Hello everyone!

Here’s another small update on how the game is progressing.

The release will likely shift closer to the end of September — as always, I’ve overestimated my own capacity 😅. There’s still so much to fix and polish!

I’m still a beginner, and not everything works perfectly right away. That means I’m often rewriting and improving old things while working on the new ones. But I’m moving forward and giving it my all.

Working on the game is truly exciting, and it’s amazing how my perspective on visual novels changes when I don’t just play them, but also see how they’re built from the inside.

Progress so far

1. Finished the mini-game, including its visuals. I like the new version so much more! I wonder how many players will be able to solve it. Don’t worry though: all mini-games are optional — the solutions are just a bonus.
   
   

2. Almost done with the game modes system. Based on feedback, I added different ways to play:
   – Intuitive mode (no hints at all),
   – Story mode (with hints),
   – Custom mode (with your own settings).

3. New CG scenes. I’m adding them both to old routes and new ones, and I think it makes the atmosphere richer.
   
   

4. Reworked some of the heroine’s possible jobs and quests.

5. Updated the heroine’s avatars so they don’t feel out of place compared to the rest of the art.

6. Wardrobe. The mechanic has been ready for a while, but now I divided it into sections and started filling it with outfits. Honestly, this is my favorite part of the game 🖤.
   
   
   

7. Sprites, emotions, characters. There are a lot of them, and many appear already in the first week (though not all!). Creating emotions is going slowly — I’m still learning Photoshop — but step by step it’s coming together.

I want to thank everyone for the advice, patience, and support. I really want to make this game as good and engaging as possible — it’s important to me.

And if you’d like to support me, likes, downloads, comments, and ratings mean more to a humble developer than you can imagine 💜.
