Helloooo! It's been a long time since I wrote a diary, hasn't it? Everything has an explanation and not a very pleasant one, but fortunately, it's all gucci now.

IMPORTANT!

Before I get into all that, I want to explain a small change of plans here: The thing about having the base game + updating it manually is going to change. In all the communities it has worked quite well, but here... quite the opposite. For almost every day since the public release, I've been getting messages, comments, etc from people having trouble updating the game, and everyone came from here, so I'm going to change how it works. But why does it work with a base game + updates? I've explained it several times but the summary would be that the game is already big enough to download the whole game every time there's a new update.

I made a guide, tested everything myself to make sure it works correctly, and.... well, people still have problems (especially those who use the Itch launcher). 

I've been thinking about it and luckily here I only have to upload two files, even if they are big, I don't have to upload it to 4-8 different sites like in other communities.

So then, from the next version onwards, I will upload the whole game here as usual. So you won't have any more problems with having the base game + update and all that.

For those of you who didn't have any problem updating manually, you'll have to go to my Patreon (or F95) to update it yourself if you don't want to download the full game with every update.

That said... For those of you who are on Discord, you already know the story so you can skip the first few paragraphs but I'll say that I'm almost completely recovered and I'm trying to get back to the usual work pace.

I'll give you a summary of what has happened these last two weeks: In the beta week, I was on antibiotics, and oh man... I had almost all the side effects, to the point that I had to spend two whole days resting and of course, stop the treatment. Luckily, a few days after stopping taking meds I started to feel well again.

Fast forward to last week: I was coming back from visiting my doctor as I wanted to make sure that the meds had not made me crazier than I am, and just a couple of streets before I got home, I had a car accident. It was nothing serious really although I got the worst of it (and my car too). It wasn't my fault, it was the recklessness of the car in front of me and although I reacted quickly, it wasn't enough to avoid the disaster. My car has the front end wrecked and my insurance doesn't want to take care of it because although it wasn't my fault, there are no witnesses or cameras to validate my version... Now I have the car at the mechanic's waiting for an estimate, and they have already told me that it is not going to be cheap. 

That doesn't really bother me, although, obviously nobody likes to spend money on something that has no fault but sometimes these things happen... What really pisses me off is that because of someone else's recklessness, my health has been affected because due to the airbag, caused burns on my left arm and a pretty bad inflammation on my knuckles, not to mention the shock and slight amnesia that lasted three days. After all that mess, I went to the doctor and I've been taking meds and burn cream for a week now. I feel much better and I'm almost completely recovered, although the meds keep me stoned most of the day.

So, due to these events, the week of the beta I was fixing bugs at a somewhat slow pace but I was able to work on things that didn't require a lot of thinking. This past week, I decided for once to listen to the people who told me to recover first and then go back to work, so I've been resting most of the week, although you know me, I always have to be doing something, so I started working on the wallpapers, fixed some last minute bugs, misspelling, and just yesterday I finished optimizing the code of the Patreon version to make it much easier to prepare the public version, since internally they work a little bit different.

So... v18 is delayed? Obviously yes, but only a week. So instead of beta time this weekend, it will be in two weeks (10th-12th).

What I can already say is that during the last two weeks, I've been planning all the content for v18, v19, and v20. This release (v17) it's about Natsuki, the next two releases will be about Lisapi (v18-19) and v20 will be a pretty big update in terms of content in general.

If you prefer, I'll break it down into parts:

• v18 = Lisapi + new Sara's level.
• v19 = Lisapi + Mabel's new level
• v20 = Lots of stuff

I'm not detailing anything about Lisapi so you don't jump to conclusions before the time, and no, I'm not going to say when you can have sex with her without the world exploding.

I also don't detail anything about v20 because I'm sure there will be changes, just like in v19 where there might be two main quests but... it's all a general idea. I'll give you more details as I work on it, but in v20 it's planned to add the beach, nudism, new Moonstars, a new stat (main girls), revision of the Perks feature...

It's possible that the v20 will require two months of work, or maybe I'll split it in two, and in the v20 I'll add main content and in the v21 I'll add all the extra content. As I get closer to that version, I'll let you know the final decision and all the content that will be there.

Having said all that... I invite you to join Discord as it's much easier to communicate with you all there, unlike here, where I always go into a lot of stuff because I think it's silly to write a one-paragraph post (that's why there are no DDs lately). Not only that, but it's quicker to share stuff I find interesting while I'm working on it.

Also, I'm thinking of changing the way DDs work and maybe posting a short one every 2 weeks, a long one during the beta week to show a summary of the new version content, and additionally show the spiciest stuff (something like a sneak a peek post or something like that).

I'll think about it, as it's an idea that came up just yesterday. And speaking of thinking... I think it's time to say goodbye for today, grab a bite to eat, and get to work.

See you this weekend with the v0.17.0 public release!

PS: These days I've been checking the form and I'm surprised by some of the results. First of all, the favourite girl there is Yuna, while Lisapi is at the bottom (whereas the opposite is true on Discord), and above all, it seems that on a general level, you like and/or would like to see more extra content related to the main girls. Interesting to say the least. See you!
