v0.12 is now about 75% complete! It will be released in May, hopefully in a couple of weeks, but possibly towards the end of the month. I was originally aiming for a late April release, but I felt it was more important to focus on the quality and length of content.
This update has significantly expanded in scope and size. The first in-game day of v0.13 has been added to v0.12, which includes the Rena date, her second set of sex scenes, and several other key moments in between. Similar to the cottage sex scene, Rena's second sex scene will be more romantic in nature. I've also moved its placement from morning to night, as I felt this would give the scene much more emotional weight and meaning.
A new side heroine briefly appears in this update. She will play an important role in the story of Act 4, and your choices in a previous story arc will also affect your relationship with her. Between Valerie, Rena, and Ann as the main heroines, and Mira, Ellania, and this new character as the side heroines, I feel there's now a solid cast of love interests. Aside from these six, there will of course be plenty of other women the MC can have flings or one-night stands with.
If you allowed Valerie to play with women (either the open-harem or sharing routes), there will be a special scene where Annestria recounts a recent encounter with Valerie. In the future, you will have the option of letting the two girls get more intimate with each other. For this update, though, the MC will have the honors of making love to Ann first.
From v0.13, we'll be entering the second and more dramatic half of Act 3, where the game's slow build-up finally brings the story and its themes together. Thank you for reading this dev update. I hope you will enjoy playing v0.12 when it releases next month. I'll be posting one final dev update for v0.12 as the release approaches.
