ZBZ Dating (alpha update 1.4.0) (Patreon)

HELLO TO YOU, did I get your attention? This update changes an important element of the gameplay. The calendar is gone, you are free to choose where you want to go. You leave your room and get a map of the city, chose a building and see what you can do. It is limited for now, you have the outside places, the shops, the spa and the places where you must go to progress in the story. Briefings with Miranda have been removed, you can still visit her in the spa. The tasty animations have been removed too.

There are three moments during a day.

• Morning: You can do whatever you want.
• Middle: You can shop, massage feet once or do the event of the day to progress in the story.
• Night: You can just go to the dorm and sleep for a new day.

If you massage feet or do the event of the day to progress in the story, it will become the night. If you do an activity to raise your sanity or clean shoes during the morning, it will become the middle. Shopping doesn't change time.

Tip: Start with an activity in the morning and do the important stuff in the middle. Or do the imortant stuff only, you can finish the game faster than before.

The graphics for the city aren't done yet and I would like to add more interesting things to do in the city. The shoe cleaning job is almost finished, I have reworked all the shoe graphics to make them look more consistent.

Last poll showed that the game was grindy and I want to avoid making a grindy game. There are still some aspects that can be annoying but the "meat" around it should become more tasty with the freedom of the city and the new things that could be added with it. 

If the grind you feel comes from the dialogues, that is another problem.

What is new:

• The option gift doesn't use an action point anymore, you can gift everything to a girl and keep talking with her after that
• Finish the game with Amanda
• Ending picture with Amanda made by artist
• "Open world" gameplay with city, calendar removed
• Shoe cleaning: graphics changed for the shoes, you can clean Samantha's shoes
• Gym locker spying: A meter will help you to understand if you are doing a good job or not, shoe variant for Avril
• Sanity activity: Four new variants, Amanda park, Avril bar, Paige gym, Takako museum
• Your room will look dirty when your sanity is below zero
• Other things not important

The chances of bugs are high with this version. If you encounter something breaking the game, let me know.

You can see the progress there: google sheet 

First thing to do, check out the ending picture for Amanda *_*
