Update - Kitty Shizu (Patreon)

tl;dr - I've added an option to refuse Hirai outright and I'm working a bit on the future project.

This week's images

These Shizu pics are from the upcoming Shizu ending that I'm working on. How do you think that tail is attached...? I threw in an alternate pose and the "hover" version. Those are in 4K, so click on them for the full detail.

In addition to that, I threw in a little render I made of Fumi from PAL, just to give her some new morphs like I did for the other maids, as well as a 4K nude of her with the new morphs as well. I also played with the headband texture on that one, although you can't really tell that well on the upscaled version. If I'd been more skilled when I first designed Fumi I would have probably done something like that with her headband.

Adding an option to refuse Hirai outright

While I assumed it was easy enough in the game to just ignore Hirai if you wanted to opt out of that content, some people have seemed to find that aggravating, so I considered that maybe the difference is that in PAL you could outright tell Hiroshi no, which might have allowed a psychologically different feeling about the possibility.

Now you'll have the option to specifically block the content on the first conversation with Hirai on day 7. If you don't then the game is exactly as before, but if you do then the button to call Hirai will be gone and he won't turn up for his second scene or be a conversation option with the ladies.

Taking some time for the future project

I've had a lot of promo and bug fixing to do for PAT over the last week, but I've also been trying to put some time aside for work on the future project. It's in a kind of awkward place at the moment where I can't really work on programming scenes into the game yet and there are a couple of bottlenecks in development that are slowing things down, so I'm twiddling my thumbs, somewhat.

That said, this pause does give me the opportunity to play around with the writing a bit, which is needed, and to think a bit more about the gameplay. The game's structure will resemble something like PAL somewhat, although it's not a text game, but also it's going to diverge fairly heavily and do a lot of stuff I've never done before, while changing the pacing and emphasis of the gameplay in some ways.

What do you think of Shizu's costume? And what about the Fumi morphs? Do you plan to take the opt-out Hirai choice? Let me know in the comments below!
