What's taking so long (Part 2!)
🕑 Added 2021-06-05 20:26:45 +0000 UTCHey folks.
I just wanted to keep you updated on the process! I haven't disappeared. I've been quite busy in fact.
I released 0.25 public version yesterday. In reality, this version is 0.26 without the content updates.
The reason I did this is pretty simple. I've been trying to crush a persistent bug in the android version of the game. In line with this, I've also been fixing every bug or glitch I encounter along the way.
As far as I know, the bug doesn't have anything to do with my code and no one can help me identify the problem as all code checks out (both in the engine and on my end). Maybe it's a weird anomaly, who knows. Either way, I'll keep trying to get rid of it so that players can enjoy the game on android.
The more important reason is I wanted to add a significant amount of content to the game to differentiate 0.25 from 0.26. With that in mind, I'm further expanding the main story of the game (so far 3 events related to that), one of which leads to a new area and NPC.
I'm also adding onto the stories of various npcs as well, such as Pichi, Ryoko and Fira. There are also a lot of other QOL updates behind the scenes.
Finally, I want to improve or open up some game mechanics, for example the gift system and tower upgrades. The gifts allow you to speed up the process of building bonds with each vixen.
The tower system allows you to upgrade various facets of gameplay, you can consider it a system of unlockable perk that can do a plethora of things. For example, you can gain more affection when talking to vixens, increase the maximum amount of affection they can hold for you, improve the XP you gain, and much more.
My overall goal with 0.26 is to add 3-5 more hours of gameplay for you -- hence the additional time it's taken. My apologies for the wait, but I want to make doubly sure it's worth it!
