Preview - What Nobuko sends you from her phone

tl;dr - New phone messages are coming; the Mika ending is getting close to ready; and I've got new plans for Rin.

This week's image & Nobuko/Hirai messages

This is one of the images you can get sent to you by phone in the shops district in the next release. This message plays out differently depending on what Nobuko's relationship with Hirai is, so she'll send it to you either way but there's more to the story in Hirai's branch.

I haven't really structured a phone message like that before, so it's an interesting experiment.

Oh, and there will be some Nobuko/Hirai messages - three messages each with two images, for a total of six. They'll be chained up so you need to unlock them (in the shops) in order. I've included one of those images. They're based on the apron, so you'll have to give Nobuko the apron and she'll have to have had sex with Hirai for the messages to play.

Mika ending fairly close to finished

I know players would prefer the Shizu ending be done first and I might be able to finish that in time, but the Mika ending is less complicated to implement so that actually might be done shortly beforehand. Either way, I've sent out scripts for the voice acting for both (and have some done already for the Shizu ending) so I'm hoping to get both done soon.

Mind you, once Mika's ending is done the next big thing that's supposed to unlock is Rin, and she's not ready to go yet, while with the Shizu ending I want the changes to be more or less ready to go.

New ideas for Rin

This week I had some interesting ideas for Rin; specifically a Rin/Shizu threesome branch. I like the idea that the unlocked characters make a big impact on the progression of the relationships. This unfortunately will take a while to play out, because I have to include the Mika ending first, then put in the whole Rin relationship... but we'll get there.

Would you like Nobuko to send you messages like this? And would you be annoyed if the Mika ending was finished before the Shizu ending? Let me know in the comments below!
