We apologize for the radio silence over the past few weeks, but work on the 0.22 release is still ongoing and on schedule. We’d like to give you an update on the game's current status and progress.

As usual, we plan to release an update consisting of three animations: two story-based animations and one stand-alone animation (not part of the main story).

However, the story involving the two animations is proving to be a bit complex, as we want to expand the arc of a character who has remained quite mysterious until now. We're taking great care to develop her story in a way that feels natural and not forced.

As for the stand-alone animation, we're considering that it might be time for our MC to start going on regular dates with another girl—just like he currently can with Felicia. It feels like the right moment for someone new to join that dynamic. However, as we’re writing, we're exploring the possibility that the MC could potentially date two new girls instead of just one! Still, we need to be mindful of time and budget constraints to ensure we develop a satisfying story—not just create content for the sake of it.

We’re aiming to release the update in mid-May, keeping within the 45–50 day window between updates. We greatly appreciate the continued patience and support from all our players—especially our Patreon supporters, who are an essential part of this team.

After finishing version 0.21, we're now working on continuing the game!

In our last survey, we asked who you would like to see us expand the story on, and Lillian won hands down. A year ago, nobody paid attention to her, but after seeing her enormous... potential... in her Halloween costume, many players got curious, thinking, "What's up with this girl?" She's a character whose story we'd already determined before the game started but hadn't given ourselves the task of expanding. However, her story is a bit more complex than usual, so little by little, we've been preparing to begin it. 

In the next update, we'll be moving more of our pieces around like a chess game, and we'll be placing them in a way that allows us to properly set the stage to begin Lillian's story.

Likewise, one of the reasons why we halted the possibility for the player to invite some girls on dates is because, according to the story we've been telling, the places where the player can invite some girls were the Club, the Pub, and the Carnival. But, let's be honest, the Pub and the Carnival really aren't the best places to "warm up" before a crazy night. The only place is the Club, but since that's where Amy, Sophie, and Chloe work, and it's a place where Ginger and Frida frequent, we couldn't simply take more girls there without the risk our MC shooting himself in the foot. But thanks to the fact that we can now go to the Exclusive Club, we can now invite other girls out on dates without risking messing up the story. However, we still have one more place to unlock, which we will do in the next update. From the image in this post, you can already imagine what place it is.

We hope that version 0.22 will be ready by the second half of May, and we take this opportunity to thank all of you for your preference and all the suggestions you send us regarding the game. Believe us, we read and analyze each and every one of them. We have taken many ideas from what you send us, and thus, we create a game that we all enjoy and look forward to!

A fix-release version has been launched to solve some issues of the game that, for some reason, are appearing to some players.

We don't know what caused this, such as the Business Center being inaccessible, even though we've already visited that location before (for the Gala event), but we've taken steps to ensure that, once you need to go to the Business Center, you can do so without issue.

The fixes made were as follows:

• Fixed the problem that appears when you want to collect Roses
• Fixed issue where if you didn't choose an ending while with Blair, it would show an error.
• At the end of Felicia's event, the to-do list still showed some items.
• Some players are unable to access the Business Center, so we've added a code that will reopen access.
• Some players have had their Compass and Flashlight disappear from their inventory. They will reappear.

We apologize for any inconvenience this error has caused you, and we appreciate your patience.

It took us a little longer, but thanks to a beta-player, at the very end, we were finally able to fix a bug that has been plaguing us for a few years regarding Ashley's story. We believe we were finally able to fix it. Basically, if you go on a date with Frida the same weekend you are meeting Ashley at the arcade, the variables would become tangled.

In this update, we're returning to the standard two-story version with three sexy scenes and also including a panties scene that we've been putting off for so long.

We're currently creating the story for version 0.22, which will bring us a little closer to Lillian's story, as she's a complicated character and will require some understanding before we dive right in. In this update, we've already taken a few steps toward her story.

A great many thanks to all the players who follow us month after month, and many thanks to our sponsors, whether on Patreon, Subcribestar, Itch, Spicygaming, or Boosty. It is thanks to your help that we can continue creating this project!

We remind our Patreons that if you have any questions regarding the story, you can check out the walkthrough where we explain step by step what has to be done to achieve the desired objective, and if you are not a Patreon, the information on our wiki has already been updated to include the latest version of the game.

Thanks and... Happy clicking!!! =^.^=

In our next release, we will do some tweaking to the mobile version of the game. This is a bit tricky, because it sometimes depends on the phone's screen resolution for the graphics to look a certain way. But, we will make the adjustments in a general resolution. Hopefully, it will look right for everyone playing on their Android.

One change that we were asked for, (and we are surprised that it took us so long to add), is the ability to skip previously seen dialogues or go back up to 30 steps.

It is important to mention that at some points in the story, you cannot go back. This is to give the game a bit of complexity, since some decisions that the player makes cannot be retracted.

We are still waiting for Apple to open its market to be able to offer the iPhone version, but Apple does not allow adult games in its App Store, and applications cannot be installed onto an iPhone outside of the App Store. And although, according to a resolution issued by the European Union, Apple must open its market to other app stores, but that resolution has not yet progressed. In the meantime, we are still waiting.

Many thanks to all players across all versions of the game, especially our Patreons, for their support!

Even though we know it's a fact that the game won't be ready before February 14th, we can't pass up the opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day. However, since our MC is a total Casanova, it will be difficult to decide which of all his love interests he will celebrate Valentine's Day with.

Which of all the girls do you think would be the best to spend Valentine's Day with?

Well, that question will be answered in the next release, which we plan to release at the end of this month, and we hope that this time, we can meet the date!

Many thanks to all the players who follow the development of this game, especially to our Patrons for their invaluable support which makes this project possible!

Since our last update, some users have informed us that there is a critical error at the end of the Gala event: After sleeping, it moves the character to the school without being able to leave.

This error was caused by the code cleanup, and we forgot to consider a scenario, but, it has been resolved.

If you have already passed the Gala event, you don’t need to update the game, but if you haven’t reached that point or are stuck there, it is extremely important that you download this update.

We used this opportunity to fix other minor bugs that don’t affect the game's playability but they can be a bit annoying.

We apologize for any inconvenience this error has caused you and we appreciate your patience.

We've updated the links on Itch, so that if you purchased version 0.20, you won't have to pay again to download version 0.201, and we've also updated the links on Boosty, so that if you purchased access to the post where you can download version 0.20, you won't have to pay again.

We are already working on our next update in which we will focus part of the story on a character which has been due for some time, Blair! We will use this character to introduce another one who was also commissioned by another Violet-Level Patreon. Her name is Kallen, who will become Lillian's rival in grades and P.E. as her story develops.

Also, we will expand on two of the initial character's stories, one of them has been left behind and should have had a greater participation in the Halloween release, but due to time limits, we had to cut out.

I believe that, for the time being, we will press pause on creating more love interests for our MC. We need to focus on the love interests we already have and expand their stories. This does not mean there will not be new characters, simply that they will play a less important role for the moment. We will introduce new love interests once we believe ALL the characters have had significant development, or at least all the characters requested... (Sorry, Rati)

We still have one more character to introduce who will also be a part of Lillian's story (but that one is for a future release), and we will stop the creation of the MC's love interests.

We are ever grateful for your constant support and feedback. It allows us to improve the quality of our product. In a couple of months, we will begin working on a second game, which we will present to you once we have a more defined concept.

Once more, thank you all!

Starting with the next update, we'll use player stats more often. We've been putting this aside, but to be able to approach future girls, you'll need to have certain stats. However, depending on the type of girl, the stat you need will be different.

An example of this (and the only one we've used so far), is strength, which is required to date Jessie, but in the future, some girls will require a certain stat level, or maybe even two.

This is how they are increased:

• Strength: Go to the gym or train with Kana.
• Intelligence: Go to classes in school.
• Confidence: Successfully complete dates.
• Stamina: Go for a run with Jessie on the beach or train with Kana.
• Charm: We still don’t know, but it will require to sweet talk some girls.

This will add a little more playability to the game, since, as we have repeated on several occasions, we are not a Visual Novel where the player simply presses "next" and scenes are unlocked by themselves. In our game you have to struggle, even if only a bit to keep things interesting. :D

We want to thank our Patreons who constantly help us, and we want to take this opportunity to let you guys know that, apart from the newly commissioned character Blair, there are two more coming thanks to our Patreons who have paid for them. So, there is still a lot of content on the way!

Thank you all very much!
