Ep4 dev update 19/05/2024 (Patreon)

Happy Sunday! Hope you're doing great!

Saya is finished and Haruka is close to being finished! We're so close to the big ep4 complete release!

Saya is a great character and I am excited for you all to play her route. She struggles to balance her life with the serum.

 Additionally, Saya got a whole new set of basic sprites as I wasn't happy with her other ep4 beta sprites. Here is a shot with the 4 girls together, and they look more coherent next to each other:

 Here is Naomi, in Saya's route. If you have given her the serum too, you get some extra dialogue. 

Here you can see some dialogue variation based on who is your girlfriend in a story scene:

 If you're not dating anyone:

 Speaking of coffee!

We only have one girl to be finished before the grand release.

 Haruka will get new sprites as well -and you may see some familiar faces when working at the coffee shop.

I can't say for sure when release is out but I have a few scenes left to do with Haruka before all the routes are finished. Then I just need to polish some things up. If all goes well, ep4 will be out by next Sunday! I will work to make it sooner than later!

hype hype hype!

Announcement:

Since this week I've been doing more behind the scenes and patreon involvement in the 'super-supporter-channel' on the discord.

What you are looking at is me offing super supporters and ultra supporters a chance to voice their thoughts on the new sprites for Saya.

I also share screenshots and insight that otherwise doesn't get shown in the dev update posts - and give you a chance to offer feedback. So far super supporter feedback has influenced Saya's final sprites! Thanks guys!

This character got named Minori thanks to Legion. As we use reactions to count as votes or approval.

Why am I doing this?

Because I promised Super and Ultra tiers to be able to vote in polls for future girls. However I don't have any plans to add more girls at the moment. Plus the polls slow down the workflow significantly - where I wait a week for results before I can move ahead with a design.

So instead I am actively sharing the development process near-daily(haven't missed a day yet!) in the super channel on the discord.

If you're a super member, make sure to check Discord to not miss out on this awesome membership benefit! I will post there regularly with what I am working on!

That's it for this weeks update! Ep4 dropping soon! Stay tuned. Thank you for your patience.
