Dev Log 24
🕑 Added 2024-01-14 21:53:47 +0000 UTCHey guys!
Welcome to the first dev log of 0.8, and also of 2024. For those of you who have recently joined with the release of 0.7, thank you, and welcome! I do these dev logs every other Sunday.
That's not the only thanks I want to give this time though, as the 7th of January marked the one year anniversary of Cosy Cafe's 0.1 release. There are so many more of you here supporting me than I ever imagined there would be when I was creating that first release, and I just want to let you all know that I really appreciate it! I hope to live up to your expectations and create a great story for you all to enjoy this year too!
Now, on to the actual dev log:
0.7.1
As with every update, you guys have helped me a lot by tracking down all of the typos that slipped through into the 0.7 release, so I've fixed those, but the main change in 0.7.1 is actually a small new feature: I've added a "Hide UI" button to the bottom of the game screen. This was primarily being requested by mobile users, since PC users can press H or middle mouse button to hide the UI, but I decided I might as well have the button on all platforms.
0.8
Of course, the main thing I've been working on over the last couple of weeks has been writing 0.8 - it's now mostly finished, with only a couple of scenes left to do, and I expect the final word count to come in around 16,000-17,000 words. It's a single day update again, meaning it's the longest single day in the game to date (I feel like I break that record with every update recently) .
The primary focus of this update will be on Catherine, Miss Takamura, and, obviously, Akatsuki. All three of these characters will make a fair bit of progress this time around, but there will also be a fun scene with Lucy, and the brief introduction of one of the last two unmet love interests.
Next, a change I plan to make that will impact the entire game with 0.8 - music. I want to add themed pieces of music for each girl, as I've done with Sarah in the last couple of updates. I intend to go back through all of the earlier content to make each girl's theme present from the beginning, assuming I get time. If not, this might get pushed to 0.8.1, but I'll do it eventually.
Finally, the release date - I'm aiming for the end of February to maintain the usual two month cycle, but I'll give you a more definite date closer to the time.
I'll speak to you all again in a couple of weeks, at which point I should be neck deep in the rendering process.
As always, thank you all for supporting the game!

1 year already happy birthday, the fact that the update is only one day in the game is not at all annoying given that the update cycle is also quite short but I love this cycle because it keeps me hungry for the rest of the story
