Thanks LadyOfGatsby! That's a huge compliment. :) We can't wait for you to be able to play it either! And Googaboga put lots of work into making her an unusual protagonist for an otome; there was a lot of back and forth on her personality, so we're super glad you like her. And thank you for the stalking! ;D

@LadyOfGatsby
Aaw, thank you very much ^v^.



Hooray, the first post has been updated. And now you can finally see some of the people you can be saddled with in XOXO Droplets. Namely, the two Minor Boyfriends, as sweet as they are clueless, Kam and Adrian. To save some trouble I'll also put them here in this post:

Plus you can see their casual outfit and a couple of their expressions on the dev blog.

On a scale of thrilled to really thrilled, how do feel about this project?
Hella thrilled. What can I say? I really enjoy crude humor and unconventional characters.

If we twisted your arm behind your back and just demanded you choose between all these astounding characters, who would you pick as your favorite(s) so far?
MC because I love characters (specially female) that are unapologetically themselves, and by the looks of it, seems she's an unapologetic jerk.

Do you think you'll follow the game's updates (we'll be having one every single day on our blog for the next two months, they'll be linked in this thread too)? Why/Why not?
Yeah sure! I like looking up updates of games I'm interested in after all so...??

Any questions, comments, expectations, whatever?
I like the two minor boyfriends, specially Kam Sung because I also like the Barbie Girl song lol
My question: So you can break up with the boy, but can they break up with you????

I really look forward to this game.

I'm happy to hear that and thanks for answering the questions :>.

Awesome. And yeah, this isn't a game where anybody takes back what they do. They are who they are and you just have to deal with it forever.

Great, thanks :].

Heheh, me too X3.

As for your question; Kam, Adrian, and any of the six Clique Boyfriends will break up with you if you don't spend enough time with them. The six main guys won't bother. They don't have any increased expectations just because they're officially dating someone.
I really look forward to this game.
Thank you :mrgreen:.

Okay, so I updated the first post again with more extra screenshots and the rest of the the gameplay updates ^^. Now what? We talked about it on the blog but here's the basics of of it; for the next six weeks there will be an update every day related to one of the main guys. Each of those weeks will have one main guy it’s dedicated to, starting with EG (aka Guy #1), and all the daily updates will help you get to know him better. Here are the updates you can expect for the next six weeks:
Saturdays: Intro Event
Sundays: Full Reference
Mondays-Thursdays: Parts 1-4
Fridays: Full Bio

The Intro Events/Parts 1-4 are all small non-canon scenes that will be playable in your browser, the full reference is an image that shows what the main guy looks like with two of his outfits. and the full bio is a straightforward description of the guy's personality.

You can read about it in more detail here:

We're still in the middle of the week dedicated to Main Boyfriend #1 (Everett) but we have to give a quick update anyway. Because the first of these events are rather short we put Part 1 and 2 together as well as Part 3 and 4 together. So all the events for Everett are available to watch already. He certainly likes to make things more difficult than they have to be.

And now we're on Everett's last day of being the center of attention. Here's what we've added since Tuesday.

Bio
Everett Screenshot Set 1
Everett Screenshot Set 2

Okay, so we've finally covered everything for the first guy. To repcap he's got a few events you can watch in your browser, a fullbody reference sheet, various screenshots, and a detailed personality bio. Tomorrow we'll get to start talking about someone new ^^.

Alrighty, the first page has been updated with the name and appearance of the second main guy. The rest of the week will be covering what he's like as a person. He's definitely more unique in what makes him so unpleasant in comparison to Everett.

Updated the first post with the rest of Nate's stuff and the first few things for Guy #3. Nate and Everett hate this guy's guts, but it's alright, he knows how to hold his own against them.

Shiloh's done so that's it for the first half of the main guys. The second half of the guys have a different disposition than the first, though that's not terribly obvious with guy #4. Speaking of which, his introduction event and full reference are up :3.

Jeremy's stuff is all up and we're partway through the updates for the last main boyfriend option :]. I'd say he's probably the most difficult out of all of them.

On a scale of thrilled to really thrilled, how do feel about this project?
Very thrilled! This looks like it's going to be a really interesting game that is going to be brutally funny.

If we twisted your arm behind your back and just demanded you choose between all these astounding characters, who would you pick as your favorite(s) so far?
Probably Nate, or the MC.

Do you think you'll follow the game's updates (we'll be having one every single day on our blog for the next two months, they'll be linked in this thread too)? Why/Why not?
Absolutely! I'm very interested in seeing how this game progresses, and I'd like to be able to keep up with development up until its release.

Any questions, comments, expectations, whatever?
So far, everything in this game looks really-well put together and thought out. It looks like you've taken some of the best aspects from VN's and really applied them here. The GUI is so cute and really compliments the art style. It all looks very clean cut and smooth, great job!
I'm really excited to see how the accessories system will end up working out, and it actually brings up my questions:

What types of accessories will there be, generally? (I know you specified that they wouldn't all be ribbons, and I noticed you mentioned scarves, but I'm wondering if there will be hats, earrings, glasses...etc.)

From some of what you've said, it sounds like there might be microtransactions in-game. Is this true? If so, what will be the implementation of that and will that system be essential for gameplay?

Overall, I'm really excited to see the process and I'm definitely looking forward to the end product! :D
