Progress Update 14

Hey everyone! 

Here’s another update on the game’s development progress.

All Yao's event has been completed!
There are a total of 30 h scenes for Reiko and 7 for Yao,
so the initial release of the game will include 37 h scenes in total.

There will also be a future update that adds even more content.
We can’t say for sure how many new events will be added yet,
but there will be at least 6 extra events planned for the update.

Also, during development I’ve been thinking a lot about the game’s difficulty.
We want players to be able to enjoy the story and finish the game smoothly,
even if it ends up being a bit challenging or if they mainly just want to see the events.
That’s why we designed it so that players can keep upgrading their characters as long as they gather enough resources,
and the more h battle you trigger, the faster you’ll grow stronger!

That said, We’ve also been keeping an eye on player feedback and gaming trends.
This time, We will be adjusting the system a bit so players can choose their own preferred difficulty level,
based on how much time or challenge they want from the game.

The game’s modes can roughly be divided into a few different playstyles:

1.
We’ve never really designed virgin-event before, but I know some players enjoy beating the game without sex.
So this time, I’ve added a few new ways to earn resources outside of combat —
some of which can actually be just as efficient as H attack.
It’s still considered a more challenging playstyle overall,
but I hope these non-combat resource options can help reduce the repetitive grind a bit.

2.
For players who enjoy leveling up quickly through H event, things will feel familiar — just like in the previous two games.
By taking on various H events several times, you can earn plenty of resources.
In the mid to late stages, once your Arousal gets high enough,
you’ll unlock several special skills that let you clear out weaker enemies fast or boost your stats efficiently.
Overall, the difficulty is about the same as before,
though using those special skills will make things a bit easier.

3.
Some players like leveling up through H event but still want an easier time defeating each boss.
Normally, that means triggering event frequently before every boss battle,
which can feel like a waste of time for players who don’t enjoy farming,
are busy, or mainly just want to experience the story.
So this time, We’ve added a way to directly unlock Arousal caps and special skills,
letting you power up extremely fast and enjoy the main story without stress.

4.
And for players who only want to enjoy the story,
you’ll be able to access the Gallery right after finishing the prologue by visiting the Memory Room.
Lately, more and more games let you unlock a full gallery right from the start,
and even when they don’t, many story-focused players end up looking online for modified save files anyway.
So We decided to just include the feature from the beginning, no need to download anything extra.

That’s about it for this progress update and the plans going forward.
From here on, We'll be focusing fully on the story and map creation.
Unless there are major system changes, the next progress report might take a while to come out.
