That wraps up what’s been included in Part 1!

For Part 2, we’ve got some scenes left to complete with the girls, plus a special scene tied to your comments on OnlyStan. And, of course, the second match!

New Feature Coming in Part 2: The Talent Tree! Once you reach 10 points in a stat (Buddy, Education, Sport, or Temperament), you’ll unlock the talent tree for that stat. You’ll then be able to choose one talent from the available options, with additional talents becoming available every 5 points.

These talents will open up new possibilities in certain scenes or challenges, creating unique variations depending on the talents you use.

For example: during a match, if you’ve unlocked the Resistance talent in the Sport category, you’ll be able to keep going even after a rough tackle. While others might lose the ball, you’ll stay on your feet and continue the action.

That’s the kind of gameplay depth we’re aiming for!

Let us know what you think—we’d love to hear your feedback!

Alright, I’ll leave it here for now—there’s still a lot of work to do, and the Visual Novel Festival is just around the corner. We’d love for you to have the episode ready by then!

Have a great weekend, everyone!
