v0.03.0 released!
Added 2024-03-17 23:29:20 +0000 UTCSorry for the wait!
This took a while longer than expected, but enough chatting. Here's the download link:
Just keep in mind this version has mosaics, as per the website's rules. You can find the solution for that in my other socials, though ;)
Also, thank you so much for your support! <3
I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Yes I saw it was there! Steam hates lolis so no idea how it managed to stay there, but the reviews are so negative I'm assuming it's just censored beyond hope lol.

2024-03-20 20:33:07 +0000 UTCYeah you should try it out! I love it and it might inspire you and give you ideas! Just don't download through steam because it might be censored. I don't how it even made it to steam in the first place haha xD

2024-03-20 20:09:12 +0000 UTCYes I totally get you. Even at Monster Hunter, where the grind is fun since the combat is great, can get ridiculous at the end game due to bad RNG, to the point I gave up and installed mods that increase some drop rates. My favorite rare drop is still in MH World where you can guarantee the rarest drop if you earn it by breaking the hardest boss's horns. Anyway, yeah I think that's a nice range. Tho my previous game had a similar balancing but some players just grinded for hours and got everything early for some reason. Some people just like playing like that I guess xD Btw the bikini is less meant to be a consumable, but a funny joke since the 3 options to get access to the beach are: a super expensive bikini, a super embarrassing but free bikini from Abby, and a more reasonable priced one that will be lost if you don't read the description and enter the water with it. Most of the beach content will be on land anyway so you won't be missing out for wearing it.

2024-03-20 18:01:35 +0000 UTCI heavily dislike grinding aswell (and the reason why i end up using a save editor in most rpgm games i play, no i'm sorry i'm not gonna grind for 20 minutes (unless the grind is fun) to buy an upgrade i need for a specific boss that's gonna be redundant or useless as soon as i reach the next zone), but so far i didn't thought it was a problem, it'll honestly all depend on the prices being kept low, or the big buys being exceptional. For example, i could see somewhat precious consummable to be around half of a regular shift (so like 25$), and having occasionnal 100, 200, 300$ buy that are a one time thing, i honestly think the "water solluble" bikini being 50$ isn't too much as a "consummable".

2024-03-20 17:45:25 +0000 UTCYes that's a good idea. The game's economy is something I'm still figuring out how to do. 2$ is the baseline for most stuff and you'll never be stuck with less than this (2$ magically spawn on most trash cans if you have less than it), but then there's more expensive items you buy only once, and the ridiculously priced bikini you're not supposed to buy. You can get enough to buy the regular bikini by just exploring the city (and getting attacked by the Gropers 3 times), or by working 2 shifts in the restaurant, the latter of which is repeatable so I should probably reduce how much you can gain (the minimum is 20$ and a "perfect" shift can get you up to 70$). I think it's fine since I hate grinding but maybe I'll have to rethink these numbers once more items show up in shops and more ways of earning money are unlocked.

2024-03-20 17:35:13 +0000 UTCI think it's fine for there to be useless item if they're set to like 1$, like a recurring theme of "Items with no use are 1$, items with an actual gameplay mechanic are 2$ and more", it could be a way to filter for people that can be a bit perceptive
Lea_Habana
2024-03-20 17:22:48 +0000 UTCYes, thank you xD There are going to be "useless" items eventually, tho idk if having them in shops is the best idea. (rn there's the marker pen, which I'm holding for the possibility of having an actual use, but can just be a reminder of a certain scene). Going out for groceries is actually a fun idea! I'm thinking of making May be bullied at school and made to buy stuff for the bullies too, so there's that. I assume there could be a vending machine at school, so some of those items could be sold there.
お茶くん
2024-03-20 17:18:35 +0000 UTCCan always have flavor items that have no use outside of having a flavor text upon use, like candy, gum, some groceries that could be use in a future quest for the restaurant where you have to go buy oranges or something in emergency in your waitress uniform, and maybe some items that you would have to "negociate" with the clerk, like pepper spray and condoms ... These are just wild ideas that spawned in 2 mins, i'm pretty sure there are a lot more interesting thing that could be included
Lea_Habana
2024-03-20 17:07:53 +0000 UTCYes, good idea! I'll probably add it to the shop's list. If you have any ideas what more could be there (and how it could be used in the future), I'm listening xD
お茶くん
2024-03-20 16:45:57 +0000 UTCThat's the shop i had in mind ! I since we can navigate it and talk to people there and its inside is already fleshed out, may aswell !
Lea_Habana
2024-03-20 16:39:22 +0000 UTCOtherwise the shop where Ember works could also sell it btw. Most of the time there's another clerk there anyway so we could buy it from them. It's also close and has no use now anyway.
お茶くん
2024-03-20 16:37:22 +0000 UTCI'm aware, but for a videogame it's more convenient for several items to be sold in the same place. Unless there're more items sold in the same market, I probably shouldn't be making it just to sell 1 item xD (Also looking for more stuff to give the vending machines tbh. The clothing shop will also have more uses in the future for halloween costumes and such) But if it's considered a weapon, hmm... I don't want this to become a gory game, but a weapon shop could be a funny place to put it, even if May isn't allowed to buy firearms lol
お茶くん
2024-03-20 16:24:47 +0000 UTCRealisticaly a pepper spray is not sold in a vending machine, but it could be sold in the market just next to them and would also help fleshing out the place as an actual market That could also lead to something more interesting too, as pepper spray is legally considered a weapon (if i remember correctly) !
Lea_Habana
2024-03-20 16:08:44 +0000 UTCOh it's actually in front of the vending machines beside the convenience store! The idea is people will eventually get it by accident when trying to buy orange juice xD Also, got a suggestion I may implement in the next patch. We could get consumable pepper sprays that let May get out of some of the Gropers' attacks if the player runs into them but doesn't want for the scene to happen. They could be sold in the vending machines too.

2024-03-20 16:02:48 +0000 UTCAnd i can't seem to be able to find it, i had the stuck in the hole one, the one on the long alley on the top left, but the last one i have no idea where it is
Lea_Habana
2024-03-20 04:13:15 +0000 UTCYou're welcome! xD The idea is for the player to naturally run into content without stressing out, but I guess the experience is different when you're following updates and want to see what's new. I should probably keep that in mind.
お茶くん
2024-03-20 03:57:34 +0000 UTCOh okay ! So i'm only missing a groper scene then, thanks a lot !
Lea_Habana
2024-03-20 03:54:09 +0000 UTCOh, hmm... There's a changelog file in the game's folder that keeps track of updates, but it isn't super specific on the amount of scenes added. If you go town and get a cutscene mentioning you've completed all the content, that means you already saw everything that isn't repeatable content (as the game doesn't have a way of tracking those). There's May's diary too you can find in her room, which tracks numbers in the game. For this update the new scenes are: -3 Groper scenes (tracked) -2 optional missable lewd scenes in the restaurant's tutorial (the game just tracks if you finish the tutorial) -4 random scenes you can get while working in the restaurant (not tracked as they're repeatable) -3 pee scenes (not tracked, varies depending on wether you keep drinking or find a toilet, and by how desperate May is before finding a toilet) Not sure if that's what you were looking for but I hope it helped!
お茶くん
2024-03-20 02:41:34 +0000 UTCIf it's no trouble, would you mind joining a changelog for updates ? It'll be easier to know if we finished the content or if there's anything else to do in the newest update that way !
Lea_Habana
2024-03-20 00:48:19 +0000 UTCThanks you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Looking at screenshots I think that game was made on RPG Maker MZ, the same engine as my game. It even uses the default goblin sprites xD The thing I live about RPGM is it's so easy to use you can make a decent game without even knowing how to code. Anyway, the character designs are super cute! Might try it out later.

2024-03-19 23:32:43 +0000 UTCI played and like it, I'll wait for the next release. :3 It reminded me of Under The Sky World. Like the menu, npcs and style are very similar and I loved that one

2024-03-19 23:09:09 +0000 UTCThank you! I hope you're having fun! xD

2024-03-18 02:31:01 +0000 UTCSorry, I wanted to release the update this weekend by all means but it was pretty late by the time everything was finished. But, well, the game isn't going anywhere, so I hope you have fun!
お茶くん
2024-03-18 00:29:11 +0000 UTCI was starting to get worried I'd have to leave playing the new version until tomorrow (it's already 2am). Can't wait to see the new content, but I can already say that whatever's been added will be worth the wait 😁
