The Interim Domain 0.28.0 Update #2

So, at this point, there isn't much to talk about regarding the game's narrative. The main story is technically at the end (and you may have even tried to play the ending sequence to get the bad ending), but there's a fair bit of content left to wrap up over the next few months. We're implementing the previously mentioned Story Replay and doing a lot of continuity fixes and updates to try and anticipate the numerous ways players can work through the game. For example, Robin's big story moment now has three versions depending on who's there (Marisa+Tina+Bud, Tina+Bud, MC alone). 

In terms of remaining content on the slate, here is our development map for the next few months:

• 0.28.0 - Finishing stories (Marisa, Anita, Robin, Roe), adding in two additional endings (Tina, Saaya). 

• 0.29.0 - Progressing and/or finishing the remaining girls (Kara, Natalie, Sammy), one last combo scene, and adding in three endings (Marisa, Anita, Roe).

• 0.30.0 - The last of Natalie's story and lots of endings (Robin, Kara, Natalie, a few surprises).

• 0.31.0 - Wrap up the last of all the planned content, including some features like "Unlock All" for the gallery. 

• 0.32.0? - Script clean up and possibly a hard mode. Maybe. This update likely will come later on and may turn into the 0.99.0 update, leaving room for a final patch.

After a clean playthrough this weekend to see how the average player might fare, there will be some adjustments in 0.29.0 of the game's difficulty to get the normal endings and the implementation of an easy mode which lowers the Qi requirement. A playthrough where you get most if not all of the like and love points was more than enough to get the good ending, but we wanted the experience to be a little more forgiving and allow for a few missed opportunities. Where the player will get the option to make that change is stuff being figured out. 

Also, we considered that the Easy Ending would be welcomed by those people who want to try a run-through without being romantically involved with anyone. You may say "Who?" but I know of one person who tried to do a run of Now & Then with the bare minimum of sexual content. With that in mind, there is a "No Choice" end in development as well that probably won't be implemented until 0.31.0.

Thanks for your interest and patronage,
