Chapter 7 Released

I’m very happy to release chapter 7, this is a pivotal moment in the main story that allows the player to make an important decision regarding the girls.
At this stage in development I am prioritising the progression of the main narrative. This means there are some potholes left behind that will be filled in in due time. For example, there are some lewd scenes in chapter 6 not implemented yet (they’ve not been forgotten about!) and in this chapter the sprite outfits aren’t all in theme with the setting. So I’m balancing making these ‘holes’ as unnoticeable as possible to ensure player experience is a good one while also steaming forward with the meat and bones of the story.
From here on out the focus of the narrative narrows onto your relationship choice, this will allow for a more intimate experience. Currently you need 4 relationship points or higher with a girl to proceed. If this turns out to be too restrictive for players, I may reduce it to 3.
With that said, I hope you enjoy chapter 7! There’s lots to do here and a chance to see the girls in a new environment. After this chapter 8 will focus on the route you selected and returning to life back on the HMS Yuritopia.
The next update will be a smaller one where I plan to fill in the aforementioned missing lewd scenes for chapter 6.
Thanks for playing!

Heyo Cross, glad to see you're still actively developing SS. Gotta say I respect the decision to make this a monogamy-focused game, most people go the harem route to avoid stepping on toes, but it does feel more special to devote yourself to one character imo (plus, what are multiple love interests there for if not multiple playthroughs, eh?). Looking forward to seeing how the plot develops from here on out.
Thank you for your comment, following in the tradition of these sort of games I plan to have a ‘harem ending’ as either a secret ending or a bonus for fun. That’ll come much later though and the primary focus of the story is on individual relationships. Each girl will have their own separate narrative and scenes.
Sounds similar to My Pervy Poltergeist's development, really damn good VN that's also his first project. Would heartily recommend checking it out if you haven't already, it jumped pretty quickly towards the top of my personal list of favorites after I found it last December. In any case, best of luck to you pal, you've got a solid foundation here so far.
