Alpha 1.0 September 1st


First thing I want to say is that the game is now officially 100% NSFW hehe, just a little bit. Majority of the NSFW stuff will be concentrated way later in the game for full disclosure

Second thing is I managed to make a sprite mock-up for Mateo. I thought it'd be weird to only have a single character in this style alongside the others so you can find all of Mateo's new sprites packed into the park scene on Day 3. Basically I'm thinking of 1 or 2 poses with at least 6 different expressions depending on, y'know, what they need.

Third thing in this update is that I ended up spending most of this update going over the current script. Changing some things, removing some others, placing things earlier or later.  As the game gets longer I'm going to keep going back and trying to condense as much as possible since it's all mostly just set-up

 From here forward I'm going to start prioritizing progress over presentation, so be prepared to see sketches and some immersion-breaking dialog skips and abrupt changes. I found myself getting stuck a lot in certain places of the script and I'd really rather just forge ahead instead of just trying to figure out one scene in order to progress forwards...  The last few builds have been lacking in story progression mostly because I can't focus for more than ten seconds

ALSO  I'm going to be taking a break from updating next month so Alpha 1.1 will be happening on NOVEMBER 1st instead of October 1st because I gotta be real with yall writers block got me down bad.
