Time for the first preview for v0.12, this time I will be mostly continuing work on Part 4.
Natsuki's interactions in the science lab have been placeholder, so I've been spending time on adding the scenes there. You will be able to go under her desk and interact with her feet, as well as go on the desk to talk to her normally. You can access her dialogue menu, talk to her and gift her gifts in Part 4 as well.
Additionally, I wanted the affections to have more impact in Part 4, so I've been putting in a lot of effort to make the way she reacts to you vary significantly based on your affection. There is a ton of new dialogue with her.
She will also have different things to say when you talk to her depending on things that have happened. She would for example mention the kotatsu scene, or pinning you underfoot beneath her desk.
I may take another look at Maria's scenes and dialogue in Part 4 to make sure they sufficiently respond to affection as well.
Thank you for your continued support!
