Announcement for Update 0.0.4!

As I mentioned before, I initially wanted to make one big update, but I realized that would take too much time. So, I will split it into 2 parts.

Part 1 of the update will include:

Story Continuation:

• +4 and -4 supply levels for the Sergeant and the Mercenary

• 4 new scenes (+4 and -4 scenes for the Sergeant and the Mercenary)

• New dialogues (+4 and -4 scenes for the Sergeant and the Mercenary)

New Functionality:

• Quest system and navigation

• Gamification of sex scenes — they will feature a bit of gameplay + a redesigned layout for sex scenes

Various QoL improvements:

• Ability to skip time until Sunday

• Character needs are now displayed in the UI

• "Max" button for energy restoration, showing the cost for 1 unit of energy

• When allocating resources, the resulting relationship level is now shown instead of just emojis

• Clearer indication that resources will be lost if not allocated by Sunday

• You can now hold F to trade at the well or with Piglet

Balance:

• More difficult objectives (currently a draft version; polishing and testing will take a lot of time)

• Wife now restores energy once per day

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed the black screen bug when opening the shop

• Removed the ability to move during sex scenes

• Removed the ability to open the menu during sex scenes

• Fixed the anchoring for some UI elements (they should no longer go off-screen)

• Fixed a bug with buying energy in the shop — the purchase button is now inactive if you don't have enough gold

Part 2 of the update (still a rough outline):

• +5 and -5 supply levels for the Sergeant and the Mercenary

• 3 new scenes (+5 and -5 scenes for the Sergeant and the Mercenary)

• New dialogues (+5 and -5 scenes for the Sergeant and the Mercenary)

• 4 endings depending on the choices made

• Grave dialogues

• Gallery

• Mini-games / some new additional mechanics

• Dialogue translation refinement

• Balance adjustments (final version)

I've already spent 2 months on this, and it will take about another month to finish everything. That's why the update is split into two parts. Even though there won't be a huge amount of content in each part, they will be released much sooner, and I won't have to abandon my plans or rush things.

Even though I work on the game every single day without missing a day, the development pace still leaves much to be desired. I only have a couple of hours a day to solve all of the game's problems — I do everything myself, and I work a full-time job.

But your support helps me overcome all these difficulties and not give up. Thank you for your support — it's what gives me the strength to keep moving forward!
