Dev Diary #2 - "The First Course" Arc - 0.7.0

Hey everyone,

Another week! I'll keep things short this time.

As you know, most of this week went into story architecture. Mapping out character arcs, key choices, and how the affection system feeds into scene variations without creating a branching nightmare for future me...

0.6.1 Patch:

Releasing a small patch this week for Platinum/Can't Wait tiers. Minor fixes, some trims, and a couple of extra CGs based on feedback. Nothing that changes the story or warrants a replay.

This is normal housekeeping, it also sets things up for a public version in a few weeks.

Production:

Resuming this week! Will have more specific progress to share next Sunday.

I know the timeline question is on everyone's mind given how long the last cycle took. I'm not giving specific dates yet but the goal remains shorter, more focused updates.

Reading through community feedback has been interesting. There's a lot of excitement about where things are heading and also some amusing debate about characters (a lot of focus on the proportion of certain body parts...) and general direction.

I see those discussions. All I'll say is: the affection system exists for a reason, some past choices will need minor retro-fitting but player decides how far they will go with each character.

More next week.

Cheers,
Tori
