Biweekly update #28 (Patreon)

Game Progress
- Added Caine's chapters 27 for both passionate and innocent
- Finished Caine's 9th CG

Smaller update! I've mostly been focusing my attention on the dating system, which is getting there (I posted a video the other day). Still isn't finished yet, and when it's finished it still needs to be tested so don't expect it to be released in the next update.

Caine's route is almost finished. I'm half-way through writing his epilogue, which makes me consider adding a fake phone texting system to the game. There are periods in the story where you're texting with people on the phone, so it would be nice to see that reflected on the screen. A mock-up for example:

There's a long scene in Caine's epilogue where you're texting with him, and I figured that could get rather boring when there is no sprite on the screen, so I may pursue this new phone system. That is, if my programmer has the time.

The timeline is as follow:
- September will have Caine's chapters 25 and 26
- October will have Caine's chapters 27 and 28 (the epilogue)

The reason you're not getting 25 - 26 - 27 in one go is because 26 and 27 are basically four chapters (passionate & innocent), so it was more work for me this month. The end of a route is always quite hectic because chapters 26, 27 and 28 account for roughly 30k words (Caine's route is expected to have around 135k words) and include 3 CGs. Basically, wrapping up a route is a lot of work!

And then hopefully at that point, I can focus my attention on James' route! Exciting times to start a new character!
