Neon Drink

Hey! Today I don't have that much to report on, except for the fact that the planning is still ongoing.

I'm facing a difficult issue at the moment which is figuring out how many scenes to include up to entering the Night Club, and I might actually have to make a poll on this.

For every new scene/animation we may add, development time to reach the Night Club increases, but at the same time if we have too few scenes it'll seem barebones. If I had more time, I'd try to be a bit more ambitious with ideas such as some animations in the "training phase" to infiltrate the Night Club to have more interactivity, similar to old NSFW flash games if you ever played them.

An interesting mechanic would be reaching X score with each type of scene in order to be able to progress, but again, that implies additional development time. Maybe I'll keep things simple and try to have at least 6 animations and a few static scenes along the way until the Night Club, that'd probably be a reasonable compromise.

I've also received more bug reports and I thank everyone who submitted an issue via the report form, so far nothing critical but one where Emma loses her hair (something many of us are afraid of, right?) because I changed the visual system for the chibi.

There's also the one reported on Chinese Huawei devices and unfortunately my phone even when switched to Simplified Chinese runs the game fine. I wish I was able to contact the reporter to get some clarifications on what happens because it's not clear from the bug report.

So yes in conclusion I'm very serious about fixing any bugs and creating fun content in the City, but things are a bit slow at the moment with some allergies acting up and ruining my sleep but I push on!

I hope you'll have a pleasant weekend!
