Hey everyone! Important poll at the bottom of this post so please read carefully.

This week has been busy and I’m close to finishing all the pre-timeskip content. Most of my time went into art for the girls’ intimate scenes, and it’s coming together well. Here are a few screenshots to share a glimpse:

Now onto the important part.

Chapter 6 is taking longer than planned. I underestimated how much nuance I need to tie together all the character arcs and events into the time-skip to make things connect coherently. I also misjudged how much time I'd have to work on the game over the summer, since a lot of real life obligations took time from me.

I want your input on the release plan:

Option 1 : Smaller early September update:

• Halloween event (9 variants, one for each girl)

• 9 intimate scenes, one for each girl

• Exam event

• 1 Queen lab event

• 1 Kasumi lab event

• Main story up to the big Christmas reveal and timeskip montage

• (Will also ship with all side stories up until now, including the latest Raven, and Sumi side stories)

(This version would not include individual girl story progress, extra dates, or Valentine’s Day yet.)

Option 2: Full chapter 6 scope, but wait longer.

The orignal scope of all of the above, plus post-timeskip events such as valentines day, and meaningful progression on all the girls story arcs. (ex, manami drama club continued, naomi wrestling rivalry, etc etc) and additional optional dates.

I hate pushing this back. I’ve been wrestling with getting every scene to land properly, and it’s hard to still be behind schedule. But I’d rather give you something memorable than rush it and regret it. Your choice here will help me decide how to move forward.

If you choose option 2, then I cannot guarantee when it will release. Here is why:

From September 7th onward I’ll be busy organizing my wedding. Even though I’m already married, we never had a proper ceremony because we got married during covid. Now I’ve finally managed to save enough to make it happen for my wife and our families. Since we’ll be doing the ceremony in Japan I’ll also be coordinating travel and logistics for my side of the family.

That’s why I offer the chance to lock in a release before I go on a hiatus. Or if you're okay to wait for a later release. Then I'd be back working on the game in October.

Thank you all for understanding, for supporting, and for helping me shape the direction of the project. I’ll keep pushing and keep you updated.
