DEVLOG 6 : 100 Reviews and some news !

Hello there !

I'm proud to see that we have reached 100 reviews about our game! That's awesome!
And mostly very positive! It's very kind of you!
We really want to make a game you like to play... And it seems that we are on the right track !
So we will continue !!!



Now some news about Episode 3 !

The 2 last weeks were slower due to childs holidays.
But we have finished 3 scenes and 2 are remaining before Grace's party !

We really think it will be a good and fun update for the players.
We have made some improvements about the navigation during the episode like this one :



You will have to click on the "girl" you want to follow and you will see her part of the story, then the story will continue. You can even pass if you don't want to see these side stories !
It's not a navigation map but we think it's more efficient for the game than a map to click. It's visual, it's simple and you know what you are doing all of this in one click.
Tell us what do you think about !

All those scenes are finished, renders included, animations too...

We are currently in an harder part : coding the second trial !
You will have during a day class a new trial based on the Education.



Gabriella will give you a tablet and you will have some questions to answers in a limited time.
General knowledge, logical or just luck... Your rank will change depending on your result ! And some bonus will appeared for those who have a good education level (I'm talking in the game of course !) !

Others characters, during mini scenes before, and depending of the paths and choices you made before, can give you some tips... Don't miss the tips in the discussions, or in the renders...

I let you there, we have some code to make ^^ We really hope it will works as intended...

See you later for, I hope some news about the Grace party !

DEVLOG 5 : EPISODE 3 PROGRESS

Hello everyone !

After a few manipulations, the new setup is installed and the first test animations have been made. It works more or less as expected and that's good!



The first scenes have their images and we will soon move on to the second part (of three) in this episode, namely a new test. I won't tell you more but know that education will be at the heart of this test :)

The third part will be the one that I suppose many of you are waiting for: the party at Grace's!
This may take us a little time given the evening, the choices, the activities, the little free-roam etc... But we really hope that you will enjoy what we have planned!



Finally we will close the vote for Ruby's dress! Many of you voted and on our support sites like on Steam you agree on the dress that Ruby should wear. So this will be it!



Honestly it wouldn't have been our first choice, seeing Ruby as Girly... It's weird! But we're going to do it :)

Given the size of the event planned for Grace's party, we will probably stop episode 3 after the party as was originally planned. As a reminder, episode 3 was originally made up of the extended update of episode 2 + the day and the party. But to improve the end of episode 2 and have a more logical breakdown by 'day' of play, we preferred to spend this part in 2 and focus 3 on the day of the party.

We don't know exactly how much playing time Episode 3 will represent, this time some paths are well differentiated and certain scenes are only accessible according to your previous choices... So we're going to try to calibrate this like the others.

I will let you know when the second part and the test are done, we will then only have the evening to do. In the roadmap we planned to release episode 3 for June and for the moment we are on track. With hotfixes for Steam Deck, translation corrections, the extended update, we have made pretty good progress and we will try to continue this momentum by going faster on images and animations thanks to our purchases.

See you soon !
