Hiya. We promised fast updates so here's a quick one for all of you. We've heard the many, many complaints about the introduction being rushed. Fair enough. Our original intent was to get to the juicy bits quick, because well, this is an adult game.
Anyway, with this update comes 6 new introductory events, including 4 branching sub quests, a re rendering of a few introductory events, and hopefully better pacing for the story. This should not affect your saves if you are playing from an old save, but you won't be able to see these events until we add them as repeatables in the future. As you can see from the banner image, we think these intro events are pretty cute, so do give them a try even if you have a later save.
With this rewrite, the last thing we have to do for the ongoing rewrite is to rerender a few scenes. But that will be a while from now, as next update will focus on more content!
We've also got a special washing, bath and service scene for Emi, which is the debut scene for one of our new writers, Claire Nygard. We think it turned out pretty good, so let us know if you like it!
Besides that, a couple of much needed bug fixes and UI changes, and that's about it!
