12/16/24 Status Report
🕑 Added 2024-12-17 00:03:00 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I apologize for the lack of status reports. I've been trying to make up for it by showcasing the art we have done for v0.13.
Writing
I have been doing a fair amount of writing! I've been writing all the lewd scenes needed for v0.13, which was 13 lewd scenes! These scenes are the hardest for me to write, but I managed to power through and finish all of them! Bringing our total word count to...
135,647 words
I'll move on to writing Episode 7 again until the build gets further along. Once I can play around with it, I'll notice areas where we need more dialogue.
Art
As I've reported, Kokman has done all the art needed for v0.13 and v0.14. I've also been posting Sprite Updates that we've been doing. Now, I have Kokman working on updating older scenes to match the character models. I have an update on one of those scenes being posted on Thursday.
Animation
All 5 of Jeze's lewd scenes have been fully animated. Our animator is now working on the Ash and Dani scenes. They are almost done with one of the Dani scenes, and it looks excellent! They recently moved from Live2D to Spine2D to make better animations. 5 down, 8 to go!
My other artist has 42% of the assets needed for the coffee minigame done. And the rest they have half completed.
Coding
The biggest challenge of v0.13 has been coding the cellphone that the player can use to:
Chat with characters, check their status with the Cafe and their exp, check money, check character stats (i.e., how many times has Hazel gone down on you), custom wallpapers, access gallery from the phone, and hints on what to do next with each character.
The phone will do a lot, so it will take time to get it working. We are very close to completion! We are polishing it and hope to start stress-testing it very soon.
Which brings us to the big question:
When can we expect v0.13?
As some of you may have seen, we have an FAQ that helps answer many common questions like this.
Right now, I predict v0.13 to be released in early January.
We have to test the phone still, we need to connect Notos to the map, make sure it works, make sure all the events work, get the lewd scenes animated, and do the coffee minigame.
There is still much work to do, but this episode is about implementing systems—making the map, the exp, and the phone work.
We won't have to worry about it once everything is done and working. So, while it may seem like things are taking forever, there will be a beautiful sunrise on the other side of this storm.
That is all I have for now! Work might slow down as it is about to really be the Holiday season: Christmas, my birthday, and New Year's. It's going to be wild, and I have presents to wrap.
Thank you all for your fantastic support! It's why I get to do this for a living and work every day to make this game <3.
Stay Rad Out There!

It's the same game so when you load up 12.4 you should be able to continue. Though if anything breaks its best to restart.

There are no more free versions. Every update past v0.11 is paid. I am just updating the demo for Steam in January. It won't have any content past ep 5.

Dude, that's still amazing how you guys got so much done in such a small amount of time! Please remember to take care of yourselves and not burnout! None of us mind waiting longer than expected, if it means you and your team are good both physically and mentally!
Zman862
Good Lord, you and your team got alot done fast! Don't overwork yourselves! Also, you're Birthday is after Christmas too!? Same here! My birthday is December 30th, when's yours? Did you also get screwed on presents as a kid (y'know, when they just took half of your Christmas presents, and saved them for your birthday, so you end up getting half the amount of gifts as your siblings🤣🤣🤣🤣)

Thanks for the update <3
RadLord
There are a lot of lewd scenes to make up for the fact that a lot of the work is back-end stuff 95% of the player base won't think about xD

Sounds like you're getting the hardest stuff out of the way first, but that also means that this next update will be hefty.
RadLord
Not unless a miracle happens
