Babus Update #70: Reworking like a charm
🕑 Added 2025-02-21 13:19:04 +0000 UTCOops! It’s been a long time since I last posted an update. Don’t worry, it’s not that we’re abandoning Angel Under—quite the opposite! We’ve been so busy with development that I keep forgetting to post updates on Patreon. I totally deserve a good bonk!
As I mentioned before, the main goal of version 0.10.0 is to rework the entire introductory section. It’s been a colossal task, but it’s practically finished now. Here are some of the biggest changes we’ve made:
The entire introduction (meaning everything before the Free Roam phase) has been divided into six different missions. This means players will reach Free Roam much faster, drastically improving the game’s pacing and making it feel much more open.
You can now improve your friendship with characters and access their exclusive scenes almost from the very beginning. Characters unlock gradually as the player progresses through the Main Quest: first Joybel, then Bolonia, then Suzume, etc. This makes each Main Quest mission feel like a meaningful reward!
The story has been rewritten to make all of this flow naturally. We’ve removed a lot of filler and improved character introductions (for example, Joybel is now introduced right at the beginning). While the main events remain the same, the experience will feel much lighter for those who aren’t big fans of lengthy reading.
We’ve fixed all the small inconsistencies in both narrative and tone that had built up over time.
All of Bolonia’s NSFW scenes are now optional and will work with friendship progression, just like Suzume’s. This also gave us the opportunity to add more dialogues with Bolonia, making her relationship with Milo feel much more gradual and rewarding.
My feelings about this rework are simply incredible. The game now feels much less like a guided visual novel and much more like a world full of choices that gradually opens up. It’s amazing how much the experience changes just by restructuring the content!
Now that this rework is practically done, all that’s left is to work on the most exciting part of the update: Erin’s content. I know you’re all dying to see it. I’ll keep you posted!
See you soon!

Not really! As always, you'll have the option to Skip to the new content, and you won't lose a lot of context since most of the story remains the same. :)

Thank you! It will not disappoint you :)

So now I'll have to do the whole introduction again. And hopefully for the last time. No offense.

Cool stuff, can't wait to see it in action. I did feel that the intro section was a bit long winded, so I'm excited to see what the restructuring has in store!
