v0.4 Updating progress & preview

We should have made this post several days ago, sorry for the delay. We don't have much time to communicate with our patrons these days because we are busy dealing with our works and studies. 

Making games is not a full-time job for us, at least it is not for now. We all have other works to do, and the end of a year is always the busiest period. （〒▽〒）

But we didn't shelve the updating of VIRTUES even at this time. By far we have finished half of the new plots and started to test the new changes at gameplay. We expect to release v0.4 update before January 18th for $5 patrons. Right now I cannot say many things about the update since there are still a lot of uncertainties. But I can provide a peek about some directions:

1. The college and Elisa's mansion will have a big improvement. They will become two major locations that are similar to your B&B house, which means more interactions, more events, and more available subsites. You will also be able to observe the activities of girls who live in these two places (Senning, Rachel, Irene, Elisa).

A rough preview (it won't be used in the release version. We just want to show you the idea):

2. We want to rework the MC's studying & working & sporting levels because right now they seem a little confusing and unnecessary to the game. We will see if we can find a good way to change them, or we may just remove them from the game entirely.

3. Further UI improvements. 

As for the new plots. Here is a sneak picture:

The new plots will be mainly about Senning. Rachel, Elisa, Irene, and Vera will also get some plots. We decide not to add anything about Theodora in v0.4 because we want her to play the most important role in v0.5. 

And here is a sneak picture of the extra chapter about Theodora that we are going to release before Christmas to $10 patrons (and one week later to $5 patrons):
