[Build] // Pico Sim Date <3 - 0.52.1

Good Morning Friends~ <3

Phew... one more coming at ya! It was again one of those busy "IRL months" where real life stuff's been sucking out all of my time. So this one's definitely been a long time coming, but I'm doing my best to keep this going as fast as I can for you guys!

For this build, it's all about Context and the Front End :)

Alright! So there's a few things to go over here. 

First things first (literally), now that we have the Front-End in, we're that much closer to having a complete game. I'm thinking we should focus on each girls' path one-by-one, so that once we have an ending, it will feel like a complete game. This is instead of adding girl content bit-by-bit, where things might feel incomplete for longer.

Secondly, we now also have Context and Difficulty. By adding bits of story for the greater objective of the game, we have some contextual reasoning for challenge. And just like the older Pico games, that challenge is Time Limit.

Speaking of story, I've been compiling ALL the dialog and story into a Twine Project (pictured above). And as you might notice, there will be Multiple Paths for each of the girls, which also means Multiple Endings :)

This addition is more of a result of adding a range of Difficulty in the game. With different difficulties, we should have different rewards and endings. For those Hotties interested in the development of the game, I'll be releasing the WIP Twine Project for you guys so look out for that!

Also look out for up-coming WIP on Allie's Climax Event and Diary Entry Submissions, where you guys get a chance to collaborate and get into the game! :D

Phew... I hope that was everything. For our next build, it's probably going to be some Polish work, getting Climax Events into the game and support for the new features listed above.

So thank you guys once again! Let's keep going~ :)

Much luv~ <3
