Developer words
The development took almost a month and a half, and on the one hand it’s good, but on the other it’s not.
Positive moments:
During this time, I was able to polish the game enough, which I did not have time to do in previous updates (especially in v0.2.0). I was able to pay more attention to re-reading dialogs, post-processing renders, searching for music, testing, and coding. I was also able to add full-fledged animations to the game. It was a completely new experience for me, but for the first time I was satisfied. The animations are far from my ideal, but I'll figure it out in time.
Negative moments:
I won't hide it, but this update turned out to be a bit boring. Largely because I decided to dedicate this update to Yuki and Sara. The MC is not close enough to them yet, so the events are not very interesting. In addition, I am not a good writer and English is not my native language, so sometimes it’s difficult for me to create events that would attract most players. I hope in the future I’ll gain experience and it will become a little easier for me.
Second, the size of the update was smaller than I would have liked. This is due to the introduction of animations into the game, as they are very time-consuming (long rendering). I would call this the «project management triangle». "Quality, scope, high update rate. Choose two." At the moment, I chose quality and high update rate.
However, for the most part, I'm happy with this update. I see that the quality of the game is gradually growing and this is good.
The finale of this update will mark the beginning of a kind of main storyline (although the prerequisites for this story were in the previous updates). At the moment, the game has only the development of plot branches with girls. This is cool, but a good game should have some basic narrative line, in parallel with which the player will develop relationships with girls. I'm not going to spend too much time on this main storyline, but nevertheless, I believe it should be in the game.
In the near future I will post a lot of polls about the game, about patreon and much more.
In the meantime, enjoy new adventures inside the walls of the Pleasant Valley University.
