Morning After Update - First Development Milestone Reached!

Freshmen: Physical Education
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hey there, everyone! I'm here with a status update on the next story release for Freshmen: Physical Education, The Morning After Update. As the post title says, the first development milestone has been reached—I've completed an early dev build that adds new story content for Matt, Evan, Owen, & Julian!

A "dev build" in this context is an early, in-progress version of the game that has a significant chunk of content fully implemented but not all of the content that will be in the final version. Each dev build marks a big task off my checklist, and since there's playable content, I share these dev builds with higher tier Patreon patrons as a sneak peek.

If you're a Senior or Graduate Patreon patron (or would like to become one), head over to this Patreon post for download links and more info.

Read on for all the details, plus an announcement about a fan fav character that I think will make many of you very happy...

New Story Content

This current dev build includes:

  • Continuing the storylines that ended at Matt's apartment
    • Hooking up with Leo
    • Passing out drunk
    • NEW: A sober way to stay over without hooking up
  • Continuing the storylines that ended at the frat house
    • Hooking up with Julian & Owen
    • NEW: The beginning of a new romance path for Evan
  • 20 new CGs featuring Matt, Evan, Owen, & Julian, plus a few supporting players

New Romance

Yes, you read that right, Evan fans—as many of you requested, Evan has been upgraded to a romanceable character! As I wrote his new scenes, I realized that it just made sense for both Connor and Evan to want to pursue that path. Evan's story continuation is very cute and very hot, and I'm excited to show even more of him as the game develops.

Here's a look at the first of several new Evan CGs, which unlocks through a new option that lets you watch over him after he passes out at the party:

More to Come!

There's still more on its way as every guy's storyline continues the morning after you made all your big choices. What's now being created includes:

  • Follow-ups to the stories that ended at Griffin's place and in your dorm room
  • A continuation through the day from the showers to your classes with Tomas & Will
  • An optional encounter with Will that follows up on your earlier proposition
  • An optional explicit sequence after class (which I do hope you opt to play!)

The next development milestone will be a dev build that adds waking up at Griffin's place and the many various ways you can wake up in your dorm room. There currently isn't an ETA as to when this build will be done, but I'll make a post here when I have news.

Thank you for your support!

We recently passed the two year anniversary of the game first being posted here on Itch.io. The game has grown so much since then, and it's the continued interest from all of you that has kept me diligently working away. Thank you for following along with the game's development—a lot more fun stuff is on its way!
