Phoenixes [v0.12.0.1 Ch2] [NoMeme]

v12 update took almost as long to complete as v11. While the amount of content in v12 is just as large, we actually expected to finish it in a noticeably shorter time, but unfortunately, we didn’t meet that goal.

We had a very tough time in this update cycle. Too many setbacks and unexpected issues disrupted our plans again and again. I’ll be posting a detailed explanation in a few days. But don’t worry, these hiccups didn’t impact the quality of v12 in any way. This update is just as packed with content as any other, featuring 900+ new images and animated scenes. Cassy, Heather, Osonia, Sorring, and Fuying will have new scenes.

Now, let’s take a look at what we have for you in this update:

New Map and UI Enhancements
We’ve never been satisfied with the background map in the game. The background map is the image people see the most, but our previous map was just too rough and ugly. After reworking the free-roaming system in v11, we’re bringing a brand-new city map background in v12, along with further UI improvements, like redesigned the New Event bubble.
The free-roaming screen now looks completely different from what it was in v10. We’re happy to have refreshed the game’s look in two updates.
Please note that with the new map, the layout of locations has also changed a bit from before.

General improvements
Old save files from before v11 (the ones that couldn’t be loaded or deleted in v11) will no longer be in your save menu.
The Android version will no longer experience long freezes when opening the save menu for the first time.
Cassy’s story
Let’s talk about Cassy.
I know a lot of people like her, but honestly, I made some big mistakes when designing this character. To make her more unique, I gave her traits like “no emotions ” and “mechanical arms,” but these traits ended up becoming barriers to her story development. How is a robot with no emotions supposed to fall in love with a human? As a robot, she doesn’t even have the capacity to love, or at least not in the way you love her. And she can’t get horny like the other girls, even if she acts horny, she’s faking it. This kind of character might work in a sweet, PG12 romance story, but she doesn’t really have her position in an adult game.
Another issue is that her background is extremely shallow. She’s from a mysterious Wakanda-like country, with no childhood, no growth, no past. And it’s hard for me to give her those things because she’s a robot.
So, she’s a character with a weak backstory and very limited room for development… I’ve designed a character like this before, which was Rachel from VIRTUES. And that girl ended up with a story that was abandoned halfway. But this time, I don’t want Cassy’s story to hit a dead end too. I know I did a mistake and this time I will do everything to set things back on the right track again.
In this update, I spent a great amount of time developing her story, tried to deepen her character, make up for my past mistake, and find a somewhat plausible way for her to have emotions or love
I’m not sure if everyone will like the way her story is heading, but I’ve done everything I can within my abilities. I hope it’s not too late to make things right, and I hope you’ll enjoy her scenes and look forward to her future change.

The elven sisters
Another big thing of this update is that your harem is finally becoming a reality. Osonia will officially become your girlfriend, and both she and Sorring will happily accept the fact that they have to share you and your love from now on. A good start, right?~
You’ll be able to raise their harem acceptance level to 10 and unlock new harem events for them.
