Hey everyone!
I’ve been a bit quiet these past few weeks and paused work on the game for a bit because I’ve been dealing with some migraines and back pain. I’ve also had some mild tingling in my feet. I’m pretty sure it’s posture-related — I spend a lot of time sitting at my day job, and apparently “ergonomic chair” isn’t in my boss’s dictionary.
Anyway, still here, still pushing forward, and I’ve got some updates on what I’ve been working on lately:
> Shop Changes
I made some adjustments to the shop. Now the stores for extra scenes, phone skins, and upgrades are separated. Some prices have been adjusted as well.
The phone skins shop menu and the upgrades shop menu are mostly the same as before, but now they’re in separate sections inside the main menu.
The extra scenes shop got a layout update. It’s now styled similarly to the character selection menu and feels cleaner and easier on the eyes. It clearly displays the extra outfit name, the franchise it’s from, the difficulty level, and the cost in a more noticeable way.
> New Save System
This might be the bad news: I had to completely remake the save system. Unfortunately, this means everything will need to be unlocked again, since the new system isn’t compatible with the old one. I’m really sorry about that, but the previous system had several issues and it was better to rebuild it properly.
> Stats Removed
I decided to remove the stats. They didn’t really serve much of a purpose anymore, especially since scenes now unlock in a consecutive order.
> Other Changes
I reduced the transition time between scenes to make navigation smoother and faster.
The main menu also got a few tweaks. The shop, achievements, and settings buttons are now smaller and have more spacing between them.
> Game Links

As always, thanks a lot for the support, the patience, and all the feedback you’ve been giving.It really helps a lot to polish the game!
See you in the next post!
