Learn The Heart v0.3.3

Hello everyone! Here are the new added things and changes to Learn The Heart v0.3.3

I initially planned to release this update tomorrow, but I've decided to launch it a day early. This decision allows me to take a well-deserved rest and prepare for New Year celebrations.

Introduction reworked

The introduction scene has been reworked and now starts with a date with Mary. Since the game revolves around dating, it makes sense to begin with a date tutorial. This tutorial will teach players how dating works and how to use the inventory, gifting, etc. I regret not implementing this sooner, as I was unaware that new players were confused about what to do to progress in the game.

New dating area Docks

You can now bring your date to the docks and go fishing. Partners also have dialogues while aboard the fishing boat. When you successfully catch a fish, it will increase the date meter depending on the tier of fish you caught. This feature combines both dating and earning money at the same time, unlike other locations. However, you can't just fish all the time while your date is there just to farm money; partners will react if you fish too much, and it will decrease the date meter.

Improvements and QOL

When initiating a scene, a fade-in and fade-out will now trigger to enhance the experience. Moreover, the portraits have been changed from head to half-body sprites. Also added a day indicator.

The item shop will now display the type of each item, allowing you to make an informed decision before attempting to purchase, rather than having to buy it first just to find out its item type.

The gallery UI has been improved; previously, it was very confusing to navigate.

Next Update

In my opinion, the photo mode was the best-implemented feature in the game, as it empowers player creativity by enabling them to capture the scenes they want. Now, imagine taking player creativity to new heights. I won't reveal the specifics of the next update at this moment. Instead, I'll share a list of improvements addressing this issue once the implementation is complete.

-You have a lot of money in game
-Object animation
-Non Stationary object

If you're wondering why I haven't made events like Christmas or Halloween in the game, it's because I want to prioritize working on the core gameplay. I want to address issues first before adding this kind of content.

Thank you for playing and supporting this game. Your feedback is very important, whether it is positive or not. It really helps to read all your concerns, problems, and suggestions about the game so I can make it better. 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.
