News 10/21/2025 and Upcoming 1.5

Hello everyone, I just want to come in and talk a little bit about what's coming up for version 1.5 of Friends of mine. First of all, in light of being the largest update so far, it's also got a little subtitle:

The title may change slightly, but hopefully it gets across the idea well enough. This update will feature a new scenario, as well as a few other new little events and side storylines all centered around Twonton. The new scenario also introduces two new characters in place of where the PC parents would be:

Sofia - Claiming to be a distant cousin, she was the only person nearby to take you in after your parents passed. Though only about 10 years older than you, she's a stern woman who's easily taken on the role of a strict guardian. She's a no-nonsense kind of woman who almost seems to enjoy having others to boss around.

Thomas - A roommate that already lived here before you had to move in 6 months ago. He's often distant and isn't particularly confident, looking especially nervous in Sofia's company. It's been impossible to gauge just what their relationship is as he spends most of the time in his room.

A handful of things will have to be adjusted for the Twonton start (such as the way the witches storyline starts), but I do want it to feel more like a new way to play than the Lonely Mom scenario does. There will be plenty of other things going on around Twonton, some of which is also exclusive to this new scenario!

Following the initial release of 1.5, 1.5.1 will actually focus on the PC parents stuff, finishing up the current default scenario content with them, as well as adding more stuff to the Lonely Mom scenario, before we get back into the usual storyline rotation. This update series will have several storylines finishing up actually, so I hope that you look forward to finally getting some conclusion!

Anyway, I thank you all for your support as always! I think I will release a small update that will include of changes and quality of life stuff just to have something out while I continue working on 1.5, if so, that will be fairly soon.
