Hello,

I hope everyone is doing well? As for me, I've started working on Saki's story. It's coming along well so far. It's just the beginning though. However, before going all out, I'd like to work on something like an intermediate version, with no new content, but with improvements to what already exists. 

 After the last release, I received a lot of positive feedback, for which I'm very grateful, but also a few complaints. As much as I want to please everyone, I can't agree on everything, accepting the change some people want would go directly against the core idea of this game. However, there are many things I can work with. So here's what I'll add:  

- A message when you start a new game to explain that there will be four individual routes + a bonus harem ending. I found out it deserve some explanation, as everyone didn’t understand what the game is supposed to be. I suppose I could have explained things better. I think there’s also the fact that everyone isn’t familiar with the concept. Anyway, it's better to have a clear idea of what this game is from the start... So here we go. 

- When you start a new game, a way to jump directly to the choice you have in front of the gate created by Chaos, so you can skip the first part of the story. That way, if someone wants to try another route, but didn’t have any previous save to do so, they’ll just have to start a new game and choose the right option. They’ll be able to choose the route they’ll want and go for it immediately.

- Better graphics for chapters 1 and 2 (especially 1). I think I’ve made some progress since the beginning, and… I can't help but cringe when I look at my first renders of this game. So I'm going to make a few improvements. It won't be the whole thing, and it won't be some breathtaking change, as I need to keep an overall coherence with the rest, but the renders I consider to be really bad will be improved.

- Grammar correction for chapters 1 to 4. I had help for a while on this side, with someone helping me to correct grammatical errors. But the priority has always been the arrival of the new chapters. I think it's time to concentrate on the old part. This new version will incorporate the corrections of the first four chapters.

- A few explanations about the Prime Minister's background. This is something many of you have asked for. So here we go. I think the best I can do at this stage will be to add something directly in the game, a special scene where the MC will have different questions he can ask. It will probably be an optional scene, those who want to know more will be able to choose the question they want, those who aren't interested will be able to skip the whole thing. I don't know yet how this scene will be integrated, maybe in chapter 4, maybe with the second part of Melope's story... I’m still hesitating.

- And finally… what you guys want…?

I'm going to create a poll, so people can decide what kind of improvements they'd like to see. I'll be suggesting several options, better sex scenes, better build-up for romantic interactions, better fight scenes, more information about the background of this universe, etc.... Feel free to leave a comment if you have a specific idea in mind. I won't say I'll take everything, but as long as it helps improve the game without changing it completely, it could very well be in the poll.

If this method is successful… who knows, I'll probably try to do it again, so even if your idea doesn't make the cut for now, it may appear another time. We’ll see.

That’s all for me, see you!
