I Have Known You | v4.03 — Dev report, April 2026

Hey everyone!

It’s been a little over two weeks since my last post, and I felt it was time to sit down and give you a proper update, not just a quick status check, but a real look at where things stand and why.

First, I want to be upfront with you, the new update didn’t drop last week like I said it would.

That’s on me. I got ambitious and bit off more than I could realistically chew in that timeframe. And honestly? I don’t regret it, because what’s shaping up now is so much better than what I originally had in mind.

When I saw we were closing in on 10,000 renders, something clicked. This wasn’t the moment for just a regular update. This was the moment to do something that actually feels like a big step forward.

Where v4.03 stands right now

The numbers alone tell part of the story:

• 1,000+ renders

• 3 NSFW scenes

• 20+ animations

But the renders aren’t even the part I’m most excited about.

What’s new under the hood

Over the past few months (since I ran that poll about new features), I’ve been building a set of systems that I believe will change how the game feels to play, not just how it looks:

• Character Profiles — Everything about each girl in one place, including unlockable outfit images.

• Journey System — Revisit past interactions and keep track of your history with each character.

• New Gallery — Fully redesigned, with smoother navigation and brand new unlockable content.

• More Choices — Each scene now includes more choices, and each one actually matters.

• Relationship Points — Your choices directly impact your relationship with each girl, with clear gains and losses.

• Time Tracking — See how long you’ve played and track your overall progress.

• UI/UX Redesign — Main menu, settings, save/load screens — everything is getting a proper refresh.

I’ve been careful not to just bolt these on for the sake of a feature list. Each one needs to feel like it belongs, and getting that right takes time.

Check out some preview images (it’s still a work in progress).

What’s left and when to expect it

All of the content is already done, right now it’s all about implementing these new features.

I’m currently around 70% done. At the moment, I’m working through Chapter 3, and after that, I need to wrap up Chapter 4 before everything is ready to go.

My honest estimate is around 10 days, but Easter is coming up, I’ll be spending some time with family, and let’s be real, I have a track record of underestimating these things.

So if you want a safer bet, expect it closer to 15 days. I’d rather tell you that now than let you down again.

I’ll be pushing as hard as I can either way.

Thank you, genuinely, for sticking with me through the slower stretches.

The patience and support from this community mean more than I know how to say. You’re the reason I keep raising the bar instead of just shipping something “good enough.”

More soon. 💙
