Weekly report 245

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all feeling well, had a great week, and are looking forward to your weekend.

The planning of the 0.8 content is nearly completed. Chestnut has been sketching and storyboarding many of the cutscenes and she'll continue doing that tomorrow and into the next week since she's ahead with her main art and we can always use more storyboards. I will spend the whole of tomorrow organizing my notes for the stories and the quests we've gone through during this planning phase and will begin coding the 0.8 content on Monday.

Here's a spoiler-free overview of our plan for 0.8:

• The update will focus on Holly's story. Although several existing characters will participate in an event and have a few lines of dialogue, Holly is the only character with any sexual content.

• The update will have one quest divided into two halves, each with a distinct mood. It will include craft tasks and a think quest.

• Holly will have the following sexual content: ass job, oral sex, hand job, foot job (optional), and four vaginal scenes in four different locations. All these scenes will be repeatable.

• We will see the characters of the farmer twins, Poppy and Penny.

• Holly will have a new sexy outfit the design of which could be decided in a future poll.

• We will redo the content featuring Dear Celestina and the magical glasses. Once you start the game, if you have finished Holly's story already, you'll be taken to the moment the MC picks up the glasses.

• We really tried to incorporate Dear Celestina's content into Holly's story, but in the end decided against it. So, although we will rework the MC and Celestina's interaction, removing the forced kiss, for example, you will not be able to complete Dear Celestina's short arc in 0.8.

• As mentioned in the description of the 0.9 polls, we're determined to finish 0.8 in 2025, so I plan to set a maximum word limit of 35,000 words for myself.

That's all. If you have any questions about 0.8, feel free to ask, and if it's not too spoilery, we'll try to answer. Also, please note that the above plan may, and usually does, change slightly as we begin developing the story.

Have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers!

P.S. We'll run the 0.8 hidden photos poll in the last few days of Jan and have it run for a week into Feb.
