Neural Dive v0.02 Patron Release!

UPDATE: Updated the version to v0.02b to fix an issue with Luka's affinity gain under the new system!

Whew, that took a bit huh. So we have quite a lot of stuff to go through, but at the same time not a lot? Let's see now haha, so we quite a list of stuff to go through, hopefully I actually wrote everything down in my notes instead of what I remembered at the time.

So first up, the most obvious and visually noticeable one would be that most of the girls have their sprites updated! So they have the usual layers of clothes and expressions that y'all are used to. Unfortunately, Ange (glasses girl) was not able to make it this time cause of some issues, but she'll be in the next update! So no worries! So some pictures involving her might be a bit wonky for said reason.

The rivals also have their pics done, which is a feature that can be turned off, so no worries for folks that just want something more casual haha.

Damm, look at that fat bastard. The majestic curve of his belly. That perfectly spiked hair that I have no idea why I suggested. He will be the Janitor, and his name will be Nito, full name Ja Nito, and yes I'm aware I'm good at coming up with names.

The other dude with the punchable face will the the second rival, we'll call him, uhhh, Ryuma.

Again, this feature will be something that can be switched off, it's mostly for folks who enjoy a bit of competition and showing lessers their place, hue hue hue.

So next up, the phone is technically functional now.

But it's very much a work in progress, the contacts button works while the rest, uhhh, are a work in progress, or rather don't have any purpose just yet, but I'll likely get more of them up and working by the next update.

But for now, let's dive into the contacts/ status screen.

At the start of the game, you'll only have Luka and Eiko's details, cause of obvious reasons, but as you progress, you will get more, for now only Rena is available.

And it'll provide info for the relevant girls.

So next up, we also have the stat system, it's technically already in the game, but it shouldn't be too obvious at the moment, cause there's no real use for it just yet, but it will be used for future content! There is also the option to leave the school earlier instead of spending all 3 actions there, but still pretty bare at the moment cause most of it was just a whole lot of testing haha, the plan is to have maybe some fun time scenes at home in the future.

We are also getting some "mini-sprites" done for the overworld, it's mostly to be used as something to show where they are in the overworld, something prettier so to speak than the static sprites.

As for the mini-games, they are mostly done, but I wanna do some independent balancing/ testing for now to be sure nothing breaks haha, cause we're adding quite a few into it at a go, and that could lead to a lot of issues.

So yeap yeap, no new sexy scenes yet, but definitely progress haha.

To make up for it, please accept my humble sacrifice of a gyaru sensei giving paizuri.

Oh right! Have some quick questions for y'all that I would love to know! Namely:

• What info do y'all think can be included in the status page? (Unfortunately we can't have a "training progression" of the body parts cause we really don't have budget for it

• What scaling do y'all want the stats to be at? 100? 50? We will be getting different difficulties of training that give diff amount of stats.

• What do y'all hope to see more of in the game?
