We now have a release date set! Well, still a vague one but at least a general idea. I feel confident this first release will be ready by that time.

Implemented a lighting system for when your navigating the world. Similar to the first game but it is now time dependent. There is a morning time before you setup quests and and evening after you send them out. So two different lighting levels for different times of the day. Time is static and only moves when you Start day or go to bed. I don't like "Real time" games where it's always moving, because I find your often stuck at annoying times of day or stood around waiting for something to happen at a certain time. So yeah, just a flat day and night.

Implemented the first parts of the tavern for you to fix. For now this is focused on clearing up and mending thing. In later versions this will have more customization options for different tables and banners etc.

Been building the gallery this week, a key feature of every game in my opinion. It's built in a menu style system where you first select the girl, then you pick from all the scenes she is involved in. I did like the original approach of the first game where you see the room filling in over time, but this method makes it so much easier to find what you're looking for.
I also am structuring the backend of it differently, previously the scene was just copied into the gallery. This worked but it meant it any changes were made to the scene (spelling mistakes and such) they would have to also be made in the gallery every time, which often lead to things getting mismatched. This new method will pull the scene from the same location as the first so one change will reflect everywhere. This should help with overall stability.

Catch you in the next update
