High School Days

For the next release, we think we'll have to clean up most of our code, which, even though it worked, wasn't the most optimal. One must take into account that when we started working on this game more than 4 years ago, we didn't have the slightest idea of ​​how to program in Python.

But, we have to go about slowly and carefully, so we don’t "break" the code and make the game unusable. The most recent experience was with the 0.20 release, and we had to release the 0.201 version as an emergency to solve this issue.

At this point, we will have changed almost all the old code for newer versions that Ren'Py 8 accepts and makes the game more optimal, which might not make a big difference on a new computer, but for old computers or mobile phones, it does make a big difference.

Unfortunately, there is some code that we definitely won't be able to update, such as Ginger's sprite, which, updating it at this point in the story would almost involve rewriting all of her participations, so we'll leave it as is for the moment.

Even though we know it's a fact that the game won't be ready before February 14th, we can't pass up the opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day. However, since our MC is a total Casanova, it will be difficult to decide which of all his love interests he will celebrate Valentine's Day with.

Which of all the girls do you think would be the best to spend Valentine's Day with?

Well, that question will be answered in the next release, which we plan to release at the end of this month, and we hope that this time, we can meet the date!

Since our last update, some users have informed us that there is a critical bug at the end of the Gala event: After sleeping, it moves the character to the school without being able to leave.

This bug was caused by the code cleanup, and we forgot to consider a scenario, but it has been resolved.

If you have already passed the Gala event, you don’t need to update the game. However, if you haven’t reached that point or are stuck there, it is extremely important that you download this update.

We used this opportunity to fix other minor bugs that don’t affect the game's playability but they can be a bit annoying.

We apologize for any inconvenience this error has caused you and we appreciate your patience.

We are already working on our next update in which we will focus part of the story on a character which has been due for some time, Blair! We will use this character to introduce another one who was also commissioned by another Violet-Level supporter. Her name is Kallen, who will become Lillian's rival in grades and P.E. as her story develops.

Also, we will expand on two of the initial character's stories, one of them has been left behind and should have had a greater participation in the Halloween release, but due to time limits, we had to cut out.

I believe that, for the time being, we will press pause on creating more love interests for our MC. We need to focus on the love interests we already have and expand their stories. This does not mean there will not be new characters, simply that they will play a less important role for the moment. We will introduce new love interests once we believe ALL the characters have had significant development, or at least all the characters requested... (Sorry, Rati)

Well, we are finally only a few days away from releasing the 0.20 version. As usual, we will release the Beta version this Friday and the public version on Monday or Tuesday if there aren’t any major issues with the game.

It took longer than we anticipated because some of the animations were more complicated than expected. The most complicated issues have already been worked out, and right now, we are just finishing some simpler ones that should take one or two days.

In the meantime, let's talk about the requirements to trigger the events in this update. It's quite simple, you just need to successfully finish the Halloween event and, a few days later, both events will trigger automatically. Since we ran out of time in the previous update, we wanted to add more scenes with other girls, so we added them in this update. Even though they are not part of the Halloween update, it is a direct follow-up.
