Post-Release and 0.2 Info!

Hey everyone, We did it!

---------------------------------------------

Hinomori Nights is now out in the open and available for all, and you have all surprised me so much with your response!

Now that it's been up for a little bit, I wanted to take the time to mention a few things.

First, I want to thank you all for the kind words and messages you have sent me, I really appreciate it. The game has been a lot of work so far, and I have a ton of features and storyline planned for the next major update.

Before I talk about where I'm taking the game next, I want to talk about how I"m distributing the game to you all.

Currently, the main platform I"m using is itch.io. Due to an issue, the game is not showing up under search, but the link is available on the site. Because of this however, I think I need to start looking at other platforms to release the game on, mainly Steam as my first option.

So, going forward, I"m looking into becomming a steam developer and releasing the game through there as well.

I"m not sure of all of my options yet on the platform, and how I can create versions for Patrons only, so bear with me as I look into that.

My plan is to release incremental updates as I work on 0.2, which will be available to Patrons if they want to see new features early. Once each major update releases, it will be available to the public for free, so in the end the content will be free for all.

---------------------------------------------

Anyway, other then that, I want to talk about where the game is going next. If you played 0.1.2, you are aware that you can go through the first 2 days of the storyline, as well as open up the new "freetime" feature from Momo which allows you to keep playing without progressing the story.

The next update will allow you to progress the days and continue on with the story, However there is a major secret that will be revealed very soon about this next update.

I don't want to say too much yet, but the next update cycle is called:
0.2 (Underworld Update)

If you followed my previous work, you may be able to guess what will happen. For now, let's just say that the Adult tones and nature of the game will occur more in this next set of storylined days.

---------------------------------------------

In terms of free roam and gameplay, the next update has plans to allow you to meet GenneRefine your ores into ingots, go to a clothing store to purchase clothes, Take the girls available out on dates, ask 'Requests' from the girls, and officially rank up Ms. Sato Momo Haruka Ayumi and Genne all the way to rank 5 which will open up some more lewd features for you.

So there will be both Major storyline development as well as gameplay elements give to the player.

I"m already hard at work on both, and you should start to see some of that development in the next few days here on Patreon.

I also expect within the next week or so to have a first build of this for Patreon-only, if I have found the right way to distribute this to you all. 

---------------------------------------------

Anyway, that's all I got for now, hope you are all having a good weekend and make sure to tel your friends about Hinomori Nights!

Since this is no longer a Persona Parody, I"m not able to get the same attention as I had before. If you enjoy the game, it helps me out a lot for you to either leave a review on itch.io or to recommend it to friends. It really helps me out, and I appreciate it a lot.

Thanks to all of you for your amazing support, hope to hear from you all soon.
