Happy Sunday! Hope you're doing well.

This week I've been working on the Mrs. Jiro side story. As seen in the header image, Jiro gets some fitness tips from Naomi! For Mrs. Jiro I wanted the side story to have a bit more build up. I wanted her to first experience how tough it is to make progress without the serum. (It also gives her a chance to spot some other girls in the gym)

Release?

Last Sunday I was confident I'd release it this week but unfortunately I've stalled a bit.

Since the camping trip ended early I was still on vacation with my family until Wednesday where we did some day trips. I expected to be able to just jump back into work on the game but I was hit with immense writers block.

Beriya, the man behind the scenes doing proofreading for the game, advised me to take more time off. Chapter 5 had me working like wild to get it done. So I took some more time off.

Thank you for your understanding.

That said, I still made progress on this side story and have been experimenting on other aspects of the game. I rewrote some code for the growth function to add a little breathing/pulsing effect to the sprites. This should make the FMG sequences feel more dynamic as each growth stage gets movement. I also worked on some of the art for the 5.1 release.

Poll!

Nene takes the win for March! Nene will be getting an origin story. What we learned about her when going for the Kasumi route will play into this:

The runner up is the StrongGirls dancer that escaped with the serum. I am surprised to have an unseen character rank so high but here we are! For this girl I've been workshopping some designs as I showed off in the NSFW Friday post and also on deviant art here and we are going for a Goth Girl. It's been highly requested for a while that the StrongGirls Universe gets a proper goth.

Roadmap for chapter 6

I believe I am done mapping out the scope for Chapter 6 - I will share here without story spoilers in hopes of getting some feedback.

Chapter 6 will cover Halloween, and will jump forward in time a bit to Christmas with most of the winter season being somewhat story focused. Regular girl stories/ date scenes will not be accessible during the winter as that would require me to make winter outfits and winter specific dialogue for all the dates, it simply isn't feasible. Regular gameplay will then pickup in march which will be where chapter 7 starts.

The idea is that chapter 6 will really drive the story forward while awarding the player with girlfriend specific christmas/newyears/valentines. So we will still get plenty of content for each girl.

In terms of scene count I haven't decided the exact scope, it will depend on the story scenes.

That about covers this blogpost!

Release schedule is:

• Mrs. Jiro side story

• Chapter 5.1

• Nene Side story

• ???

• Chapter 6

Hope you're having a great weekend and I look forward to sharing Mrs. Jiro side story with you soon!
