Hey everyone! Theres quite a bit to talk about, but firstly Id like to give an official welcome to MissMagnificentDesolation who is joining the team on a part-time basis. Starting a little later than planned because of busy schedules and working in different time zones, but things are going well! Were still figuring things out, but Im happy to have her on board for the extra help. One of the first things I asked her to do was mock-up a little preview of her favourite Time For You character, Serah. Using the rough mockup and her notes, I modeled the image you can see. Mockups and notes help a lot with modeling, and its what I do for every scene in the game. Its going to take a little while to transition things to her, but overall, things have been going pretty smoothly and shes focusing on post-work right now. Were working our way through all the postwork for the Chapter 01 Refresh along with the first part of Chapter 04 and its looking really nice. You can see some of the new images below :3 Before we get into it, the Chapter 01 refresh is being released in full rather than 2 parts. Theres a lot more renders/animations and lewd content being added, and its more of an immersive experience being released in full rather than with the original and new content side-by-side (original content can still be viewed as an option while replaying scenes on your in-game phone). A bit of the starting of Chapter 02 is also going to be updated to match Chapter 01, but the Chapter 02 refresh would happen after Chapter 04 is done. Chapter 04 is being worked on right now as well, and will be coming out some time after the Chapter 01 refresh. Ill be giving release dates closer to when theyre done. More info on this and whats in the works below. Steam Achievements One thing that Ive been asked quite a bit about is if Steam Achievements are being added to the game. Yes, they are going to be added, but it will be after Chapter 04 is complete. Theres some work that needs to be done as saves could be affected with the change. That being the case, its not the focus right now, but I am coding in the flags for the achievements, so that theyll be ready for when Steam achievements are available in the game. More Wallpapers Ive also been asked if more wallpaper packs are going to be added by quite a few people and they will! Im currently working on one for Mandy, and then probably Serah, and Akane after that. Leave a comment if theres someone in particular you want (side characters like Jessie, Jenny, Luna, etc. as well if theres interest). Ill also be creating a complete-the-set for wallpapers in the future. Chapter 01 - Refresh One big thing Im working on is updates to Chapter 01. As I was editing and testing the entirety of Chapter 03, I was also doing regression testing and replaying Chapters 01 and 02 multiple times. In doing so, I kept noting down ways I felt the game could improve and build upon itself while maintaining its spirit. One of the most common notes I get about Chapter 01 is that there isnt as many renders and lewd content for a game like this. Chapter 02 does build on this, but Chapter 03 is where the renders, animations, and lewd content really hits its stride. Eventually, I want Chapters 01 and 02 to match Chapter 03 in that regard. There have been many more renders, animations, hidden items, and additional features added to Chapter 01, and so far its looking really cool. There are also a lot of new lewd events added to Chapter 01, and the lewd events that have been refreshed will give you an option to view the original versions while replaying them on your phone.
Extra Images and Wallpapers Like Chapter 03, theres going to be a lot more extra images that you will be able to find in Chapter 01 after the refresh. Youll also be able to find some wallpapers. For example, there will be a largely visible code youll be able to see during Detective Mode, and the game will explain that you should input that in your phone for a reward. Time Fragments Along with adding more content to the current Time Fragment in Chapter 01, there will be 2 more Time Fragments added. Clues A few clues will be added to the game to help with the bonus tasks in Chapter 01. For example, during the Office Cleanup, if you missed something to find, Vanessa will casually point you in the right direction. More Item Visibility for Detective Mode A bit more item visibility in Detective Mode has been added to Chapter 01. For example, you can now see the sponge youre looking for in the sink during scene 04. You should still search drawers and whatnot for bonus content though! Hero Vision A new feature being added to the game is something I like to call Hero Vision. At times in your gameplay youll see an icon, and by clicking on it, you will get to see what a character is wearing in Another Time, Another Place. Its a pretty simple, but fun way to add more lewd content to Chapter 01. This will later be added to Chapter 02, 03, and onwards. There will be a short but funny explanation in the game about it, which will be further built upon in Chapter 04 ;)
End of Chapter Check Like in Chapter 03, you will soon be able to find out if you missed any hidden items at the end of Chapter 01. Itll be extra useful, especially with all the additional hidden items being added. As always, some items are only available for a limited amount of time during a Chapter, but you will be able to obtain them in the future. Whats next for the Chapter 01 Refresh? A lot of the rendering is done for the images, and its mainly the animations, coding, and writing thats left. In typical ZeroHero fashion, Ive added more than I initially planned for, but its looking really good. You can see one of Selena's lewd scenes in the image below. Once the animations and post-work are done, its going to hopefully be smooth sailing from there.
Chapter 04
The first preview of Chapter 04! Its difficult to post a preview and not be spoilery, especially with how things ended with Chapter 03. The focus of Chapter 04 is Vanessa, but of course, like the rest of the Chapters, the rest of the main cast will of course be involved. I dont want anyone to think that the refresh is side-lining Chapter 04. Were still generally following the same plan. Ive been coding and writing for Chapter 04, and Im happy with the way things are going. While writing, it feels like Im in flow and the words are just flooding out of me. Its a great feeling and Im excited for you all to see how it turns out. Vanessa Lust Redemption - Chapter 04 Chapter 04 will be experienced differently if you dont have the right amount of lust with Vanessa, but of course, if youre not pursuing her, that shouldnt be too big of an issue. There will be one last lust redemption for Vanessa near the start of the Chapter, and during Chapter 04, your path will be locked for Vanessa - the game will either assume you are pursuing her or simply stop asking if you want to pursue her. Akane Unfortunately, my Akane model hasnt been working properly with my 3D modeling software update since late October. Luckily, I didnt update on my older computer, so Ive been able to model and render there, but its significantly slower than my main computer. Ive spent so many hours trying to figure out the issue to no avail, and support for the 3D modeling software has unfortunately not been able to help either. Luckily, with a recent update to the software, Akanes base mold works again, so after many hours, I recreated her (I have no idea why the new model works, while the older one doesnt as theyre basically the same - very frustrating). I also figured out how to fix an issue with one of her irises that Ive been fixing in post, so thats at least a bonus. Take a look below for the previous version, and her current version. Im still adjusting small things here and there, but Id say for the most part shes basically the same as before.

Chapter 04 Time Fragment Comment Poll The comment poll for the focus character of one of the Time Fragments for Chapter 04 will be available mid-April. Leave a comment about which character you want to win on that post! Whats next? Ill be heavily focusing on animations for the next little while. P.S. The Serah preview image is a render from a lewd scene which is going to be part of the post-chapter content for Chapter 01 :3 More news soon, and thanks for your support!
