G'Day Friend~!

Hope you're enjoying the fireworks and freedom tonight! Do people still do fireworks anymore? I don't know, this year's been weird. And if you don't do fireworks on July 4th, then I just hope you're having a pleasant evening. :)

[ Storyline Choice Scenes in Action ]

So what's up? :D

So if you've been following the development lately, you'll probably already know what's gone into this build. Basically, we're mostly putting in the meat of the game, which is the storylines you go through with the waifus. With this build, you can see how each story develops and how your choices influence the ending you get. If you want a bit more detail into that, you can check up on the Progress Updates (Pt.1 and Pt. 2).

[ All the main waifu storylines packed and ready to go~ ]

A Quick Heads-Up!

Now because this was a giant dump of content, we're at the point where there's gonna be A LOT OF JANK in the game. So please be warned!

There's gonna be weird animations, poor gameplay balancing and in general, lots of broken little things. Like an example, Donna's sprite shows up at the end when it's supposed to be her Dad talking. And it goes beyond technical stuff. Expect edits to the writing and dialog as well as we continue to tighten and finish the game. 

Our game's in that weird emo teenage phase where you're like super awkward and want to stay in your dark bedroom, avoiding all social interactions with real life people. Usually this is where I get vulnerable and keep things to myself, but this time you guys get access to that bedroom. :p

But because of all of that, please let me know if you found any bugs or have any thoughts/feedback on anything (whether that's game balance, dialog or anything). This is the time for that kinda stuff!

[ New GOD-MODE debug features added ]

[ Comparison shot of the technical "engine" refactor work that's been going on as well ]

---

Awesome! What's coming next?

So besides writing, dialog and animations, expect just a constant dump of content incoming, whether that's the art, voices and the storylines of our new waifus. It's time to just shovel all that content in~!

Aside from all the surface stuff you see as a player, there's actually been lots of under-the-surface engine work going on too. In fact, most of the work I crunched a couple days ago was just that. That includes the new (much needed) god-mode tools to help debug the game in the coming days (which you can find in the God-Mode Build).

There was a lot of personal learnings that I made during the crunch that I will be making a devlog about, so if you're interested in the more technical side, look out for that as well~

[ "Thank you!" ]

---

Thank you~!

Lastly, if you haven't already, please please fill out the 2-minute Feedback Survey as it will help me gauge what kind of things I can do for you going forward. Big thanks to those who already have! :D

Anyways, it's back to the cave for me, gotta keep the ball rollin'~

Much luv~
