More work is being done on the dating system. The core mechanics are working, it's up to me to make sure it is cohesive and playable. The only thing left is creating the actual map in the menu, and then creating a few date scenarios. But the touching now works! My programmer legit spent 3 days on creating a sparkle particle effect... It's so pretty though! I'll try and work on it some more so that I can make it fully playable to you all.
Other than that, Neil gets a new redesign for his appearance in James' route. He is three years older here, making him 27. His hair is purple because the events in his own route never happened, so he didn't dye his hair black! He will most likely appear in chapter 16, along with Angela, who also gets a redesign.
Chapter 14 marks the end of our days spent on the planet Yool in James' route, which makes me kinda sad as I enjoyed drawing all the different locations as well as outfits for everyone. Chapter 14 ended up being very long as well (6.7k words), making James' route total 80k words so far. And we're pretty much halfway through his story, so I guess, roughly estimating, he would end up with 150-160k words. So please keep this in mind; James' route is longer, and thus you will most likely only get a single chapter certain months! That's because it's a longer chapter than normal.
So, how many of you are going to bemoan the fact they want to date the older looking Neil, huh?

This is my favorite design of Neil so far... agh..... one day I hope we can dress up the male sprites for the date options... that would be so cool...

Count me in as a bemoaner, too. XD I love Neil, but older Neil is even better. Now I want to see older Caine. <3

At least Neil is the guinea pig for the new dating mechanic, so very soon you should be able to play new content for him!

Neil is my favorite so far, so I will be doing the bemoaning lol. But I’m super excite for Angela’s redesign.
