Hello everyone! I'm currently working on Chapter 3 and have a few things to talk about:

Your responses to the survey have been really helpful and have given me a lot to think about! It seems like a lot of you would be interested in a NSFW DLC (almost 50% so far), but almost 60%  would prefer to have free SFW CGs! Looking at some invidividual responses I can see even people who'd like to see the NSFW content would still like some SFW CGs.

So I've made a decision: I will include both free SFW CGs and NSFW DLC CGs. Each love interest will have 2 of each (so there'll be 8 SFW CGs and 8 NSFW CGs in total) and they'll be split across Chapter 3 and 4 (the last remaining chapters). This means development will take a bit longer (Chapter 3 is already getting long, I'm 38k words into the script and there's a lot to go) but I hope this will make the game satisfying for everyone :)
The survey is still open so feel free to take it if you haven't already. It's been really insightful so far! Thank you to everyone who's taken it.
For now my plan for updates is: Chapter 3 free version only, then Chapter 4 free version and a separate download for the full game+DLC. Ideally I'd like to release the DLC at the same time as the free version of Chapter 4, but I'll see how that goes!

I've also done some art for games submitted to this year's Otome jam! Check out Apartment n.9, You Can't Solo a Dragon and Celestia. Also check out all the other jam games, everyone worked really hard! It's amazing to see what everyone accomplished in just two months.

Lastly: The Hero's Journey now has over a thousand downloads! Thank you so much for being interested in my game and following its development. I'm so grateful for all the lovely comments I've gotten and how much you guys like my characters and story, and I hope you'll enjoy the content that's yet to come!
