Since the last update, I've done and fixed a few things—here's a quick list:
I've finished the last few maps and adjusted the lighting, including for nighttime. They're not the final version, but for now I'm satisfied with them.
I've placed all the NPCs I've come up with so far, along with their interactions. I've also placed all the heroines in their positions based on the time of day, but I'm still adding their interactions.
And I've also made some fixes... LOTS of fixes, but I'm not going to list them all here. There are probably still some things that need to be fixed, but for now I think the game is stable.
Right now I'm working on adding interactions and the first events for four characters. Once that's done, I “just” need to set up a few scenes, and the first version of the game will be practically ready. I still need to create the pixel sprites for various characters, but since that takes a long time, I'll work on them little by little.
As for the release, the original plan was to release it around the end of June, but as you may have noticed, that didn't happen (a classic scenario for developers).
The first version will likely be released between September and November. August is my break month, and I don't think I'll be working on it much, while this month I need to prepare the content to be published in August so I can take a break.
There isn't that much work left to do, but I'd rather give myself plenty of time to avoid having to announce any further delays...
This first version won't have much content, but it's mainly intended to give you a sense of the game's atmosphere and feel, as well as the gameplay.
