And… greetings, my dear friends!

I’ve come to you with some bad news. Version 0.4.5 is already finished, and overall I could release it right now, but I decided to hold it back for a bit to make sure everything works as it should. Also, because of deadlines, I had to wrap it up midway, once again, I’m sorry.

But you might ask, what’s the bad news then?

There’s no sex.

Literally, the entire update was focused on other aspects of the game, such as relationship development, character depth, and everything surrounding that. So there simply wasn’t room for it.

Yes, I could’ve added a random scene that made no sense, but I chose not to. So if you were waiting for the next update specifically for that kind of content… I’m sorry, maybe in the future.

Now, about the update itself…

As I mentioned before, this continues Act 0.4, Lora and Olivia’s routes. In it, I focused on developing the relationships between two characters, Kalestra and Miriel, and dropped a huge amount of lore.

At the same time, I aimed for minimalism in wording, trying to show more through renders rather than text. Whether I succeeded or not, we’ll see after release.

But what I think turned out especially well is the pacing.

That was my main focus. There are still a couple of moments where questions might arise, “why?”, but I plan to fix those today or tomorrow.

After this update, I’ll run another survey about it and then begin work on the Clown Squad update!

More on that later.

For now, one more thing, a new feature has been added to the game: Cheats! Yay!

Why? Sometimes saves disappear for various reasons, and replaying everything isn’t always appealing. So now you can enter a code and automatically unlock all content up to the latest update.

Also, emotionally, I tried to aim for more than just lust this time.

(Funny? Maybe. But I’m trying.)

That’s all for now.Happy holidays, hugs, and see you soon!

Yours truly,NoGlory
