If only you believed in miracles, baby

So would I

Hello, all! VERY exciting news!

The biggest barrier to progress has been squashed. Nearly all of the game's back-end systems are working perfectly now. Both the Free Time segments and the drop-in DLC systems are working flawlessly. I had to sacrifice the gallery for it, though, but for now I'm okay with that.

This means all we have to do is work on story. Story, story, story. 

Now, I know that Side Story Tasks number is daunting, but these aren't NECESSARY to the game. The side stories are the intimate content and personal interactions you'll have with each character. Now, we ARE hoping that the Side Stories will make up the bulk of the time spent in-game, which is why we're doing so much work on them. But we also realize that the main story is the vehicle on which the desire to play these Side Stories is delivered, so we don't intend to skimp on them. As such, we're really only focusing on the Side Stories for the Core Characters right now. We're leaving the DLC characters for later. Now, I know a lot of the DLC characters are super interesting and people can't wait to get their hands on them, but milking the project for money is not really our priority right now lol. We mainly just want to go as ham as we can on the content that everyone gets to play and deliver a great first impression upon release of the first build of Season 2.

As such, the list of what we call Core characters, the characters whose Side Story content is available for anyone and part of the base game, are as follows:

• Aoibheann
• Barirmouserd (Mouse)
• Blossom
• Cecilia
• Ms. Clements
• Chiara
• Druthari
• Ember
• Eshtel
• Galka
• Gillie
• Jade
• Kanako
• Lirum
• Nook
• River
• Rukah
• Saarya
• Serafina
• Princess Tilai
• Wither

So basically, all of the characters that were a significant part of the Season 1 playthrough. I'll be doing polls on SubscribeStar and Patreon to get feedback on which of these Side Stories our supporters would like to see prioritized, though I already know what one answer will be. Good lord, she's popular.

That's all for now, lovely peeps! Season 2 Episode 2 is about 50% finished, though I may still add some more Main Story content onto it, as the Episodes feel a tad short at the moment. For now, hang in there, and thank you so much to all of the Supporters who never lost faith and never unsubscribed from the SubscribeStar/Patreon, trusting us and believing in us to deliver on this game you love. Y'all are the real MVPs. 

Until next time!
