Dev Diary #28 - 0.2.4 Progression

Hey everyone,

I want to apologize. This is usually the time of the month when I have an update ready for you. Unfortunately, I'm going to need a little more time to be finished with this update. I've been experiencing a huge slump lately while working on SL, mostly due to burnout and RL arrangements that I've been holding off for many months.

Suffice to say, this will be the smallest content update I've ever done. I'm sorry. I'm online every day, staring at the screen, but just finding it difficult to come up with quality ideas/dialog. Just going through a slump and I hope it ends soon.

So far, I've only completed one long non-nude scene for Makoto involving a beach. The beach will be a point of interest because I'm planning on allowing players to bring girls over for a small mini-game. Basically, the mini-game will be like a "date" where you can bring a girl, pay money, and reach a sex scene after answering several questions about the girls. I think it will be a good/fun event to test your knowledge on the girls and bring the girls to life as well as add a level of sex to the game which the game currently is lacking (IMO).

The objective of the mini-game will be to answer several questions. If you reach 5 hearts (at the top left) by the end of the event, you will get a "lewd" ending with the girl you brought to the beach. If not, you will have to try again. I think the game is severely lacking in sex, and given that I want a character's story to be told before we see sex, I think this dating mini-game might help with that fix. I'm currently working on Silvia at the moment and praying there are no bugs. I hoped to be working on a dating scene for Estelle but, as  I've mentioned, ideas have just been slow for me lately (I've also been extremely busy with RL stuff) and I don't want to pump out something that is half-assed like before the reboot.

Anyway, I don't know when this update will be out. I just don't feel right for some reason. I hope my slump ends soon. Again, I've also started going out more often and seeing people, which is something I haven't really been doing since working on SL.

Thank you all for your support. I hope my burnout goes away soon enough...
