Progress report and censorship (Patreon)

Happy new year everyone.

We have already finished the censorship and will submit to dlsite for the first round review tonight. This is my first time dealing with censorship so there is a chance that it will need some iterations until Dlsite is happy with it. One thing I have found is that the censorship gives some extra erotic feeling to the images. Once we pass the censorship test we will announce the release date.

All the basic contents are now done, including a last mini-game and two last stories in the hot spring scene. There are some more bugs to fix and I will fix them while waiting for the feedbacks from DLsite. Nothing game breaking so far(from what I know) and most of them are "small" bugs.

We now use git lfs to  manage the asset versions(uncensored and censored) and git lfs just works perfectly here. We also figured out how to use a uncensored patch to replace the censorship. Therefore, an uncensored  version is highly possible. What we might be doing is we will release a censored version and then after a week or two we will post the uncensored patch.

We now have 47 CGs, (9 of them will be added in an update), 18 live2d animations sets, 60ish pixel art animations(with 130 variations in total) and 5 short comics for ending(will be added in an update). All the three female characters are covered by voice acting.  Play time for a new player(taking everything into consideration) will be roughly 10 hours or more. A solid gameplay time will be around 4 hours ish(assume you know everything in advance and you dont need to grind any.)

In a lot of RPG games, grinding is needed to extend the play time, however, we have found that this actually have a negative impact on the experience in most of the cases. Therefore, we have removed a lot of the grinding in earning money.(You will still need to play  the delivery game but you will make a lot more money than before and also the prices for the essential items are lowered).

There is still some grinding in unlocking the skills and we will think about whether they are essetial in the next two days.
