta the way, we can get to the good part: The Update!

I've almost lost my mind over it but it turned out great, I think.

The code has been reworked to a good extent and in a manner that doesn't need you to start over at all. Your save files should be good to use! (Don't quote me on it, lol)

Let me give you a quickie changelog and then get into some of it.

------------------------------------------------------------

Changelog:- 13.000 (+1500) words- 165 (+42) images- 2 new Space Hamsters- Main-/Side-girl structure in the in-game phone- Hamster Hint System (patent pending)- Customizable phone background

------------------------------------------------------------

Alrighty, so.. what do the numbers in the parenthesis mean?- 0.16 features a guest scene and those numbers are on top of the main CH content. Hence the little plus, y'know?

And what about the Main-/Side-girl structure thingy?- I talked about it in the last dev log already but for anyone who couldn't be bothered to read that and for some reason is going to read this wall of text I'll quickly explain it again: The Stats Screen of the in-game phone has been split into Main girls and Side girls, respectively. This will give you an overview about who's what and how much content you can expect for each of them. Those roles are not set in stone, though. There is always a chance for change, depending on a variety of factors like popularity and story development.

Okay, cool. Now explain the Hamster Hint System.- Sure. This has been mentioned in the aforementioned dev log as well but here we go: I've added a hint system that shows a little notification whenever one of those pesky rodents is visible on screen. It can be enabled via the Hamster Gallery on the in-game phone. A tutorial for it will pop up when you load a game once, and whenever you start a new game.

Awesome! But what's this about a customizable phone background?- Well, it's been suggested that those hamster images would make for good wallpapers and I agree. Now you can use any unlocked Hamster Render (except those with more than one girl for reasons™) as your phone wallpaper by right-clicking their thumbnail in the Hamster Gallery Screen of the in-game phone. This is explained in the aforementioned tutorial as well, albeit without visual aid because c'mon, it's not that hard.

Can we get those links now?!- Uh, yeah. Sure. Here you go:

Mac:GDriveMegaWorkupload 

Android:GDriveMegaWorkupload

This is enough from me for now, so I'll just wish you a lot of fun and hope that you'll enjoy the update.

Let me know what you think, either on here or over on Discord.

Love y'all, guys and gals!

Cheers!

Surprised that's where 0.16 ended but you've certainly got me curious on what that's going to be about, they certainly weren't thrilled about it lol

VertigoGaming

They certainly weren't, that's right. :D What surprises you about the end of 0.16, though? :P

ActuallyArma

Surprised might be a poor choice of words tbh. Figured it'd end with a surprise at school

Very much enjoying the VN. Although there've been a few places where I thought THIS would have been a great setup for a gag ... Mariko: You really feel like he can be trusted? Miko: I do! MC: I- Mariko: Shh! I'm talking to my daughter. MC: Miko .. your Mom's probably too strong for me to spank her right? Mariko: WHAT?! MC: Shh! I'm talking to your daughter.

VertigoGaming

Glad to hear that you enjoy CH! While I do like the humor of it, the situation was a bit too tense for this kind of humor. :P Not a bad idea, though. :D Thank you for your support! :)

Mat Hill

Yeah .. I agree. I really am quite impressed with what you've done with so many characters. I've played other VN's where even main characters with a lot of 'screen time' and dialogue have still managed to be somewhat one-dimensional. While you .. even with characters we've not seen a lot of, and who have quite strong single defining traits (so far) like Okami, still don't come off as one-dimensional caricatures of characters. I also find it extremely frustrating in VN's (and for some reason it's a very common trope) to have an MC who is a jerk, an idiot and at the same time too passive and they just let events happen without taking an active enough part. In CH I think the MC is a reasonably well balanced character - tries to do what he can while there's a realistic amount of bewilderment at first, at what he's discovering about the world.

VertigoGaming

Oh wow, thank you so much! That's amazingly kind of you! I do try to avoid using tropes and archetypes for the most part, yeah. All the girls have a separate backstory that (hopefully) shapes them and gives them depth, since I really enjoy character building and personally think that every story is carried by its characters. Gimme a shitty story with great characters and I'm fine. A great story with bad characters, though? I don't think something like that can exist. Indeed. The MC in AVN is very important and a bad MC can break an otherwise great game. That pretty much ties in what I mentioned above. Sure, there are people who like to play assholes for various reasons but I think that most people feel more at ease with someone who doesn't go too strong in either direction. You don't want an asshole but you also don't want a Mr. Perfect who can do everything and claims every heart (and other bodyparts) in seconds after meeting the owner. That's just flat-out boring. A good mix between those two does the trick and is also the most natural, since no real person is ever going to be just one trait and nothing else. That's my take on these things, at least. :) Feel free to say hi on the Discord as well! I'm online there pretty much every day after work to hang out. :) Thanks again for your kind words! Stuff like this is what keeps me going!
