- Added Chapter 11, which enters the second (and final) phase of the game.

- "Band" and "Study" actions are replaced with little date scenes that boost love and stats for the final phase of the game.

- The conversation minigame is similarly replaced with little randomized sex scenes which also boost love but can lose you the game if you're not careful.

- Added "The Beach Scene," now the most animation-dense sequence in the entire game (especially if you are romancing everyone).

- Many new (and some old) animations now have jiggle physics, which is a big deal.

- Now you'll see Julie's jiggling jugs while jogging.

At long last, the inevitable beach episode has arrived!

In this update, the game enters its final stage. The conversation minigame and "study/band" choices are replaced with quick little dates and brief RNG sex scenes (which feature a few new animations). Careful, it is still entirely possible to lose the game during a sex scene. Don't neglect Stella.

This most recent chapter also includes the beach event, which has ALMOST as much total content as the camping event. While it is slightly shorter, it is the most high-quality and animation-dense sequence in the game. Especially if you're romancing all three core characters (Kelly, Amy, Julie). Plus, there's a fair amount of additional content in this update outside the beach scene.

Amy fans rejoice! Amy, who has generally gotten the short end of the stick compared to Kelly and Julie since the game's launch, has approximately 2-3 times as many beach CG's in this update. And arguably the spiciest scene in the game.

While working on this update, my animation skills leveled up! I learned how to use jiggle physics in a couple different ways, which in my opinion has led to some notably higher-quality animations than what I typically make.

Three of the game's past animations have also been revamped to include some jiggling, and they look quite a bit better now.

Decided to retcon the first line of the game. Instead of stating "two years of high school remaining," it's now just one year, meaning you actually graduate high school roughly when the rock band tour starts. Various lines in the game have been subtly altered to adjust for this. It really changes remarkably little about the game, but I realized with the game ending sooner than I initially intended, maybe it would be easier this way.

Finally, I have a small request for everyone. Yes, you.

I've added a new animation to the "Calibration" option on the main menu. It features a new method for displaying animations at variable rates, and I'd just like to experiment with it. However, I'm uncertain whether it will work properly on all computers/monitors of varying refresh rates.

If you would be so kind, I would honestly appreciate it if you could boot up calibration (next to the tutorial on the main menu), skip past the Amy animation and look at the Julie animation. Then, simply tell me whether or not it seems to be playing normally on your device. If it looks glitchy or messed up, tell me. IF IT LOOKS NORMAL, ALSO TELL ME. It can be as simple as "the Julie test animation looks fine." If no one says anything then I won't know.

Old saves are probably broken. I strongly recommend starting a new game.

Enjoy ~💕🎶
