Hello friends! Early access for the October update is here.
This update's biggest area of new content is the new observatory in the Hallowell cluster. A new set of extra credit tasks takes place here, you can visit the planetarium alone or with a friend or date, and there's a gift shop with several new items.
Other than that, I've been extending and polishing a bunch of little things ...

Hello friends! Once again, it is dev diary time.
This week, we turn our attention to the October monthly update. Where the last monthly update was mostly dedicated to extending Greek content, this one is a bunch of different things.
I have addressed one more thing about Greek life, however, and that's the storylines for the roommate and their partner, and the BFF. These would be somew...

I've continued my work on NPC simulation stuff this week. It's still mostly backend stuff, but I've begun surfacing some of what gets simulated as a prototype Elkbook timeline, which I'll show in a moment.
I've seen some concerns about save file size, processing time, and all that. I share th...
2025-09-19 18:34:31 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends! We are currently on v0.7.1g after some bugfixes following last week's update. Barring anything unexpected, that's probably it until the October update.
But now it is time... to discuss the next major update.
So there's no confusion, especially for new supporters, when I say "major update" I mean a roadmap update which will take some time to complete. We'll see several s...
2025-09-12 20:15:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends! The September update is here, which mostly focuses on extending the Greek life system, and also adds a new game and hobby shop.
Greek house upgrades: You can now build renown for your house through various means, and gaining renown will unlock upgrades that unlock special rooms, let you better see to your needs, and help you earn more money.

2025-09-07 18:43:41 +0000 UTC View PostWelcome! You are, if you so desire, about to help determine the direction of the game's next major update, what will be version 0.8, by selecting which roadmap item(s) I focus on next.
I do two types of updates for this game: monthly updates, which extend existing content or add smaller pieces of new content and, true to their name, come out once a month; and roadmap updates, major pieces of new content that generally take multiple months to complete. Typically I do a half-and-half and ...
2025-09-05 20:04:10 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends! It's time for another Friday dev diary.
I'll keep this one fairly short as I also plan to post a poll in short order. I've mostly been working on tying up some more loose ends for the Greek content, in addition to fixing bugs and so on. We're currently on v0.7.1c, so if you haven't updated since the start of early access, you may want to! In any case, public release will be c...
2025-09-05 19:41:36 +0000 UTC View PostHello friends! Early access for the September update is here.
This update's focuses:
Extended Greek life: More events and more interactions have been added to bring out the Greek flavor on campus, including individual introductions/recruitment pushes from each house. We have also added the underwear raid, a new repeatable event.

Hello friends! How are you doing? It's time for another dev diary!
This week, as we near early access, I'm continuing to extend the Greek life content added in this month's major update. I'll continue work in this area in the week between early access and public release as well. Of course, there's a lot I could still do with Greek life and I'm not calling it finished, but it is about time t...
2025-08-29 18:13:18 +0000 UTC View Post Hello friends!
We are on v0.7.0n! This mostly contains minor fixes, but there is one exception. I'll spare you a really long explanation and just say that SugarCube doesn't really like having class instances in save data, which is unfortunate because it's a technique we've used from time to time, and a particular glitch can sometimes cause a weird error that looks like "patched is undefined" when you...
2025-08-22 20:29:41 +0000 UTC View Post Hello friends! The release of 0.7 is behind us, so we're back to regular dev diaries.
We're currently on v0.7.0m. I believe any major-to-moderate issues have been smoothed out by now, so if you've been holding off, it's a good time to jump back in. I've also included some new and updated art from HeartsDmise (check out the new app and internet icons) and a couple additional font choices.
Next, ...

2025-07-31 21:00:13 +0000 UTC View Post What a week! I find myself wishing, often, that game development was actually just about developing a game and not dealing with things like a mass-delisting of all adult content by one of the biggest online games distributors. I will keep this diary about actual game dev talk, but if you want to see my statement on recent developments at itch.io and find out how you can help push back against corporate cen...

So, I had done a lot of work on pledge tasks, parties, party activities, and the houses themselves, but there was still a lot to do to connect these systems!

2025-07-18 18:42:56 +0000 UTC View Post Hello friends! It is dev diary time once again!
This past week saw the release of the July update, which more or less completes the background weather simulation and adds an X-rated video site your character can build a minicareer with. After some bugfixes, the current version is 0.6.7g, out just now, so be sure to update! The link is in the previous post.

This will be a bit of a short one, not because I don't have a lot to report but rather because I'm a little bit in crunch mode with the project I'm trying to get done ahead of public release!
First of all, one new feature (I think it's already in the latest early access version) is the pass...

Our volunteer contributors have been quite busy this month! You'll see a number of credits in the changelog so far, and their hard work has really added to this update. I'm still working on it myself as well — as often happens, I want to give it some more time, so I'll be expanding on it in the next week leading up to the public release.

2025-06-30 20:44:14 +0000 UTC View Post Greetings, friends! Happy Friday, and happy dev diary day.
I've spent most of this week expanding on the weather system and better integrating it with the game. Weather and seasonal events are meant to be a major roadmap item, so in doing it through monthly updates, it ends up happening a bit piecemeal. Still, I think weather itself is fairly well-integrated now — aside from adding more events and ...

Our current version is 0.6.6d! If you're on an earlier version, strongly consider updating, as a bunch of bugfixes have been in the latest updates.

First of all, I've just updated the early access build to let you see the changes made this week. I know it's just another day till public release, but even so!

It's been a little while! I was on vacation for the last couple of weeks. I'd had vague plans to add some June update stuff in my downtime, but I ended up not really having downtime, and on top of that, I've been sick the past few days! As a general rule, I like my progress reports to be about things I've done rather than things I didn't manage to ...

Wow, 80 dev diaries! That's nearly 81 dev diaries. Really makes you think.
This'll be a pretty short one (edit: it isn't), as the release this week has taken up a decent bit of time.

I decided to make it so that you would really see these a lot in relation to starting conversations with people, ...

We're in the midst of early access (currently v0.6.5b — update using the link from the previous post if you're on an earlier version!), so no need for a progress report as such, but I do want to talk about one new thing coming with this month's update.
