Its time for February’s first roundup!

As always, thank you for your continued support. Because of you, Heavy Hearts can continue development. As I mentioned in a previous post, chapter 1 should be complete soon. I originally intended for 5.2 to be out in January. I’m sorry, but I needed just a bit more time to crank out some sidequests and pixel lewds. Even though there is already an expansion to the latest H scene in the game, I did not believe that it was enough to consider releasing for. The addition of some side quests should make the game a bit more worth your time.

Update 5.2 will feature

- An expanded Lv8 Lorestone, with additional animations and images

- 2 new side quests with pixelated animations

- New tutorial featuring a Slime King (will have an animation after its completion, but not in this version)

- Luccia can now regenerate Poise by playing with herself. Its risky, because incoming damage is X2 while doing so.

- Kevin is no longer an optional character, and his portrait & bust has been implemented.

- Addition of 1 sidequest in the Cave level and one sidequest in the Wolf level.

- Introduction of new minor characters.

- A quest tracker, which should help people who get lost.

- The game now asks you if you want to save after completing each level. This should alleviate player frustration when they lose and have to go back to a previous level.

- Minigames featuring Dog and Rhed are now fully optional. Playing them will net the player some items, but no lewd content will be missed.

- Text Is now organically skippable. This should represent more respect for player time, especially those who have played it many times already.

- Some text that was missing translations has now been translated

- Fixed an issue where replaying Lv6 caused the game to break.

- Changed behavior of Red Lorestones slightly.

- Lots of spelling and grammar fixes

- Lots of bug fixes

As with all roundups, enjoy a few WIPS that are coming down the pipe. I am excited to whet the appetites of people looking for kinkier content.
As one last announcement, I brought on a more permanent Pixel Artist from Ragna Pixel studio that specializes is more fetish and kink content.
