I felt the regular kissing sequence from the game wasn’t polished enough and needed some more details. (*ﾟдﾟ*)

Note: Android version of this update, initially released on November 5, had a serious bug and couldn’t be launched, sorry for that. Fixed version (marked as 0.9.15 on Google Play and 0.9.11rev3 in the game’s main menu) was released on November 6.

☆ Girlfriend’s behaviors

While in apartment, girlfriend now can perform several actions (depending on objects available in your room). If you have a desk with PC, she will play a game on PC. If you have an armchair, she will sit on it and read a book. If you have a table and girlfriend is hungry, she will sit at the table.

☆ Ultra wide screen support

In the past, it was possible to play on screens with aspect ratio wider than 18:9 only with fixed 16:9 or 18:9 ratio and black bars on sides covering the rest of the screen. Now all ultra wide screens (19:9, 21:9, etc.) are fully supported without black bars (change aspect ratio to “free” in game settings).

☆ Other additions and improvements

• Apple jam recipe is added to the cooking book.

Update 0.9.8 is released on Steam, Google Play, and the App Store. Free version for Windows and MacOS is also updated.

☆ School grades

Now in addition to skills, you’ll get school grades after completing tasks during classes (Math, Japanese, and P.E.). Grades will accumulate during a week and get reset in the beginning of next week. To check your current grades, interact with chalkboard in the school (near entrance lockers).

Much like skills, grades don’t affect gameplay in current sandbox mode. They will be used in story mode (coming in a future update 1.0)

☆ New framerate settings

• In the past, game FPS (amount of frames shown per second) was always limited to 60. Now this limit is removed, and FPS is controlled by V Sync setting instead (can be enabled/disabled in game settings).
• Enabling V Sync will synchronize game FPS with your display refresh rate. Disabling this setting has no effect on mobile, since both Android and iOS always limit application FPS according to screen refresh rate. Most mobile devices limit FPS to 60, on some older devices it’s limited to 30. A handful of newest and most powerful mobile devices allow 90 or 120hz refresh rate.
• On PC, enabling V Sync will make the game to update frames according to your monitor refresh rate, while disabling it allows the game to utilize all available CPU/GPU resources to run with highest possible FPS. Higher FPS improves quality of game visuals/animations, so it is recommended to disable V Sync on PC (by default it’s enabled). Also, now you can toggle FPS counter on and off in game settings, if you want to check actual FPS rate.
• All game mechanics and animations are updated to make them independent of frame rate.

☆ Other additions and improvements

• Additional dialogues for dating scenes.
• Fixed Ferris Wheel texture error.
• Small improvements for physics of all hairstyles.
• One new hairstyle (single front tail) and two new hair colors (white and sand) are available in the beauty salon.

• New glasses can be bought at Shoujo Mart.
• Fixed a bug that happened if you pushed girlfriend into pool (sometimes she disappeared due to being teleported to wrong map position).
• New dandelion crown can be bought in the Summer Town map.
• Additional interior details in the school first floor.

Update 0.9.7 is published on Steam. Updates for other versions are coming later.

☆ New start menu

Now there is a separate game scene for the main menu and character creation. When you start a new game, now you can customize appearance of your girlfriend instead of getting a random one. For pillow, you can choose one of two available pillow covers.

☆ Other additions and improvements

• Shopping street in the school map is redesigned. Clothes shop is merged with Shoujo Mart. There wasn’t enough content for two separate shops, so now there is one shop with a lot of items, instead of two half-empty stores.
• Caught squirrels now should be released in a new squirrel enclosure in school to get a reward. Walk towards information stand and click on action button to open selling dialogue. Pine cones and seashells can be traded for money in Shoujo Mart.

☆ New dakimakura and item management

In pillow dating mode, pillow cover can be changed using additional covers. Thus far there is one new cover, sold in Akihabara map. Drag and drop it on your pillow.

In pillow dating mode, your pillow now can be moved from “hand” slot into inventory, or stored in the wall closet in your apartment.

All clothes now can be stored on item racks, in cupboards, and in fridges. Since most clothes don’t have 3D models suitable for placing on shelves, they will be shown as small generic cardboard boxes.

Frying pan handle is shortened to allow placing it in all kinds of storages.

A new drawer chest can be bought in “Shoujo Mart” and used for storing clothes.

☆ New photo features

Now you can take up to 5 photos with in-game smartphone and use them as wall posters in your apartment. You can also write something on the back of a photo by placing it in your “hand” equipment slot.

In-game smartphone “gallery” button is removed. All photos are now placed in your inventory (when you click on “save” button after taking a photo).

☆ Other additions and improvements

• More screen resolutions are now available in the drop-down menu on game start (Windows/MacOS version) – including 4K (if your monitor/graphics card allow it).
• Anti-aliasing option in settings now has more values: you can set it to “off”, x2, x4, and x8. x8 will give the best visuals, so it should be set to this value if you don’t have issues with performance. If you use a weaker device and experience lags and low FPS, you can decrease anti-aliasing or turn it off completely – this will significantly improve performance.
• One new hairstyle (long hair with buns) is available in the beauty salon.
• New military helmet can be bought in the clothes store (for cosplay).
• Fixed wrong polygons in corners of eyes (all characters).

• Wednesday : PE
• Thursday : Arithmetic
• Friday : Japanese
• Saturday : PE

Math test consists of 20 tasks with basic operations (addition, subtraction, division, multiplication). Completing a test (one error is allowed) will give you +5 science skill points.

In the school art club you can color pages to increase your arts skill (+5 points if you color a picture with at least 90% accuracy).

☆ UI changes

Girlfriend’s inventory and status buttons were removed from toolbar and in-game smartphone and now are available through new menu in the top-right corner appearing when you talk to your girlfriend.

In pillow dating mode, pillow’s status window appears if you click on pillow in your inventory.

☆ Other additions and improvements

• Fixed a bug that didn’t allow to start a date in pillow dating mode.
• A new setting was added to the main menu and in-game smartphone allowing to disable anti-aliasing. Disabling it will significantly improve performance and increase FPS (about 30% improvement) on weak devices (at expense of game visuals).

☆ Update 0.9.5a (July 9, 2019)

• Fixed a bug with NPC not saying correct messages after some interactions.
• Fixed a bug with incorrect camera angle during date in some cases.

☆ Better hairstyles

All hairstyles in the game have new textures and UV maps, with significantly higher quality.

☆ New piano pieces

Two new piano compositions are added: Flohwalzer and Minuet in G Major (BWV Anhang 114).

The way piano scores are calculated is changed: if you play on the left side (easy) you’ll get lower skill score, and playing on the right side (where you’ll have to play more keys) will give you higher arts skill score. Also, longer pieces will give you higher scores than shorter ones. Relationship score doesn’t depend on piano side and music length, and is affected only by final accuracy.

☆ Screen interaction (date)

If you click anywhere on screen during date, girlfriend will look at the mouse cursor (this feature doesn’t affect gameplay in any way, and was added just for fun).

☆ Other additions and improvements

• Better textures for all baseball caps.
• New “study” omamori can be bought at the Shinto shrine. It affects success of language classes. If you pass a test, omamori will add +1 on top of your science score. If you fail, it will prevent your science score from decreasing.
• New straw hat with an attached sunflower is available as one of random prizes in the water gun mini-game.
• Fixed a bug with cooking skill showing incorrect value.
