It's been way too long since our last public release! Briefly before diving into the new content notes below. If you haven't heard yet, 2 weeks ago, Patreon purged a ton of abdl content creators from their platform with no prior warning. The same excuse was blanketed for everyone despite not having issues in the past with them. We lost all our support overnight from Patreon and have been trying our hardest to rebuild it over on sub star! We've reached halfway on our first funding goal, but we hope that'll continue to increase this month!

All support we receive during December into January will determine how we proceed forward with handling new content, since our team heavily relied on our monthly funding in order to cover the costs of their skills provided. The most expensive being cg art and we want to continue how we were without any hiccups with the momentum picking up again.

So, if you once supported us on Patreon prior to December or wish to help out, please head over to our sub star page below! Exclusive supporter only game versions are offered monthly for $5 tier.

[Keep in mind that this is v0.20 part 1 & 2 rolled into one download, there is still more content coming later in December!]

~V0.20 pt 1 & 2 content~
<Public Free Build>

~Adjustments/Notes~

-Transferring saved data from before v0.20 series will break the game! Sorry, we added a lot to the game and it sadly broke some data with save files working. There should be a save file you can load on page 1 of the load page, bottom middle that takes you right to the end of Episode 4 content to begin Episode 5. (If sprite art appears weird, don't worry it sorts itself out upon reaching Episode 5.)

-Music in Episode 5 content. Music fades in and out with long periods of no music playing, then suddenly music again. This is intentional, not a bug/issue! We're toying around with our sound direction for the game to include sfx/ambience to break up music playing all the time on loop.

<!>~New content~<!> 

-All sprite assets have been fully replaced and updated with their finalized art.
-New episode 5 splash screen art added.
-New music has been added to the title screen and other areas.
-Finalized gui text box has been added. (With on-screen button to hide/show text box)
-New sprite animation effects have been added to Episode 5.
-New transition effects have been added to Episode 5.
-Episode 5: Is there a Mystery Club? Has been added.
-Episode 5, Scene 1: Joey’s Harem Quest. Has been added.
-Episode 5, Scene 2: The Girl with a Passion for Fashion.

~Known or possible issues being looked into~ (Feedback very helpful! <3)

-With the new gui text box, we have finalized font text, size and color scheme. We'd love to hear everyone's feedback in how the readability feels in general with how it appears. Ideally this is the default look for the game, but depending on feedback, we'd like to include general options to change the text simply to white or black within the config settings, if it makes a big difference.

-The new textbox ui button to hide the window has a known issue: After clicking the X and proceeding to click anywhere on screen besides the check mark/button to make the textbox reappear. It will cause a exception error/crash. (Will be fixed with v0.21)

-Android builds need a bit more testing. We'll try to have these ready with v0.21.

-Finalized cg art has not been added to the game yet. We're waiting to add these in all at once in future releases. Episode 5 will have new cg scenes added, but they might be outdated art style mixed with some being finalized.

-Episodes 1-4 has new sprite visuals that may not line up with current text shown in-game. Example: Nurse and Karissa are sporting sweet pamps now, but we haven't added new text to reflect this. (Coming with v0.21)

-An issue with dialogue text appearing with "XX_" before certain words when it shouldn't appear like this. Example for Episode 1 at the nurse's office: "She was sitting at her desk in the middle of writing" is how it should appear, but it's appearing as "She was sitting at her desk in the te_middle of writing". (Should be fixed, but any screenshots provided of cases still in-game will help!)
