Hiya. It's me.
For those who have been with us from the beginning, you will know we released our first extremely unpolished build back in 2022. Since then, we've introduced 5 new characters, updated our UI, gotten a new (very expensive) map, gotten partial voices for all heroines, added sound effects, and have over 3000 unique renders and video images, and quite literally hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
We basically only started taking this seriously in the past few months, with mostly monthly updates as we sought constant improvement, be it of the UI, rerendering past scenes, the writing, and more.
With that said, some of you may have been noticing the cross promos we've been trying out recently. Beyond sharing the wonderful work of our friends, these are meant to help grow our community as much as we can.
I know you guys are already great fans of the game, and please help us out by rating the thread here: https://f95zone.to/threads/loves-champion-v0-1-3-2-hotfix-2-grimaga.110316/
We want to keep creating new content, and this will certainly help with that!
Upcoming content
So what's next?
First things first, interactions! We used the sandbox model instead of the VN one because we love interactions. Someone sitting around the house, cooking a meal, watching TV. Stuff like that. While we focused on story quests for a while to introduce all of the characters we wanted to introduce, the next update(s) are going to focus on building up the world of Love's Champion.
Be it Aria studying in the apartment, Emi cooking up a meal, Lia playing video games, or Serah forgetting where she is, we're going to be adding many more interactions to the world.
Secondly, the remainder of JLDavenport's amazing Aria update is on the way! This includes Aria's High and Highest Neediness events, which we think you are all going to enjoy. This was also part of our effort to make the world feel more alive by having stats increase or decrease as time passes, with those stats affecting everyday interactions.
Cross Promos and Video
After being approached by Mr Vision, we realised that cross promos help to get the name of the game out, which quite simply gets us more resources to work with. So, we'll be trying to do more cross promos with other wonderful creators.
To that end, we have a promotional video also in the works. Hopefully that'll turn out good.
Possible change in Patreon Rewards
As it currently works, our $5 Patreon's get access to patreon exclusive events and cheats that are not released to the public until the following patch is released.
We're considering changing that up to $5 Patreons getting access to builds one full patch in advance. This means that we won't have to make completely different builds every time we upload, and being a Patreon means a lot more than getting a few scenes.
This, if it takes effect, will take effect in December. Do let us know if you guys like or dislike this change!
