Hey everybody! Gonna celebrate reaching 69 patrons by putting out a small gravure-photoset for whichever girl gets the most votes! Including side characters for this one as well!

Might do more stuff like this in the future as well to hold people over while I think up the major-content polls.

Introducing Kaori Kadowaki ~ The Newest Side Character

I wonder what the future has in store for her?

The next update releases in May and contains several of the longest scenes in the game thus far!

Most of you know already but for the people following the Patreon who aren't patrons, Lessons in Love 0.2.0 is now available! Links to the current download are in the About section or on the itch.io page (https://djnostyle.itch.io/lessons-in-love )

The release contains over one hour of new content, a brand new dorm, and a very special letter! 

Animation Testing With Yumi

Finally found a decent png to webm program! Quality looks meh on imgur. 

This is not canon.

Discord Server Is Up!

Hey everyone! Finally got around to setting up a Discord server for the game. Patrons will have special access to more previews, their own chatroom, and unique roles!

Check it out here: https://discord.gg/8WhWweT 

Thanks again for your support

LiL 0.3.0 ~ Side Event Preview Screenshots

Just a quick glimpse at some things to come in 0.3.0! 

The third release of Lessons in Love will come with 25 new events (8 Main, 16 Side, 1 Secret - This includes the new events for whoever wins the current dorm contest)

Sidenote: 0.2.0 Went public today so woo! 

Hello to any new patrons that may show up and thanks again to everyone who has stuck by me so far!

Started playing Persona 5 again, so naturally....

Which Dorm Room Opens Next?

Winner of this month's poll will have their dorm room and new events added to 0.3.0!

O World

Thou art cruel

Sara's Feeling Lonely

*Wink wink*

Kimono!

Might not be in the next release but I promise that we'll have a summer/festival arc eventually.

Haruka Redesign

The amount of detail in Haruka's model compared to everyone else was definitely lacking, so starting in 0.3.0, she'll look like this. The old version of her will be removed from the game entirely and the new and improved Haruka will show in her place.

Lessons in Love 0.2.0 Is Available Now! (Over One Hour of New Gameplay)

0.2.0 Launching Tonight!

Hey everyone! Just giving you a quick update to let you know that I'll be posting the new release here tonight. Just want to proofread the new content a couple more times and make sure everything is functioning properly. Saves from the last version will work. 

Thanks everyone!

GRAND OPENING: Room #2 (Ayane & Sana)

The people have spoken and, with 50% of the vote, Ayane & Sana are the winners! As such, Room #2 will unlock in Version 0.2.0 (Launching the first week of April).

Thanks for voting! Keep an eye out for the next poll!

FIRST LOOK: Sara Sakakibara (Sana's Mom)

Coming soon to a bar near you...

Sana's Original Design Sheet

Character design #3 out of 10!

Sana was the ninth character created for Lessons in Love and is the youngest of the bunch. Like Maya (Who was originally designed to be much quieter and a lot less...weird), Sana also experienced  a good amount of changes from the planning stage to the development one.

I actually had several different ideas for Sana, but I was leaning heavily toward a more chuunibyou-type character for the most part. Obviously, she turned out a bit different and...

LiL (0.2.0) Projected Release Date (And Previews!)

Hey guys! I've been hard at work since launching the game last week and, believe it or not, I'm ready to announce that 0.2.0 should launch for $5+ Patrons in the first week of April. If I stick to the schedule I've set, April 1st is 100% doable, but there is a chance it may be a day or two later if I encounter any game-breaking issues.

What will this update contain, you ask? Here's a breakdown!

CONTENT:

- 7 New Main Events

- 2 Rin Even...

CONTENT POLL: Which Dorm Room Opens Next?

Hey guys! Thanks so much for getting the Patreon off to a strong start. I can't express how much that means to me.

So, now that we're up and active (And well over 30k views across all boards the game is on), it's time for you guys to decide what happens next!

Which dorm room should open in the next build of the game? (NOTE: This dorm room's opening will come with 2 Side E...

Maya's Original Design Sheet

Here's character design #2 out of 10!

Maya was the second character created for Lessons in Love and was originally meant to be a lot more shy and quiet than she wound up being once I actually started writing the game.

Her character is supposed to be an enigma of sorts, not typically disclosing any information about herself (At least not yet). Even Ami doesn't know everything about Maya. She hints at this when she mentions that Maya just "Sort of showed up" one day in a conversatio...

QOL Improvements: Event and Affection Tracker

Coming in the next build! These new screens will be accessible from the quick-menu at the bottom of the text box and will give you a list of all completed/incomplete events as well as your standing with each of the girls!

NSFW [Futaba]: Sneak Preview of the Next Update

Here's a different sort of thank you to everyone who's pledged so far! This dorm scene will take place in the next update of the game (0.2.0).

Ami's Original Design Sheet

Figured I'd share some of the pre-game work with Patrons so here is Ami's character design! They haven't show up in-game yet, but all of the girls have swimsuit designs in addition to their other costumes.

Fun fact: Ami was the first character created for Lessons in Love and her design was heavily influenced by Akane Sakurada of Joukamachi no Dandelion. She is the only girl in the game that is inspired by a pre-existing anime character.
