New Year, New Plans! 🐻✨

Hey everyone! I’ve been working hard on the VN, and I finally have enough content to start sharing more with you this year. So, here’s a little roadmap of what’s coming next:

📌 Late Jan - Early Feb: Finishing Character Sprites

Right now, I’m focused on finalizing the sprite models for the first chapter’s characters. So far, we’ve got three sprites fully done, complete with poses, expressions, and everything they need! For future builds, characters will have more pose variations as well.

🎨 February: First Interactive Game CGs

I’ve talked about this a bit on Bsky, Twitter, and TL, but for the first demo, I want to go all in. That means adding gameplay mechanics right from the start!

• 🔍 Inspection Minigame – A close training session with one of the love interests, featuring small animations to make it feel more dynamic rather than just static CGs.

• 🎵 Rhythm Minigames – These will influence character interactions and interest levels. Still working on the coding, so whether they make it into the demo depends on how smoothly things go!

• 🔓 Replayable Paths – Some paths will be locked initially. Players will need to earn keys or coins from different routes to unlock new ones, adding a layer of progression.

• 🏆 Gallery & Achievements Menu – I’d love to have both features, but whether they make it into the demo depends on how complex they are to implement.

📅 Demo Release Plans

Right now, I’m aiming to release the demo in March! Since this is a solo project, I’m making sure to have as much ready as possible beforehand—balancing both the art and programming is a lot, but I’m doing my best to make it happen.

In addition to the VN, I’ve also been working on another RPG game, but I’ll be pushing that one back until after the demo release so I can fully focus on this project. I also have some commissions in progress, so I appreciate your patience as I juggle everything!

📢 New Social Accounts!

To keep everything more organized, I’ve set up new social accounts specifically for the VN! If you want to stay updated, feel free to follow:
🐦 Twitter: LuckyUs_VN
🔵 Bluesky: luckyus-vn.bsky.social

That said, I’ll be using Patreon more actively, sharing more WIPs and models here to encourage support. I’m leaving this post public for now so newcomers can get a preview of what’s to come.

Thank you all for your support! I’ll be sharing more updates along the way, so stay tuned. 🐻💙
