A small update
🕑 Added 2018-10-04 10:17:08 +0000 UTC Hey guys,Just wanted to let you know what I have been working on, as this would normally be the time to post a preview.
As you know this update I intent to clean up all the redundant dialogs/code, fix bugs and implement player requests.
This helps me ensure that I can fully focus on content updates after this one, without any problems, all the way up to finishing the development!
This is what I have finished so far:
- Improved the overall UI.
- Seperated each girl's storyline a bit more (most side stories are still dependant on at least one other girl, but no longer as convoluted as before).
- The same goes for event conditions.
- Discovering new locations and contacts has been made more intuitive and no longer based on random values.
- New map locations will now be shown when opening the map.
- Redid the entire tutorial, adding the new mechanics and making it more user friendly.
- Added a star icon to memories & cosplay image thumbnails, to indicate if they are new.
- Added a bunch of sounds effects and updated some old ones.
- Added UI animations (also added an option to turn them off in the phone settings).
- Spacebar to skip to next dialog, for all those one handed players :P
This is what I'm currently working on:
- A more balanced gameplay (needs decrease & stat gain).
- Updating all the old dialogs/events.
- Improving the hint system.
- Making the primary stats play a bigger a role and adding several mechanics to increase and use them.
- Redoing the condition mechanics, making it less likely to run into bugs and adding an easy way to fix your game, if you do.
I'm aiming for a release 12th or 19th, depending on how much I can get done.
After that, I'll focus fully on adding new content.
Thanks for being patient guys!

Ah, I see what you mean. Well the cheat module actually has the option to go back in time, but I feel like implementing that in the main UI would break gameplay a bit.

There are times I am day dreaming and click past the time to ask one the girls on a date or I accidentally eat on Sunday and so I miss going to the beach and I either have to restart where I left off last time or go through another week. I am sure this far into the game it would be difficult to implement where I can use the wheel on my mouse to reverse time if I accidentally go past a specific time or event.

Holy cow! You have been busy.

I agree and honestly it's a bit of a challenge. So while I'll try to optimize and balance them, I'll leave the cheat mode in as well, just to be on the safe side ;)
I'll be interested to see what you do with the needs, currently i just use the cheat mode to ignore them because they are far too super massively grindy, which kills all the fun. it's a shame though, could add a good level of complexity and strategy if done in a way that doesn't make you want to kill yourself then smash your computer... ;)

Do you mean while in a dialog? Reversing all the results after making a choice will be hard as there's a lot going on behind the screens. But there is a dialog history option to read back the most recent dialogs.

Is there a way you could make it so we can back up if we need to??
Faerin
I don't intend to add those, as they are more of a side thing, they are not required to complete the storyand are a lot of work to add. However on my Discord there are some player made guides with all the locations.
Is there any chance you can add hints for the cosplay stuff? Thanks.
