Developer Report HH 6.5
🕑 Added 2025-04-22 22:19:15 +0000 UTCI am renaming my updates from "Roundup" to "Development Report".
The reason? It just sounds more correct. These are development reports to you, the backer who is funding Heavy Hearts moving forward. You are the backers that make this game possible, who's funding pays for the Artwork and programming of this adventure.
This also means that reports are going to be more frequent. A little ways ago I said at least 2 a month, and I am sticking to that. The only exception will be on Release months, because when I release a build I usually take a few weeks to myself. Otherwise, I work on this title basically every day.
But that's enough of that. You want to see whats cooking, right?
We are introducing a new character officially within the game. You may remember her picture popping up here and there in the discord or on this patreon page. This is Phanie, the elven Baroness of Las Luminea Celestean.
She sits on a throne in the main court of the Luminea Towers. Her motives and allegiances are not fully clear, but apparently, she is on the side of Humanity-- She and her constituents are sympathetic to Luccia's cause. In this latest update, Luccia is determined to speak with her.
But how does a rag tag bunch of misfits in Luccia's team gain access to such royalty? Well, that's a tough one, and I don't want to spoil it --- but here is a hint.
I will not be answering any questions about this update, so please do not DM me. My DM's will be closed until after the update is out.
Heavy Hearts 0.6.5 will feature:
1. an extended scene with Alexander
2. A massive amount of pixelated lewd visuals
3. The 2nd Arc of the new continents main mission
4. Multiple fixes and improvements.
---
Here is the non-definitive changelog. This will be posted again when the game releases, but there may be some things added:
0.6.5
Major Updates:
-- Added extended H content to Alexander's scene.
-- Added next arc to the main mission, along with all quest journal logs.
-- Added 18 new NPC's, most with nude or fully lewd animations
-- 100% of all explorable maps are now pre-rendered. Visually, it looks the same as before, but requires a significantly smaller amount of processing power.
-- Removed all of the "Mixels" atrocities within the game. I'm sorry those lasted as long as they did.
-- Fully revamped save system that should eliminate the save corruption problem that has been plaguing the game. Once again, sorry that it lasted a long time- but I just couldn't isolate the issue. I'm a much more knowledgeable developer now.
-- Added a new look for Luccia.
-- People have been asking for a pixel art gallery. That has not been implemented yet, but will be in the next one.
-- Added collaboration characters from other Adult Games!

Minor Updates:

-- Fixed a visual issue with some map items.
-- Fixed a problem where skipping the dialogue at the Orc FOB resulted in the 3rd star not unlocking.

-- Updated battle background for Orc Villa Thorne's combat match, and also updated Orc Villa's exploration map for the last time.
-- Updated Luccia's house inside and outside to remove Mixels.
-- Fixed a critical issue that caused the player to be in an inescapable game over if they died during the Combat Challenge in the cave.
-- Fixed a minor visual bug involving the Glithe Camera.
-- Fixed a minor visual issue where Orcosaurus would glitch out on the map.
-- Fixed some small bothersome problems where the exit from Ebonveil is a few steps away from the flag.

damn, that's a lot of work, awesome job man! Did not know that so much was in plan. And it's good to hear that we'll get more dev reports. But to be completely honest, I kinda miss the feeling of doom and no hope of the first chapter. When humans were almost extinct and last ones were hunted, so you had to wear a disguise. It was so unique imo
