A little newsflash

...and more :P

Let's start with the things that I'm working on rn:

Endings... 
Yeah, a lot of endings. Currently I'm working on an additional (conditional) scene for Katherine that only triggers if certain conditions are met.
It's part of her romance, but also part of the main ending (in a way...) that can be ignored.

I think I mentioned in a previous post that the main ending is done. Kat's scene is in an addition to that, but also part of her own arc.

I still haven't done all the endings for each single character, and even though none of them is really that long, some are still quite complex. There are many conditions, triggered by choices you can make throughout the story that can influence things, even if it's just wording in a dialogue, it has to be considered.

The additional scene with Rachel that I mentioned in an earlier post is coming along quite well. I'm working on it alongside the endings, to speed things up a bit.
Here's a little "preview" (any guesses what might happen?):

Other than that I'm also reworking some older scenes, specifically really old/bad ones. This is one of the earliest scenes in the cafe where we meet Rachel (and Hanna):

This whole scene used to consist of 3 (8 extended) render which made it feel pretty awkward. Now it's 25 renders and with improved characters, items, textures, more realistic lighting and it just looks and feels a lot better in game.

On the coding side I've rewritten parts of the gallery (yet again). Firstly to simplify and improve the code, but also to add functionality and QoL features. For example, it wasn't possible to display images other than 1920x1080 pixel before, I had to manually edit the image to match that resolution. Now it's possible without any editing, which means you'll see the actual unedited renders, for example real 4k renders in the special gallery, which makes a real different when looking at them. I've also added a little zoom when you hover over the images to make it feel more reactive/less static. Images not seen in-game will show a "Not found yet" in the gallery when hovering over them.

I'm also working on making the game playable after the main story ends. 
For that, there will be repeatable scenes with all existing girls, certain events that can happen randomly and/or at specific dates and, for now, there are 4 new girls that will be available to "meet" and learn more about, once the story is finished. All of them will be introduced before and/or during the main ending (of which 3 most of you already met in game).
I won't spoil any more of that for now though, let's keep some "tension" until we're actually there ;D

Lastly, my wife finished the translation to (Brazilian) Portuguese and is currently testing everything in-game. Once everything is checked and fixed I'll release this translation on my discord and it will be included in future updates.

As for the actual release date, I sadly have no clue yet, there's just way more left to do than I expected (the story of my life) but by now I'm pretty sure it will be a split release > finish the main story, add some more content, release that, fix whatever pops up and finish the rest > full release (v1.0).

Alright, that's it for now. Feel free to ask any questions and don't forget that there's some additional stuff on my discord where I'm also usually online during the week.

Have a good one~
