Normal / Compressed

I am aware this is a public post. I apologize to my subscribers, however due to recent events, I had to get 0.03 specifically out to everyone as 0.02 could not stay up. Please see the bottom paragraph for details, if you're interested.

This one is near entirely "content", as in there is no side quests. Only character and main quests. A lot of work flow and back end work was done which left little time for what, in my eyes, is tertiary content.

Changelog:

I am aware a some-20 minute update is strange coming from me. And it's unacceptable, regardless of outside work that I did and other factors that happened this month. So, with that, in one week's time I will be releasing a bonus patch with additional content. In it will be;

If you want a "fuller" experience, I suggest waiting for that patch.

The keen eyed will notice that I have removed Reina and Mio content from the game. This is not something I have done lightly. Those on in my discord server probably noticed my min-crash out. This was the hardest choice I've ever had to make in my dev career. This is because of the massive censorship wave that hit Steam and Itch, banning "family" themes. Now, Substar currently fights for artist's rights and understands that this is fictional content, and I love that about them. What I don't love is how slow their support can be, being the small company they are. Until something concrete puts a stop to Visa and Mastercard's puritanical, and outright idiotic, censorship of fictional content, I have decided a pro-active approach is best. I'd rather (possibly temporarily) remove the content now, avoiding the ban-hammer and the long wait time for a review to get the game back in your hands. I have retained all the files needed to insert the content back in as quickly as possible, should the best outcome come to pass. So, what can we do? The current meta is to call, call, call. It's clear that they're both becoming increasingly annoyed, but that's what we need to do. They started this fight, it's up to us to finish it. Be polite, but assertive. Let them know we won't take this lying down as was done all the other times they've done this.

Been chugging along nicely. Mostly adding content now.

   - New notification system added and previous stuff moved over to it.
   - Switched from a dialogue pool system to unique, mostly funny, dialogue for random NPCs
   - Several dungeons and caves have been fully completed and parallaxed (fancy lighting and such)
   - A date system is being tested. Yua will be able to take Serena or Kai around town for... activities. Wink Wink.
   - Axed the triple triad card game due to issues with save compatibility. I'd rather NOT have people have to restart every time I add new cards. Sorry if I got people's hopes up on that one.
   - An outdoor map hotkey (and key item) added. This'll make caves, dungeons, etc easier to find.
   - Character bios menu added. You'll find a short description, gender, and various kink information there. (This will also show up before the choice to enable content with most characters)
   - Expanded functionality of the Wind Hand ability. You'll see. =)
   - The grotto system from the demo has changed. Now it's an actual map you can walk around in and talk to Serena and Kai. And eventually do other stuff.
   - Added in icons both above NPC heads, and outside buildings to make finding quests easier. (Side quests are found in an Headpats-esque quest board. Character quests are found by exploration. The icons make them easy to find though.)
   - Of course more scenes have been added.
   -  And MANY smaller details that aren't important enough to really note on their own.

We're getting VERY close to a V1 release. It's planned for the 1st of June, and I'll try my absolute best to make it happen. I'm working on the game every day but, as this game has a lot more going on under the hood, please don't be too mad at me if I don't make the planned release. <3 Thank you guys for your patience!
