UI upgrading is nearly done:
The rewriting of B&B system began yesterday. We want this system to become a crucial part of the gameplay in the future. I don't have much information about it since we are still exploring all the possibilities. Ideally, we want to make it become something like Fallout Shelter with much simpler mechanics, don't know if we can achieve that or not...

Right now we have achieved the "badge thing" that I mentioned in the previous post, which is the most difficult part in this update. We have also rewritten the entire system of triggering events in order to let the badge work more perfectly.
Now we can concentrate on the UI & gameplay improving. I'd like to show a few demo pictures of what we have tried in UI improving.

Senning won't be an option since she has played this role in v0.2
2019-10-22 07:10:22 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the two previous version of VIRTUES, you might have found out our immaturity in game designing. The game system right now is grindy, primitive, and somehow boring. Well, this reflects our inexperience. We are all rookies in this industry, and in fact, we didn't even know a thing about Patreon or F95zone until we finished v0.1. We have great passion, the ability to write good codes and make good graphics, but we don't have the experience of making a good game. All we can do is keeping stu...
2019-10-19 10:12:35 +0000 UTC View PostWe call v0.1-v0.3 as "Inception Updates". The main goals for these updates are to introduce all the girls and settle the game mechanics down, not to bomb people with lots of meaningless sex scenes (though we know many people want to see them). We spent a lot of time absorbing feedbacks and exploring ideas in the past month. And now we think we have come up with a comprehensive plan about what should do next.
Right now the most important thing we need to deal with is this g...

By far we have completed everything besides the rework of "Vera's drunk" scene. So, yeah, I think v0.2 is going to be released on time, before October 15th.
As for the rework of Vera's scene, I am making a new branch of that drunken night, and rewriting the subsequent plots of Vera. You will be able to choose whether to get her in the old way, or to be a romantic gentleman.
Well, I'm quite satisfied with this rework so far ;)

I really enjoy the process of crafting characters, and I'm trying my best now to make the seven girls in this game unique from each other. I always think that a good lewd visual novel needs to have impressive characters.
I mean, I don't want people to feel like that they can complete this game by simply walking through all the CGs in the gallery. That will be such a failure for me.
So I am doing a lot of work to enrich the girls. I set them backgrounds, build their per...

I decided to post them a little bit earlier than planned. Hope you like them!
$20 tier reward for October will come later, as scheduled.
2019-09-22 10:21:57 +0000 UTC View PostBy far I have finished most of the CG & video for v0.2. And I'm writing plots now for like 1.5k words per day.
The programming work is going well, too. Hopefully, we can finish our jobs before Sep 25th. And then we will start to debug. It may take a lot of time.
We take the debug work extremely serious. As you may have noticed, v0.1 doesn't have any mentionable bug. That's quite a success for a game with many complicated mechanics and for a team with no experi...

2019-09-11 11:38:30 +0000 UTC View PostWe have noticed that it may be annoying to keep finding girls or developing MC's studying/working level everyday, especially when your money is limited and you have to pay $2000 every week.
So in the v0.2 update, we will try to do some changes and make things easier. Here is our plan:
The exp requirement for level up MC's studying/working level will decrease from 8 to 6.
The probability for increasing Vera's love thro...
2019-09-08 12:50:01 +0000 UTC View PostWe are planning to release the v0.2 to public no later than October 15th ($5 and above patrons will be able to play 1 week earlier). We can't make promise for this since we plan to add a lot of new stuffs, but we will do whatever it takes to speed up.
What new stuffs you can expect in v0.2:
1. At least 7 love level events.
2. At least 7 daily events. 2019-09-07 18:06:26 +0000 UTC View Post
