Update comes out tomorrow
Added 2021-06-02 02:07:24 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
I'm about done with this demo. I'm currently just struggling to finish adding the new outfits to the game. I'm adding a system to randomize what outfit is picked in each day when the characters are wearing their casual clothes, allowing the game to have a little more variation. Right now I'm just trying to square away some of the bugs caused by it.
While it shouldn't take too much longer for me to finish, I do need to sleep, so I'll be posting the update tomorrow night (about 24~26 hours, so posting after my classes end for the day).
In the meantime, here are a few images to show what it's like when the randomization does work. I'll also be posting an adult short story for free sometime in June or July featuring Shoichi (along with an illustration of it) as a way to apologize for all the delays.

Shoichi looks sooo good in the hoodie <3
2021-06-03 05:30:44 +0000 UTCVery nice
2021-06-02 17:29:53 +0000 UTCI love Shoichi in the sleeveless hoodie he looks so handsome!!! 😭💚💚💚💚💚
2021-06-02 06:37:47 +0000 UTCOh really! Well she did a marvelous job! The only one I haven’t seen yet is Keisuke, which I’m sure she’ll probably post on Twitter maybe but either way everyone looks so good though. You both do an absolutely amazing job on this from you to your writing and to her and her drawing it’s all so good. Tennis Ace has been my #1 favorite for the longest and it’ll stay that way! Oh and don’t even get me STARTED on the music 😍😍😍😍 is there any way to listen to the soundtrack by any chance??

2021-06-02 06:11:33 +0000 UTCOof man, gotta love unexpected trouble! Totally understandable why your taking your time though, better to iron out these things early so you can take on the next issue when it pops up. Knock on wood
2021-06-02 05:45:51 +0000 UTCHa, Yuu in a dress shirt... Never thought I'd see the day of him out of a tank top. That'll take some getting used to. Heh. Keep up the good work but do not neglect your health ok? I think (Well I hope) I can speak for the majority of the fans when I say that we'd rather you look after your health and delay a release versus over taxing yourself.

2021-06-02 02:58:32 +0000 UTCThese are a really nice touch.
2021-06-02 02:57:49 +0000 UTCAwesome! Thanks for responding!

2021-06-02 02:48:25 +0000 UTCYeah, that sounds like quite the process 0-0

2021-06-02 02:48:10 +0000 UTCWe were both definitely rushing. We kept yelling at each other to go to sleep because we'd be messaging one another at 7~8AM with updates and then immediately going "Wait, why are YOU awake?" back and forth

2021-06-02 02:42:38 +0000 UTCOh yeah. I had to change the type of composite sprite used in the Ren'py code and that caused a bug at the seams of the images, leaving gaps and cuts where the character expression meets the character outfit. It's why I'm having to take longer...

2021-06-02 02:41:58 +0000 UTCI don't appreciate it, though. I'm only doing it cause my therapist is on my ass about it. Something something ADHD brains suffer even more on low sleep than neurotypical brains.

2021-06-02 02:40:59 +0000 UTCAll the props go to Nyaruh. Unlike the first set of casual clothes, which were my suggestions and research, I left the design of the second set entirely up to her!
Basket
2021-06-02 02:40:23 +0000 UTCAlways happy to see some visual quality updates. I appreciate you not absolutely obliterating your personal health. As an added bonus for this month, more Shoichi! :D

2021-06-02 02:37:51 +0000 UTCThere are only two so far, but this system DOES mean that, if I decide to add more in the future, it should be pretty much plug and play
Basket
2021-06-02 02:33:50 +0000 UTCAbsolutely fantastic idea, I'll be wanting to replay the entire game again and again to see all their main outfits then!
Coda
2021-06-02 02:23:45 +0000 UTCOh wow, yeah, that definitely sounds like it took a fair amount of effort. We certainly appreciate it though, this game truly is something special :)
Donut
2021-06-02 02:22:16 +0000 UTCIt's a tedious process but I gotta say, as a player, this adds so much variety and life to the game. It's gonna be really appreciated just wish it wasn't a pain for you! Can never add something without bugs popping up their ugly heads lol
2021-06-02 02:22:00 +0000 UTCYou know I have been wondering what shoichi’s 2nd outfit would look like but I WASN’T expecting this!!!! It fits him so well!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Rustle Tasmania
2021-06-02 02:19:55 +0000 UTCShe sure did! She also touched up the shading on his arms, which meant we had to re-export every single body sprite of his to make sure it remained consist between all the outfits.
Basket
2021-06-02 02:19:51 +0000 UTCYeah. The problem is that, since there are a lot of CGs made using the character's first set of casual clothes, I need to go hunting the game's script and adding exceptions to every day where there is a CG showing their casual outfits. That's part of the reason why I'm having to slow down a lot more than I initially anticipated.

2021-06-02 02:19:13 +0000 UTCThe routes are going to be merging again for a little while, so there'll be content for A, B and C here. It'll mean that on a singular playthrough, it'll be on the shorter side, but that can't be helped.
Basket
2021-06-02 02:18:26 +0000 UTCThat's really cool! I can't wait to see it in game! Also, wow Nyaruh did a stunning job on Sho's outfit
Donut
2021-06-02 02:14:18 +0000 UTCOh man what a cool system! Looking forward to the update and story, no worries about the delay!
2021-06-02 02:10:55 +0000 UTCLove it! Hope you are doing okay and the short story is a pleasant surprise! If I may ask, what route is this Shoichi update for? Really wanting A!
