@ Vynuxys and Tenxinori: I've added you both to beta-testing. Thanks for your interest! Let me know if you wanna change or drop anytime.

@ spiritsongtress: Again, it's really hard to say. At the very least, I'd like to get all the schedule functions done so that you guys will have lots of work with while proof-reading/beta-testing. When I will release a demo for testing is still up in the air. But sit tight and I'll let you all know when its ready for testing. X3
@ HikkiPanda: Ahaha, I suppose it would, but this is a non-commercial game, so I wouldn't exactly be able to live off of it. XD In any case, I already have a set plan for my career, game-making is alas just going to remain a hobby. But I'm sure the fans will be happy either way. =3
No new screenies yet, but I'm working on the Town Exploration part of the gameplay. When the MC chooses 'Visit Town' as an option for her afternoon break, there are a number of places she can spend relaxing or exploring. Here are some of the areas I have in mind:
Market District:General Store
Tailor
Restaurant
Entertainment District:Theatre
Tavern
Fortune Teller
Royal District:Palace Grounds
Botanical Gardens
Seaside Promenade
These areas are still subject to change, but this is just to show a basic idea of the sorts of places that will be available for all your MCs shopping, relaxing,
dating needs. Spending time in certain places may affect certain stats, or trigger special events. Naturally, the romance-able characters will have their favourite spots for hanging out during their free time, so there's a chance that the MC might bump into them while out in town.
Some areas are unlockable under certain conditions, others are only available during special events. Either way, I'm hoping that players will have fun exploring the different areas around town!
