My findings as of now

💀 Enter if you dare... 💜🔊 Beware the haunting whispers of Lavender Town. These posters hold secrets that echo the eerie tones of the infamous LavenderTownSyndrome. Can you handle the chills? Or will the melody drive you to the edge? 👁️🌀 Listen closely... but not too close.

Funeral Toll is still being worked on!

So, I am actually getting close to graduation and unemployment so I would keep your hopes up for more updates. However I would like to give you all a sneak peak about features that will be added into the game. Feature creep is a problem but I am managing!

More information about Date Time❤️!

What is Date Time❤️?  

Date Time is a Trilogy of games, which includes Enhanced versions of both Melissa❤️ & Morris❤️ with additional endings, new secrets & enhanced cutscenes! 

As... well as one last additional chapter... Anna❤️.

Anna❤️ will be a very large game that surrounds around the 3rd & final "date" of the Date Time series.  

But not just that, Melissa & Morris will return in this newest chapter, to finish their arcs, to finally meet each other again, and the three will converge to yet ANOTHER LUCKY PLAYER at the Library.

YOU CAN ADD IT TO YOUR WISHLIST ON STEAM HERE!

What will you do with the older itch.io titles?

The original Melissa❤️ & Morris❤️ will continue to exist for free on itch.io.  More information will be coming in as this develops.

There will still be updates to the CLASSIC VERSIONS of these Date Time chapters, stay tuned!

Where will Date Time❤️ be available?

Date Time❤️ will be available on both Steam & Itch.io.  An Itch.io page will be created as soon as the Demo is released.

What will be in the Date Time❤️ demo?

The Date Time❤️ Demo will contain Melissa❤️ Enhanced, as well as the first part of Anna.  

There is a special ending in the new Melissa❤️ Enhanced for people who have already played through the Classic story.  Stay tuned!

When will the demo be released?

I hope to get it released by Mid-May.

What Platforms will Date Time❤️ be available for?

At this time, Date Time❤️ will be available for Windows, as well as Linux & Mac.  An Android version may be developed shortly after release on desktop.

What Platforms will the Demo be on?

Most definitely Windows, but I will try to export Mac & Linux versions shortly after.

Why won't there be a Web Version of the Demo for Date Time❤️?

After quite a few months testing and consulting with other game developers, I found that the new rendering system I will be implementing necessary for the higher quality (and far more optimized) animation for Date Time❤️ is simply not compatible with a web version.  

I apologize for the inconvenience.

When Will Date Time❤️, the full game be released?

I hope to get you a general release date sometime soon.  

PLEASE KEEP IN CONTACT!

While I will try to post more on these devlogs, I also will be posting on Tumblr & Twitter whenever new information comes out about the game.  

Please keep in contact, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on these platforms!

I'm really into atompunk and retro futurism vibes atm. These Japanese magazine covers from the 1960s are amazing - found here on this blog from 2013!

I HAVE HAD A REALIZATION!

So as we know the person who is the voice actor for the voice mail is Alex kister (creator of Mandela catalouge) so far when you call the phone number from the missing poster nothing happens… HOWEVER this is where may 3rd comes into play! What if we have to wait until may 3rd for the phone call to work?! It is a possibility! If not that then perhaps something else will happen on may 3rd!

Happy hunting gen losers!

Oh also here’s another fun Easter egg! The person who composed the soundtrack for generation loss is the same person who made the dialtown OST!

Step into the darkness… 🌑 These limited edition *Sonic.exe* posters bring the nightmare to life. Can you feel his eyes watching you? 🌀💀 Embrace the glitch or be consumed by it. 🖤

(A Late) Screenshot Saturday!

Hello,

I am, in fact, alive. Last semester incredibly sucked and consumed my life force. However over break I have been busy working on my game and basically doing sprite work, as well as sound design. It's a combination of making 4 different sprites for 8 directions that an enemy can face. Then it requires a 4 frame attack animation, a single frame hurt animation, and a 4 frame death animation. I think the game is genuinely getting close to a point where I could consider releasing a demo or playable teaser.

Also pronouns.

Have some screenshots and be safe!

Date Time❤️: Melissa❤️, Morris❤️, Anna❤️

Have you heard?  They just bought a hi-tech 8-BIT COMPUTER at the library!

Not just that, they installed one of those computer games.  What are they called?  

I think they call it a "Dating Simulation!"

ADD IT ON YOUR WISHLIST ON STEAM!!!

Date Time❤️ is a trilogy of three chapters, each bigger than the last: 

Melissa❤️, she's a sweetheart of a girl! A smart woman into science and art! You may be surprised how DEEP her knowledge GOES!

Morris❤️, a pouty mechanic who is secretly into poetry. Get close enough, you may find out where his TRUE TASTES lie!

It contains ENHANCED versions of Melissa❤️ and Morris❤️ with new visuals, endings and secrets.

But also, it will contain one final date...

Meet Anna❤️, she's a sporty, popular, go-getter of a girl.  She's done it all.  Kickboxing, Tennis, mountain climbing... but there's one thing she's never been able to take on and that is... Love!

Don't get TOO excited though, she's not just looking for ANYBODY!  If you wanna keep up with her, you got to show how ACTIVE and ENERGETIC you are.  Play your cards right, and you'll be part of her plan... ❤️OF SMOOCHING❤️ I mean.

Anna❤️ won't be alone in this journey.  Melissa❤️ and Morris❤️ will be making a return in the Anna❤️ chapter.  So if you've been missing your faves, don't worry!

The game is still under development.  This will be an incredibly large project to bring to conclusion this retro-horror dating sim... celebrating the era of early personal computing.

I want to thank everyone for the support and encouragement these last few months during the development and release of the original Melissa❤️ & Morris❤️.  I hope you stick around for this larger project.  

Feel free to wishlist it on Steam if you haven't.  

And please let me know if there's anything you are hoping to happen in this definitive version of the series!
