Ver 4 Dev Update 16/03/2024

Happy Sunday! Hope you had a great week!

This week I've been hard at work managing the code and dialogue that handles how HINO unlocks!

Everyone's favorite bitch will be dateable.

The way I handle it is that each girlfriend has a scene at school on their first ep4 date.

In this scene, your gf, (Yuka, Manami, or Saya) will be using serum at school - each with  a reason for doing so. 

Hino will run into you, or see you, at this stage. Growing suspicious she will spy on you. Each girlfriend route has ways that Hino witnesses more than she should ;)

Then this first date leads into another scene where you meet with all three of the main girls at the classroom after school, Manami, Saya, and Yuka, all of them using the serum.

Again, Hino makes an appearance, seeing everyone buff she alludes to the fact that she knows more than she should. 

If you ignored your GF in ep3 completely, she will have dumped you (the player) and a unique version of this scene will trigger instead on a predefined date (Thus getting a chance to unlock Hino).

After leaving the classroom, Hino will confront you and tell you she knows what's up. Here Hino will attempt to blackmail the player into sharing the serum with her. Choose what to do and live with the consequences. (This unlocks the Hino dates as a daytime choice)

Now, this scene has 7 different versions.

• 1 player is dating Manami,
• 2 player is dating Saya,
• 3 player is dating Yuka,
• 4 player got dumped by m/s/y
• 5 player just dumped Manami,
• 6 player just dumped Saya,
• 7 player just dumped Yuka.

If the player just dumped his girlfriend, Hino will tell the other two that she saw (the dumped girl) crying in the hall, to get the two other to run out, leaving Hino alone with the player.

*Phew* hope I made that all seem clear, if not just know we will need a lot of testing to make sure everything triggers correctly and we don't have another bug like we had during ep3 beta where Saya was your girlfriend no matter what you did hah!

Hope you have a wonderful week, and I will see you with another update next Sunday!
