Future new characters

Hello everyone!

First of all, I wanted to thank all of you who have downloaded the game and given me feedback. I really appreciate all your opinions and comments!

As I said, this game was born from an idea that came to me during my high school years, where my games were much worse than now because I had much less experience and resources. Now I think I can make a game that of course won't be perfect and in a year I'll want to remake it because I'll know how to do it much better haha but I think it will turn out very well.

In this update I wanted to talk to you about the characters that will come in the next update (I clarify that I don't know when the next update will be, it may not be soon, it depends on the free time I have to dedicate to this game). I created these new characters many years ago and now I want to talk to you about them. First of all, let me show you this image.

What you are looking at is a compilation of screens I made of the female characters I made in the game until I stopped working on it years ago. It's a game I made in RPG Maker VX Ace. Back in the day, I had a folder with main story data, ideas for more locations and girls, and a lot more data, but I'm afraid I lost it somewhere along the line. I even lost the original project. All I have left of that project are the few memories I still have and a compilation I made I don't even know when or why. A compilation only in Spanish (at that time I wouldn't have even thought of translating it to English) that doesn't even start at the beginning of the game, but at a random moment that I must have put in to test something. A disaster. At least, I remember it fondly, while playing it after so many years, a lot of good memories came to me.

Let me, out of curiosity, tell you about the five girls you see in the screenshot. By the way, I designed their faces in a face generator I found sometime by googling:

• Ruka: This is Ruri, the maid you can meet in the prototype of the game I have published. I changed her name because I seem to already use Ruka's name for other characters in other games and books I've made or am making (the other maid, Sumi, has no face and I'm afraid I don't remember her original name, so she will always be Sumi to us).
• Yumi: Haruka's lover/girlfriend (depending on your choices) keeps her original name and I tried to make her remastered design look a bit like her original design. If it were up to me, I probably would have changed her hair color, but I wanted to be true to my memories. By the way, do you see the room where Yumi is in that screenshot? It's Haruka's room, where you are at the beginning of the game. This is how I designed her room using default assets from RPG Maker VX Ace.
• Hikari: You guys still don't know anything about this girl. But I remember her fondly, I remember details of her story and I wrote a few scenes with her years ago, even an erotic one (one that can actually be played in the compilation I keep from that time. And it's really embarrassing to watch lol it's just text, no images or videos and with audio stolen from the internet).
• Hana: Another girl you guys haven't met yet, but who will soon appear in the story, just like Hikari. Honestly, I think I like Hana more than Hikari, even though I developed Hikari's story more. I hope to do a good job in my remake.
• Haruna: It's Haruka, the protagonist, of course. Haruka is her original name, which actually couldn't be changed at first, that's a new feature I'm including in the remake. Why did I change her name? Because of course, Haruna is the name of the protagonist of my most popular itch.io game: Love's Heart, so I didn't want them both to have the same name. What do you think of the face of her that I made back in the day? Is she cute?

Going into the faces folder of the original build of my game, I can see that the files are not encrypted and I have the faces of two more female characters that you also see at an early point in the game, but I will tell you about them another time, in another devlog that I publish with more curiosities.

Now let's get to the main reason for publishing this post, which is to show you the remastered designs of Hana and Hikari, who keep their original names. Here they are:

Hikari Ishiyama: The daughter of the mayor of Gyuusha, the town Haruka and Sebastian head to at the end of the prototype. A rebellious and strong-willed girl. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and doesn't usually show much respect for anyone. To her, Haruka is just an "important visitor" who is turning the mansion and town upside down. She can be very sweet and sassy if you keep her happy, but extremely aggressive if she gets angry. Do you want to give her something to be angry about? You'll be able to answer my question when I update the game!

Hana Ishiyama: The daughter of the current wife of the mayor of Gyuusha, I mean, Hikari's half-sister. She is a sweet and kind girl who is very hard to anger. She loves flowers and you will most likely find her watering or caring for them. In her remastered design, I have tried to make her love for flowers clear. Why do I say that she is hard to anger? What could possibly make her angry? Hikari, of course. Let's just say that these two don't get along at all. In fact, they hate each other with all their hearts and each has their own reasons for this. Which of the two will you support?

What do you think of the new designs? Do you like them? I hope so! In addition to this, I've also added a few plugins to my project to make it more enjoyable:

• A nice sign that indicates which day of the story you're on.
• A plugin so that when you make a decision where there are more than six options, they all appear at once so you don't have to keep clicking on "more options."
• A plugin that replaces the pause menu when you press the "Esc" key with Haruka's own diary. That is, when you press "Esc" Haruka's diary will open and from there, in addition to the current functions of the diary, you can also access the options menu, the save game menu, the main menu and even close the game directly. I realize that not all players will be happy with this. But I want to give as much importance as possible to Haruka's diary because I consider it a very important object for her and an idea that came to me as a teenager.

That's all I wanted to announce today. I continue working on this and the rest of my projects, I try not to leave any behind. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write to me.

Have a good day!
