Version 0.3.3 Public Release + Dev News
Hello there, and happy (belated) spring holidays!
We are releasing version 0.3.3 to the public! This build adds a new third date with Garreth, (hopefully making him a lot more amicable than his original third date, for those that still remember). It also revamps days 2 and 3 with a lot of dialogue changes and additions.
Tish has unfortunately been laid off as a bartender, moving behind the scenes to occupy herself with her true passion: cooking. This means that she has been completely phased out as a dateable character, although she might still make minor appearances in the story.
For more information about the changes, you can check this post.
Development news
So, with us releasing v0.3.3 publicly, this means that the next patron-only build is just around the corner, right? Well... we will still need some more time for it. Our current expected release time frame is mid to late May.
The next pieces of content will be touch-ups to days 3 and 4, with Cedrik's second date as a new content addition. The date is about a third done, but even if it got finished today, it also needs to be implemented and art assets to be created for it... in fact, we might still see no sprites for it, since (mild spoilers) this is the first time we will be showing off alternate clothes for a character.
Our two writers saw a bit of delay with their work: Lone_Wanderer faced a shift at work, having had to start off a new project, while a close relative of Vinickus had died. We are over this bump now, and we're currently trying to catch up on the necessary workload again.
Other than writing, for the past few months, Rauch has revised and touched up all of the character reference sheets behind the scenes, adding alternate clothes and better defining the anatomy of characters altogether. Yes, he did create references for those anatomical bits, too.
We introduced a new kind of workflow to Folsky, which focuses more on making a batch of sprites for one character at a time, instead of distributing work across multiple characters. This change will help him keep a more consistent style across the character sprite set.
Samples created some new music pieces, however he also has been busy relocating in real life and hasn't had too much time to implement them yet.
We will keep you updated with our progress, but hopefully our next post will be the next build. Until next time!

Any update is better then no update. There are so many projects that get stared that where really good but suddenly just disappear or falls in to that Patreon limbo. I'm happy to see this one seems to be sticking around. It's way to hard to find a Visual novel with decent Scalies in them.
At least the game is still gets updates, honestly the waiting is worth it, even it's takes a long time.
I Can't wait for other new things that will be added to this game :D
And I wish good things for the team, cuz you guys doing great :)
The game will keep getting updates, and we do apologize for them being not as frequent as other furry visual novel projects. We simply lack the support that would be required to invest even more time than we already put into making the game. We also spent a lot of time in development hell due to bad writing originally and poor planning in the past. We are way better off today, and we hope that we can finalize the content revision by the end of summer and continue the story afterwards at a better pace with better planning and execution. Everyone's support means so much to us! <3

Meow,
I was fine with his 3rd date. After all this is a terror story, I think, no? Not that tree moment become fearful that was kind funny. Just thought that he helping to save his life would make his bond deeper. If that were the part changed.
But yes, I think that could have a choice option to people beable to choose what to do, in place of removed that could give a second option. If freaking out on him or not. So that could turn his route to a different way or even open to a ... different person like that black one that tried to repair the gym.
That is a nice work with all. =^.~=
After all I was anxious for more with Cedrik. Good to know have more from him.
Mewing,
Pandrine
P.S.: This is the novel that I am loving more to read.
Garreth's previous content was pretty poorly written and not really planned out, as a result of the mistakes of one of our former writers. His date progression didn't make much sense and lots of people rightfully were turned off by it, so we're happy that he now received a full overhaul of his character and that we are much more confident on his personality and story development plans.
I read about the writer change last year or that was in 2019?
If thinking some, many real people do not make sense doing some stuff time to time that is kind normal .
The sister of my godmother use to hit her head against the wall when she feels like she did something stupid. When people are very very angry they use to break stuff. Once when my mother felt angry. She just threw the mobile phone I lent to her on the floor. Luckily it did broken in pieces.
And maybe if they both characters in some way were mentally unstable that could make sense. At least one had the memory lost.
But well, I didn't read the new content yet. So better I read it 1st before talk something else. Maybe I talk later. Meow.
P.S.: Meow, That is just a think. =^.~=
