December Dev log (Upcoming features)
🕑 Added 2024-12-28 03:24:07 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas to all our loving fans! Hope you all have had a great year!
As a Christmas gift to all our lovely Guild Members, they can preview CGs of the upcoming endings. The folder will be updated as I finish more endings until all of them are done.
Can't believe it's already been a year, a lot of things happened for this game and in real life for me. Throughout the months since the update, I've been working on a lot of new features that I want to add in the next version, and will list all of them here and how high their priorities are.
For those of you who might care, the major reason for the delayed update was switching jobs in June, which caused a bit of blockage in development but I've found a new job now and are working harder on writing and artwork creation. Couple that with a breakup with my girlfriend (Before you ask, no we didn't break up because of NTR), it's been a rollercoaster of emotions for this year.
But enough about the irl shit, you're here to see the features so let's get on to it. Starting from high priority to low priority.
1. Endings (Priority: Current)
The cream of butter of the upcoming update, something I've postponed for the better part of the year. This will be implemented along with the new daydreaming room (or new scene gallery) for players to experience potential futures with the heroines. The whole script as of now is 57000+ words long with 500+ CG. I've decided to move a few of the endings to another feature since it mainly features other men.
If the ending conditions are met, the player can unlock it manually in the daydreaming room and view it anytime they want even if the conditions have changed.
Oh, that girl is the mascot for the new daydreaming room, just a wandering fortune teller.
2. Girlfriend Battle (Priority: Kinda High)
The new game mode I want to implement into the game. After the player reaches Progression 4 of a heroine, they can advance to girlfriend status once they have the right conditions.
The conditions for becoming a girlfriend are as follows:
1. A heroine's Fourth scene has been viewed.
2. A heroine's Second Rival Scene has not been viewed.
3. A unique gift (Created by combining X amount of smaller gifts found in the dungeon.
After becoming a girlfriend, you can engage with Chad in a girlfriend battle. Chad will select one of his former party members (New characters) while you choose one yourself. Both parties would then clear a new dungeon and judge based on how well they performed, the winner gets to spend the night with the loser's heroine.
Each main heroine will have 3 scenes with Chad (if the MC loses), and each of Chad's party members will have 4 scenes with the MC (if Chad loses). For the sake of my worklord and sanity, some scenes will be short but I'll try to include a full sex scene at the end of each heroine's stories.
Also, if the MC allows their girlfriend to spend time with Chad too many times, an ending of their potential future will be unlocked.
3. Dungeon helpers (Priority: Medium)
The new characters mentioned in last month's post. They are helpers who can assist you in Girlfriend battles and help you have a higher chance of winning, in exchange for a night with one of their favorite girls.
More info about them in this post.
The dream is to have 4 scenes for each heroine but we'll see how it goes.
4. The upscale project (Priority: Medium)
One of my biggest regrets during early development of the game was not starting with 1080p. 720p is considered small in today's standards and I want to change that.
All of the CG and Sex videos will be rendered in 1080p, sure the file size will be larger but I'll try my best to compress it. Converting every CG and video to 1080p does take a while though.
5. Gacha system
*The card shown in the image is a placeholder.
As an avid gacha gamer myself, I want the game to have a bit of randomness and a card-gathering system.
It's not microtransactions for those who are concerned (I don't even know how you can do that in RPG Maker). It's a system that uses tickets collected in the ticket to pull. These cards aren't just for show, they provide small buffs for both the dungeons like more loot or more points.
6. Simple 3P
A simple way to have the MC work on multiple girlfriends at once. The MC can choose any two girls and perform a threesome at night. They of course aren't full scenes and are mostly just a CG showing the two girls in the act.
That is a lot of stuff planned so far. As I'm nearing the end stages of CG making for the endings, hopefully, I have enough time to work on the Girlfriend Battle.
As always, I fully appreciate the support you all have given me this year! I've had time to cook these endings and extend them into proper scenes instead of it being just a few lines of dialogue and a single CG.
Love you all, and hope you all have a great new year coming!

Thanks! The 1080p project did take a while as I had to render all the CG and videos to a different size, hopefully it could be done along with he other updates. I'm not sure how common it is for eroge devs to be married, but I know some devs on DLsite are engaged. Hope you have a happy new year!

Woah. That's a lot of new features. If some of them have to go or be downscaled in exchange for quality, we'll understand. It's true that 1080p might make the file size bigger, but most people probably have the storage space to spare ,by deleting completed games if nothing else. Sorry to hear about the girlfriend. (I wonder what's the percentage of eroge devs with significant others?) Here's to a good new year, and thanks for your hard work!
