Roadmap changes announcement (and the ETA of v.06)

Hey everyone so a quick update of the roadmap as things are progressing a bit different than expected here's whats in store now.

roadmap

1. v.06 The Chyoi update (includes everything for Chyoi, CG's endings, and all routes)
2. v.065 The blackmail and consequences update
   
   1. there aren't a ton of consequences for blackmailing as of right now in Loveless, This update will fix that adding new dialogue for those of a more manipulative persuasion, making certain individuals less trustful of you (Kaede prototyped this system but i'm planning to retrofit it into far more people with v.065)
      
3. v.07 The Eri update p1
   
   1. this will include all of eri's path's, deaths, blackmail options and pacifist route. due to the nature of Eri being the most confrontational and me needing to program and render multiple micro endings for screw ups, this update it's going to be a 2 parter
      
4. v.75 Eri's Lament (Eri update p2)
   
   1. includes the rest of the projected 5 alternate "fail" end cards owing to Eri's personality.
5. v.079 Refinement update
   
   1. A small update centered around fixing some old CG's grammatical fixes (punctuation, misspellings i may have missed, etc), and general quality of life updates with any other encountered bugs that may have escaped notice.
      
6. v.08 The Sora update
   
   1. same as Eri this will include all major choices and content for Sora
      
7. v.085 Refinement p2
   
   1. one last ride down the patching slide before the epilogue, fixing any not so great CG's based on feedback, and a bit of code cleaning and maybe some new CG's depending on time
      
8. v.09 Epilogue
   
   1. The response to all your actions and the consequences of your choices. right now we're looking at about 11 total endings (not including the failed murder endings)
      
9. v.09 Full release!
   
   1. at v.9 the game will be finished save for Hinata (The alternate love interest) the game will need to be recoded in many different places so be aware hinata will probably be longer than any other update to release. This update will include any final bug fixes and corrections to the epilogue + any remaining CG fixes that weren't able to be implemented sooner as well as persistent awards for the main menu (just a small achievement icon for each main ending you achieve).
10. v.095 Hinata p1
    
    1. you'll finally be able to pursue Hinata, due to the massive undertaking i'll be splitting this into two parts.
    2.  v.095 will fix all the code BUT not include the CG's
11. v1.0 Final version (Hinata p2)
    
    1. add's all the CG's for Hinata
       
    2. Achievements for Hinata.
       

bonus roadmap

These updates will ONLY be if there's time.

1. v1.1 the joke-date
   
   1. hides several easter egg endings with specific triggers throughout the game.
2. v1.2 Bonus loop, life as adults
   
   1. Will only be accessible with certain endings, an update with the graduated characters at university and one last loop to kill, blackmail, or talk down a rival.
      

now for the last bit of news, the estimated launch of v.06!

I'm having a little bit of trouble with blood effects sticking to actors in KP (There's a pretty gruesome fate in store for Chyoi should you opt to do so) and some lingering issues with persistent flags.

 so I have a tentative release date for Saturday August 5th but if things don't go according to plan the latest date to expect v.06 *should* be August 12th

Version .06 will include;

• New consequences based on your choices, certain characters will not respond so favorably to your killing spree if you've been on one.
  
• Full access to Chyoi's story (blackmail, murder, and pacifist) 
• a sneak peak at Eri's story with her introductory segment.
