DEVLOG N3 :

Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S! Its been a while since we last updated you on our progress with the episode development, so heres the latest! Were making great progress!
Were getting close to the next big challenge, which will test everything weve learned in terms of gameplay and coding so far. Our goal is to make this something unique and fun for you. The good news is that, for the first time in the game, youll have the chance to finish as the B.E.S.T. rank #1, the best, the chosen one! The catch? Youre going to have to earn it :) And of course, with a new episode comes new features! First, were excited to introduce our very first motion capture effects! Youll get to see the results for yourself when you start the episode I have a feeling you already know which girl will be talking to you :) Next, weve added a few cool things! First, weve enhanced the messaging system with notifications, so youll know when you have messages waiting or when you can send them.
This icon will let you know if there are any messages waiting for you! Youll also see notifications in the phone apps to indicate where there are new activities or content available!
Finally as you saw in the previous screenshot weve created a special app for those who chose to talk to Kira during the party! Introducing our OnlyStan!
With this app, youll be able to see posts from the girls, read comments from their followers, and even leave your own comments And if you know us, you know that leaving a comment on one of these posts might just unlock certain scenes ;) Thats all Ill say for now Enjoy, and stay tuned for more updates soon!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Hi B.E.S.T.I.E.S ! While we're still working on Episode 4, We wanted to wish you good holidays and a happy Halloween ! Don't forget to check the forum to give your opinion about the game and what you would improve in the threads we have opened : https://steamcommunity.com/app/2404390/discussions/0/4696783943311073844/ Come on... just little teasing on what we are working on :
See you soon for the next Devlog :) Dolyla

EPISODE 4 : Devlog N2

Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S! After a month of September where we implemented the Japanese version, not without difficulty... Here we are again on the development of episode 4!
There will be some updates to the phone with the establishment of contacts and their personal files, on which you will be able to see the progress of the relationship with the hero. We're going to add an OnlyStan app for those who spoke to Kira during the free-roam, leading them on a special path on this subject.
Some small optimizations of the phone interface are underway to improve the experience (such as being able to click ON the phone to advance in discussions not next to it...) We have decided, to do all these time-consuming things, to hire a young developer and are therefore moving on to 3 people in carrying out this project.
Meanwhile we have already started renderings of the first scenes of the episode and part 1 is generally finished as far as the writing is concerned. In short, we are moving forward, we are moving forward. The goal is to deliver to you part 1 of this episode which will be longer than the others for the end of the year (That way we will have succeeded in following our roadmap!) Come on, let's go back because images don't just happen! Happy gaming everyone! Dolyla

EPISODE 4 : DEVLOG 1

Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S! I hope your vacation went well and you enjoyed it! For us there were a few small "inconveniences" when episode 3 was released but everything seems to be back to normal! For information, the phone "bug" has been fixed, the buttons now work as expected! The Russian and Chinese translations arrived, late, but are there! We received quite a bit of feedback on the quiz. Some found it cool and tried hard to find all the solutions, others on the contrary found it very boring. The goal was not to put you in difficulty on logic or general knowledge, but just to have a test based on this type of skills or knowledge because, logically, our hero takes a test to be the best student. Don't worry, we don't plan to do any quizzes soon! Then in terms of free-roam and story, players generally appreciated the choices offered. As for the update time (namely that our roadmap, as it was initially established, is currently being followed), we are therefore counting on the end of the year for episode 4. We know that the wait can be a little long but overall we are not bad compared to other games of this genre. Of course some have much more content or increased quality which extends development times. But we have counted on offering you an episode every 3-4 months as you have decided. I remind you that a vote on the forum was made from the start to find out if you wanted more frequent updates (part 1 / part 2) or not. It was decided to deliver full episodes to you for more content and less testing or problems between versions etc... I'm telling you about this because overall the rating of the game dropped in this episode for these reasons: - Quiz too difficult - Development time too long - Late translation for Russian/Chinese - Not enough sexual content / or sexual content too difficult to find - Game not fun enough - ... We take all your feedback into account and really hope to improve as we go. Once again, don't forget that the game is in early access too so we can improve it as we progress! We also know that players are more likely to say when they don't like something than when they like something. This is also why we dose and continue more or less in the same vein! Finally, know that the scenes of episode 4 are already organized, arranged, the choices are already prepared and the intro is already made. Come on, let's go back because we still have work to do! Have a good day and see you soon for the first screens of episode 4! Dolyla

    DEVLOG 10: 22H !

    Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S!
    I hope you are enjoying your summer, that the weather is nice at home and that the holidays are going well! At our house, we're working hard to finish this episode for you! The mini free-roam finished, the associated scenes too, we naturally move on to the second part of the evening which depends, as always, on your previous choices!
    The 10 p.m. scene will be common to all paths then 11 p.m. will be the last possible branch of the evening which will determine the end of midnight. The animations for certain scenes are already done and the important ending scenes are already written. All we have to do is make the missing renderings and animations.
    For your information, here are some figures: At release, there were 1250 images and 50 animations for episode 1 and 2. We are now at 2000 images and 93 animations (with episode2 extended + episode 3) and it's not over :) For an average of 10-15 renders / day.... The quality has also increased further. In terms of deadlines we are a little late, the roadmap that we initially set stipulated a release of episode 3 for this month, but with the addition of new features such as telephone and free- roam, translations... It will be more for next month. Time to finish the episode, send it to the translators and test to be sure to provide you with a complete episode with as few bugs as possible! Thanks again to everyone for your support!
    See you soon ! Dolyla

    DEVLOG 9 : 21h00 !

    Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S! Today we finally move on, the 8:00 p.m. free-roam part having finished. It took us a while to figure out how to make something cool. With the telephone and free-roam, this gives us two new things we learned that will save us time on the next episodes!
    So we now move on to the 9:00 p.m. scenes and as the evening continues, we should be able to move faster now.
    New characters, actions, scenes available according to your previous choices... We really hope that you will enjoy what we have prepared for you! I'll leave you and come back to you when we get to the 10:00 p.m. section!
    See you soon ! Dolyla

    Devlog 8 : 20H00 !

    Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S! Lots of little news today! As you know, Episode 3 is divided by hours and the free-roam represents the evening at Grace's, also divided by hours. We are at 8:00 p.m., the end of the evening passing at midnight.
    Last week was largely used to learn how to code some things including, and I think this will please some players: the arrival of the phone!
    So we had to integrate it into Episode 4 at your request... But we found the opportunity to use it before so we spent time on it trying to understand how it works and in the end... Well we are quite satisfied with the result! This of course needs to be improved over time, but here are the functions that we have managed to integrate: - The list of dynamic contacts according to your history and the paths you follow. - You can, at certain times, send messages to girls yourself, again depending on the story and the choices you have made previously. - Integration of B.E.S.T stats into the phone. - History of messages received - A Wallpaper function to change the phone's wallpaper: When you receive photos of girls by message, they are saved in the phone and you can reuse them as wallpaper. Other functions will come over time. If you have ideas for useful things to add, don't hesitate to leave us comments! The other part of the time was used for free-roam and in particular the navigation system inside. We have therefore created free-roam in such a way that you do not have to look for where you need to go but to choose. Here is the main hub for this evening and how the free-roam will be organized:
    As you see the middle image represents the hub where you can click on girls to talk with them or participate in activities, at the top and bottom the movement bars which tell you which room to go to. Finally obviously events depending on your choices and current routes will take place during this event, characters will be available... or not for you depending on your saves... Finally, now that all that is done, even if it took us a little longer than expected, it saved us time for episode 4! All that remains is to chain together the images and animations for the evening and move forward in this free-roam until the end of the episode! See you soon ! Dolyla

    DEVLOG SPECIAL: YOUR CHOSEN NAMES!

    Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S! Now that Episode 3 Part 1 is live on our support sites, we can fully focus on the second part of this episode: the party at Grace's place!
    Episode 3 Part 1 features over 300 new renders, 14 animations, a new test, a sexy scene, and new music. It's already a significant step forward for the story's progression. Part 2 will have a completely different style, with events changing based on your choices and preferences during the evening, along with some surprises :) I'll provide a specific devlog on this topic as we progress, detailing the system we've implemented for this first "free-roam" feature integrated into the game.
    The girls are busy with their makeup right now, so we'll leave them alone for the moment :) Two weeks ago, we asked you to suggest a name for our new character. Here are the selected names: Katarina Alya Kira Veronica
    We will now put these names up for a vote by our supporters on our support sites, and I'll let you know the result! Stay tuned for the next Devlog to hear about our progress on Part 2! See you soon! Dolyla

    Hey B.E.S.T.I.E.S! This is our last girl arriving in the casting of B.E.S.T and... Even if we have an idea for her first name... We would want you to give us your ideas on how to name her !

    DEVLOG 7 : 20 000 players and Episode 3 Part 1 nearly finished !

    Hello B.E.S.T.I.E.S! (Yeah, I didn't really know what to call B.E.S.T players so I opted for that ^^) Today we reached a new milestone for our game: there are now more than 20,000 players who have played, tested, loved or hated our game! And its really great because, for early access, its really a great success! When we think that a little over a year ago we started from scratch saying that we were going to make our own game by learning everything as we went along and that now, thanks to you, your advice and requests ... We're here, it's fabulous and it motivates us to continue calmly! So once again: THANK YOU!
    Well, apart from that, a little information on the progress! We improve on animations and renderings again and again and save time on that thanks to the 2 computers. So you'll have a little more animations and a little nicer stuff in this episode, with even better image quality compared to episode 2. We've almost finished the last scene of the first part of Episode 3. We just have the last few animations to do, then we're going to put the music on and send it all to the translators. Then, as seen with Steam players, this Part 1 will be available on our support sites which will test the new features (and hunt for bugs if there are any ^^) to make a real release of the full episode on Steam as soon as it's ready. Part 2 is organized, written and a few surprises have been added. As you now know, this part 2 will essentially be based on the evening at Grace's. As there will only be a global environment normally this part should go faster regarding the images. Regarding the code, this will be our first "free-roam" that we will try to make dynamic and fun for players to do. Once again there will be several scenes depending on the previous choices, activities to do depending on the time of the evening and the desire you have to follow or not the program organized by Ruby :) Finally in part 1 you will meet a new girl who is important in the story.
    Only we have a problem... Her first name. We have had an idea from the beginning but we are not sure of ourselves. So, to involve you in the development of this story, we want to offer you the opportunity to name this character! Dont hesitate to give your ideas! The first name should have a slightly oriental sound, be original and, above all, please you. We will keep the best proposals and vote on your proposals on our support sites!
    As for the deadlines, given the planned roadmap we are just on target, Part 1 was planned for May and Part 2 for July. We're right there for now. Learning to code the second test took a little longer than expected but the result seems nice to us and we can't wait to see your results on it! Our objective is clearly to try to finish the episode for you by the beginning/mid of July, before the holidays if possible :) That way, we can continue on Episode 4 for the end of the year as we had planned. That's it for today, I'm going back to the last spicy scene in progress :)
    See you soon ! Dolyla

    DEVLOG 6 : 100 Reviews and some news !

    Hello there ! I'm proud to see that we have reached 100 reviews about our game! That's awesome! And mostly very positive! It's very kind of you! We really want to make a game you like to play... And it seems that we are on the right track ! So we will continue !!!
    Now some news about Episode 3 ! The 2 last weeks were slower due to childs holidays. But we have finished 3 scenes and 2 are remaining before Grace's party ! We really think it will be a good and fun update for the players. We have made some improvements about the navigation during the episode like this one :
    You will have to click on the "girl" you want to follow and you will see her part of the story, then the story will continue. You can even pass if you don't want to see these side stories ! It's not a navigation map but we think it's more efficient for the game than a map to click. It's visual, it's simple and you know what you are doing all of this in one click. Tell us what do you think about ! All those scenes are finished, renders included, animations too... We are currently in an harder part : coding the second trial ! You will have during a day class a new trial based on the Education.
    Gabriella will give you a tablet and you will have some questions to answers in a limited time. General knowledge, logical or just luck... Your rank will change depending on your result ! And some bonus will appeared for those who have a good education level (I'm talking in the game of course !) ! Others characters, during mini scenes before, and depending of the paths and choices you made before, can give you some tips... Don't miss the tips in the discussions, or in the renders... I let you there, we have some code to make ^^ We really hope it will works as intended... See you later for, I hope some news about the Grace party ! Dolyla

    DEVLOG 5 : EPISODE 3 PROGRESS

    Hello everyone ! After a few manipulations, the new setup is installed and the first test animations have been made. It works more or less as expected and that's good!
    The first scenes have their images and we will soon move on to the second part (of three) in this episode, namely a new test. I won't tell you more but know that education will be at the heart of this test :) The third part will be the one that I suppose many of you are waiting for: the party at Grace's! This may take us a little time given the evening, the choices, the activities, the little free-roam etc... But we really hope that you will enjoy what we have planned!
    Finally we will close the vote for Ruby's dress! Many of you voted and on our support sites like on Steam you agree on the dress that Ruby should wear. So this will be it!
    Honestly it wouldn't have been our first choice, seeing Ruby as Girly... It's weird! But we're going to do it :) Given the size of the event planned for Grace's party, we will probably stop episode 3 after the party as was originally planned. As a reminder, episode 3 was originally made up of the extended update of episode 2 + the day and the party. But to improve the end of episode 2 and have a more logical breakdown by 'day' of play, we preferred to spend this part in 2 and focus 3 on the day of the party. We don't know exactly how much playing time Episode 3 will represent, this time some paths are well differentiated and certain scenes are only accessible according to your previous choices... So we're going to try to calibrate this like the others. I will let you know when the second part and the test are done, we will then only have the evening to do. In the roadmap we planned to release episode 3 for June and for the moment we are on track. With hotfixes for Steam Deck, translation corrections, the extended update, we have made pretty good progress and we will try to continue this momentum by going faster on images and animations thanks to our purchases. See you soon ! Dolyla

    Hi there !
    This little update status to keep you informed about our progress. We now have received our new workstation that, connected to the NAS, will render the game while we will work on the main computer. It will save us a lot of time and we really think we can progress quicker than never like that.

    DEVLOG 3 : Episode 2 Extended

    Hello everyone! Today, we're at the end of the end of this update, and basically, we just have animations and translations to finish before we can give you the update for episode 2.
    To prepare for the implementation of episode 3, we've made some purchases, and there are still others to be made: We bought a UPS to protect our devices and a NAS to work on our data over the network. A new monitor and additional RAM (64GB instead of 32) for our main machine. Now that we have all this... We thought it would be best to buy a second machine to do the rendering in a chain. Indeed, we are currently doing the renders "on the fly"... That means we follow the script and place the image... press render and wait, without being able to use the computer, until the image is finished... then move on to the next one.... With images like ours, this takes between 20 minutes and 1h30 per image! Time during which we cannot use the computer. With the NAS we took, we thought about a new organization to go MUCH faster: We prepare the images with our main computer, send the ready file to the NAS in a render queue file, the second computer retrieves this queue file and performs the images in sequence. This allows us to free up computer 1 from this task and especially not to have any waiting time during the image rendering! Since if we get ahead we just add to the queue, and otherwise we have two computers to do animations or other etc...
    So for episode 3, we're going to try to work like this once the second machine is purchased, which should drastically reduce the episode development time, also giving us more time to work on important things that players have asked for, like the minimap etc... I'll keep you posted as soon as we receive the equipment and in the meantime, I'm going back to finish my end of episode animations (and sexy time :) ). See you soon! Dolyla

    DevLog 2 : Episode 2 Extended Version

    Hello to all our B.E.S.T players!
    Today, a little update on the progress of the update planned to extend episode 2 with the old part 1 of episode 3! After receiving your comments on this part which seemed problematic to us, we decided to change the way the episodes were divided to end the day with episode 2 and move on to a new day with episode 3!
    So the advance that we had on episode 3 helps us with that and we are in the process of finishing this update with a lewd scene and a romantic scene. Once these two scenes are finished we can move on to the final translations to be done, check that everything is working as it should and deliver this update to you to finally move on to episode 3 which will be quite important in terms of gameplay and story. !
    Today again there are bank and accounting meetings and this end of the week will therefore be devoted to these last two scenes to be finished, to the animations to be carried out and the last renderings to be made. See you soon for, I hope, the update goes online! Dolyla

    DevLog 2 : Rorganization !

    Hello to all B.E.S.T participants! Today a little update on where we are and where we are going!
    So this week was not very productive in terms of work on the game itself but much more on meetings with lawyers, accountants, banks... The success of B.E.S.T forced us to review our company plans (basically we just wanted to remain self-employed...) and to open a development company in France... Lots of paperwork, all to better manage taxes and it's not over yet... We're still waiting the official papers to be able to open the professional bank account etc... In short... The good news from all this is that we will be able to start working peacefully by having the funds for the small family... or even hire to support the project / start other projects!
    Besides that, we read all your comments and reviews of the game and we sincerely want to thank you for your opinions, whether positive or negative, because they are very important to us and above all, you give us your opinion on what you would like to find in the game, the improvements that we can make and all the optimizations that we can add! Its really great to have your feedback and I thank you once again! So, you gave us your opinion for the end of episode 2: We are going to release an EPISODE 2 EXTENDED update with what we had planned for the start of episode 3! This update will add about 20 minutes of additional content, a little lewd, a little romance and a little more action before the planned integration day for episode 3 :) We will try to release it next month, while we finish the 2 big scenes of this update and do the translations.
    In terms of improvements that would be interesting and feasible for episode 3, there are points on which we tend to agree with you: - Add an interactive map to the game for the player's movements so that he goes to the stadium / gymnasium / class etc... and has several possible choices on the map depending on the moment in the story... Rather than to go through buttons, this would make the game more lively and dynamic and would give the player more of an impression of "playing". We will try to create this map for episode 3. - We had overestimated the principle that players replay the game several times to see all the possible paths. Indeed, it seems that the players quickly chose their favorite and do not play another game once they have reached the end, because they are waiting for the rest of the story with her... (Grace would have a good proportion of players on this subject it seems :) ).
    We are therefore going to try not to do too many parallel paths as we did from episode 1 with Red and Blue but rather to keep paths by girls by having the maximum scene length and not in parallel. I don't know if you understand what I'm writing to you but basically the choices will have an impact on the content of the scene but more on the appearance of the scene itself. - The phone is something we have already implemented in the game but we are only using the chat function for now. We will try to use the phone better but we will do it from episode 4 for "logical" reasons from that point on in the storyline. The goal is also not to take too long to integrate new things and not to make progress on game updates... - In terms of the events, we are going to try to implement some gameplay elements in the next ones, nothing too crazy so as not to put the players in difficulty either, but just enough to make them "participate" during an event sport by tapping the space bar to increase the shooting gauge on the next match for example... Let the player be active in the game and no longer just directed by the story.
    - Finally we are going to try to set up a tree of choices within the game for Episode 4, so that you can see what paths you have unlocked and what you might have missed! We say Episode 4 because it's a big feature and at the moment we have no idea how to implement it but it will give us time to research while we do Episode 3 calmly. These are the points on which we will try to improve... If you see other important things, do not hesitate to tell us via the comments or the forums! Once again we will integrate new things gradually but this must not be at the expense of the progress of the overall story... We want to succeed in offering you between 2 and 3 complete episodes per year and let's not put additional delays on features that wouldn't add much to the game. Well, there you have it, I wrote a big piece today! For those who are still here reading me... Thank you! And I'll see you in 2 weeks for the next Devlog which will be dedicated to this EXTENDED UPDATE! Waiting for... Happy Valentines Day everyone! Dolyla

    We need your opinion!

    Hello to all our B.E.S.T players!
    Today we are fully in the construction of episode 3 and part 1 of it is generally well advanced. However, something is bothering us... Wouldn't it be better to cut the episode differently by adding this part at the end of episode 2?
    This part takes place in the afternoon and evening of the day the first match takes place. If we add it to Episode 2, that would end the day completely and we would start on Episode 3 with a new day devoted to the integration evening... If we leave it in Episode3, it will be longer but will rather be divided into 3 parts with the end of the afternoon / the day then the evening at Grace's...
    So here we would like your opinion on the question: Should we do an "extra-update" adding content (around 20 minutes) at the end of episode 2 to conclude it a little more "gently", or keep everything to make an episode 3 a little more massive but perhaps having less coherence in the division of scenes in the end?

    Full on Episode 3!

    Hello to all B.E.S.T players! It's been two weeks since B.E.S.T was released and we're delighted with the reception you've given it! There are imperfections, things to optimize or improve, and that is precisely why your comments and reviews are important to us! Now we look to the sequel and in particular episode 3! We will try to give you news every 2 weeks on the progress of episode 3 so that you know where we are and so that you are not left in the dark. IF you want us to give details in the devlog on what exactly we are doing we will do that, otherwise I was thinking of doing something like this:
    This way every two weeks you will be able to see where we are and what we still have to do before the release of episode 3! Dont hesitate to tell us in the comments what you think! Of course we will give you some previews as we progress to give you an idea of the scenes that will take place in this episode :) But no spoilers ^^ Come on, let's go back! See you soon for the first real Devlog! Dolyla

    4 days before release !

    Hello everyone! Well, it's been a year since we started the game, and it's finally happening this week... The release!!!
    In 4 days, you'll be able to try out our game and let us know what you think and, hopefully, help us improve it! Since the holidays, we haven't made much progress on Episode 3 because we've taken on a new project: translations! Currently, we're working with translators on 4 new languages to include (not all of them will be ready for the release...): Italian Spanish (LATAM) Russian Chinese (Traditional and Simplified) We'll create posts in the discussion space so you can tell us what you think about the translation and suggest improvements! We're counting on you to tell us what you like or don't like, so don't hesitate! Dolyla


    [ 2024-01-15 08:33:32 CET ] [ Original post ]


    New feature : Streaming mode !

    "If you want to play with your viewers and let them make choices during the game to see what it will lead to, you can do so without worrying about explicit content being displayed on the screen thanks to the streaming mode, which disables the gallery and changes 'spicy' scenes to more 'stream-friendly' scenes! We hope to see many of you streaming your story!"

    5K Wishlists on STEAM ! And a lot of news :)

    Hi everybody ! These days were full of events for us and we continue to enhance the game to provide you the best experience of B.E.S.T when it will be released in January on STEAM !
    Talking about the release, we are now at more than 5000 players that have added B.E.S.T to their wishlist and it's wonderful cause it's an important milestone for us to continue the project and have sufficient funds for further development. B.E.S.T will be sold at 11.99$ with a reduction for the release (Around 9.99$). The 2 first chapters of the 6-8 planned for season 1 are ready. So after the UI enhancements shown before, we have added a new feature to the game : The Walkthrough Mod !
    Walkthrough mod will be a DLC sold at 1.99$ and will cover all the season, when an episode will be released, walkthrough will be updated too. This DLC is done for the players who don't want to seek how to reach some scenes, play some paths... But we strongly advise to play without Walkthrough mod for your first time !
    About the game itself here are the updates of the game :

    • New improved translation in English with a proofreader.
    • Renders and animation remade for Red's path
    • Scenes added for the finish of the episode with one lewd scene, a romantic one and an ending scene you will discover...
    • Coming next trailer added
    • Changes about how statistics affects some paths / variables optimization
    • Walkthrough in EN/FR to have information about the paths, the statistics and the "best choice" to make in every situation.
    • Achievements added to the game and to Steam for the end of Episode 2.
    So... Now we are on a new feature not included in the game yet that will add a little fun: Found the Mini-Rufus ! In some renders you will have some mini-Rufus hidden in the background... You will have to collect them for rewards. This will be our last "addition" to Episode 1 and 2. Then we will go work to Episode 3. About Episode 3 we are already in but won't say more and let you discover it through the end of episode 2 !
    Well I think that's all... I will let you there now cause we have so much work till the release date... And Christmas will arrive... See you soon ! Dolyla


    [ 2023-12-05 14:56:25 CET ] [ Original post ]


    NEW DEMO AVAILABLE !

    We are proud to show you our latest DEMO VERSION ! Hope to see you for the release ! Dolyla


    [ 2023-11-23 23:43:25 CET ] [ Original post ]


    2 months before STEAM launch !

    Hello to all! Yes, it's already just two months before the game's launch on Steam, and I'd like to take advantage of this countdown to tell you what's planned for the launch and beyond! Firstly, we've decided to change the Steam banner to focus entirely on Grace because she's your favorite, and it catches the eye! So, here's the new official game banner (for this episode).
    Now, let's take a step back to version 0.2.2 and Episode 2 in general. The episode is almost complete, with a total of 4 scenes remaining, at least 2 of which will be there for the release. These two scenes will be quite spicy
    We will also provide an additional walkthrough on Steam for players who wish to have it alongside the game. In addition to this, we have planned an extra update one month after the release to allow time to develop what we call "extra content." This extra content will consist of two parts: The first part is actually a collectible card system hidden in the renders of Episode 1 and Episode 2. These cards will serve as the basis for a mini-game in future episodes. The game will be based on a system similar to Final Fantasy 8's Triple Triad. A basic starter set will be prepared to have a deck, different depending on the save, each with its own dynamics... And of course, in-game events can trigger "battles" with these decks! We hope to have this "starter" ready by the beginning of the year. Here is a prototype of a card :
    The second part will be 2 additional scenes added to the end of Episode 2, providing a proper conclusion to the episode before moving on to Episode 3. All of this leaves us with a lot to finalize before the game and the extra content are released! I hope you still enjoy the game as much as before, and if you haven't done so already, don't forget to add it to your Steam wishlist !!! See you soon for information about Episode 3! Dolyla!

    ROADMAP FOR 2024 !



    [ 2023-11-03 11:40:01 CET ] [ Original post ]


    Girls are ready ! And you ?

    Hello everyone! Today, a little preview of what's coming in episode 2 and what you'll be able to do in the game's release!
    In episode 2, the first match is about to take place, and your choices throughout the first two episodes will influence its outcome... For example, if you've played with Madison and followed her path throughout the adventure, specific actions with her may occur during the match... Similarly, if you want to go solo, make sure you have enough B.E.S.T points in sports, or you might run into some difficulties!
    We really hope you'll enjoy this first match! See you soon... Dolyla!
