End of Month Recap: September - UI Improvements, CG's and Chapter 4! (Patreon)
Content
The end of September is right around the corner and it feels as if this month flew by! Fortunately, we managed to get a lot of work done and we're set up for a strong October.
Things we accomplished this month:
Options Menu/Credits Menu/Text History Menu have been revamped:
These menus now reflect the updated GUI theme. The old design has been replaced and the number of menus has been reduced.
Primary Save File can now be changed in the middle of gameplay:
This is a quality of life improvement and players can now explore different routes without having to restart their entire play through.
Added Character Standings Menu:
This menu allows you to see how much a character likes or dislikes you on the fly. The particular points that are earned throughout the story still need to be modified but it's a small tweak that will be done gradually as work continues.
New CGs and Background Added:
Berry Springs Train Station
Sophie Undressing Peek
Cerise Thigh Touch (With all gender and skin tone variants)
Sophie Teasing
Back end Code for Cerise Room 1 and Mira Room 2 Added:
While this may not be visible in game yet, the stage has been set to just plug in these characters when Doku is able to complete their sprite artwork. We’re aiming to have them added early in October.
Day 13 Story Content Added for two routes:
Returning from Berry Springs with Sophie or Colette will now continue their routes. CG's for this segment are still missing but the dialogue is all in place.
Things we'll be doing next:
October is going to be a busy month because we aim to have both Cerise and Mira added to the room that they're missing from. Doku has made a huge dent in the amount of CG's left but there are still plenty that need to be done. Room 3 is in the design step and we're going aim to have something to show for it.
There will be a public build early in the coming month that will showcase some of the new content that's been added since 1.7.1. Usually we try to have a new public version every 3 months or so and we're about to be over due for it. (Last one didn't have any Berry Springs content or Cerise!)
On top of all this, Halloween is coming! We've received some interesting costume suggestions in the last art poll and we may have some polls for you to vote in.
Last but not least, here are the art package contents for this month.
There may be some additional concept art in there depending on how much we are able to get done this weekend!
Hope you guys enjoy what's coming in v1.10.0! As usual, the finalized change log will be posted on release day with the full details of what's new.
