Hey guys :)

Here’s this week’s update :)

I ended up cutting some smaller scenes, not ones that were in the game yet, because I had to remind myself to set priorities and not get lost in too many little details, or I’ll never fully finish the lawyer prologue at this point.

There are already a few small moments that I’m sure only a tiny percent of players will ever see. While I love including those hidden routes and easter eggs, they take forever to write and code, and they’re slowing down more important progress.

So, I’ve decided to just write those ideas down for now and maybe add them later.

I also decided to cut the whole police officer path for now.

I’ve kept the code in the project in case I change my mind, but at the moment, it just doesn’t fit the story the way it used to when I first started.

The doctor prologue is still planned and will come in the future, though.

This week I also spent a lot of time planning and structuring the next chapter. It’ll be split into three major parts, each with smaller segments.

I’ve started writing Part 1 of Part 1, which is already about 30% done and included in the new update I just uploaded to Itch.io. It’s not a lot, just a few choices and the beginning of the next chapter, but yeah :)

I still haven’t added or updated the missing scenes in the lawyer prologue, though.

What I did manage to do is overhaul the skill system. It was still based on ideas from over a year ago and didn’t really reflect where the story is heading anymore, so I’ve adjusted it accordingly.

I also realized I need to tweak some of the romance options in the lawyer prologue, especially for Marcos/Maria. While planning the next chapter, I noticed some of the original options don’t quite fit who they are or what would realistically attract them to someone anymore.

Lastly, I just want to say thank you so much for all the feedback and support. I’m incredibly grateful and happy :)

Also, someone kindly sent in an ask explaining a previous question I misunderstood, so thank you for that. I’ll try to answer it this week, I promise :)

That’s it for now :)

Take care,

Jakob
