Hi everybody!
It's finally time for the public release of 0.5.1!
So, what's new in 0.5.1?
The TL;DR is that there is a new week of content, MANY new original music tracks thanks to Olivia Voss, a TON of UI improvements, new heart scenes for all contacts, a new VideoZone and four new Cinemaroll movies.
The bonus content from Icosa will receive an update in a subsequent release b...
2025-10-07 16:13:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey there, everyone!
So, first off, exciting news: All of the new planned features and story are implemented and 0.5.0 is officially in playtesting!
This means that the Patreon release is coming soon! If there are no hard-to-fix bugs found, then the Patreon release should be next week! I'll post an update when I'm confident it's good to go.
So, with that established, I can talk about the work that's been done. On the boring side, many bugs and typos have alr...
2025-09-16 20:27:06 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
So, we've reached the end of August and, unfortunately, I'm still working on the update. I don't want to speculate on a new release time frame, so I'll hold off until I have a solid date. (Okay, I will say that it will definitely be out for subscribers before the end of September unless something WILD happens.)
With that out of the way, let's get to the progress that has been made. It's quite a bit!
As far as content goes, all of the scheduled scenes and about h...
2025-08-31 19:56:50 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
It's been a while since I posted an update, so here we go! A lot of progress has been made since the last post.
Let's start with the writing and in-engine work.
The script for 0.5.0 is written and clocks in at around 25,000 words. There will be little odds and ends I still need to write as I implement gameplay features, but the vast majority of the update is written. This includes:
All the week's classes
All the week's scheduled stor...
2025-08-04 18:59:18 +0000 UTC View PostMinor update:
Add Silver's theme
Improved JoiPlay compatibility
Fixed bugs, including layered top image staying on screen
Fixed typos
Minor update to add a full body sprite for the layered top outfit, and fix some bugs and typos.
The update is now live on Itch.io!
2025-06-12 23:48:17 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
It's still early days for 0.5.0 development, but I thought I'd do a check in anyway.
Before I get into how development for 0.5.0 is going, let me share the new full body sprite for Luca's layered top outfit!
I'm excited to say that it will be coming in a patch along with some typo and bug fixes before 0.5.0 comes out. 2025-06-11 20:19:46 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi all,
It's already time for another progress announcement. I have some very exciting news to share this time!

Hey everyone! It's been a bit since I made a post so I figured it's time for a development check in. I'll also talk about why development has been slower than in previous updates at the end of the post, which is involves some very personal stuff about myself and my life.
But let's start with the development progress.

Hi everyone!
It's been a little quiet here, so I thought I'd do a patron only post to shake things up.
As far as 0.4.0 goes, I'm hard at work, but development and writing has been a tad slow due to some mental health issues I've been struggling with. I'm okay, for the most part, but my ability to get things done in my life in general has been lacking. I'm on a new antidepressant that will hopefully help with that, and I'm planning to ramp up development regardless and push ...
2025-03-12 20:01:23 +0000 UTC View PostSmall bug fix release to take care of some major bugs in 0.3.1. Also a few dialogue adjustments/expansions and typo corrections.

With the release of 0.3.0 done I'd like to talk a bit about the game's release format. I'm continuing to work on the game and I'm as passionate about it as ever. If anything, I'm hoping I can get updates out the door faster now that most of the planned gameplay mechanics are in place. This isn't a guarantee, but a good possibility.
In the future, Patreon subscribers will get new releases two weeks before the release is made publicly available. There won't be any difference between the ...

2025-02-22 09:43:31 +0000 UTC View PostI wanted to drop a more insightful post about content upcoming in 0.3.0.
Currently planned for the next release are the typical additions (more combat, more writing (probably around 10-15k more words), etc.) but I'm also introducing the relationship system. This update will give the player the chance to start earning relationship points with a few key characters, and will include at least one "spend time" event with one in particular.
I've also got art commissioned for this update...
2025-01-28 04:58:45 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
Here's a minor update fixing a bunch of bugs, typos, and adding a few new pieces of content. I'm hard at work on the next major release, but I wanted to tackle some issues with 0.2.
New Stuff:
- New optional event with Sarah, gives relationship point
- Secret mushroom fight
- Dialogue polishing
- Training events now tell you the steps remaining before completion/next level
- Trying to travel to closed locations now shows a "location closed" no...
