Progress Update | 12/05/2025

Hello there you wonderful and very attractive people!

Another week, another progress update!

Work on the next prequel beta has been going very good, I feel like I'm finally getting closer to get that huge "plot twist" in the end into the story. I think you remember that I mentioned that he MC is invited to dinner with Lea and Katharina, something very unusual. Well, if you decided to pursue a relationship with Lea, they will have a longer talk in the living room ( like you can see in todays render ) about Katharina acting kinda weird lately. And it's not only in regards to her wanting to teach the MC certain things, it's something different that they noticed in general. They think back to a few years ago and realise that it's not only Katharina that was acting weirder lately, Bethany was doing the same. They both have no idea what is going on though, and Katharina had a very weird request for the MC and Lea ( which they will listen to for now ), and they're also trying to figure that one out. It's all kinda nebelous in this event but as Chapter 2 progresses, it's going to get clearer and clearer. You know me, I like to drop hints that you will eventually all get it before the end of this chapter drops. Just think of Rei, it was pretty obvious from the get go, right? It will be kinda like that in the end.

Now with this plot twist in mind, I was thinking if I should do something similar in Chapter 4 again. But I feel like with the ultimate event happening at the end of Chapter 3, I'll tone it down there, at least for one Chapter. There is going to be an announcement there in the end, but it won't be as big, I think. I want to fully focus on the MC getting to deepen his relationship with certain girls. Especially the start of the more interesting events with Lina, for example. Of course they are all distracted with Anna being awake again, but that doesn't mean that the things they started will just be put on ice. So while the MC and Lina will go for a longer walk ( think of the event with Sarah outside ) and talk about this and that, the topic of them being more ... Let's say, open with their feelings for each other, comes up. Now that the MC remembers everything ( all the clues that Anna also dropped in his dreams with her ), he is not as hesitant anymore, but still makes sure that Lina is comfortable with all of it. I've never written these kind of relationships before so I hope I can make it as wholesome as I usually do. I always want the girls to initiate the next steps so it doesn't become "Creepy" or the MC becomes too pushy. You can really look forward to Pebbles being not as shy anymore, though ( unlike Yukiko who will try to act brave but then fails in a super cute way in the end ).

And I feel like thats it for now. The only reply I got from my lawyer ( who wanted to get an update on the case file before easter ) is that he didn't get anything from the state attorney yet. But he continues to pressure them ( I have proofs of that, the state attorney is just not doing anything right now ). If anything new comes out of this, I'll let you guys know. Stay awesome, like usual!
