0.7.1 is now released!

Hey everyone, hope you are all having a good week so far. I know mine has been hectic. This has been a busy summer for my personal life and it's getting busier every week. That being said, I am working on Persona H every minute I have available to do so,  and it's always fun :D

In this update, there are many things changed and added. The biggest additions are : Naoto being added into the game officiall, Okina city getting an expansion, Chagall Cafe being added and Naoto's Detective Agency being added.

Notable scenes added are a case to solve with Naoto and friends, which spans across mutliple scenes. A new store clerk in the form of the persona Undine at Chagall Cafe. A newly updated sex scene for Chie, which was voted on at the discord server. Lastly there were some secret things added here or there for observers to find.

So far the Naoto updates have beena  lot of fun! My main goal is to try and optimize and refine as much as I can during these updates so that the game becomes more stable. I really want to focus back on the previous mecahnics already in the game, and after Naoto is done I will be doing that. 

I feel good knowing the core girls are in the game, and beleive me I have a TON more to add, but I now that these girls are in I want to make sure all the mechanics work for each one. I also want the experiences to feel unique for each girl.

Anyway, before I ramble on too much, here is the dev notes:

Alright, now that those are done. I want to quickly say how awesome you all are. On the discord, on here, on other sites too or even in private chats/emails. There are a lot of you out there that keep telling me not to burn out, and also how much you are enjoying the game. Please know that these comments are amazing and I really take them to heart. Development isn't always easy, and sometimes you get stuck in your head or tunnel vision on a specific problem. All of your comments help me get out of a funk, or even inspire new creative thoughts for the game.

So thank you all, I really appreciate you. At the end of the day, I wanted to make an adult persona game that I would want to play. I'm really happy to know I wasn't alone in that!

Alright, thats all for now.

Hope you all have an awesome week! Talk to you again soon.

Thanks,
