🎬 DLC Exclusive Scene

"Who would ever be interested in a fat girl like me?" — Watanabe Maru

Added a new scene in LustLink (Notebook): This month's Exclusive Scene features Watanabe Maru. As for who the male character is with her... you'll just have to play the game to find out!

This exclusive scene is available in Lust Link under the new SP (Special) Scene Mode (Playing this will not consume AP).

The SP Scene Mode is designed for future special chapters that aren't part of the main story. Unlike the standard Lust Link mode (which currently has no story or dialogue), these SP scenes will feature dialogue, background music, and a narrative just like regular in-game scenes—they just won't impact the main plot. (Note: In this specific DLC, there is no dialogue yet, as it is actually a sneak peek of a scene from Patch 0.07. You can read the full version in the next patch!)

⚙️ Other Updates:

• Adjusted the patch ending point: The playthrough now ends at the school entrance on the morning of Day 2. (Note: Players on v0.06.51 will still end after the first night in the bedroom. If you have already played the original v0.06.5, there is no new story progression here).

• Visual improvements: Tweaked and polished about 6-7 images in the early scenes.

For those without VIP, don't worry! This scene will definitely be included in the upcoming Patch 0.07.

Added the main story PE class scenes in the old gym.

Sakurai Kasumi The Class President of Class 2-C and Yuta's classmate

⚙️ Currently Working On

The Main PE Class in the Old Gym: I am implementing 8 physical fitness tests and 10 mini-games.

8 physical fitness tests and 10 mini-games.

The first completed mini-game is the warm-up and stretching session to reduce the risk of injury before exercising.

You will notice an Injury Risk Bar at the top showing a very high injury percentage. As I have announced multiple times (even before you start the game), the screen functions and mini-games are built to reinforce the narrative. Yuta is an overweight gamer who never exercises, so his chances of getting injured during physical activity are extremely high at first. However, this risk can be lowered by increasing your STR status and properly warming up before working out.

Next up are the exercise mini-games. The ones I'm currently working on focus heavily on rhythm/timing and maintaining balance.

During the warm-up, hitting the right cues will decrease the injury percentage, but missing them will increase it. The difficulty depends on your STR and AGI stats (it will get progressively easier as you upgrade your stats—for example, the running indicator will slow down, and the target Safe Zone will widen).

This Injury Risk value will then be used to calculate your chances of getting hurt when playing the other 8 exercise mini-games (like dumbbell lifting, squats, etc.).

📖 A Note on Game Design & Story Philosophy

Story-wise, this physical test is just a preliminary assessment by the new homeroom teacher, Ozawa Haruka.

It will not affect your final exam grades (unlike the main story objective, where you must score well in all subjects to progress to the next chapter in the second semester).

In the main story, Yuta will fail a lot and be quite terrible at this. I intentionally made these ten mini-games difficult to accurately convey Yuta's real struggles. I know some people will complain about the mini-games—especially those who only care about winning and ignore the narrative context the game is trying to convey. But rest assured, they will get easier as you train and increase your stats later on.

This is the storytelling style of this game: "Character development that the player can actually feel and experience firsthand." It’s not just a writer making up excuses or creating throwaway mob characters for the protagonist to beat up just to show he's getting stronger, simply to pander to modern media trends.

This game uses mini-games to directly communicate Yuta's hardships to the player, allowing you to gradually feel his growth as the gameplay becomes easier. Naturally, some people will love this and some will hate it. There is no right or wrong approach in game design or media. (This is simply the path I, LuxElly, have chosen for storytelling, and I will stick to it, even if I get criticized for it).

That being said, whether you fail, get injured, or clear the mini-game perfectly, there is tailored story content to support every single outcome (based on the previous story routes you took).

🏁 Final Thoughts

Even though my passion is back at over 100% and I'm working at full speed, version 0.07 won't be coming out anytime soon. I apologize in advance for the wait. I will announce further progress updates as they come.

Additional Note: For those who want daily updates (I'm very fired up lately and have been sharing sneak peeks almost every day!), besides Discord, you can now follow
Facebook Group here

This is perfect for those who don't use Discord. I prefer not to post these micro-updates on Patreon too often so I don't spam your notifications.

Thank you everyone for supporting The Asmodeus Eyes.

— LuxElly

P.S. I apologize for the double post (and the extra notification!). My previous post was taken down because of the images showing Maru and other characters in their underwear. The funny thing is, these are just normal underwear pictures that you can post pretty much anywhere else—I posted the exact same images and clips on Facebook with zero issues.

Because of this, a lot of the preview images are now missing. I'll just post a fresh, complete July Dev Log for TAE 0.07 later on. For now, let's just keep this post focused on the TAE 0.06.6 patch update!
