Kali

Good day, everyone. Have you tried the new 1_17 update yet? Did my best to finish it as fast and as thorough as I possibly can. I want everyone to have a clean experience playing. And the good news is that Build 1_17 is going to be free for everyone next week.

And that's right! Now that I realized how I've been so occupied working on the game that I forgot to tell you what's it about. I'll be repeating this on Build 1_18's post and onwards.

============

[Lasting Connections] is a Visual Novel game that focuses on building relationships with many varying characters you'll meet. Be it romance, friendship, or others.

You primarily play as Kaliaga, or Kali for short, a 21-year-old college student who has never truly been in the front of anything. The game takes place the day after the shocking news about one of your family member came out. Your big sister, Feily, decided to take you on a little vacation from it all. Despite her familial status, she's been a somewhat missing figure in your life.

============

The majority of choices matter, and things will lead to different outcomes. You'll see bits of it in what it has so far, but it will become more apparent someday as more and more choices, events, interactions will be added. Speaking of which, let's talk about content and roadmap.

Here is a simple one I've made:

I know a lot of games are using "Version x.5, Version 0.7.20.1" but I don't think it's the right one for this game. So, instead, I just decided to call it like it is plus milestones. Like, Build 1_1 where I've reached a milestone of introductory scene of the first girl, next is Build 1_2 milestone where you can talk to your sister, and so on. Maybe a time when I skipped an upload build and goes straight from 14 to 16 because the 15th milestone is reached in the development build.

Now, let's talk a bit about the roadmap. We're currently on Build 1 at the 17th milestones, Build 1_17. At this point, you've met all but one character from the roadmap, and we're currently on the first day. You might think I'm just throwing random names to fill up those roadmap, but actually, aside from two characters on it, all of them are established characters. From ImpAntique3D and myself from back in the day.

Build 2 and 3 will have new characters, but that doesn't mean each build is separated. You will continue to interact with those who appear in the previous build, you will just have a new option once we do get to the new build. But let's go back and focus on the now instead of the future.

Kali's new outfit and appearance!

I know I should've done it earlier and maybe replaced the scenes where he now wears the new outfit, but it also wouldn't make sense if his skin also changes all suddenly. No, I actually do have a way to make this change more fluid in the next build. It's gonna be awesome.

The next milestone is a bit further, so expect no less than two weeks for the next update, maybe three. In the meantime, I'm sure you will find Build 1_17 to be quite playable now. And I will also make some hot pictures too. I'll separate this kind of regular post and those uploads, so you can filter it by tags. And thank you for your support, for believing in this project. I'm confident that I'm cooking something really really cool and awesome, and I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in making it a reality. So, thank you again. Hope you have a nice day.
