Update #45. v0.2.4.1 Available for Tier 2
Hello, people!
Just a quick update to let you know that Tier 2 users now have access to version v0.2.4.1.
Yes, it's version v0.2.4.1 and not v0.2.4 because a couple of players found a bug that prevented the game from continuing on the third day in the gym scene. There are also some corrections to the texts that I was told were wrong.
As always, you can download it from the Heartstrings Discord server, or if you prefer, send me a private message here and I'll share the links with you.
And finally, thank you so much for all the support I've received with this new update. This latest update has been downloaded a lot, and I've received many positive comments and financial support. I'm so glad you liked it! And thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart, for all your support! ๐
See you soon!
Changelist v0.2.4.1:
Fixed a bug in the gym scene on the third day that prevented the game from continuing.

Update #44. Alpha 2.4 Update Now Available for Tiers 3 and 4
Hello people!
I almost didn't make it, but as promised, here is the v0.2.4 update before the end of the year! ๐
As you'll see, this version is packed with content and is very visual: almost the entire scene is animated, and there's significantly more text than in the last two updates.
As usual, there are still a few bugs here and there that I need to fix. For example, there's a visual glitch in the videos when you're talking with Clark, Michael, and Steve while eating in the cafeteria.
There are also a few ideas I would have liked to include, such as animated backgrounds with people talking and gesturing, but I had to cut some content. These are things I plan to add in the future, otherwise, I'd never manage to release updates at all.
Version v0.2.4 Beta is available for Tier 3 and Tier 4 supporters. You can download it from the Heartstrings Discord server, or if you prefer, send me a private message here and I'll share the links with you.
Additionally, for those who didn't play version v0.2.3.1, I've just uploaded it to Itch.io, so you can play it for free.
I almost forgot! There's another bundle I'm participating in: New Year's Naughty Bundle. You get 95 games from 78 developers to enjoy! And of course, the Winter Adult Games Bundle is still available too.
That's all for now. Thank you so much for all your support, you're the best. ๐
I hope you enjoy this new update!ย
Changelist v0.2.4:
Story continuation during the third day: cafeteria.
Added new character: Brittany Chambers.
Fixed an issue with Vertical Sync on low graphics settings that caused excessive GPU usage.
Removed a button on the main title screen for the Oppaiman store.
Changelist v0.2.3.1:
Continuation of the story on the third day: visit to the nurse's office and encounter before entering.
Added new character: Megan Dixon.
Fixed issue with tooltips. They were broken and not working correctly.
Fixed issue with the mobile phone UI, as well as other UIs, where text continued to show while the UI was visible, causing unexpected errors.
Fixed issue where scenes would restart when closing certain UIs.
Increased the maximum number of characters when choosing the character's first name and last name from 8 characters each to 12. (You may experience visual issues when setting names and surnames over 16 characters, which was the previous limit).
Fixed Emma/Emily's name in the science class.
Fixed some texts in the first gym class.
Fixed issue with resolutions: The game is designed to work correctly in 16:9 resolutions, and other resolutions were being filtered out. Now, if your monitor doesn't support those resolutions, you can choose a resolution from the available options, and it will display a warning about possible visual errors.
Fixed issue with Steve's first appearance, where the Constructive attribute was reduced to 1 in a couple of responses.
Added a button on the main title screen for the Oppaiman store.
Graphical improvement in renders.
Visually improved videos.
Fixed some renders with visual errors.
Added more details to the medical exam scene.
Added decision saving during the medical exam scene.
Reduced the amount of libido required to take a detailed, lustful look at Emily when you first meet her.
Added time progression during the infirmary scene.
Fixed a bug that allowed the fantasy scene with Kally to trigger at an invalid time, which broke the game.
Fixed some errors in the Spanish translation.
Added a window in the main menu with a warning to change the resolution in case of visual or UI problems with the game.

Update #43. Happy Holidays and Winter Bundle!
Hello people!
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to have update v0.2.4 ready for today as I had planned. As always, a few setbacks during this final stage of development have delayed things a bit. ๐
I usually avoid giving specific dates because unexpected things tend to come up, and I don't feel good when I can't meet them. However, I will do my best to have it ready by next week, as there isn't much left to do. Hopefully, I can deliver this little Christmas gift to you all. :D
On another note, I'm participating in a new bundle! It's the Winter Adult Games Bundle. This bundle includes 121 games from 79 developers, so there's tons of content to enjoy! I invite you to check it out, and if you're interested, feel free to share it with anyone who might enjoy it.
That's all for now. I hope to be back next week with a new update, I'll do my best to make it happen. ๐
And, as always, thank you so much for all your support. ๐

Update #42. v0.2.4 Ready Before the End of the Year?
Hello people!ย
Just a quick update. I'm getting close to finishing the next update. I've been trimming a few things that aren't necessary for now, which means I'm very close to having all the images and animations completed. After that, it'll just be a matter of putting everything together and shaping the new game scene.
My goal is to have it ready for tiers 3 and 4 before the end of the year. I think I can make it, although I'm not entirely sure since unexpected issues always come up. Still, I'm giving it my all to try to meet the deadline. ๐
In this post, I've included a short sneak peek of some of the new animations, from the process of creating and recording them to integrating them into the game. (Please note that this is a Work in Progress).
And one last thing: next week I'll be doing another cross-promo. It's a game with really high-quality illustrations; you'll see. ๐
As always, thank you so much to those of you who are there supporting me. And of course, to all the newcomers who join us every week. ๐

Update #41. v0.2.4 Is Taking Shape: Cameras, Videos, and More
Hello people!
The development of v0.2.4 is moving forward nicely. As many of you already know, this part of the day takes place in the coffee shop, and I've included a small preview in the header of this post to give you a little taste of what's coming. ๐
Over the past few days, I've been looking into video encoding, since some of the clips were appearing blurry. I finally found a way to make them look sharper, though I still need to run more tests to reduce file size without sacrificing too much quality. It's not perfect, but it's the best I can achieve within Unity's limitations using the VP8 format, so I'm squeezing as much quality out of it as possible.
I also took some time to review the results of the survey about the conversation style. With 74% of the votes, the option to bring the camera closer during dialogues came out on top. Those of you who have played version 0.2.3 may have noticed that I've been experimenting with new camera angles and character animations. I also really liked the idea suggested by Patreon supporter Meabe: using closer shots for 1-on-1 or more intimate conversations, and a wider camera for group dialogues.
So I'm combining all of that: the approach Meabe mentioned, plus the more detailed style I tried out in 0.2.3. You'll see this in v0.2.4, and later on I'll update some of the older scenes as well.
And that's pretty much it... Ah, no! I almost forgot! Next week I'll be doing another cross promo! So stay tuned! ๐
As always, thank you so much for your support, everyone! More and more of you keep placing your trust in me and helping me out. You're the best. ๐

Update #40. Version v0.2.3.1 available for Tiers 1
Happy Halloween! ๐
I wasn't sure if I was going to have time to do it, but in the end, I managed to carve out a moment to prepare a special render for the season and for the Halloween bundle. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. ๐
Also, for those of you in Tier 1 or higher, the download links for version v0.2.3.1 are now available. You can find them directly on my Discord, or if you prefer, you can send me a private message and I'll send the links to you personally.
