Learn The Heart v0.2.2

Hello everyone! Here are the new added things and changes to Learn The Heart v0.2.2

Introducing an Achievement System
Added an achievement system with 18 achievements implemented as of now for you to unlock. What I wanted in an achievement was to include gameplay effects when unlocking it, and so I made it happen.

An example is when you get the "Promotion" achievement working in the general store and get more points playing the minigame. Some achievements are toggleable if you want that achievement benefit to not work or vice versa. An example is when clicking the "Cheating!? my man" achievement, if you want to activate cheats in the game or not.

I made sure that your old save file will still get the achievement, so you don't have to restart the game all over again. Some achievements, though, like bonk gopher 100 times, will not unlock in your old save file since the old save does not record that. If you want to get that achievement, you have to earn it in the new version.

Introducing H-mode Perspective
Just when the game released as version 0.1.0, I already had a lot of ideas on what to implement in the game. One of the ideas was the ability to get a closer look at the scene. It was an ambitious idea, and after reviewing how good my pixel art was then, it wasn’t good, so I had to cancel the idea. One day, my friend reminded me of that idea again. I feel confident in my pixel art, so I gave it a shot. With that, I am very happy with the result of the pixel art, and I hope you guys will like it too. Introducing H-mode perspective.

H-mode perspective is the new additional option in H-mode. It has double the frames of the current position and has three states: movement, climax, and rest.

Mall Re-viewed
During the development of the mall location, I've wanted to try making it more of a top-down view than an internal view and see how people react. Turns out no one really complained about it, but I have to stick with how the game is viewed from the very first time it's made, which is an internal view. The mall view has been changed from top-down to internal.

H-Dialogue
I was playing this overly complicated, difficult, top-down sandbox JRPG game and actually enjoying it. What surprises me is that the game actually had romance and intimacy mechanics. For some reason, I actually liked how the mechanic worked, even though there weren't really any sprite animations and it was just a pink wallpaper. It turns out it was just dialogue, so I added dialogue in Intimacy and before starting the h-scene. This way, partners can display more of their attitude, have their say about the situation, and display their hidden attitudes as well. Also, partners now act shy when they get called to come over only in the house.

Web players
For players who play the game on the web, whether it is Newgrounds or Itch. As you notice, whenever I update the game, all your progress will be lost, and you will have to start all over again. The new update will now save your progress every time I upload a new version, so you don't have to start all over again.

In the next update, I will add two new areas: another mechanic called moods and other stuff if I have the time.

If you want to help this game grow and make me implement more things in the game, consider supporting me so I can buy food.

Lastly, if you encounter any bugs or glitches, please report them here or in my discord so I can immediately fix them. Thank you.
