May Development Update

This will be a short one, apologies for not posting much, but really there wasn’t anything to report that I hadn’t already outlined in the last one. This post will also be the only one before 3.5 is released.

No screenshots, because honestly there isn’t much to screenshot without simply spoiling the content. Sorry!

3.5 As it Currently Stands

Here’s a general list of the stuff that’ll be coming in 3.5. I’m very confident this will be out by the 15th, so keep an eye out in the days leading up to this!

Jen

- Two small intros to follow up on what happened last release, and to level her up as per usual. One of these events is still to be done. These levels are where Jen will remain for some time. (Much of the rest of her progression will be tied into stats/jobs etc, you can read about this in the last post)

- Club Content: A bunch of events allowing you to train her for dancing at the club. Featuring a small progressing story, and ending with a story event roughly equivalent to the typical ones. I hadn’t really planned that, but it just worked out that way. This will continue to progress as the club gets more upgrades.

- Public Content: A host of events tied to getting up to stuff in public. About half of this is currently done, and is probably the last major thing to finish before 3.5 can actually come out. This is also tied heavily with training some of the extra stats added last release.

Mel

- 3 Story Events: If you capped out Mel’s stats in 3.0 you can dive in right away to the first event. The first one serves as a sort of intro, setting up either the love or lewd route depending on your choice during it (it doesn’t lock you or anything, you just get some more context for what’s coming).

After that, the other two are for love and lewd routes just like normal. This setup is a little bit different than usual, but It’ll make more sense when you actually do it...hopefully.

- New Club Events: Of the personal variety. Unlocked by her first story event. They allow you to get the progress needed for the next events. With a couple extra text messages thrown in.

- New UI elements: Her own section in the character stats on the side and top bars, much like Jen. Also her own section in the goal screen to help you along.

This content will conclude the first of her love/lewd levels. For reference, I am planning 4 or so. The next big thing for her will be opening her up a little more for the free roam gameplay instead of just being tied to the club entirely.

Misc

- Club → Office Multijob: As I hoped, I managed to get this working for 3.5. So once you reach a certain progression in the club you’ll get a chance to become the office manager as well.

- Goal Screen Improvements: On top of what was mentioned for Mel, there is also now a MC section to outline various job related goals. Basically manager stat requirements for both the club and office to receive pay increases, extra rewards or unlock multijob.

Goal screen improvements are something I want to do on an ongoing basis, covering the side story lines etc for all the characters to help you figure what to do.

- Hopefully some new cheats will be coming for the extra stats

The Recent Poll

Thanks to everyone who voted in the poll so far. There should be a couple more weeks before voting closes and I’ll save any significant comments/results about it until after that.

I will say it’s already been useful. While the results seem to largely conform to my existing priorities, there’s one thing in particular I hadn’t expected to be so popular. So I’ll definitely be keeping that in mind for the future, assuming the final results don’t wildly change.

That about does it I think. As I said, 3.5 by the 15th. Thank you all for the continued support!
