News, changes and poll

TLDR:

• New update for catherine

• gallery optimization

• GUI changes

• Vote for new system

New Catherine chapter

There is still 1 day and a few hours left until the poll for the new update ends, but for now it seems that Catherine is winning, so you can assume that the next chapter will be for her 👌

Remember that if you want to see some spoilers or see how the story will progress, you can go to Discord and request the role of "Story Reviewer" to give feedback before the chapter comes out

Gallery optimization (finally 😅)

After some time, I'm finally doing a small rework of the gallery (on the technical side) so accessing it doesn't take so long (On my phone Alice takes up to 15 seconds to open). There are two changes:

• A new tab where the photos from Puppy Love posts will be displayed

• There's now a small menu at the bottom to separate the photos into smaller groups

With this, I hope the gallery doesn't take too long to open and is a little more convenient to use, It also means it won't overload the memory and can run on phones with less RAM, there may still be more optimization needed, but the gallery is the one that needed it the most

New feed in Puppy Love

Now when you enter the Puppy Love app you will see 2 tabs, the main one which is a general feed where random posts that you have unlocked will appear, and the second tab where the list of profiles is (the screen you currently see in the game)

DM system in Puppy Love

According to the roadmap, the next update was going to include a DM system in Puppy Love where you would be able to unlock some extra conversations with the person in your profile.

I was working on that feature but it was very similar to the chat that currently exists with girls, so it's difficult for me to see how much I can contribute to the game at the moment with that feature (plus the Puppy Love chat can be easily replaced by the recent extra chat system 😓), which is why I'm wondering about including the Puppy Love DM system

System to view girls' conversations (MC can't see it)

Due to what was described in the previous point, I made a small prototype of the system that some had recommended, see the chat of one of the girls with other people, and I thought about using the interface of the extra chats for that, this system to see the chats of the girls is something like the "B side" of things the MC cannot see it, and it is one of the systems that I had on the list

The poll

Having explained the 2 systems and not being able to decide what to do, I would like to ask for your vote on which system seems most appropriate to implement first (And that can contribute to the game). Select the one that most appeals to you and it will be implemented (the loser will remain on the implementation waiting list)
