Hello there! We indeed have much to go about^^

Let's kick this off with what's been done and is functional.

Week System:

Here is how the week system pans out, this is a layout of the accessible locations and whereabouts of the characters.

Planning:

 Legend:

Emotional Sprites:

A grand total of 32 animated sprites have been done & imported in the game (4 per character).

The character sprites follow this template showcased through Takahashi:

                                 Idle:

                                  Talking: 

                              Smiling Blush:

                                         Angry:

sidenote: These gif. examples are locked at 16fps! 

The in-game character sprites have been improved with staggering 4096x4096 pixels Texture Atlases for every single one of them, the framerate also has been improved from 24fps to 60fps.

Depending on the day Mia & Emi have different clothing. They both have a "casual" and a "swimsuit/bikini" variation.

Let's move onto the things that are being actively worked on and being implemented!

Story:

The story has always been a crucial yet missing piece of this project, and with this update, you’ll finally get to experience it firsthand. Through a dynamic in-game event, you.. yes, you will be at the heart of the narrative. Once triggered, this event will set you on a clear path, giving you a purpose that unfolds the deeper mysteries of this cozy, immersive, and undeniably passionate world.

Quests:

The quest system is all about your choices. You'll take on tasks that the girls personally ask of you, or you can go your own way and complete things entirely on your own. Either way, every action you take will shape your relationships, earning affection points with the characters you connect with and yes, that means unlocking some exciting scenes along the way.

How to start a quest?:

• When you're interacting with a character, you'll see the option to start a quest but only if you've met the right conditions. If not, the option simply won’t show up. It all depends on your choices and progress, making each interaction feel more natural and rewarding!

How to buy specific items (gifts or quest related)?:

• You'll need money that you can earn working at Takahashi's Thrift Shop.

• You’ll be able to ask Takahashi to order items for you, but don’t expect instant gratification, there will be a delay between placing your order and picking it up. You can find her in her office only on Mondays and Fridays, so if you request something on Monday, you’ll have to wait until Friday to get it. And fair warning… Takahashi knows you need to go through her, and she just might use that to her advantage.

• Find them: You might stumble upon items that you can simply pick up.

Affection Based Dialogues & Scenes:

This one’s pretty simple.. your relationships matter. If your affection level is low, conversations might feel cold or even a little tense. But as you build stronger bonds, interactions will become more natural, engaging, and let’s be honest… a lot more fun. Plus, the closer you get, the more you'll unlock quests, special scenes, favors, and even new intimate moments.

That’s a wrap for now! We’re pouring so much into this update to finally make this project feel like a real game. What a journey it’s been… and it’s only just beginning! Your support has been nothing short of incredible, and we’re beyond grateful. Because of you, we’ve grown, leveled up our skills, and can’t wait to bring you even more. This wouldn’t be possible without you, our amazing Patrons.

From the bottom of our hearts… THANK YOU! ❤️
