Dev Notes

Few things for those wondering whether an update will drop this month. It will but it probably won't be as early as next week.

TLDR Below

I got real unlucky with some IRL stuff so I wasn't able to do anything for 1.5 weeks. But it is a good thing in a way because that kept my burnout in check. (I've been working continuously for months towards this project).

I originally planned to make the next update a sprint directly to Masaru's ending but then I thought to myself that if I'm going to do 5 routes and have the island not seem just like a backdrop, it's good to actually have some writing that goes towards building the route/world too.

I want to make my story interesting. 

That also led me to create an entire puzzle area that while doesn't necessarily adds to the H content, adds to the world and character. The area that you'll have to puzzle your way through will actually be used for the adult content you want, so no worries there! But it definitely introduced a new mechanic that depending on feedback, I'll be sure to utilize it like crazy(even though it takes a lot of effort and resources to do so).

Similarly, I'm working on another mechanic for the game for the H scenes. No promises there but I'll try. (again, effort and resources heavy).

All this is just to say that I'll be splitting the supposed final update to Masaru route into 2 releases. One this month, probably nearer the end of the month(late July, latest being earliest August) and the other one for the next release (I'm looking at late September).

Next update (content only that'll bring you to 1-2 scenes before the actual end of the route): end of the month or early August for Members.

Masaru's ending update(route finalized with QoL changes): Projected to be at the end/mid of September.

Once again, this is because the work that I thought I needed to do versus the work that I actually need to do, to the surprise of no one, always turns out different once I think to myself that this isn't interesting enough midway through.

My hands are tied regarding a lot of the world mechanics too because if you've come this far, there's not much of a point to me adding them when we are so near the end of the route so crucial new gameplay/QoL updates will be added after the route is finalized. Of course, I'll get to draw more players, more patrons, and that's important but spreading myself thin is a bad idea for now and I'll need to focus on delivering.

Well, that's all from me. If you've read this far, thanks for your support and do look forward to the next drop! It's summer time so our friends at Summer Stolen will be doing summer stuff!

TLDR: This dude added more stuff that he didn't think he needed AGAIN. So the update that was to be for Masaru's route will be split into two. One coming end of July, the other end of September.
