Hello, Keyko here, bringing over an earlier update because of my traveling schedule. I won’t be able to post it later so I’ll have to do it now, enjoy a little early gift because it comes with… not so good news at the end.

Let’s discuss the good stuff first, yeah? This is our first update of the year and I plan to make a lot more like this until the end. This is a special update for us, there’s something in it I wish everyone could see. (Thank you BenBinturong for helping us do the— you know what).

It wasn’t only him, many people collaborated to provide us with something I’m really proud of and I can’t say names or anything else otherwise it becomes obvious, just trying to keep that surprise effect, that’s all there is to it. 2.10! That’s 10 whole updates ever since the sprite rework? Time flies, damn.

23k words of brand new content. All new. I can't copy what doesn't exist.
3 CGs + Bonus stuff. Some of it will be recycled, which is why it feels a lot now.
3 New characters added into the game. I can't say, but if you have read through my devlogs (Patreon)— you've seen them already.
2 New original tracks (and something more) — I’ll discuss this on Patreon in the coming days.

And now one more thing! This wasn’t planned, we discussed it, but I didn’t think it’d be here already. I guess I was wrong. DAY SELECTION SCREEN!

You’ll see a new option in the main menu, you’ll be allowed to choose from which day you want to start, it’ll ask you the route, the path and the affinity level. This is supposed to be an accessibility feature, using it will basically invalidate all choices so it’s up to you, I suppose? I want my game to be easy to navigate, I don’t mind allowing you the power to pick and see all the endings without forcing your way through.

TL; DR I do like a genuine result, but the novel is long and you deserve to have an easy life, not a chore. (It’s kinda my thing? If it feels like a chore, then it’s bad).

There’s a known mistake in it that I forgot to make the game ask you to write a name, but it’s not a priority and I’ll eventually get to it. (Thank you MythicExile for coding this feature!) Now… the bad stuff.

Short hiatus incoming! If you’ve followed some of my posts on social medias/Discord I got sick and I still am. I tend to heal really slowly… and I was planning to write two updates ahead of time to keep the page active while traveling to meet my husband. I couldn’t get it done. I only managed to finish Liam 4 so we have one month covered, the other is coming up empty and this means we’ll skip a month.

And that’s it. I’ll be busy as well, February 7th is my birthday so I’m hoping to have some fun and take a break. I’ll be filling that void with a Q&A, I think that’s appropriate. I can’t work but I can answer questions and get more feedback!
