Yay! Good job, sleepykitten.
Just living up to my name. :mrgreen:

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...)

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 ? :oops:

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 8)

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 :lol: the yuri content I think will be ready in January/February.
