Hey gang,

Sorry this update is getting to you all a bit late. Wanted to get this out Sunday, but ran into some time problems. But I want to make sure I'm updating you all n the project at least once aa week, so let's go over things:

So I worked a bit more on RenaCatch. Impmon is going to have a few animations for the start and end of the mini-game and  depending on how you do  throughout. So I worked a bit on the start animation he has where he kicks the softball machine to get the mini-game started. I also added some more flair to the ball launch animation to give it more impact. I'll leave both below.

There will be more anims Impmon has depending on how well you catch the balls. So when it's  a perfect catch he'll get excited and when you miss he'll laugh. 

 Other than that I've been working on the cum scenes for the anal scene. I didn't like how the "cum in" animation was going to I'm kind of restarting it. I still have some Patreon work, so I might have to  put this aside for a bit, but I'll still try to work on it when I can. 

But mainly I took some time to try and figure out what I wanted the update to contain. I want this update to be the game's main play loop, or rather, I want it to contain all the basic features need to have a very basic version of the game. Basically, I want to make a strong foundation for the game so I can build onto it more easily in the future.  So  I broke it down into sections and wanted to share the general outline with you all:

Main features to be implemented:

Day system, feeding Rena, stat system based on how you feed Rena (happiness, hunger decrease, weight gain), training Rena (Rena Catch), stats based on training results, (Attack, Defense, Mind, Speed) , loving Rena (Anal scene),  happiness stat affected by how often you love Rena and  other actions, Resting  mechanic, stamina for each day that can be restored by resting, stats screen the show the previously mentioned stats,  beat-em-up portion of the game (Digi-City ransom or DCR), training room for DCR, One Level for DCR with 1 enemy type, earning money from DCR, Shop implementation for buying more food, and saving and exiting the game. 

- Sex Scenes: I want the anal scene to be complete. That is, have the idle, slow, medium, fast, very fast, climax in, climax out, after climax in, after climax out, and a detailed background with some moving parts. The anal scene should serve as the base of how the rest of the sex scenes will play out. 

- Menu UI: I've done all the home menu buttons for the most part. But there's still a bit of work to do for the sex scene buttons as well as the mini game buttons.  For both the Sex and Mini-game menu buttons, there will be a "to hover", "hovering idle", "clicked", and a "Un-hover" animation. For the anal button, I've already done the to hover, hover idle, and the un-hover anims, so I just need to do the clicked anim and that'll be it for that button. Then I'll replicate the process for the mini-game button for Rena Catch as well.

- Feeding system: I'll also need to implement the feeding system where you'll be able to select food from your inventory and give it to Rena. There will be a generic eating animation that will be inspired by both the eating animation for the old Digivice toys and the eating animations from various Vanillaware games. That way, I won't need to make an animation for every type of food. I plan to have 4 food types for the demo, meat, sushi, salad, and ice cream. Each one will have an amount it decreases hunger by, increases happiness, and increase weight gain by. Originally I had planned for the weight gain to change Rena's sprites on the home menu, but I will leave that to when the game is in a more complete state. So for now, all it will do is affect Rena's stats a bit. 

-Mini-games: The mini-game for the demo will be Rena-Catch since I've been working on it the most. I still need to implement the score system, the overall presentation, and some extra anims and their implementation, as well as the UI and it's implementation as well. I'll also probably tweak the core gameplay just to make sure the game isn't too hard or too easy. All also probably do some bigger sprites that will show depending on the score you get at the end as well. 

- Fight/ Beat-'em up: This section will take a while, but it's going to be a big part of the game, so I want to start working on it in the game's early phases so I can change it when needed. There will be a training stage, which will be a room where you can practice combos and other things of that matter. hen there will be a test stage containing enemies that will more accurately show how the game will be. For example, enemies will spawn, drop money, and there will be an objective to reach the end of the stage.  There will also be two assists, Impmon, and Angewomon that you'll be able to use as well. there will be 1 enemy type just to test things at the start, then I'll expand it as development goes on. 

- Shop: I'll also be implementing a shop where you can buy items. Currently, you'll just be able to buy new food, but as most things here I'll expand it as the game goes on. 

-Exiting a nd saving: I'll also need to include a save system for when you want to exit the game as well. It'll probably be a good idea to be able to save without having to fully exit the game as well. I'll also look into auto-save options as well.

- Day system: The game will also revolve around a day system. So each day Rena will have 3 bars of time/ stamina that you can use on training, loving, or any other activity in the game. Resting will allow you to end a day early while also refilling  the 3 bars you have. 

So that's the plan currently. Things are still subject to change, but this should give me some clarity for thee project goin forward. With all the work on have on Patreon currently, it might take a while to get through all the content I have planned, but I'll do my best to consistently work on it and have weekly updates for you all. Thank you all the support so far and I'll do my best to make something cool for you!
