🌸 Alpha 0.5.1 – The Big Polish Update!
Hey everyone! 💖
This weekend I’m dropping Alpha 0.5.1, and it’s a chunky one. We’ve been doing a lot of polishing, rewriting, and bug-hunting to make sure the experience feels smoother, more consistent, and way more fun.
Here’s what’s new 👇
✨ Fresh Content
Dr. Stone’s class encounter got a glow-up! His scenes now feature a design that feels more consistent with both the NPC and the MC.
🛠 Fixes, Balances & Major Improvements
Mirror overlay mini-game restored after an optimization bug tried to erase it (how dare it 😤).
Special characters are now properly tracked in the relationship system—no more event errors when hanging out with your favorites.
The sex scene skip button has been replaced with a context-aware version (smarter, faster, cleaner).
Pregnancy System Update: The MC now tracks the baby’s father based on creampie history (weighted by volume, but not 100% guaranteed 👀).
Seduction mini-game completely rewritten—clearer, smoother, less confusing.
DDR mini-game rebalance:
Easy → 1 arrow
Normal → 1–2 arrows
Hard → 3–4 arrows
Fixed a DDR bug that left the animated character stuck on screen after events.
MASSIVE code auditing—tons of little bugs and quirks squashed 🐛💥.
Relationship decay rework: Friendships now fade more slowly, close friends are protected, and enemies won’t spiral out of control, keeping long-term NPC interactions alive.
This is a big milestone update—laying the foundation for the next wave of content. Up next I’ll be adding more variety, branching outcomes, and new ways to spend time with NPCs (dates, outings, friendships evolving).
Thanks as always for supporting me 🥰 Your feedback has been HUGE in shaping these changes, so dive in, test it out, and let me know how it feels.

FYI, my previous saves did not work with this version. Is this an error for this update?
Hi! Thats a very good question. Older save files crash in the new version because I changed and rewrote a lot of the game’s systems (like relationships, mini-games, and events). When Ren’Py tries to load an old save, it looks for data that no longer exists or has been restructured, which causes errors. Sadly, that’s something I can’t fully prevent, but the new version should run fine with a fresh save.

Thank you. I will fix this for the next hotfix version in a few days
Cool , you are making a lot of udpates , thanks and well done ! Q: if the mc is pregnant by a black guy , the baby will be black skinned? Thanks !
Thank you :) About your Q, not yet but it will, since I can track the NPC. Its a good challenge and I will probably add this feature later in dev.
