Hi guys, this is Agang. PHOENIXES v9 is finally ready. Sorry for the wait.

During this update cycle, there were some perplexing issues that led to the delay. I’m still trying to figure out what the problem was and how it occurred. This is so strange, and I sincerely apologize to everyone. I will soon make a post to retrospect the whole thing and explain our development processes to you and discuss where went wrong.

As usual, there will be an extra patron reward later this month as an apology for this delay.

However, what we gained at the cost of the delay is, to date, my most satisfying update of PHOENIXES. This update has over 900 new images, making it the largest one in the history of PHOENIXES. If you are playing on PC, just check the file size of 900.pck and you will know what I’m talking about.

And at the same time, I am personally very pleased with all the scenes in this update. I believe we have reached a new height in both the quality of the narrative and visuals.

V9 update marks a new milestone in the development of PHOENIXES. The independent storylines of the girls are now beginning to weave together. Your harem fantasies are starting to become a reality.

And now let’s take a look at what we have for you in this update:

The system part (v9):

- New stat for girls: Harem acceptance level

It might sound familiar if you’ve played VIRTUES before. This stat represents my understanding and philosophy of the harem. I believe a harem is all about honesty. All the girls in your harem should know that they are not your only love. Otherwise you’d be deceiving them, and I don’t like that.

As the story progresses, your girls will become more accepting of the fact that they are sharing you with other girls, and they will have bolder actions as their Harem acceptance level gets higher.

In this update, you can increase the harem acceptance level for Heather, Cassy, Osonia, and Sorring. And you can unlock their initial harem stories once their acceptances reach 5.

- New short event type: Harem playlet

After raising certain girls’ love points to a specific level, there will be some repetitive harem playlet about them showing on map randomly. Experiencing one of such events will increase certain girls’ harem acceptance levels.

In v9, you will see the harem playlets for “Heather & Cassy” and “Osonia & Sorring.”

- New Textbox UI

We’ve redesigned the UI of the textbox and used unique colors for each girl’s name. Hopefully this will enhance your gaming experience.

New:

- Improved game guidance

Now you will be informed when there is an unlockable club upgrade.

- Some small optimizations

- After watching an event in the gallery, you will now return to the gallery screen instead of the main menu.

- More short repetitive events will now show on the map at the same time. It will help you raise the stats of the girls quicker and easier.

The system part (v8.1):

- Rewrote save system

To enhance the stability of the save system, we’ve rewritten it completely in v8.1. You might find that the thumbnails of your old saves are no longer visible, but don’t worry, you should still be able to load your old saves.

- Significantly Improved the loading speed on mid-to-low-end Android devices.

It used to take my old phone over 20s to get to the main menu after opening the game, and now it only takes 8.

The story part:

- New harem scenes for “Heather & Cassy”, “Heather & Sorring”, “Osonia & Sorring”

- New personal scenes for Alnilam, Osonia, Sorring, and Molly

- Sorring will become your girlfriend

- 900+ new images & animated scenes.

- Reworked 50+ old images with poor performance.
