Here is what is new in Alpha 0.7d update:

The last empty equipment slot is now put in use. The new slot can be used to wear a second bracelet on the other arm. There are also two new bracelets you can buy and wear.

Black socks and black highs socks (Fashion Store).
Wooden beads bracelet and plastic beads bracelet (Fashion Store).

One of long-term development goals is implementing girlfriend’s dynamic personality, which will allow her skills and likes/dislikes to gradually evolve throughout the gameplay depending on your actions.

Right now it works for music skill/interest. After starting a new game, your girlfriend’s music interest will be set ranging from 0% to 100%. This skill directly affects her performance on piano. If you get good total piano score (over 80%), her skill will increase. If you get bad piano score, her skill will decrease. Also, if her interest is above 50%, she will talk about music in dating dialogues, and if her interest drops under 50%, she will stop talking about it.

All personality changes are now announced by a new “skill” notification icon appearing in the right part of the screen after completing any activity affecting girlfriend’s skills.

Now the girls will have more consistent personalities due to linked interests mechanics (this will work only if you start a new game, it won’t work if you load a saved game from previous version).

How it worked in the past: every personality detail was random, so your girlfriend could be interested in shopping, but not liking money at the same time, which didn’t make much sense.

How it works now: if your girlfriend is interested in shopping, she will always like money at the same time (and vice-versa: if she is not into shopping, she won’t care about money either).

A list of all linked topics thus far (it will be expanded in the future when new topics are added):

money – shopping;
sports – tomboy;
astrology – destiny;

• Now you have an option of skipping a day without a date (penalty: -10 relationship score). This was added to prevent possibility of being stuck without money (when you can’t have a date without feeding your girlfriend first, and don’t have money to buy food).
  
• Default apartment computer in your room is now replaced with a new mini-computer (if you start a new game). I’m planning to make these computers usable in the future, but for now they are used only for decoration.
  
• All kitchen utensils and the the recipe book now can be bought in the convenience store.
  
• Improved UV maps for legs to fix small mipmap artifacts that were occasionally visible on panties and socks if you zoomed camera out to maximum distance.
  
• 18:9 and wider screens now have more accurate gui scaling in 18:9 fixed aspect ratio mode.
  
• Small redesigns in the title menu.

All translations are updated according to the wiki.

Next to the Neko Cafe now there is a mini-playground with a swing. If you date a girl she will swing on her own, and if you date a pillow you can just place it on the second seat. The swing will be a part of a larger playground area in a different location, but since it will be quite a while as yet before that new location is released, I added the swing to the school map for now.

Now every day there is a 50% chance of rain, which will last for several minutes. The rain will prevent you from having outdoor dating activities unless you give an umbrella to your girlfriend. More weather effects (and, hopefully, dynamic day/night cycles – which are in research/experimenting stage now) are planned for future updates.


One additional hair style and a new hair color are available in the beauty salon.

• Configuration dialogue for screen resolution settings now has game logo.
  
• In addition to fixed 16:9 aspect ratio now there is an option (in the in-game smartphone) to set fixed 18:9 aspect ratio. This can be useful for ultra-wide screens (20:9, 22:9, etc.), since more screen space will be used for the game. Screens wider than 18:9 can be used only with fixed aspect ratio, for all other screens you can set aspect ratio to “free” and the game will adjust UI accordingly.
  
• In phone settings menu now there is a new setting for adjusting mouse wheel scroll speed. Depending on your OS and mouse this speed can be different, so this setting is useful for adjusting scroll speed.
  
• “Hidden recipes” are removed – now you can see full recipes for all food in your recipe book. Unlocking full recipes by trying to put random ingredients wasn’t as interesting as I originally thought it would be, and resulted in people mostly ignoring the cooking feature and using cafe instead. That’s why hidden recipes are removed for now.
  
• Fixed an issue with water refractions not working on Windows 7/8/10 (DirectX 11 issue). Now you (hopefully) will see correct water distortions in the school pool and in the shrine pool.
  
• Fixed a minor issue with incorrect camera placement that happened if you used quick camera mode in places with fixed camera view.
  
• Fixed an issue with coloring of certain clothes and items with multiple materials that happened if you used color umbrellas.
  
• Fixed a bug that happened if you opened your pillow’s status window while sitting.
  
• All bushes in the school are replaced with new models.
  
• All texts in the girlfriend’s status window now will be displayed correctly for chosen language (depending on whether they were translated in the wiki by contributors).
  
• Fixed several small animation issues.
  
• Fixed several minor collision issues that happened if you attempted to push your girlfriend while she was performing sitting animations.
  
• More accurate attaching of cosplay tails.
  
• Better textures for cosplay tennis shoes with red stripes.

All translations are updated according to the game wiki.

There was a significant bug in the 0.7b release disabling AI of your girlfriend if you turned off "selfie mode" by using "Q" keyboard key. This bug if fixed in 0.7c update.

There was a significant bug in the 0.7b release disabling AI of your girlfriend if you turned off "selfie mode" by using "Q" keyboard key. This bug if fixed in 0.7c update.

This is a very small update, and it’s released mostly to fix a memory leak issue that existed in previous release. But it also has a new selfie feature.

Now you can take selfies using in-game smartphone. After clicking on front camera button, your girlfriend will walk towards you for a photo (unless you stay too close to some obstacle). You can also take selfies with a pillow (in pillow dating mode) or with items in hands (e.g., ice-cream).

Right now photos are not used for any purpose, but in the future it will be possible to print them to use as wall posters (or collect in albums). Taking photos with your girlfriend also will be used as one of dating activities in certain locations.

• Fixed a memory leak issue while using in-game smartphone.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented closing girlfriend’s inventory in crawling mode.
  
• Fixed a few minor issues that happened if you managed to get arrested while swimming in the pool, eating in the cafe, playing piano, crawling (there were a few variables not cleared correctly).
  
• More accurate eye tracking of targets for all characters.

Now if you put certain cosplay hats or accessories on your girlfriend’s head, she will perform small cosplay gestures when you talk to her (instead of regular “Please take good care of me” message). Right now these gestures are working for these cosplay items:

• military caps (A and B).
  
• cat ears (black and white).

Now there is much better looking sky in all locations.

The map is extended and now has a small lake and a wooden bridge across it. "Sacred rock" is replaced with a new sacred tree. Now you can pull the rope in front of the main shrine building to ring a bell attached to it (this is one of actions traditionally performed by worshippers at a Shinto shrine).

• green school jacket.
  
• 2 military uniforms for cosplay, both consisting of caps, jackets, and skirts (Fashion Store).
  
• 8 panties (capsule machines in front of the Fashion Store).

The pocky game now has an additional effect of swirling sakura petals (if you reach stage 6). Also, it can be played both while standing or sitting on the ground. If you date a girl, she will choose to play it while standing or sitting depending on whether she has “cute” or “sexy” as a part of her personality. If you date a pillow, you can choose it by yourself.

• Convenience store in the school map is redesigned and decreased in size.
  
• Now the game interface will scale correctly for screens with 4:3 and 18:9 aspect ratios without using enforced 16:9 ratio with black bars on sides.
  
• Improved and more responsive controls for both “direction” and “rotate” movement modes.
  
• “Item zoom” feature is changed: now instead of clicking on items on racks you can view items in 3D mode directly from your inventory by clicking on them. All items that have “3D view” feature enabled now have an additional “3D” mark in inventory. The original idea of placing items in racks to be able to view them in 3D was unnecessarily complex and confusing to players, so I’m trying to make this feature simpler and more logical.
  
• More accurate camera rotation and controls while taking photos with smartphone camera.
  
• Fixed a minor bug that occasionally prevented starting kissing-mini game if you took off your girlfriend’s shoes.
  
• Better performance for pool water physics, more stable buoyancy. “Placing pillow on swim ring” mechanic is temporarily removed, since it still needs further work.
  
• Improved arms animation for eating from table.
  
• More accurate collider for crawling mode.
  
• Fixed a minor bug with incorrect scaling of pillow when you placed it on chairs.
  
• Improved meshes and weight painting for school dresses, t-shirts, fuku, mini-skirts, ponytail hairstyle (there were a few issues with animations).
  
• Camera rotation and moving items in inventory now can be done with both left and right mouse buttons.
  
• Omelette recipe is changed to classic Japanese “tamagoyaki” omelette.
  
• Various small fixes for camera movement and transitions.
  
• Fixed issue with “relationship level required” messages on girlfriend’s clothes showing incorrect values.

☆ Swimming pool

In alpha 0.6a update you can swim with your girlfriend in the school pool. The pool comes with new shaders, wave and floating simulation physics. In dakimakura dating mode you can place your pillow on a swimming ring or on inflatable dolphin and then swim with her.

Before going to the pool you can buy new school swimsuits in the Fashion Store.

There is a new option in the in-game smartphone to disable water physics (can be useful for older hardware).

The pool is not used for any dating activities as yet, but implementing swimming animations and water physics is an important preparation step towards future beach location (which is planned for summer 2018).

☆ Other additions and improvements

• A new script for in-game smartphone camera functionality - there was a long running issue causing various graphics problems with displaying sky, glass, foliage, etc. in the smartphone camera. Now this issue is (hopefully) resolved.
  
• Fixed GUI scaling for screens wider than 16:9 (e.g., 18:9) with "forced 16:9" aspect ratio option enabled - now the game will scale correctly for such screens.
  
• All looping animations are improved (better transitions between looping cycles).
  
• Semi-transparent materials for accessories (bows and umbrellas) are replaced with opaque ones due to camera z-sorting issues for transparent materials.
  
• Fixed the bug with some variables not being cleared on level transitions.
  
• Numerous small fixes for game physics, including the issue with speed increase for diagonal key directions (now the speed is the same in all directions).

This is the main new feature of alpha 0.6 update. One of classrooms on the school’s first floor is redesigned into music club room. You can use a piano there to play (or attempt to play) various music pieces with your girlfriend.

If you date a real girl, you’ll have to play four hands piano compositions on 16 keys (8 for you and 8 for your girlfriend). Your girlfriend’s skill will depend on whether she has “music” as one of her interests (this can be checked in the new girlfriend’s status window). Your own skills will depend on you. The final score will be a combined result of how good both you and your girl performed.

Every music piece in this mode has the main player (sitting on the right), and accompanying player (sitting on the left) playing keys with lower octaves. Playing on the left side of the piano keyboard is much easier, and this can be used as a dating strategy: if you know your girlfriend is good at music, you can let her be the main player and get good score. On the other hand, if she is not good at piano, you can let her sit on the left and perform more difficult parts by yourself.

If you date a pillow, you’ll have to play simplified versions of the same compositions on 8 keys (keys in this mode are the same for both left and right chair), and your score will depend solely on your own skills.

Thus far there are four compositions with varying difficulty you can perform, with “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” being the most easy (5 relationship points at 100% accuracy), and Beethoven’s “Für Elise” being the hardest (20 points at 100% accuracy). More compositions will be added later.

Toolbar with action buttons in the bottom right corner is redesigned. “rotating arrow” button is removed. Clicking on (i) action button now opens a new girlfriend’s status screen showing her personality details and feelings. Girlfriend’s inventory is accessed from this new status screen.

In dakimakura dating mode in the status screen you can rotate your pillow using right mouse button. Dropping pillow is done by clicking on (x) button which will appear instead of [phone] button in the actions toolbar (or by pressing “E” keyboard key, as before).



Crawling mode is enabled by pressing any direction key while sitting on the ground. Switching from crawling mode back to sitting is done by clicking on “sit” button (or pressing “space” key).

Dashi and tofu ingredients (used for cooking).
Kake udon, kitsune udon, kake soba, kitsune soba.

White tennis shoes with red stripes (Fashion Store).

• Rotations for figurines and other collectible items are now done around their geometry center instead of bottom.
  
• All racks with “item zoom” feature are now marked by small “zoom” signs.
  
• On-screen arrows in “item zoom” mode for item rotation are removed as redundant (rotation is done by mouse).
  
• Removed unnecessary action triggers from items with zoom (minor bug).

• Score in the pocky/kissing mini-game now shows actual relationship points gained, instead of amount of caught hearts.
  
• Better weight painting for shorts, ponytail and twin tails hairstyles.
  
• “Relationship level required” notification windows are replaced with regular item description windows with the same message. Minimum relationship levels for undressing your girlfriend are decreased.
  
• “space” keyboard key now can be used as a shortcut for “sit” button.
  
• Floating icons marking interaction points (date spots, table, bed) now disappear on approaching.
  
• Apartment dinner now can be started both from standing and sitting positions.
  
• Various small improvements to controls, UI, and girlfriend’s AI.
  
• Fixed the bug with getting stuck between school gates and signboard.
  
• Prices for hairstyles are decreased.
  
• “Kissing mood” now is triggered only if you reach 15 points (instead of 10), since it’s supposed to be a special event rather than one inevitably happening after every dating activity.
  
• Music for the kissing/pocky mini-game is replaced with “Cataclysmic Molten Core”.
