Welcome everyone to update 0.2.11! This one was a doozy, and it took a lot of time and effot. Excited to show it off, but please bare with me as I list off my notes of changes for you all.

Thanks again to all Patrons for making this happen, and for future updates down the road of which I'm already hard at work on.

Update 0.2.11 This update focuses on Gameplay and Quality of life balances, I tried my best to play the game objectively and think about the improvements I would like to see, plus look at holes in the game that could be filled with new gameplay.

Firs off, let's talk about the new skills available:

New Skills

Gardening

There is a new gardening mini-game that becomes Haru's introduction into the game. It's a decently simple game, but can be fun to keep track of your crops aas you get up in the morning to water them. Or when you get to harvest a bunch of them, and sell them to junes. It's surprisingly fun, especially once you get all 8 garden plots and watch your garden grow.

I plan to implement more on this as I update, but for now It has Potatos Carrots Cabbage Pumpkin and Watermelon

Massages

Finally I was able ot give Yu that job at Amagi Inn again, this time though you give massages instead of cleaning. I find this more entertaiinng and of course leads as an opportunity for some interesting scenes down the road. 

For now, it's mostly story implemented, only allowing you to service Ann for some quick cash, adn go through a tutorial with Yukiko. This is because in a future update, I want to tie the progression between massages with Yukiko's affection. One upgraded, you will have more options for massages like thighs, breasts and so on.

Hacking

Hacking is, of course, Futaba's minigame. It's a very simply pac-man esque sort of game I designed after remembering a very random game from my childhood called "Math for the real world". The hacking minigame is still very basic for the moment, but it too will progress with Futabas storyline and I also plan for it to introduce a new charcater into the game.

Can you guess who that would be?

Quality of life balances

There are a lot to go over, but mostly the balances have to do with money and how it's handled in the game.

First off, the Junes stuff is balanced now so buying and selling makes more sense. You can easily purchase items and sell items back to the store at will. This includes the changes to the Refining process, which allow you to easily go to Daidara and refine 5x the ore to make 1 ingot of that ore. you can then sell that refined ingot to Junes for more money, this works well as a trade off.

Little balances that add more to the game are allowing the player to sleep now when they are at low energy, instead of waiting until nightime. Also, I added small cahrges to things, like the bus which now costs $2. Yet, I also added a new way to make cash with Massages, Hacking and even running on the treadmill!

Computer

To unlock futaba, and a host of new features, you will need to purchase the power unit from the electronics shop. This allows you to check out the new gallery, which if you are on my Patreon then you will have seen some of these photo crop up recently. Things like selfies now can be unlocked through storyline, or through hidden secrets in-game.

This will act as a simple collection sorter for you to return and view what you have unlocked, more will be implemented in the future like Cheat Codes which will unlock later as well.

Seasons

The game now runs a day of the month check,  which in turn creates Seasons. There aren't many changes in season yet, but the mine does close for the winter. Crops grow in certain seasons and nothing grows in winter.

This feature has larger plans in the future, and I wanted to create the building blocks for it now. So it's here and it functions properly for the time being.

Cleanliness

There is a cleanliness feature now that I brought over from Hinomori Nights. After working in the mines, you will get dirty. This in turn makes girls not want to talk to you, so you will need to clean up. You can now purcase soap at junes for this, which brings me to the next point

Consumable Items

Now you can consume the items in your inventory. So if you are getting tired, you can eat food and regain that energy. You also can use the soap to clean yourself.

Amagi Inn Hot Springs

The hot springs now lets you rest and bathe once a day, which replenishes your energy as well as cleans your body.

Amagi Inn Secret Room

The secret room pasword is going to be posted on the Patreon now for Patrons only, this will allow them to see behind the door, which at the moment offer not much but a sneak peek at what I will do with this.

More Storyline

I have beefed up the storyline with lots of little scenes that play. Not only when you progress with a girl, but also at random times throughout the day you will notice scenes between the characters now. 

Alright, my fingers are getting tired. That's what I can think of off the top of my head, here are my dev notes which are more thorough but harder to understand!
