Progress Update [06 December 2024]

Hello, I hope you're doing well and having a great week!

A quick note about the public release [December 7th]: 

Saves from the Patreon demo will not work in the public version [since the files will be merged, as mentioned in the Patreon release post].

However, I will keep a working Patreon demo link for you where your saves will still work until the next update is released.

I apologize for the inconvenience and hope this will be helpful.

What was done last week?

• Uploaded a fix for grammatical errors in the Patreon demo.

This release will not be updated further and will remain available until the new update is released, so you can still use your saves there.

• Finished preparing files for the public release.

I tried to find a way to merge the files without losing your saves, but the only method I found requires coding to switch between different segments of the files [*goto_scene statement].

This would have caused multiple loads during the scene [from 2 to 4], making the code more complicated.

So, the only practical solution was to merge everything as originally planned [to avoid multiple loads during the scenes and repetition of text].

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Stat name change: "bold / shy" dynamic is now labeled "assertive / reserved".

As you know, English is not my first language, and sometimes I struggle to find the right word to label the stat so it conveys the intended meaning.

Because of this, I received many messages recently about the "flirt dynamic" stat, which portrayed the flirt options differently than the way I write them [especially "shy" options], without readers trying to choose them first.

That's why I decided to rename the bold / shy stat to assertive / reserved, indicating a preference to take the initiative and lead in flirting / a preference for the RO to take the lead.

While I'm still not sure if this is the ideal replacement, I didn't want to use dominant / submissive option, and I hope this will help reduce the number of such messages.

L's Side Story [minor clarification].

I realized I miscalculated the story's timeline.

The MC and L graduated from the police academy at 22, meaning the events of the story take place 6-12 years ago [depending on the MC's age].

Apologies for the inaccuracy! I've already corrected this in the description.

Patreon's content for this month.

According to the poll results, L's NSFW alphabet and Morgan's winter special will be the Patreon content released this month.

To be honest, I didn't expect these results, so L and Morgan will be under "house arrest" for the next few polls, considering how frequently content featuring them has been released recently.

For those waiting for the other ROs' content, I'll try to balance the options more evenly next time.

As always, thank you for your support! ♥ I hope you will have a relaxing weekend ahead!
