The game has now been play-tested before releasing early access to check for bugs. I've decided that you can now play the playtest version that I uploaded to my Discord server if you want to test the game for yourself. You are not forced to provide feedback, unlike my playtesters. The Early Access version will be posted here on October 25.

Introducing Fishing
When working on this mechanic, I thought to myself, “Surely these are easy for me to implement, right? "Well, it actually took me a whole week to finish, plus losing more brain cells. I wanted the mechanics to be in depth while making the minigame as simple as I could, and I am glad I was able to finish it within a week. I will be separating the explanation for the in-depth mechanics and the surface mechanics.
Surface mechanic (the mi...

For me, a sandbox wouldn't be a sandbox without fishing activity. In games that I played, like Stardew Valley, Skyrim, or anything that is open-world, fishing activities somehow exist. Whether it's one way to relax from roaming around or just doing it as a requirement to get a reward, it's there.
In this update, I will be working on its mechanics, making it a simple fishing minigame with tiers of fish to catch. I won't make it complicated, like making types of rods, strength of this, an...

Thank you for being patient. The game has now been updated to v0.3.1, with all new things added and changed.
Thank you for playing and supporting this game. Your feedback is very important, whether it is positive or not. It really helps to read all your concerns, problems, and suggestions about the game so I can make it better. If you want to help this game grow and make me implement more things in the game, consider supporting me so I can buy food.
I've finally got it!

Three new positions have been added based on your votes, and I have also implemented H-sfx in the hscenes. Since I can't show it here because I can't post a video and a gif at the same time, I have a link to my x/twitter post if you want to hear the H-sfx added. This H-sfx is played to the exact frame of an animation. I also added settings if you want to turn it off.

I'm done revising the code, and I feel very confident that this new code can help me implement new features as well. Also, three new positions have been added based on your votes.
Next week I will still be doing a poll to see who gets the new positions, and I might implement something in H-mode to make it a better experience, but I can't say what it is until I can pull it off.
That's it! Have a nice day!

Hello everyone! I finally got to take a break this week and am now ready to work on v0.3.1. v0.3.1 will focus on the game's technicalities, and I won't be adding new mechanics or locations. It's important that I revise some of the old code so that implementing new things will be easier and won't be a headache to read. Since this won't take too much time to work on because I'm getting better every day at what I do, a poll for whoever gets new positions will be available tomorrow.

I just finished working on Sherryl story 3. I can only show some part of it because I don't want to spoil what happens next (What I show may not be final).
In regards to Caitlyn's story 4, I will have to skip her story. This is because of a game design problem. To make it simple, the amount of story needed to unlock the H-scenes should be 4. More than that will lead to the game getting grindy. Story 4 will have something special and will be discussed after the public release.

Next update
The game had a problem with dating replayability, but the game has gone through many updates, introducing new mechanics and giving the player many ways to do what they want on a date. While the problem is still not fully solved and I still need to create more mechanics in future updates, all of the mechanics that were introduced are now enough for...

About the player's eyes and mouth. I decided to just add the mouth instead. Since the game started as a anonymous player, I will keep it anonymous, and about the expressions for the player, I was overthinking, and all it really needed was a mouth, and everything just works. Since I added the mouth, all of the story scenarios, interactions, and photo poses will also include the mouth.
I'm very confident that you'll enjoy this photo mode mechanic. I've added new photo poses to the charact...

Photo mode is a newly added feature in the dating system. You can make them do unique poses, move the character to a location, and take a picture to earn date points. The pictures you take will be saved on the phone, and you can choose to delete them or not.
This new feature is my proudest work so far because it enables player creativity in what they want to see in a picture. You can choose to be serious about it or just do whatever you want with it. This took a whole week to create thi...

I've been holding off on this decision on where the main character should have eyes and a mouth. It's always had a blank face, so it can remain anonymous, but with this new mechanic I made, without expressions, it just doesn't work. I will leave a poll asking whether you want eyes and mouth on the main character to give expression or just leave it anonymous.

In the earliest stages of development, I never thought about designing a good UI, and all I cared about was that it just worked. As the game got deeper into development, the UI became so cluttered that it left new or returning players confused, and the screen had so much going on, just like a common mobile gacha game. It needed to be simple and have easy navigation, so the UI has been improved. I pick the most common UI, which is a phone, since we use it every day and it has basic functions. ...

In the next update, there is this new mechanic that I want to implement. I can’t say what it is because I’m not sure if I can pull this off. If I can, however, make it work, this new mechanic will enable player creativity in an interesting way. But before working on that mechanic, the User Interface (UI) needs a change. I never thought about wanting to change it until now, s...

Partners now have three moods. Anger, happiness, and love When a partner is angry or in a bad mood, calls are immediately canceled. They have unique dialogues when talking to them in their free time and won’t accept to have sex. When they are angry, there is a certain duration that can make it last, or you can talk to them in their free time to spend time with them to lessen the duration. Spending time with the partner, if not in anger, can make them feel loved. Asking a partner on a date w...

A new area has been added to the forest location. Here is where Caitlyn lives, and as she describes it, it's very old and stuck in the past.
Two new positions added: Mary and Caroline
