Major update! The hangout mechanic is done! You may now have conversations with all your favorite toxic girls! 15 unique interactions with each! Depending on how you act is how close you will get, maybe close enough to have a proper date!!! Be careful though, you may know what she wants to hear but it may turn out to be counterproductive for you in the long term.

The girls are more expressive than ever with brand new portraits! Also enjoy a brand-new button sequence minigame! With that we have 3 different types of minigame in the game... I wonder if that's set up for anything.

Anyway, enjoy the new update! Hope you have lots of fun, while I take a bit of a rest, but don't worry, the next update should not take very long!

Brand new UI for the game! Including a new font, new textboxes, new effects! The pause menu has hearts floating in the screen! And there's a new sound effect for text scroll. I hope this helps differentiate it from other RPG Maker games.

That's not all! Three new songs! The girls have new themes, to reflect their personality, I hope you enjoy them!

But there's even more! 4 new minigames! One for each one of your stats, Athleticism, Charisma, Empathy and Reflexes. Win for a chance of raising them to the next level! Ang believe me you're going to want to do this! It's going to help you when you go on dates.

Speaking of, with this update everything is ready for the implementation of dates! With that I'm hoping this game will reach my arbitrary standard for "Demo Worthy." Next update won't take long! So please stay tuned.

The Dates have been implemented! Enjoy three brand new scenes with the girls, depending on which stat is higher you can have a good or bad ending.  Also, your choices inside the date will influence how it all turns out, of course sometimes the best choices are barred behind a stat level requirement so be sure to have your Athleticism, Charisma, Empathy and Reflexes as high as possible!

I have to say, this one took a bit longer than expected, but the reason is a good one. I had the opportunity to participate in a playtest, and the feedback I got helped me change things for the best. I've decided to add more npcs that point out certain important places, as well as mark the transitions points better. Finally, I added a little scene to make sure you find work in a timely manner. 

I think, and I say this every time, that updates will slow down from this point on. I have the basis for a good demo, so you could say that this is the experience you should expect from the finished game. Of course, considering there'd be more, more dates, more girls, more locations. We are working on 2 new girls that are in the design phase and 1 new girl that's in concept. Also, exciting news, we're very close to adding a pixel artist to our team; with them the last part of the "generic RPG Maker" look might change. 

We'll continue working on the game, and please remember any feedback or criticism is appreciated. 

Told you it was going to be a little while longer! But a new version of Please Don't Ruin Me!!! is live!

I had some down time since I am in negotiations with a very talented pixel artist to revamp the art style of the game and leave behind the generic RPG Maker Sprites! Thus, I opted to not create any more scenarios till it’s a done deal, or it falls through and I must start the search again.

However I decided to use my time to change some important things that have been bothering me, The UI still wasn't at a point I was happy with, and thankfully I found a plug in from VisuStella_MZ to give it that final push. I ended up incorporating a lot more or their Plugins!  But I didn't just add plugins and called it a day, The girls screen has gotten a major makeover. Bigger portraits, a Bio and you can also see how many dates you've had together! Also, there seem to be some Mystery girls?!?! 10 of them?! I wonder where you would meet them.

That's not all though! The game has a new mechanic gifts!  The store in the east part of town now stocks them, giving them to the girls for a variety of benefits or drawbacks! All the girls have:

Gifts they love

Gifts they like

Gifts they are indifferent to

Gifts they dislike and,

Gifts they hate

You can only give one gift a day to the girls... Except for Jessica, she will take as many as you give her, just be careful when doing that ok? You don't know how she might react to a surplus of gifts.

A new vandalism scene is available for Artemis!  She must be mad at you for it to activate, so if you want to see it, try ignoring her for a few days. But if you do, know that the map will change permanently, and it might affect some characters and how they view you. (I know I said there would be no more scenarios for a bit, but this had been planned for a while now).

What's next? Well while I wait to see if the pixel artist is on board or not, I think it's time I started checking grammar and syntaxis in the game, it is not the most fun thing in the world, but it's necessary.  After that I'm looking at revamping the combat system, it's the second half of the game and it needs as much love as the Dating sim part. My idea is to make it a more active combat, you'll see what I mean soon enough, hopefully.

One last thing! I want to tease the design of the upcoming new datable girl, I won't say anything else about her, I’ll just show her off! Thank you for taking your time to read this! Enjoy the game!
