addedOne of the major feedback we received from the demo was the lack of male romanceable options. Honestly, we didn’t expect a demand for more male love interests (I mean, why would we when we already have Johnny Yong Bosch as Harry?!? šŸ˜‚). But after seeing the game being played by otome players — which was a pleasant surprise — we went back to the drawing board to find a way to address this without creating an entirely new character and delaying the game’s release.
addedThat said, we revisited Connor’s route and tweaked it to allow for a romance path (it was originally written to be purely platonic). We added multiple if-else conditions to existing scenes and wrote a dedicated romance ending. We're happy to report that all necessary changes to his route are completed!

Dear Mood Confectioners,

🌹 A new love blossoms in High Times! 🌹

One of the major feedback we received from the demo was the lack of male romanceable options. Honestly, we didn’t expect a demand for more male love interests (I mean, why would we when we already have Johnny Yong Bosch as Harry?!? šŸ˜‚). But after seeing the game being played by otome players — which was a pleasant surprise — we went back to the drawing board to find a way to address this without creating an entirely new character and delaying the game’s release.

Turns out the answer was right in front of us, and some of you pointed this out as well.

Connor.

Yup, your best bud is now a romanceable character. The only romanceable character who is not an ex at that.

That said, we revisited Connor’s route and tweaked it to allow for a romance path (it was originally written to be purely platonic). We added multiple if-else conditions to existing scenes and wrote a dedicated romance ending. We're happy to report that all necessary changes to his route are completed!

We hope you like our surprise!ā—(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) ā—œā™” (Belated) Happy Valentine's Day! ā™„ļø
