Devlog 10/18/24 💻✨ + Chapter 6 release 🎉
🕑 Added 2024-10-19 10:46:10 +0000 UTCIS IT TIME? IS IT FINALLY HERE? Yes, my lovely patrons, at long last it has been completed. BEHOLD, chapter 6 is now on Itch.

You can play now here!
And these are this chapter's tags: 
I hope you have a fun time playing & thank you for your support and encouragement while I was working (and struggling) on this chapter, it really kept me going :3
And I'm SO RELIVED this chapter is finally done, and also very sorry this one took me forever. I do love this chapter, just because I'm a sucker for romance and angst, but there are some things I wish I could've done better, too.
I don't currently have access to my drawing tablet (accidentally uncovered a huge hole in my wall hidden behind some wallpaper and have to stay out of there due to my bad lungs), but I did draw how I'm currently feeling with a mouse:

Please give me some cute, fun ideas for the next bonus chapter because I need a break :p
⚠️ Spoilers below! ⚠️
New Addition 1: The rest of it
Finishing a chapter up is really the hardest part because I have to comb through the script and make sure all the animations are triggering at the correct time with the correct layers active/inactive, have to spell and grammar check (thank you so much to the people who offered to beta read, but ya'll know I'm too much of a control freak + I'd feel bad + I don't know, I have complicated and not really logical feelings about it), and have to draw extra sprites for things I forgot to add before.
For instance, I forgot to draw Theo shirtless:
Also, there were SO MANY BUGS that I had to fix this time around and uhh, there might still be a clothing bug that you encounter. But hopefully not because I think I fixed it.
Quality of life updates based on suggestions from previous devlogs 🙌:
I've made it so that, once you've played through a bonus chapter, you don't have to enter the password for that bonus chapter again. This has been added, but please note that you have to play the bonus chapter to the end for it to save, even if the bonus chapter has a green checkmark on it (sorry, this was just the easiest way for me to code it) 👍
In chapters where the player wears an entirely new outfit that the player did not pick out (this doesn't include them getting naked) there is now a note that appears on the dress-up screen.
I have also removed the cancel button from all dress up screens other than the one on the start screen because it didn't really make sense & was also creating some weird bugs.
Alright, I think that's about all for now. If you catch any major bugs or spelling errors, please do let me know if you feel inclined to :D
Have a super wonderful weekend everyone, I will be hopefully napping through most of it 🌈

The MC's facial expression during the scenes with Theo is so adorable!

I use a game engine called Construct 3 which actually mainly uses visual scripting, but I also program some more technical things for the game in JavaScript :) It's great for artists. Also, thank you for the idea! I want to flesh out some of the existing characters a bit more in the next bonus, but I will keep your idea in mind for the future 👍

What are some of the programming languages that you use for your game? Also, i think a chill and cute idea for the extra chapter would be helping a character try something new with a bit of a tsundere vibe ^^
Welcome to Heaven
Hmm, I guess I have been calling ya'll...well, "ya'll" a lot, haha. I don't want to foster too much parasocial behaviour (is it obvious that I once had a super obsessive fanbase, and now I'm scarred, lol?) but maybe a cute, non-possessive nickname like "clouds" or something could be nice :3

A sequel to the chapter 1 bonus chapter where Sam gets to break in more of her gear would be cool. Your pet play scenes are always so wholesome and cute. Never going to tire of them

Worth waiting for, thank you for all your work heaven. I appreciate your commitment to inclusivity and letting people pick and choose as to suit their comfort. It means so much.

In little text error news, the only things I saw were when they were cleaning the wound and “heaven” wasn’t capitalized (But I could be wrong about that one), when they were talking about the poster, Theo’s sentence wasn’t capitalized, and right at the end where the player says “I’m a magic.” (I also didn’t know “bleary” was a word.) All told, not bad at all. I’m definitely seeing improvement in catching these. Go you!
Caliburn
That escalated quickly. Well done, truly. (Check replies for text reports)

This was fantastic, thank you for the new chapter :3

Out of context, that fact that one stops for rapid emergency sex while being actively hunted down by a shadow organization that employs teleporting homing angels with big "fuck you" swords is honestly comedic. Good chapter was very nice and wholesome, 10/10 would read again :D

fellow CS student, currently struggling my way through C, I feel your pain. I believe in you!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Thee chapter is so good. but also worrying. A bug that I saw while playing it. if you can even call it one. was that my character after the scene with Theo has for a split second short hair instead of the chosen one. but yeah. as I said only for a second and I don't really see this as a big problem. But thought I would let ya know :3. I have to go back to my Computer science classes preparations tho.. This chapter was a nice break :3. Studying Computer science is hard :/, and im only in my first semester. kdcnisvjejvisj Anyways. To everyone Reading this. Have a wonderful rest of your day, stay hydrated and take your meds if needed :3

This was more than worth the wait
