Summer Stolen Paradise

Latest Changelog

v0.34 – v1.35 Fix
Spoiler
Story.
-> Storyline concludes Peach Garden visit and added 3 new animations.
-> One new long recollection with one new H scene (2 variations).
-> Outside of H stuff, new sprites and art.
Mechanics
Updated Phone Mechanics, New UI/UX menu. As of v034(v1.30) the phone jankiness is reduced.
What the new Phone menu does:
In certain scenes, the menu changes to imply something..this are mostly animated.
Can you spot the difference? I don’t see anything different except the rice ball missing a grain.
Moving on,
Lockscreen mechanic now exists where a lockscreen will jumpscare when opening the phone at the right moments, it’s short and you’ll miss it if you blink but it exists to notify you to check the “Lockscreen” option. It’s not the only thing that signals to you so don’t worry too much about it.
Current variations: 3 fully animated ones.
A phone status will pop up at the top right, indicating that there might be something fishy with the phone.
This does not apply for the Masaru route, that’ll take me an entire month to do and with how far the route is (some might even say completed), it’ll be better to introduce new positions in this one first.
Kitchen:
Hot girlfriend aside, ever wanted to cook a 5 star meal with the tap of a button? Well now you can! Introducing the wholesome, slice of life, completely innocent cooking segment of the game. Chop, boil, wash and do everything you can do in other games but worse because everything here looks like it was drawn by a monkey in MS paint!
What’s summer love without cooking with your girlfriend, am I right?
My promotional attempt lasted a whole 2 paragraphs.
But anyway, this isn’t a complex minigame or a minigame at all really but is one of those moments where the player simply should not just be staring at the screen. New mechanic with a bunch of new animations. Designed for the nature of this game.
Bartending:
Remember how Math and Multiple choice questions made up Masaru’s Minigame? Well, now you get Pictorial and also Multiple choice questions!
Juggle, mix, spray a grand total of 3 different types of alcohol in this minigame! The beach bar now really does feel like a bar instead of a restaurant. Show off your bartending skills by mixing a dangerously huge dose of alcohol that’ll never ever victimize your customers. All the while your hot girlfriend admires your bartending prowess from a window near you.
As of this update, alcohol types are color coded. Hint: Red=Vodka. Brown/Orange=Rum. Silver=Gin. Simplified to reduce the need for memorisation.
Current bartending minigame variety and animations: 2 (stage 1) 3(stage 2) 2(stage 3).
Around 5-6 animations that has been, to the best of my ability, handrawn and crafted for your enjoyment.
New Character Sprites, New Side CharactersSave your customers from a boring summer!
The alcohol infused environment of the Beach Bar meant a lovely couple like the one above simply can’t keep their passion, and their hands, off each other
New side characters incorporated into the story with their own pixel art scenes. Total number of pixel animations for New Side character 1: 3. New Side Character 2: 2(if you count variation).
Recollection Room
Done and up as of this version.
Considering how we’re still some distance away from the point of no return, its insane how there’s still no penetration. If you told me that a h game have you sink 7 hours into a game without any actual penetration scene, I won’t have played it. Maybe. Oh my god I’m going to go into a developer crisis right about now.
Maybe. I don’t care as much anymore since I think there’s a bunch of content to sort of justify that and if anything, slow burn lovers and build up lovers will adore this. I hope you have so far.
Recollection room isn’t just something you do in under an hour, it took me a day since the backlog is huge but hey, I pushed it off my back long enough that now’s a good time as any.
Grab your latest version with recollection room here and for the save files, please refer to this post.
Bugfix log:
Fixed missing sound files, I don’t know how that happened but there shouldn’t be any missing sounds now.
Fixed Honda(drunk old guy) not acknowledging your inventory of Olive oil and seashells.
Fixed sound continues even after new NPCs faint.
Mentioned above, color coded the drinks.
Fixed black spots/squares scenarios.
Fixed Peach Garden immovability bug that happens on certain occasions.
Added a speech bubble prompt for Rimi’s first encounter as a way to visually direct player.
No gamebreaking bugs, at least for all the content in beach route (for masaru, see comment above). Any minor or annoyance bugs will be fixed once reported over time. Post will be updated over time if its major bugs but there won’t be any notification so as to not disrupt your peaceful days counting down when world war 3 will begin.
Thank you for your support, please, stay with me just a little longer before the coaster reaches the top and all brakes brake loose into adrenaline. Ahahaha.
Or maybe it’ll plummet into a disaster, who’s to say.
Thank you for your support so far, truly.
