I just realized something looking at one of the screenshots...



...you can invite a CAT to do things with you? Is it wrong that this thrills me? ("Hey cat, let's go read books together!")

The Ship activities sound find to me you could change "cleaner" to "Swob the deck" or something like that though. "Waitress" could be "Kitchen Girl" but the others sound shippy to me apart from read book but she has to have some time out.

I'll post a full list of jobs and what they increase so you can give me suggestions on better wording and yes you can invite anyone including the cat - in the game, you can talk to him but of course each character gives bonus on only some activities. It's not a very realistic game as you might have guessed

Ok I'm going to change both cleaner and waitress since indeed don't fit much the "ship theme". The others are actually all done in the colonies/on land, so they are fine (woodcutter, missionary, etc).

Sounds good to me. I'll be happy to make any suggestions if you need any. Anything to make Heileen 3 the best yet

I'm sure there will be space for lots of suggestions/bug reports during the upcoming beta testing

I look forward to the beta as well. Any typos/grammar being pointed out will be appreciated. ^^



And I'm nearing the end of Ebele's route. I still have a few other scenes to add in, etc, but it'll feel great once the romantic routes are completed.

So all the romances are done. Of course, now the original background artist disappeared luckily I have a replacement ready, but this means another extra delay on the release. Explains why I'm making the art for Loren 2 already now, to avoid those delays for missing artwork near the end of a project!

I still believe the game will be out in December, but honestly don't think early December anymore...

So all the romances are done.

Yay! Good job, sleepykitten. I'm so excited about the yuri version

You should be, after reading it I can confirm it's quite cool Since I'm waiting for art, I'm going forward with the yuri version meanwhile to reduce waiting times for that release

Double yay!

Just living up to my name.



Kidding aside, working on the last batch of scenes and then the editing/polishing will begin.

Just wanted to comment that I read the blog, and am excited that this will soon be ready for beta. (I still need to play Heileen 1 & 2, but have finals to worry about first...)

1 and 2 are very fun biscuit!

the simulation part is 90% finished, waiting for the other chibis to arrive. I am thinking to use the term "Breakthrough!" when you (rarely) get a big bonus on skills. Not sure though if that's the right word ?

It works, though if you want other options that mean (sorta) the same thing, you can try...



Epiphany!

Eureka!

Hooray!



(Personally, I like Eureka!)

Thanks, if breakthrough works I think I'm going to keep that word though

Today played a whole game to reach one of the "Profession Ending", at Normal level took me 258 days to reach level 10 in Trading. I realized though that I need to add an extra screen in the status to let the player choose a Profession Ending. When you reach level 10 in an advanced skill and the associated Sin/Virtue (for example Trading+Greed=Merchant! haha) you can choose if to get the profession ending (and see the ending image) or keep going. I put a time limit of 3 years in the game, which is more or less 1000 days so you should be able to raise your skill a lot to see more profession endings at once saving before you choose one

finished coding the "Professions Screen" which in practice shows all the 14 profession endings you can achieve in the game. Now I have done 99% of the coding and need to wait for the art and add the last few scenes in the game

The Professions screen looks great!, can't wait for this to be released, though I'm tempted to hold myself back until all the yuri content is finished as well.

If there are no more delays because of art, I think the beta might start the 8-9 December and the game be released around mid-December. But of course, those are the last famous words the yuri content I think will be ready in January/February.
