Hey hey!

 Work does not stand still, every day brings us closer to the release.
At the moment, we have two locations left to finish that are included in 0.6.0.
Since there are now more NPCs in the game world, you should remember that not all of them are key NPCs, they are added for the atmosphere, so they do not have portraits in the dialogues. 0.6.0 immediately explains to the player where the plot will move at the moment and what is happening in general. Since at the very end of 0.6.0 the player will get freedom of gameplay, moving away from the linear passage, new features for the game will be gradually added to the game (the sooner - the better), because now their time has come. Therefore, starting with version 0.7.0, players will be able to earn game money, collect rare items such as photographs, panties (at the request of many players, we decided to do this), vinyl records.
Why was collecting added to the game? Well...
1. This will force the player to thoroughly explore the locations with EVERY CHARACTER (Rocky may not always notice what Stacy or Martha will notice, for example).
2. This is normal practice for such games.
3. Content.
Let's find out what such items give:
Photos:
These are photos that characters can take at some points in the game, and photos that characters can find in locations, or buy/exchange from some NPCs at some points. We hope that they can be viewed in the gallery in a special section.
Panties:
Well, I don't think there is any need to explain this :D.
Panties can be found/stealed/bought/exchanged, etc. This will be necessary to complete the game (for example, Duke's quest) and simply for those players who asked for it. Most likely, panties can also be seen in the gallery in a special section, but maybe we will come up with another option.
Vinyl records:
As you may have noticed, there is a room with a TV in Martha's house, but half of this room is empty. The player will be able to buy a record player and put it there. There will also be a collection there. At any time, the player will be able to bring all the vinyl records he/she has received so far and add them to the collection. Or the player will be able to turn on the record player and choose what he/she wants. Each record will have a small animated scene. The records are different in color (black, silver, gold, platinum).
Black - the character's memories. Pixel scenes that the player has already seen during the passage will be shown.
Silver - What happens to some NPCs/characters at the moment when the player is not around. Gold - Dreams. What the character dreams or imagines in relation to some NPCs/characters. Platinum - for now we will keep the intrigue.
Also, with version 0.7.0, the development of the combat system will begin, so at the moment we have made preparations for this.
And of course there will be mini-games.

"Hey, Gray! Why are you telling us about 0.7.0? Release 0.6.0 fiiiirst!"
Because it is impossible to do everything at once. When the player will be going through 0.6.0, he/she may encounter incomprehensible moments and rightfully ask "I met an NPC/I got a quest and... WHAT SHOULD I DO?!" Wait, my friends, you need to wait :). This is not a bug or an empty reason, it will just be implemented later. We remember every NPC and every moment in the game, so do not worry, we will not miss anything. Basically, the game bugs have the following reasons: I work in my free time and often it only happens at night, so I can miss something. For example, the passability/impassability of some paths or the names of images, etc. Sometimes RPG Maker can update the version and some functions stop working. Well, in short, this is the mechanics of the game and I am a simple person. In any case, it is easy to fix thanks to your bug reports. But as for the gameplay, everything is fine, I am telling the story correctly and you don't need to worry, I won't miss anything ;).

That's all, I continue to work.

Thanks for your support and stay tuned!
