From now on, new updates will become available for everyone 3 weeks after the first release. The main reason for this, is that It's taking me an average of 3 weeks to release a new update.
And I would like the timing of the public and alpha releases to be at the same time (or at least very close).
I've also updated the Patreon tiers as follows:
Version 0.1.7comes with an improved messaging app on the phone. You will be able to respond to messages from the girls in a similar way to how choices work in the game. While a normal choice may lead to a different dialogue / scene, on the phone a choice may lead to different messages / reactions from the girls.
There will also be group chats with the girls from the house, the waitresses from the cafΓ© (you will have to increase your relationship with Rebecca to unlock it) and even with the girls in the enemy group (later in the game).
This new feature will have a lot of impact in the game. After v0.1.7, most story events / quests, h-scenes and relationship scenes will include a chat conversation with either one girl or several girls (group chat).
v0.1.7 Release Dates:
V0.1.7 Quick Overview:
It's getting a bit difficult to test the game on my own, I would really appreciate if you report any bugs you find to my discord server. Thanks.
TLDR: Be sure to respond to all messages you receive, as they will expire if you ignore them. And remember to choose the right option to have a positive impact on the girls.
