🎉 Now I'm Lunnah — Chapter 1 Has Come to an End! Big News Ahead!
🔞 18+ NOTICE — ADULT CONTENT
Now I'm Lunnah is intended for adults aged 18 and over and may contain mature themes and adult-oriented humor. By continuing, you acknowledge that this content is intended for an adult audience.
Hey, everyone! ❤️
First of all, we want to apologize for the delay with this update and sincerely thank you for your support, patience, and for continuing to follow our work! Everyone who supports CoupleDev, whether through free membership or one of our paid tiers, is part of this journey. Thank you so much for being here with us!
And now, we have a lot of exciting news to share. Let's get started! 🚀
📖 1. The Intro Has Become Chapter 1!
Originally, everything we've created so far was supposed to be just the introduction to Now I'm Lunnah. But apparently, we got a little too excited about the project and went a bit overboard! 😂
This update includes over 900 new renders, bringing the total to more than 1,900 renders, as well as over 50 new videos, bringing the total to more than 148 videos! 🎬🔥 That's a lot of new content to explore!
So, we decided it no longer makes sense to call all this content an Intro. From now on, everything released so far will be considered Chapter 1 of Now I'm Lunnah, and this latest update marks the end of the first chapter!
But that doesn't mean the story is over. Quite the opposite!
🎮 What's Coming Next?
With Chapter 1 coming to an end, we'll finally be able to focus our efforts on developing the gameplay for Chapter 2.
Our goal is to let you decide which tasks Lunnah will complete during the different periods of the day, making your choices an important part of the gameplay experience.
We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but we'll share more news about these mechanics when Chapter 2 becomes available. We can't wait to show you what we're working on!
🎵 2. An Entirely Original Soundtrack Created by CoupleDev!
One of the biggest changes in this update is that all the music has been replaced with original tracks created by us, CoupleDev! 🎶
🎵 15 brand-new songs created specifically for Now I'm Lunnah, including 5 songs with vocals! 🎤🎶
We decided to go this route to give ourselves more creative freedom and avoid depending on third-party licenses for commercial use. It also allows us to create music that fits the characters, scenes, and emotions we want to convey.
And there's more!
🎤 Karaoke Vibe Is Here!
Whenever a song plays, a musical note icon will appear in the upper-right corner of the screen. Click it, and you'll be able to follow the lyrics in a karaoke-style display, with the words highlighted in time with the music.
That way, you'll be able to understand the message behind each song and follow along with every verse as the scene unfolds!
🖥️ 3. A Completely Redesigned User Interface!
We've also redesigned the entire user interface to give your choices a special touch and make the overall experience even more enjoyable.
We want every detail to contribute to the identity of Now I'm Lunnah, from the menus to the moments when you interact with the game.
And speaking of the visual experience, we have two more important improvements!
🚶 Redesigned Walking Animations
All walking animations have been redone! We've worked to improve how these scenes look and make the transitions feel more natural and enjoyable.
👀 You Choose How to Experience Walking Scenes!
We understand that reading dialogue while animations are moving on screen can be uncomfortable for some people, especially those who experience motion sickness.
That's why, whenever you reach a scene that uses these animations, you'll be able to choose between:
Animated Scenes: Watch the characters move on screen.
Static Renders: Follow the dialogue using still images, without the walking animations.
We want you to enjoy the story in the way that's most comfortable for you! ❤️
🌟 4. Chapter 1's Finale Brings Goodies for Everyone!
This update also marks an important change in how we distribute the game.
All our members — free members, Standard Tier supporters, and our new OMNI Tier supporters — will have access to an updated version of Now I'm Lunnah!
This update includes over 1,800 new renders and more than 50 new videos! 🎬🔥 That's a lot of new content to explore!
Let's explain how this will work.
🆓 For Free Members
Yes, you get some goodies too! 🎉
The free version will still be based on the content released previously, but it will also receive several improvements from this update, including:
🎵 The new original soundtrack.
🖥️ The redesigned user interface.
✨ Quality-of-life (QoL) improvements.
🚶 The new walking animations, which replace the old ones.
This means that even if you're following the project for free, you'll still get to enjoy some of the new features and experience an improved version of the game.
💖 For Standard Tier Supporters
The Standard Tier will remain the main way to support CoupleDev and follow Mike/Lunnah's story.
As always, Standard supporters will receive the most up-to-date version of the game, including all main story content, as soon as each update is released.
And there's good news: the Standard Tier is getting cheaper!
🔭 For Supporters of the New OMNI Tier
Along with all the visual and audio improvements, OMNI supporters will gain access to extra events that take place outside Lunnah's perspective — things she doesn't witness herself.
But what does that mean?
The supporting characters have their own lives, their own secrets, and sometimes, their own... interesting activities. 😏
Whenever one of these events becomes available, you'll be able to choose whether you want to see it or not.
At the moment, OMNI content already includes more than 150 exclusive renders and over 20 exclusive videos!
This update will feature eight OMNI events. To give everyone a taste of how the system works, the first event will also be available to Standard Tier supporters as a sample. The remaining seven events will be exclusive to the OMNI Tier.
There's just one little detail: at certain points, an OMNI event may reveal information about an upcoming event in the main storyline. We're still discussing how to handle this in the future, because we've already identified a specific point in the story where following the OMNI path could reveal an interesting secret about one of the supporting characters.
Although, judging by the hints we've dropped so far, some of you may already have an idea of who we're talking about... 😏
💰 5. The Standard Tier Is Getting Cheaper, and the OMNI Tier Is Coming!
Now let's talk about our tiers and the upcoming price changes.
💖 Standard Tier — From $5 to $3!
That's right! The Standard Tier price will be reduced from $5 to $3.
Our goal is to make supporting CoupleDev more affordable while keeping the Standard Tier as the main option for anyone who wants to follow the main story of Now I'm Lunnah.
You'll continue receiving updates with all the main story content as soon as they're released. So, if you're already supporting us through the Standard Tier, don't worry: you'll continue following the story just as before, only at a lower price! ❤️
🔭 OMNI Tier — Discover What Lunnah Doesn't See!
The new OMNI Tier is for those who want to go beyond the protagonist's perspective and discover events she doesn't witness herself.
While the Standard Tier follows the main storyline, OMNI adds exclusive events that reveal more about the lives of the supporting characters.
Here's a quick comparison of the two tiers:
Standard Tier: All main story content, with access to updates as soon as they're released.
OMNI Tier: All main story content, plus exclusive OMNI events.
As mentioned earlier, some events may contain occasional spoilers for the main storyline. We'll provide warnings when necessary as we work out the best way to handle these situations.
🚀 6. We're Almost There!
We have one last piece of news — and perhaps the most important one of all!
Development of the content for this update is complete! 🎉
We're now working on the translations and final preparations for release.
If everything goes according to plan, the update will be in your hands tomorrow!
After all this work, we're incredibly happy to finally wrap up Chapter 1 and take the next step in Now I'm Lunnah.
Thank you for being part of this journey, for your patience during the wait, and for believing in our work. Every comment, every contribution, and every person who takes the time to follow our project helps us keep creating.
Get ready, because Chapter 2 will bring a new way to play and take part in the story!
P.S. We've already created the OMNI Tier, but it's not published yet. We'll make it available when we release the new game update, most likely tomorrow, October 30! 🚀
A big hug from the entire CoupleDev team! ❤️
See you in Now I'm Lunnah! 😉
