Hello, Horny People!
You don't have to be particularly observant to notice that recently we are quite less active than usually. There were couple of reasons for that (with two of them mentioned in the title), but the good thing is that none of them were directly related to the game development and our team. I think there's no need to get into the details, but let's just say that we have experienced a different type of a long and hard summer. ;)
There are four things I wish to convey with this post, with first two of them being that the production of LaHS newer was at any risk and that starting from today you should hear from us more often. We just had to slow down a bit, but our game was still steadily developed in silence.
And now we're getting to the third point, which is the development status. As I've said, we were still moving forward and as a result, yesterday (Monday 22/08), our Patrons have received an update of the Early Access version, with a couple of changes in the time passing (which was removed from a few plot scenes), new map, new illustration and an ability to replay the sexy-times in the NudeTube app. As for the main events of the game, here is how we're doing:
I've presented our status in that way with the version 0.80.1 which was in March (almost half a year ago!) and not much has changed, but that's just because we were still messing around with the core mechanics, adding new features and focusing on polishing what was already made (mostly thanks to your feedback ❤). I think it's safe to say now that we've finally entered a phase consisting of scene writing only, and believe me, this is the easiest part. In other words, we're on a highway to finishing the game.
A lot of you are asking when will the game be released. We've aimed for the October before and it's still possible. We don't want to set any hard deadlines for ourselves, but even considering some other possible slip-ups along the road October/November is more than very realistic.
That's it for the status.
The fourth thing I wanted to give you with this post is just a small gift. With heatwaves flowing through the whole World and another possible temperature risings upcoming, we got an illustration of Yui-chan who'd like to share a popsicle with you. You can find it here. Sorry if it won't make you feel any colder though...
