Update on the Upcoming Release

Wishing everyone a great week! After intense work at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025, I can now see a release date for the next update on the horizon. However, after such a long wait, it wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t bring along a variety of new features and a special surprise for all of you who have believed in and supported this project.

Along with the public version of the update, there will also be a more advanced version for Patreons! That means version 0.7.0 will be released for the public, while version 0.7.5 will be available exclusively for Patreons. The plan is to keep updates regular, always giving those who support and encourage the project a step ahead of the rest.

What’s Coming?

Both updates will introduce a range of new features, many of which have already been discussed in previous posts. However, I’ve compiled a summarized list to highlight the key points:

• Status Change Indicators (Love, Perv, Nice): Players will now see on-screen how their choices impact their relationships with each character.

• Improved Shops and Jobs: Whether in Sandbox or Visual Novel mode, players will have ways to earn money and give gifts in the game.

• Dating System: To make the game more realistic, before engaging in intimate relationships, the MC will now be able to take a girl on a date to get to know her better.

• Gallery: A well-organized gallery featuring various albums and incredible rewards that align with the player’s initial game choice (Solo, Normal, Hardcore).

• Map and Visual Novel Mode: Both gameplay styles have been adapted to the story, respecting the player’s choices. The game’s map and environment have also been updated, making them more attractive, user-friendly, and visually appealing.

• New Game UI: Additional functions have been added to standardize the game and enhance its aesthetics.

• Music System: Many new tracks have been added, along with a Game UI feature that allows players to relax while listening to the full game playlist.

• New Main Menu: Now featuring new buttons, an even more stunning background, a new font, and more attractive text colors, dialogues, and option boxes.

• Integrated Sex Scenes: All the sex scenes introduced in the test version will now be properly adapted into the story and fully playable. (Keep in mind that players can avoid them based on their choices, so be mindful.)

So, What’s the Difference Between the Versions?

It’s simple: Version 0.7.5 will offer a longer continuation of the story, meaning Patreon supporters will see content that public players in version 0.7.0 won’t have access to yet. My initial plan is to release update 0.7.0 up to the water park day, while update 0.7.5 will continue up to Truth or Dare, which was where we last left off in version 0.5.

That said, these won’t be the only differences. As you may have noticed, I’ve restructured parts of the story to create more natural interactions between characters. This means it will take a bit longer to reach moments like dates, kisses, and sex scenes, but the main goal is to deepen the player’s connection with each girl and highlight how lively and dynamic the world of LIA truly is. Relationships will develop naturally, and players will have the power to influence them for better or worse.

For example:

• Emily and Alexis can either be rivals or friends.

• The MC’s father may or may not separate from Olivia.

These are just examples of recurring characters, but this mechanic applies to everyone.

What’s Left for the Update?

The only thing pending at this stage is finishing the story up to the designated release points. I still need to create a few more scenes before the update can be published. I’ll be working hard this week to finalize things and will provide you with a release date by Friday. Stay tuned!
