Hey everyone,

Alongside all the new content already announced for Update 0.8.7, we're also bringing a major visual overhaul to Life in Alphaville.

Thanks to your incredible support, Alphaville keeps growing every month, and we believe the game should evolve alongside our community. That's why we're improving several systems and interfaces to make the experience more beautiful, intuitive, and polished than ever before.

We're not quite at the level we ultimately want to reach—but we're getting very close. These improvements are laying the foundation for the next stage of the game's development.

Here's a look at what's coming!

A Brand-New Shopping Experience

The in-game shop has received a complete visual redesign.

It now features a cleaner, more modern interface that better matches Alphaville's current art style, making browsing and purchasing items much easier.

These improvements are especially important because they're preparing the game for the new Hangout System, arriving in Update 0.8.8.

Soon you'll be able to invite your favorite girl out, give her gifts, increase her affection and attributes, unlock new images, and discover even more about her through exclusive events.

The gifts available in the shop will become an important part of these dates, making every Hangout feel unique and much more immersive.

A Better Organized Inventory

Since we're talking about items, the inventory also deserved some attention.

Previously, it was fairly simple and lacked organization. Now, items will be sorted by categories, names, and quantities, making everything much easier to manage.

We've also redesigned the interface with a brand-new background that better fits the game's overall aesthetic.

The inventory will become even more meaningful in future updates.

You'll be able to earn exclusive items through quests, and in Update 0.8.8, the new casino will introduce even more rewards to collect.

Status & Video Gallery Improvements

The Status and Video Gallery is also getting a fresh visual update.

The previous interface no longer matched Alphaville's current artistic direction, so we've redesigned it to provide a cleaner and more enjoyable browsing experience.

We're also improving our +18 scenes to ensure they match—or even surpass—the overall visual quality of the game.

Our goal is to make it easier than ever to revisit your favorite scenes and keep track of your progress with each character.

Improved Game Menu

One of the most common pieces of community feedback was that some menus were difficult to read due to the interface colors.

To solve this, we've completely redesigned the Game Menu, including:

• Save

• Load

• Preferences

• About

• Options

• and several other screens.

Everything is now cleaner, easier to navigate, and much more user-friendly.

We want every part of Alphaville to share the same polished visual identity.

A New Patreon Credits Page

Our Patreon Credits page has also received a complete makeover.

Besides the visual redesign, we've improved both the programming and layout to create a much better way to recognize everyone who supports the project.

Every month, this page will be updated with all active supporters who continue helping make Life in Alphaville better than ever.

It's our small way of saying thank you for making all of this possible.

Finally, I'd like to sincerely thank every single one of you.

Thank you for every comment, like, suggestion, bug report, piece of feedback, and for believing in this project.

When I first started Life in Alphaville, it was simply a fun hobby that I worked on during my free time.

Today, thanks to your incredible support, it has become so much more than that.

You've helped transform this project into my biggest goal as a game developer.
