Today is the public release of 0.1.5, so you should check it out if you haven't already! Spooky night indeed.
This weekend was busy as hell, so I'm happy to get back to this! This past week I focused on guests for 0.1.6, and fixing bugs and on feedback from the wonderful people that played the 0.1.5 Early Access.
I'll continue for a couple more days on actions for Misaki and Kenichi. Also...

Yo! This will be the last update for the 0.1.X branch! I want to close this "phase" by making the base ryokan more full and smooth out the rough edges. After that, I'll begin to work on the 0.2.X branch, so the world can expand outside the inn (which I'm dying to do). But first need to address some things! So the objectives are:
Hello! The 0.1.5 was supposed to have just 1 CG plus some very basic events to indicate the players that characters would follow you know. But I can't control myself, and now I've expanded it a bit more. The update will have 3 CG plus a bit more intricate events.
I shared this sketch over discord a bit ago, the other 2 are completely sfw :) I'm liking drawing more and more as I practice more, so I'll do a poll soon to see which past event people want to see a CG for. My current two opti...

Hello bois! I've been drawing a bunch and working on events, I'll probably have the EA release later this week!
Won't share any WIP, instead I'll share some concepts of the game since it's been a bit over a year (September 2022) since its first concept.
I worked on other game projects, learning art, 3D, coding, but always kept thinking about making an eroge, similar to old illusion games (@HomeMate, Sexy Beach 3 and Artificial Girl 3 were the main inspiration).

Last week I announced that I was gonna work on polish and get things done on my to-do list, and it's been _very_ productive. In chronological order:
Dialogue system: I don't use Ren'Py or other engine focused on text. Since I use Godot, a more generalist engine, I have to make and code those systems.
No one requested this, but I really wanted to make portraits transition into other portraits. I had to scratch my head for a bit for this, but I got it. I did this by...

Hello once again!
I made a couple of posts over on Reddit and they got a bit of attention (152K views!) so a lot of new people around, so welcome! Marketing takes way more time than I expected tho, and answering everyone has been very time consuming, but I like interacting with people. I don't make much, but some days I consider having someone take care of social media and posting (the days I post something with high traffic I take more than 4 hours replying in total), but the problem i...

How is it going!? Another busy week! So 0.1.4 went public this weekend, along a hotfix with multiple bugfixes. Hopefully things start to get more stable now!
So! Right now, starting lewd events in free-play is uninspired and boring, so I wanted to make something more interactive. The idea is that once you unlock lewd with a character, an option is unlocked, to have them follow you, which I showed in a previous devlog (Chase edition).

CHANGELOG
Yo! This past week was about 90% spent on doing events. I can do them relatively quickly if I don't need new sprites / portraits / CG (which is never the case). I almost finished 4 new ones.
I added some small functionality so events can require other character events to trigger (in this case, to continue with Aya's story line, you have to reach Chiharu's last event, since it ended the way it d...

Hello you wonderful people! I'm working hard on new events, and a lot of that is not really visual, so I will be brief today.
This past week I did some events, and the lewd one I feel is really nice, so looking forward to seeing your thoughts :)
I started prototyping about NPCs following the MC.

Bugfixing and testing is a bitch! The things I planned to finish early, took some more time than expected. The first half of the week I was coding so the player could spend money on a shop screen, and those things to be integrated permanently. Right now it's very ugly, just some buttons on a screen, but I want to make it prettier.
Since I have to take into account old save files, after lots of testing and considering seppuku, it's fixed. It's specific stuff, like saving on an updated ve...

Rundown of the week!
Worked on a bathroom system so characters can go to the toilet on their schedules. Pretty sure I can't post that on public so I shared a preview a couple days ago. Here's a quick video of it:
I didn't intend on being able to talk to characters from the other side of the stall wall, but that will allow some fun things, so I embraced it.
We had a p...

Let's see what I was working on this past week! I got so sick these past two days I've been having a hard time even reading, but now I'm starting to get back to normal!
Public release for 0.1.3 and hotfix. I made a small program that reads a .csv from Patreon about patrons so I can calculate pledges and put it in another .json so I can add people to the credits (can't thank you enough for supporting the project!). Right now it adds patrons to the credits with the Follower rank if they r...
2023-07-31 15:51:39 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick hotfix for a bug that happened when a character event was flagged, other characters schedules were stopped, so it had a chance of spawning old repeated events.
The public release of 0.1.3 is here! More and more people are interested in the project than I initially though, so I want to thank all of you for following this! I'm already working on the 0.1.4 release so please also look forward to it!
The game finally features some lewd action with its own mini system! It's the first iteration so I hope to improve it soon. In the meantime, you can give me your much appreciated feedback! Hope you like the new scenes and reworks!
Now the game fe...

Alright! On Friday the 0.1.3 went on early access for patrons. To those playing, hope you like the update!
The public release will go a week after, so this Friday is the public release of 0.1.3!
As a recap, this week I spent a good chunk of time on the second event for Misaki. Sprites, portraits, CG... :)
Aside from bugfixing, balancing and preparing the release (and a hotfix yester...

Let's get to it!
I'm almost done with the last event of the update, so that's still planned for this week! I also want to add a small thing before the early access so you can repeat a certain thing with a certain character :)
My gf went on vacation so I'm spending a lot of time working in the project. She left me her british shorthair blue cat, which cheers me a bit when he's not trying to mess with my cables :D

Hello there!. Let's share some progress! This week I focused on two things: scenarios and the systems for the lewd scenes.
The lewd:
Yesterday in a patron only post I showed a bit the lewd system, but the gist of it is that you control the speed of the characters, where you try to hit a "spot". Every time the spot is hit, the climax bar rises. When the climax bar reaches the top... you can imagine. The more I do it, the more I like making cum in pixel so there's t...

Alright! This past Saturday I released the 0.1.2 update. Last week I worked on:
Adding the guest married couple to the ryokan (added also one sprite for each) and the base yokan menu; adding the music system and sfx system, made the button sounds on Cakewalk; new portraits and polishing a bit the events and actions.
WHAT'S NEXT
I want to start adding lewd scenes, so you can expect AT LEAST one of those. Which character? Secret!
The married couple will ...

Hello there! Nice progress this week, almost done with 0.1.2 update, will be out this week!
Events and mood: I finished the events for this update, and I have to say I'm liking them more the more I do. I started adding dialogue choices in events, and they affect mood. I've always liked this in dating games and I'm sad that not more eroges incorporate the idea.
If you a character is mad at you, you won't be able to start events with them or talk to them. In the fut...

This week I was busy studying my corporate law exam, but it went great so we are back to business boys! No more studying til August.
Progress! The first two events for Aya are done. I would love to have some feedback on length, since they are supposed to be tidbits of development between characters, so trying to make them short but significant. Eventually there will be some slice of life events, but for now things must move forward because I REALLY want to start m...
2023-06-12 15:46:40 +0000 UTC View PostWhat a week huh! Release went better than expected, and we are already quite some people on discord, which I'm enjoying way more than I thought.
Let's recap: after receiving feedback on performance, I've done an options menu (which wasn't super fun to code, but it really adds to the feeling of playing an actual game). Performance went from 100% to 30% after checking vsync, so there's that.

This started as a different project back in September 2022, then in March I pivoted to the one you see today. I wasn't feeling it so I needed to change a lot of it. I reused a lot of code thankfully so all my time didn't go to waste. If you'd like to see the old project and the old weekly updates, you can search for "Love Inn F95 Development".
I'll post the weekly updates here from now on, open for everyone to see, I want to share the journey with as many people as poss...
