HHR launch on Tuesday (for real now!)

Added 2025-01-19 23:42:47 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone,

sorry for the wait.
About a week ago, I was sure I'd manage it this weekend (which just ended in my timezone), since the scenes had been all but finished, apart from some polish.

But that was before an issue with an important in-game graphic turned into a 2-day nightmare odyssey to fix it, followed by some IRL hold-ups, and finally some small last-minute additions to the game (1 tiny new scene, rewriting a small part of the code, and adding a few sound effects to some scenes).

Anyway, HHR 0.1 is now complete. I'll get some sleep now, then we'll give it a final test run and wrap up some launch preparations, then it's finally time.

At 15.3k words, over 500 images and 5 animations (technically 9, because 4 of them have an 'alternate outfit' version), with 7 main girls plus 4 side girls getting a varying amount of screen time, I think this is a good amount of content for a first release.

Of course, as is the nature of a new game, the kind of content you're mostly here for will not play that much of a role yet, but there'll be some of it.

It's been a longer ride since the end of TM than planned, and at least part of the gap was absolutely my bad and something I'll definitely handle better next time, if we ever get to another transition to a new big game.

But HHR will become quite a bit bigger (and hopefully also a bit more successful) than TM! ever was, so hopefully there won't be a need for another game transition for years to come.

I'm both excited and a bit anxious about your feedback.
To have cooked or get cooked, that is the question =)
