I'm so sorry that once again we're a few hours late in releasing the update compared to the originally scheduled time. We'll make a special patron reward later this month as compensation, could be wallpapers or stickers.

In v7 update, we implemented many new features and reworked many old ones, which brought us a lot of challenges. Up until one hour ago, we were still grappling with a bug that caused the game to crash during saving. Fortunately, all issues have been resolved now, and we are ready to present you with the v7 update.

Now let’s take a look at what we have for you this time (many have been included in the mid-update report already so the introduction would be similiar):

The Story:

In our development plan, we divided the game’s development into various stages, and the focus of our updates is different with each stage. In the first stage, our focus was on building the world and setting up the relationships between MC and girls. During this time, as the story was just unfolding, we couldn’t provide too much lewd content in each update. And now, with the arrival of v7, the game has entered the next stage.

In this second stage, as MC develops romantic relationships with more and more girls, you can expect more lewd content in each update, and there will also be more new girls introduced into the game.

- Alnilam

In this update, you’ll get a more comprehensive understanding of this most controversial girl in the game. You’ll know about her tough past, the reasons behind her turning into a villain, and the sadness beneath her bitchy personality. I don’t mean to whitewash her or anything. She is a bad woman that does bad things, nothing can excuse her wrongdoing. The way MC interacts with her will be different from with any other girl. It will be more about conquering and taming her than about deepening their love for each other.

- Juliana

Juliana’s plots will continue with a focus on her growth. You’ll be the witness and guide as she gradually becomes stronger.

In the previous updates, Juliana was probably the most marginalized main girl because this girl seemed to be a little bit too normal and didn’t have many labels on her. But as the story enters a new stage, in this update you will get to know some information about her unknown background which might be exciting.

- Kemuri & Osonia& Sorring& Yamir

There will also be a battle between the order camp and the wild puppy girl. You’ll participate as part of this fight and get to see your girls showing more of their fighting skills.

New Features:

- New mission type: Mission Support

In the next few updates, we will be adding more ways to increase girls’ love points and bring a more engaging, less grindy, and less repetitive gaming experience for you. A new mission type will be the first step. You can now unlock Mission Support in the club upgrades screen after your club reaches level 3.

Completing one Mission Support will increase the certain girl’s love point and the club’s fame at the same time.

- New interrogation option: Yamir

In v7, you will finally be able to arrest the puppy girl that messed up the underground order of the slums. Now it’s time to start the interrogation! Each time of interrogation will raise her submissiveness point.

However, she will inevitably escape after 5 times of interrogation, just like every other supervillain. Don’t worry, you’ll be able to hunt her down again in the near future.

- New patron privilege: Unlock all the gallery scenes

I receive requests from patrons who want to get a “save that unlocks all the gallery scenes” every now and then, so I decided to make it a $5 patron privilege in the game. Just type the code in the gallery and everything will be unlocked for you.

- New bedroom: Alnilam’s room

A harem master won’t just sleep in the same room every night. In v7, sometimes you will spend the night in Alnilam’s room (though you might not want to.) There will be more girls’ bedrooms available in the future.

Optimizations:

- Completely fixed the crash issue on low-to-mid-end Android devices

We have consistently received reports of crash issues on mid-to-low-end Android devices since the first version of the game. Throughout this year, we have made a lot of efforts to optimize the Android version with each update. However, the results have been consistently disappointing.

I want to sincerely apologize to everyone who has experienced this issue. It was solely due to our insufficient understanding of the Godot engine, and we take full responsibility for it.

However, in v7, it will no longer be a problem anymore. There will be absolutely NO crashes when loading animated scenes. The FPS during animated scenes may drop a bit if your CPU is way too entry-level though, but absolutely no crash anymore.

If you think your CPU should be fine, yet still having the FPS problem, please let me know!

- improved the loading time for the Android version after launching

we noticed that many Android users (even with mid-to-high-end devices) might have had to endure a black screen for over 20 seconds after starting the game before accessing the main menu. In v7, the waiting time has been reduced greatly. It might still be quite a while on low-end devices, but there won’t be a black screen anymore (so at least you will know the game is not dead.)
