Hey everyone!
I want to update everyone on how this release is going.
== The Plans ==
tl;dr: The $5+ build will release Aug 30th (~noon EST) and will release to the public very early Monday morning, Sept 2nd. This is a 24hr delay compared to what was the previously targeted release date.
== The Reason ==
Across the board, this build is still a WIP. Art, sound, quests, etc all still need polishing and ...

Hey guys!
Today's update is pretty straight forward but I've finally figured out when the release date will likely be.
The $5+ build is planned to release on Aug 28/29th! The public build should be released on Sep 1st!
Because the month changes over that weekend, I want to try pushing the release up a day sooner than usual so patrons don't have to deal with the payment switch in the middle of the early test period.
Originally I wa...

After a hot day at the beach, sharing a delectable Popsicle is the perfect way to cool off!
Here's an early look at one of the new scenes coming to the next ToP build! This update will have two things in common: beach themes and the number 3 ;)
Development on the next build is moving along well. I'm thinking the release will be either Aug 22nd or 29th for $5+ Patrons depending on how fast the rest of things can get done. Stay tuned...

Hey everyone! I'm here with another ToP update to share the workings of the upcoming Summer build!
== New Costume! ==
It finally happened, the MC received a new costume! In past seasonal events, I either lacked a sprite editor or wasn't able to commission a costume swap for the MC so he's been left out but not anymore. With the Summer Event, he'll be able to stay cool in some simple swim trunks!

"...But, you do enjoy it, correct?"
Here's the first look at one of FIVE new costumes coming to the next build of Town of Passion!
You can also see a teaser of another costume over on my Twitter
This build should be a pretty fun and different one from the other seasonal events. In the meantime, Cullen's been going absolutely crazy on finishing up some other n...

Hey everyone!
It's time to start looking into the next Town of Passion build, Beta 1.4! This build, like a few in the past will be focused around a special event in the Book of Tales to wrap up a packed Summer season.
Some recent favorites as well as some other classic characters will be getting some fun new outfits and will be sharing plenty of special time with the main character ;)
Stay tuned as more teasers and a release date are announced!

A small update is available for WINDOWS devices only currently (Android will come later). If you have been affected by the Null Width error, this is another update for you. If you aren't affected, there's no need to download this update.
The download link on itch has been updated so you can find it there!

I got some excellent feedback from people previously affected by the Null Width error and it appears that the previous update (1.3.4) didn't fully...

Quick update- the download links to ToP have been updated from Beta 1.3.3 to 1.3.4.
These builds aim to fix the black screen issue that some players were getting during Haru's final scene.
This also fixes Akane's spring event which was broken during the scene player updates.
Thank you all for reporting these and other glitches. I am still monitoring feedback on the null width errors so be sure to continue reporting those if you find any on either B1.3.3 o...

The latest major update for Town of Passion is now live for a public release on both Windows & Android!

I've updated the $5+ Patron build from Beta 1.3 to Beta 1.3.1. The download link was automatically updated in the original post.
This build fixes a number of glitches including Evelynn disappearing, puzzles not working as intended, and a very strange Flower Shop ;P
Iirc, none of the glitches were game breaking so you don't necessarily have to update although it might save you some issues especially with the early part of Evelynn's story.
Thank you all for your sup...

I just wanted to make an official public announcement about the next ToP update. It'll be releasing later this week!
I'm expecting to release it to all $5+ ToP Patrons on June 28th and then the public release will be July 1st.
If possible, the $5+ release may be a day early so stay tuned. It just depends on how fast I'm able to wrap things up.

I can't even come up with a clever text for this scene, it's just too cute haha.
Haru and the MC grew up together in the village so their story has a lot of passion and feeling behind it. I think it'll be a great way to finish off the original batch of Passion characters.
The build itself is progressing very well. There's still a little bit of art that needs to be completed and I'm still working on the dialogue and what-not but I'm hoping to be able to release ...

In addition to working on Haru's storyline, I asked Sassquatch to help revamp some older scenes every now and then to help the game feel a bit more consistent.
We started that process off by revisiting one of my personal favorite scenes with a special rose. Can you notice the visual improvements here?
In addition, this scene will get a fun little echo scene to breathe life into one of her more exotic costumes from a much older update!
The scene has also been properly a...

It's time to start sharing details on the new Town of Passion update!
== Beta 1.3 ==
The focus on ToP Beta 1.3 will be on the swift ninja, Haru! The younger sister to Akane, Haru is much kinder and light-hearted warrior. Despite her cute appearance, she still is trained to kill those who threaten the people she protects.
During this build, you will get to play through her story and build a strong relationship with her!<...

The Android build of ToP has been updated from 1.2.2xa to 1.2.3a
I did some private testing and found that increasing load times during scenes helped the Android build's performance so in an effort to help stabilize that version of ToP, I've created a dynamic loading system which results in slightly longer load times if you're playing on mobile. This gives each image...
2019-05-09 16:15:36 +0000 UTC View PostAfter releasing the Android build to the public it was apparent very quickly that there was a nasty crash causing the game to become nearly unplayable for many.
There's a 'width null' error popping up for a lot of players when a scene begins so I've tried to do some things to fix that.
-Implemented Auto save that triggers at the start of each new day to help minimize progress lost
-Upgraded base RPGM files to improve stability

Two part update here:
== Android Version ==
The Android version is now available to the public! It seems the game is playable with no major issues. The only problem that sort of 'haunts' the Android build is the null width error which is primarily a memory related issue.
Be sure to save frequently and if you are playing on an Android device, make sure it is a modern and up to date device when it comes to your average CPU/RAM specs...

The Android build will also be released to the public in the next 2/3 days assuming this currently uploaded version is stable enough!

Yet another hotfix has been released! There were some glitches with Mary's wardrobe due to the addition of a new plugin. This build should have fixed those issues now.
There was also some weird behavior with Akane's shadow clones in the new event. I was testing out a 'smart-movement' plugin that seemed to have too many weird side effects. Her clones are now a little more 'dumb' but hopefully the oddities that were happening have stopped now.
Other misc fixes as well ;P<...

Can you guess who or where this scene takes place? There just enough details for you to possibly figure it out ;)
Work on the new build is going great. This build is honestly pretty crazy. The theme 'Spring Cleaning' comes from the fact that I want to dedicate this build to finishing up a lot of the 'backlog' that I have for Town of Passion.
As such, I'm finding that there's so m...
