Dev Update #13

Greetings, everyone!
It’s been a little over two months since the last update, but we're finally here, with the release of the first Dev Update for Netori Day 5.

This one has been long overdue. But as many of you know, I was out of commission for most of December, and catching back up with work and long-term plans has been an ongoing challenge. I truly appreciate everyone’s patience during that time, certainly this will not be a repeating occurrence.
I won’t get into specifics of what happened during the period, let’s just say... they got me. I was absolutely wrecked with those new memory prices. But we’ll call it the cost of progress and move straight into what you’re actually here for.

This year is going to be a very active one. After Day 5, I may move the Futa on Futa path's story forward to Day 4, working toward its conclusion around Day 6 or shortly after.
There’s been a lot of love for this path, and I regularly get messages asking when it’s returning. That continued support speaks volumes, and I’m excited to give it the attention it deserves before shifting fully into the Netori path's weekend events.

With so much downtime, I’ve had a lot of time to think about the direction I want to take this path. Tying every character together in a fun but meaningful way wasn’t easy, so I’ve decided to let it unfold mostly in pairs. There’ll be a strong emphasis on Milly and Andrea, with gradual progress involving Natalie when the timing is right.

With it's resumption we'll be keeping it fun, unapologetic, and free from overthinking… especially compared to the more story-driven formula of the Netori route. That’s all I’ll say on that for now.

Now, onto the next update:
The upcoming release will cover Netori's Day 5 morning update. It includes a solid amount of content spanning the morning at home and multiple school events. I want to keep things moving at a fast pace, taking every opportunity to create lewd scenes wherever possible. Stretching things out just isn’t fun.
Because of that, characters like Amelia will see progress right from the start of Day 5.  At this pace, I’m hoping I’ve timed things well enough to fulfill my small promise of bedding a new girl almost every night, at the climax of their NTR stories, until the dawn of Week 3. There'll hardly be repetitions at least during the night. So who is next is up to your imaginations.

There will also be the upcoming weekend events, where I plan to strike a balance between NTR progression with new characters and more NTR events with already tasted characters like Hana and Sophie in a new environment.
All in all, it’s shaping up to be a very busy year, and this post would never end if I shared everything I’m currently writing to lead up to Week 2.

I did have a big surprise planned for the holidays, including planned content I never got to make, and a short story about FWON’s original direction, telling how Milly evolved from a prominent character to replacing Ollie as the protagonist of FWON.  I'd say it's one of the best decisions I’ve made for the game, but that’s a story for another time.

Finally, a reminder that since Day 4, I have moved away from splitting updates into Morning, Afternoon, and Night releases. We’ll begin with a substantial morning update, followed by the remaining Afternoon, Evening, and Night events all dropping in version 1.5.2 for the payoff. That’s the structure we’ll be sticking with going forward.

It’s shaping up to be a great year. Once again, I wish you all a fantastic New Year.
That wraps up this Dev Update. More details will be presented in the upcoming Sneak Peeks. And the update will be ready sometime in February.

Until then, stay safe and stay healthy. Ciao!
