Public update - September 2016

This month's image

This picture is the 'defeat' graphic in combat (except that it would have the word "defeat" above the girls instead of the captions I've included here). 

What's new?

PAL alpha v0.12.0 is the currently available version. The main new features in this version are:

• The Masami/Kimiko threesome is implemented. This means that all the main sex scenes are now implemented (although I plan to revisit and improve most scenes at least a little bit more, including the Masami/Kimiko scene).
  
• Combat graphics are now implemented (although a bug means some of the animations aren't working - they will be in the next version.

Coming soon

Alpha v0.13.0 is the next version I will release; it's planned to include:

• The climactic battle of the story and completion of the main plot (although the harem mode continues the story in important ways).
• The endings and epilogues for all the girls and combinations, although not the harem ending (that's coming in the version after).
• Replay mode, allowing you to get abridged versions of plot scenes when replaying the game.
  
• A tutorial introduction to the combat mode on day 3. This can be skipped with replay mode.
• Improvements to a number of main plot scenes' graphics and the introduction of Po-chan.
• Improvements to some voice volume levels.
• Some new sex images.

A bunch of this is already done - most if it, other than the endings, in fact.

Release schedule

Surprisingly I've managed to stay on track with my goals and even get more done in the last couple of releases than I planned. That means I am absolutely on track for version 0.14.0 to be the first beta version, which means the main game release will be getting close at that point. Since 0.14.0 is the release after next, that means the game is getting pretty close to finished already.

That said, a few of the remaining goals are quite challenging. Endings in particular are really hard to do and I've got a lot of them to make. I have a decent amount of work done already, of course, but making progress on these is a slow grind. I'll keep at it, I just want you to know why this next release is a big update.
