Hi, everyone! 🥰🎶
Welcome to the latest KISS update for December 2023.

Before concluding this year, we would like to share some progress and additions based on the last playtest feedback.

[h2] Idol Costumes[/h2]

Our team has prepared several costumes for you to choose for your idol group’s debut, and here's one of them:



Some trainees will have similar themed costumes with different styles.

Now, we're curious – which idol group do you think has a great style? Refer them to us for inspiration! Maybe we might use it as a reference for upcoming designs.


[h2] Review Text History [/h2]

We have added a feature that allows you to revisit the dialogs you have acquired before.

To start with, here's the initial view (WIP) of the dialog history feature developed by our programmer while awaiting the UI design from the artist:



Then, our artist enhanced its appearance with an appealing UI design:




[h2] Number of Trainees to Manage [/h2]

We conducted a poll on Twitter and TikTok some time ago. The result was that many feel 5-6 members are the ideal number for a K-pop idol group:



But, how about you? If you missed the poll, feel free to share your thoughts by leaving a comment in the discussion below!


[h2] Stay tuned! [/h2]

[h3] Hi there, Manager! 📋📋📋 [/h3]

Thank you to everyone who tried our first playtest build and joined our Discord community.

We’ve received all of your feedback

Let's start with some major feedbacks that we’d like to address for future updates.
But hopefully we can finalize everything soon and having the Demo up.


[h2]👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼Feedback 1: Needs more trainees👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏼[/h2]


Yes, we are very excited about this feedback.
Since we will definitely be adding more trainees in the future.
We plan to add three more trainees, and currently all of the characters's characteristic were handcrafted or manually designed by our game and narrative designer.
In this first playtest, we hope to test the feeling of being a manager to better understand and get to know your trainees.❣️🥰




[h2]Feedback 2: English Proofread 📝[/h2]

We feel sorry if you've had any awkward experiences. But no worries, English proofreading is on its way.

Since localization requires a lot of work and cost, while we plan to add more languages in the future.
Would you kindly let us know which languages you think are important to have? 🙇🏻‍♀️
Chinese Simplified/ Traditional? Japanese? Let us know!


[h2]🎵 Feedback 3: Rhythm Mini games, QTE and other events 🎵[/h2]


There will be various mini-games prepared for the future depend on the schedules and events happened.
However, we've heard that not everyone is a fan of rhythm games or QTE.🎙️🎵
So, we will provide you with a chance to runaway. 🏃🏻‍♀️💨💨💨
However, in return, there will be some consequences regarding the rewards.

If you've been following our social media, you might have seen a few of them 🤫🔎
We can't wait for you to try them!




[h2]⏰ Feedback 4: The Playtest is too short ⏰ [/h2]


You're right. the current playtest's playtime is only 5 weeks, only half from the initial Demo's planned for 10 weeks long. 📋
But the goal we wanted from playtest is to understand your expectation about the game as early as we can. So if there's some changes, we can do that as early as we can.
While we have built the system, this playtest is just our first baby step.
In the next updates, beside more trainees, we will certainly have longer playtime.

📣So, please stay tuned for the next announcements.📣

While the playtest is still here until sometime, we will work hard and probably close it when we received enough feedbacks.
