Sneak Peeks
Hey guys, it has been a while since the last post. Today, I've prepared this to show you what has been added to the game. Let's start with a few Quality of Life changes.
TECHNICAL
A "hint have changed" indicator has been added to the character profiles:
Has it occurred to you that, you've been focused on a character and out of nowhere, the progress stops and her hints tell you to focus on someone else for the moment? You get to it and start doing other things in the game, while checking the first girl's profile again and again, to check if her hints have changed?
Well, I took a bit of time and added this function to, hopefully, make having to check for new hints, less tedious.
Now, when the hints of a character change, it'll show a small "!" on her profile picture. When you click on her face, it'll go away. And it'll return again when her hints change. So, whenever you hit a sudden "focus on someone else" (or similar) stop, you can confidently focus on reading other hints and only go back to this girl when a "!" appears. Saving you a few clicks of constant checking.
I've also replaced the "no more content" heart to match the "hints changed" icon. In my opinion, this one is cuter too.
A new Extra Hints Menu has been added to MC's character screen:
Harem Residence has some events I like to call "Extra". For example, Café Platinum or Aurora Massage Parlor. These events are skippable. They are there for you to enjoy if you want, and are useful to farm money, stats, and eventually an achievement (which permanently increases the passive weekly income).
These events are intended to be surprise ones. You suddenly find them by chance, or hear from them from another player. However, I've had many requests of adding hints for these. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to add them as optional. The intended way is to play the game without them, but if you really want them, you can ask the Mysterious Heroine Vi to enable them.
REWORKED EVENTS
In previous updates, I reworked some older events of the game. For example, running into a naked Chitose in the bathroom (prologue). Kasumi's first lewd event. Meeting Fumiko for the first time. MC, Ayase and Kasumi watching TV, and so on...
This time, I reworked the very first Sunday event. When MC and Ayase enter Kasumi's room to wake her up.
I've also reworked earlier lewd events, specifically Ayase and Kasumi's (individually). If you want to check the lewd events without having to restart, you can always use the Memories' function of each girl.
NEW CONTENT
The next update will feature two new Extra events for you to find and enjoy, each featuring a new romanceable character.
The first is Anna. An attractive, yet mysterious woman whose story revolves around the Waifu Collector gacha mini-game. Her purpose is to give players, who have been collecting the cards, another method of obtaining them. Since I plan to keep adding more cards to obtain with each update, trying to pull all of them in the gacha mini-game can (and will) turn annoying. With Anna, you'll be able to purchase directly the cards you're missing. It'll be pricey compared to purchasing a pack in the store, but like I said, it's just another method.
Completing Anna's route will award players unique cards, an achievement, and a boost to the weekly passive income.
Yes, in the next update, collecting cards will grant a passive bonus to your weekly income. And clearing Anna will boost said bonus. Also, next update adds more cards in the gacha, with the girls doing cosplay and similar.
The second girl has a sightly different purpose than other Extra characters. To progress with her, you'll have to revisit locations you have been before. You'll have to find her first to see what I mean~
Chitose got her "Interactions" menu added.
Mako got new content~
Aoi also got new content, and through it, you'll meet a new character~
And the focus of the next update, the Suzuki women~
In the next update, you'll be able to continue the Suzuki storyline. Being able to spend time individually with each one of them. Learning a bit more of their lives, and their past. And taking big steps towards fixing the relationship between Maya, Miya and Meiya. It's a rather large event that'll take you several in-game weeks to complete~
The next update will also introduce some fixes here and there. Tweaked hints. Quite a bit of proofreading. More content. And more~
The update isn't quite ready yet. I'd say I'm around 75~80% of completion. I keep working in the game every day, so please have a bit of patience.
And that'll be all for today's post. Take care during these holidays. Spend it in peace with your loved ones, and friends~
That's it for the game, you can stop reading now if you want. The following is about myself.
As some of you probably know already, I'm not a very healthy person. I have been struggling with quite a bit for the past decade or so. A couple of weeks ago, my health decided to troll me a bit and I had to be taken in an ambulance to a hospital. I'm more stable now, but that incident forced me to stay away from my computer for a while. It's frustrating, because I find entertainment working in the game and I hate making people wait more than they should.
Facing all of this alone can be scary, but your kind words and support keep me going. I want to thank you guys one more time, from my heart. All of this is possible thanks to you.
As always, cheers and be safe~
