Version 0.84 - Shoichi (Good/Medium)
🕑 Added 2025-12-08 21:30:28 +0000 UTCGood afternoon,
It took me longer than I wanted to, but I managed to complete the Shoichi update more or less "on time". While it's definitely a week late, because I got sick right after crunching to finish the previous update, I only really got started on this one about a week and a half before the end of November, so it's honestly astounding I got it complete that "fast". I'm hopeful that I can pick up some momentum and normalize the schedule by the end of the year. Fingers crossed at least.
Soon I'm also going to do some housekeeping in the game. Now that all the guys have had their sprites updated (and any new character sprite won't have anywhere near as much modularity, since it's not necessary for side characters), I'll play the game on my own from day 1 to program in all the new expression, pose and clothing change variations to try to get things peppered in as naturally as possible.
Still, I hope you guys like the update. To be honest, I had wanted to update all the paths at once, but there was no way I could fit a bad path update (that would be a whole update on its own) along with this, so I had to pick the path that most people would be interested in. Please give me your feedback and your thoughts. I might also go back at some point to add some more player choices to make the affection system a bit less "all or nothing" where, because there aren't that many points to be earned, a single choice can be the sole difference between passing an affection check or not. No promises at the moment however.
I've also been talking to Nyaruh about getting some art done to spruce up the Neutral/No Route ending that you get when you fail to lock in a route before the end of the character selection. And maybe a counter on how many days you have remaining so players aren't taken by surprise by it. It's low priority at the moment, but it's being considered! Now, without further ado, let's get into the update!

upd8 was so good for Shoichis character it might actually hurt when we force him to watch from the chair on Harukis route (might)

I completely agree with you! I would rather there be no updates for a month but that we hear news about how he is doing mentally.

Enjoyed the update! Take your time with these upcoming updates, as long as you keep us in the loop most of us won't gripe about waiting (too much).
