We’re working incredibly hard on what will be our second-to-last update of the year. And, as tradition demands, it will also be the biggest update of the year - which means things are getting pretty intense behind the scenes!

That said, we have some good news... and some bad news.

Let's start with the bad news.

It's likely that Version 1.0 will be released a few days after Halloween.

As we've mentioned before, this update requires significantly more work than usual. In fact, the workload became so large that we had to bring in external animators and artists to help us with backgrounds, objects, scenes, and other assets, allowing our core artists to focus entirely on the update itself.

Now for the good news!

If everything goes according to plan, Version 1.0 will feature 7 spicy scenes!

Yes, you read that right: SEVEN scenes in a single update.

That's a huge amount of content for one update, but we're putting everything we have into making it happen. We already have 4 scenes completely finished, so if everything continues according to plan, we're aiming to complete 3 more.

And honestly, that's the main reason the update might be delayed.

But we promise it shouldn't be more than a few days.

As you can see in the image accompanying this post, one of those scenes will feature our voluptuous waifu Jessie!

And that's just part of what Version 1.0 has in store:

• 7 spicy scenes
• A brand-new minigame
• An entirely new area to explore
• Possibly a brand-new character who wasn't requested by a Patreon supporter
• New challenges
• New conquests
• And, basically, the fate of almost the entire city will be in your hands!

We'll have more updates for you soon.

Sorry if we've been a little quiet lately, but right now it's truly all hands on deck to get Version 1.0 released as quickly as possible - and, of course, as bug-free as possible.

Thank you all for your patience, and especially to our Patreon supporters for continuing to support the development of High School Days.

We couldn't do this without you!
