Summer Stolen Paradise Version 0.29 Details + Itch.io Release.

Hello everyone!

Look, new banner!

I did this for the previous member's version before it became free, so I'll do it again as a tradition to promote my hard work. Either way, even if you don't/can't be a paid member, you'll at least get to know what to look forward to. Otherwise, I'll love for you to show me some support and hop in and give the new update a whirl.

1. New side quest:

Pub/Bar in Seaside village now has a side-quest for Masaru (in future for other bulls) too.

This is a companion side quest to the Masaru Route. You basically go drinking together. A nice celebration after all that hard work at the bakery between co-workers and comrades where absolutely nothing weird will happen.

Bakery Minigame that has scenes that develops throughout the route and gives you fair amount of money. With a fairly sizeable amount of variations that makes replaying it not a bore.

Instead of going into the bakery and just select baking as if you're supposed to give a shit. Now, there's a minigame with 4 whole variations that progress throughout Masaru's route where you actually do want to give a shit about what's happening in the kitchen. Of course by that I mean how hard the both of them are working and doing honest work.

Reworked scenes, quite a fair share of them has looping images now. Some early scenes with "bad" art has been reworked. Some new story scenes has been added and sprinkled throughout the route.

Patreon compresses gifs for some reason but you get a general idea. They loop now.

Beach arc, RV and Beach has their still images made into looping ones. Most of them anyway, some was left alone because it felt better that way. They aren't full fledged animation but I did spent a ton of time on them. Some really off-looking artwork has also been fixed.

QOL Features: New Keyboard shortcuts (Phone, Quest log), Fast Travel, Quest Journal replacing the need for walkthrough. Minor QOL like better time passing options, Shion locations, Shion's affection status. Recollection room has been improved.

New phone messages, new phone call conversations.

Previous Posts have the screenshots for some of this, but really, the phone works with a shortcut now, and you get 2-3 new message scenes. Along with other fancy stuff like seeing how many heart points your girlfriend has for you and how you've been increasing them so much they are now flying over to the other guy.

Bug fixes and story progression frustrations moments that were pointed out were fixed.

Finally, the itch.io page is up. It's pretty cool, I think.

I've heard feedback on using other platforms so for now there's itch.io (but we know that's different) but I'm also looking to put up subscribestar and Ci-en eventually. But that's really more of my thing to ponder.

Next update is being worked on, but I do want to put more work into spreading the game out to people too, so some time has to be spent on that.

If you're interested in supporting and getting the version early, as always it'll mean a lot.

If you're still on the fence and if this can be any incentive for you to want to support, I'll also be dropping an image pack and try to make some of them "animation" lite for the paid members in a day or so. It's like, an offline gallery for you to look through all the images.

I realized I missed my anniversary for the game, but eh, this is a marathon not a sprint but I'm glad the game is still around.

Until the next post!
