Ep4 Dev Update 31/03/2024 (Patreon)

Happy Sunday! And oh, Happy Easter!

Hope you've had a wonderful week! I sure have.

Writing - Nearing completion!

This week I finished writing Naomi's story, as well as create new sprite sets for many of the characters.

Naomi will be getting more and more bold in her wrestling career. Along with using the serum more and more for her fights, she also asks for the player's help to build out her social media presence - Important for building her wrestling brand.

Her opponents however, don't take kindly to her quick rise in the wrestling world, earning Naomi some enemies. Will the serum remain a secret to her success?

Naomi's wrestling outfit has been updated to this leotard, hope you like it!

New mechanics!

Added retroactively into EP3 are events that trigger if the player ignores his girlfriend - your girlfriend will text you regularly with increasing desperation. If you do not meet with her or advance her level beyond level 2, she will initiate a breakup with you in ep4.
If you reach level 3, you can plead with her to give you another chance.
If you reach level 4, the breakup scene will never trigger.

However, if you've cheated on your girlfriend, you will be able to choose to dump your girlfriend on date 5 - causing some crying and heartbreak.

Expanded mechanics: Classroom scenes

Added to ep4 as well as ep3 (retroactively) are classroom scenes similar to what you've seen before. Where teacher Mrs. Jiro will ask the class stuff and the player has a chance to earn some skill points by answering right. These scenes feature banter with Hino, Saya, Manami, and Miyu. In the ep4 scenes, Saya and Manami will be enhanced, prompting some fun reactions from classmates as well.

These scenes are completed and fully playable.

Release?

We're getting closer and closer to a playable version of the game. The scripts are close to being all finished, and most of the character sprites are in the works.

I hope to have a beta in April, with the final release in late April or early May (again things can change! I appreciate your patience!). Things that needs to be tested are: Girlfriend mechanics (breaking up, dumping, and making other girl your new girlfriend), and all the new scenes to make sure they trigger properly. There are about a 100 ways this could break so testing with the help of the community will be huge!
