Weekly Report: Improvements and H-Dialogue

Mall Re-viewed
During the development of the mall location, I've wanted to try making it more of a top-down view than an internal view and see how people react. Turns out no one really complained about it, but I have to stick with how the game is viewed from the very first time it's made, which is an internal view. The mall view has been changed from top-down to internal.

Improvements to Minigames
At the start of the minigame, the tutorial will a...

Weekly report, Introducing H-mode Perspective

Just when the game released as version 0.1.0, I already had a lot of ideas on what to implement in the game. One of the ideas was the ability to get a closer look at the scene. It was an ambitious idea, and after reviewing how good my pixel art was then, it wasn’t good, so I had to cancel the idea. One day, my friend reminded me of that idea again. I feel confident in my pixel art, so I gave it a shot. With that, I am very happy with the result of the pixel art, and I hope you guys will lik...

Weekly report, Introducing achievement system

I'm going to do a weekly report from now on since last month I didn't do it, and this is better so you guys can know what to get in the early access.

Added an achievement system with 18 achievements implemented as of now for you to unlock. What I wanted in an achievement was to include gameplay effects when unlocking it, and so I made it happen.

An example is when you get the "Promotion" achievement working in the general store and get more points playing the minigame.

Som...

Learn The Heart V0.2.1

I made a poll stating that I will no longer be doing Patreon versions, and patrons can play the early access one week before the game gets released. A lot of people agreed to this, and now the game no longer has Patreon positions, and cheats are now available to everyone.

For the patrons, I’m sorry that the Early Access has a lot of bugs. It just happens whenever there is a new feature that is implemented.

In the next update, I will be introducing achievements. These achievement...

Learn The Heart v0.2.1 Early Access

Learn the Heart v0.2.1 EA includes Sex sounds, H-mode Immerse, 1 New added Item, 1 New location and 1 New dating minigame.

Sex sounds
As promised, because the goal has been reached on Patreon, sex sounds have been added to h-mode. The sex sound has its own system, and it's very flexible. What does flexible mean? It means I can hire other VAs to voice other personalities, like shyness, the ara-ara type, or something else. Only specific positions, like sex and BJ, are ...

Top 2 will be given new positions Round 2

I just finished making the two new positions in the last poll that won, which are ffm threesome and Sylvia, so here is another round of who will be given new positions. Also, I can only add FFM Threesome to the house because it only makes sense.

The system for the sound during H-mode is also finished; I just needed the right voice actress to make it work. You might be surprised by this new H-mode option because I added something weird again.

Again comment on this poll if you want...

About releasing content and Top 2 will be given new pos

It has now been decided how I will deliver content. There will be no more weekly updates or Patreon versions. Instead, patrons will get to play the Early Access build every third week of the month before the public release.

There is one thing that I didn't mention in the last poll: making Patreon-only positions requires that I make at least two positions in that area, so the first one is free and the second is Patreon-only because of how the H-mode system works. Now that Patreon-only ...

In regards to releasing content

Whenever I release a new update, there are always new positions that are added and locked, and some positions that were locked are now unlocked. That's how it's been for months now, and believe me, it's really a pain to have separate builds for the Patreon version and the Public version. I've been thinking about releasing all the Patreon positions for some time now, so I don't have to make separate builds.

Not only that, but releasing weekly content has its downside. Sometimes there isn...

Learn The Heart V0.2.0

Improved UI and small added changes
When a new player plays the game, they are often confused about where the date minigames in the area are. I added a step stone for the player to move to that area. It has two colors: the pink one represents the date minigame, and the blue one represents the date interaction.

For Newgrounds players, unfortunately, I cannot implement cloud saving because my saving requires multidimensional arrays. I can however convert it to 1-dimen...

Learn The Heart v0.1.14

Learn the Heart v0.1.14 includes 2 new positions, some improvements to art and an intro scene for Caroline and Eul.

2 New Positions

Introduction to Eul and Caroline
A cutscene will now start when you go to the Gen. Shop or Library. A partner's introduction improves...

GOAL REACHED TO 500

Thank you for your support, everyone! Since the goal has been reached, I will now be finding a voice actress to add voice acting to the H-scenes. The H-scenes voice acting has its own mechanic and requires further testing because I didn't want it to just be moaning sounds just running on loop. I will be working on it next month since I already have plans for what to work on this month. The goal will remain and will be changed after adding the voice acting in H-scenes.

Again, thank you ...

Learn The Heart v0.1.13

Learn the Heart v0.1.13 includes improved visuals for the game.

Improved visuals
When I was still new to pixel art, I used black lines just for any object, but now that I am better at pixel art, I feel like it doesn't look good for me. Most of the black lines have been recolored to match the object. 

Also, the game before didn't have much going on in the background. I've added animations to some objects like birds in the park, small water waves at the beac...

Introducing new partner Sylvia
Sylvia is an elf who lives in the forest with Caitlyn. She is rude and isn't easy to get along with. She is a new partner that can be dated.

Added 2 positions for Sylvia. She still needs more positions, so I won't be doing a poll next week.

A thank you message to everyone!

When I first started making Learn the Heart, it was just a sex simulator. I wasn't good at my pixel art and programming back then, but I really wanted to improve. People giving feedback on the earlier version on what I did wrong and what to improve helps me as a developer moving forward.

The game was just a sex simulator back then, but I wanted more. I wanted the game to be fun and feature-rich, give life to the characters I made in it, and introduce new systems to give the player the b...

When the game was first released, I added a cat where you can pet it, b...

Learn The Heart V0.1.4

Hello everyone, and a very happy new year in advance. Last week I said that I would be adding 4 positions, but I was too busy preparing for the new year.

Anyway, thank you for supporting this game. I have so many ideas I want to implement in this game, and I'll do my best to create content you won't expect.

Next month I will be working on giving story 2 to each partner, and hopefully I can introduce a new partner with it.

Lastly, if you encounter any bugs or glitches, please...
