Some rework done!

While we wait for some animations to be done, we take this opportunity to do some remodeling to some of the images previously done. We wanted to keep the game as faithful as possible to the original art, so we started to do some rework on some screens.

Here is an example: the original was done in a rush, so it wasn’t as great as we hoped. After some rework, the image is closer to the original art.

We strive to make a game that everyone can enjoy without losing any quality. We ho...

New map!

There were several new changes done to the game for the upcoming release. Among those changes, we needed to create a new world map since the first one we made was a little over-saturated with buildings we didn’t need and had no space for places that would have activity and give us some room to grow in a much simpler and cleaner way.

This is the new map, set to appear in version 0.04, soon to be launched. We hope you like it!

We are getting closer and closer to launch day!

We are very excited that we are making a record-breaking time delivering our next release. We normally take over 5 months, but we are doing it in less than 3! We think it is only fair to deliver updates faster so players can keep enjoying the game while the story develops. Also, we want to give some love back to all our Patreons who are awesome for supporting us each month.

Here is another sketch from background scenes to be used on our next release. Right now, it’s taking us more tim...

Let’s rock this joint!

We previously mentioned that for the upcoming release (scheduled for the end of July if everything goes as planned), we are introducing a dating system in which the MC can take girls out to have fun. The love, lust or friendship with the lucky girl will rise or lower depending on your actions during the dates.

We wanted to create some challenges for the player during these events, so it’s not so simple to “please” the girl. So, thinking of possible places to go and have f...

Who's up to for a friendly game of pool?

When taking girls on a date, you have to think of activities that they might like. The outcome of the date will depend on who you ask out and what activities you do while on the date, so be creative! 🎱

Teaser time...

I think we are a bit overdue on some previews, so here is a sketch from a scene to appear in our next release. As our Patreon, you get a glimpse of what’s to cu... come!... to come! You guys know what I mean.

Thanks Sweetieline

Looking for ways to promote our game, we reached out to some gamers and cosplayers asking for some help to promote High School Days, and we would like to thank Sweetielin3! Not only did she agree on helping us out, she also went out of her way to create a Chloe cosplay!

It’s time to celebrate!

It’s been a very long and complicated road, but we finally reached a small yet significant milestone on our journey.

We reached our 100 Patreon mark!

Maybe this would not be very meaningful for some people or larger developers, but for us, it marks an important part of our story. It is no secret that we faced difficult and sad moments, but we have kept moving forward.

We have always given our best in creating great content with good art and a crazy story s...

The Final Frontier

For some people, the final frontier, that ULTIMATE goal, is to get into a girl's bedroom. So, for our next release, you'll get the opportunity to join a certain someone in her room so you can both have some "quality time" together.

Hopefully, you'll make the most of this magnificent situation!

More locations means more fun!

In our next release, we will be releasing new places for our MC to go and meet people or invite some friends to have some fun.

New mechanics will be introduced so you can tell if you are going in the right direction or if you took a wrong turn.

Stay tuned for more news soon!

Hey, everyone!

Just a friendly reminder that we continue to work towards building the best game out there thanks to your continuous support. We will be bringing good news soon!

Wallpapers

For all of our Chloe or higher tier patreons, we just uploaded to our gallery some scenes in 1080p High Res so you can use them as your desktop background.

To view and download the images, go to: https://thehighschooldays.com/wallpapers 

Hope you enjoy these images! There are more to come soon!

Character Reveal

Since part of the upcoming release will be focused on Ginger, we need to create a background story and environment. That means some family as well.

So with that in mind, we would like to present to you all Pamela!

She will be our first MILF of many to come, and our MC will have to interact with her to get closer to Ginger. She might get in the way, or she might help you out. Who knows? You will have to find out!

Who is she?

Here is a small teaser for our next release! This girl was requested by some of our Patreons to be the next girl to take the scene, and we are delivering! In our next release, we will introduce dating mechanics so the player can go out with girls and, depending on his performance, the reward he might get.

Can you guess who she is? (Although it’s kinda obvious!)

So, what's next?

After finally releasing v0.035, we can start working on the next adventure for our MC! We already have some scenes done so we can hopefully deliver v0.04 faster than any previous release.

We would like to thank all the players and their feedback! We were able solve all the bugs reported and we change the course of the story to please the most requested features.

And, most importantly, we would like to thank all our valued Patreons for their continuing support of this game developm...

Beta version 0.035 is out

It’s been a long and complicated road, but we got there! We present the release of the beta version 0.035 for our beta testers (Chloe Patreons and up). This version is a complete, playable game, but only staff members have tried it out and tested it, so it serves as a way for other people to play it and get some feedback regarding the changes and the new additions made to the game.

Unfortunately, since some of the core code was modified, the older saves won’t work anymore. You will ...

Well, that can't be good!

There are text messages that will put a smile on your face, but then there are other ones that will make your blood run cold.

We are just a few days away from launching our beta release; we are just finishing building and compiling some data and done! It should be out this Friday, so just hold on!

Thanks for all your patience!

We are a few days from launching our Beta release!

After a few months of hard work and very, very sad news, we are just a few days from our Beta release. For those who don’t know what this means, it’s a pre-release of the game to our higher Patreons so they can test the game before it is completely finished and try and point out any bugs it might have. Is not a fully complete version of the game, but is pretty close to it.

Once all beta players have said there are no bugs, we will release the game to everyone else; this typically ta...

Current status

First off, we want to thank all our Patreons for their constant support in the development of this game; without your help, none of this would be possible.

After launching 0.03, due to Jorge Break’s health reasons, we found ourselves having to slow down the production speed to give him time for his health to improve, but we never stopped working. Thanks to the support of various collaborators, we continued pushing the game’s development, always waiting for Jorge’s triumphant retur...

Farewell Jorge!

The HSD Game team profoundly regrets the passing of our dear good friend and main illustrator, Jorge Break.

Jorge was a good friend and coworker and an essential part of our team. Going on without his unique talent will be difficult.

We will move forward with the project of which Jorge was an active part and our hearts and condolences go out to his family and friends.

Can't wait!

Summer time can't come fast enough…

Filling in the blanks

On the next release, we will fill most of the blank areas, some parts of the game used to show a “Under development” signs, on the upcoming release we will remove most of them allowing more activities for the MC to do.

Also, some of these activities will lead to future events and actions, like spending sometime by yourself watching TV or inviting someone for some “Netflix and chill”

New guide and log system

There has been some discussion about what some of our players ask or want for the game. Some say that it is too easy, that is has too little dialogue, and that we should make it a little more difficult. On the other hand, some players say that it is very difficult, that is has too much dialogue, and that we should make it easier. 

We believe that the game should offer a little challenge and not make things so obvious. It should have gameplay and competitiveness. A little challenge ...
