v1.3.0

The story picks up two days after the party, at the start of a new week. You can choose which of the guys to spend the afternoon with, explore new locations, and delve deeper into the characters’ lives. Expect romance, drama, and mysteries as you uncover that life isn’t always as straightforward as it seems at first glance. I’ve also added a few new features to the game:

Relations:
- Each character now has a “Character Card” accessible via the ‘Relations’ button in the top right corner. These cards provide details such as name, age, occupation, sexuality, and your relationship score with them. As you progress through their stories, important notes will be added to the card, and small pins may be unlocked to indicate significant interactions.
Descriptions for Pins:
- Found under “Help” -> “Explanations”.
Save Recommendation:
- A save icon will appear in the top left corner at critical junctures to remind you of good points to save your progress.
Bonus content:
- Located via the “Bonus” button on the main menu, this section contains content unlocked by following certain paths through the game. The content consists of small stories with characters you meet in the game, but are not part of the main story.
- Currently, there is only one story to unlock. Since this needs to be unlocked during the party, I’ll tell you that it pertains to a certain guy you can text with but is not at the party himself.

Note: I’ve implemented several new flags in the script to ensure the bonus content functions correctly. However, I’m not certain it’s backward compatible with saves from previous updates. You might need to start over and fast-forward to where you were.

v1.2.0

This part of the story will take place at the Saturday night party in Nathan’s “awesome basement locale”.

Here you will get to meet Jamie, Martin, Trent, Nathan and three new characters we’ve only heard mentions of before. Get a chance to get to know them better, hit the dance floor, and have some fun (yes, that kind of fun!).

v1.0.1

Fixed a problem that occured when navigating the save pages.

v1.0 Initial Release

This part mostly covers the setting and introduction to some of the characters that we will meet during the story.

The next part is already in production, where we will get to spend more time with the characters we have met and be introduced to some new ones.

Developer Notes:

This visual novel is a one-man-show, first of my (currently empty) collection. There will be chapter based updates, and tweaks and fixes where the need occurs. It has been a learning curve on writing, coding and rendering images that hopefully does it justice.

The game is still in it’s early stages, but most of the stories are already planned out. It will be updated by chapters as I finish them.
