Others Phoenixes

Hotfix the Linux executable should be working properly now., fixed the thumbnail bug. it should show up correctly on new saves from now on., music won't cut out in the options menu anymore (finally, lol)., patched a bug that could block gallery scenes from unlocking. if you have this issue, feel free to send me your Persistent file in your user folder (there's a buttton in settings menu to open the folder). i will fix it., tried to fix a crash from spamming enter too fast (hopefully this one works)., v15 - Game data folder migration - 1200+ new images and animated scenes - Molly will become your girlfriend - New girl Theophano and her complete storyline - You can interrogate Alnilam again - New adult content for Heather, Juliana, Sorring, Osonia, Alnilam - New harem scene for Heather&Alnilam and Sorring&Osonia - Numerous bugs fixed v14 Without a doubt, v14 is the biggest update of PHOENIXES so far. This is a story-focused update, featuring over 1,100 new images and 45 animated scenes. For comparison, before v13, the average number of new animated scenes per update ranged from 15 to 20. Under normal circumstances, we focus on advancing 3-4 girls’ stories in an update. One girl will have the most scenes, while the others get fewer. To put it more intuitively, one girl is S-tier in an update, while the other 2-3 are A-tier, B-tier, or C-tier. In v14, Molly, Sorring, and Alnilam’s story got updated, but unlike before, this time all three of them are S-tier. Each of them has plenty of new erotic scenes and significant story progression. As a result, my workload this time was immense, and I faced tremendous pressure. I’ve been completely absent from Discord and Patreon recently, and I’m truly sorry for that. But I had no choice—I had to stay absolutely focused. As the only writer for PHOENIXES, every minute I spend elsewhere delays the game’s update by a minute. Improved the map UI 1000+ new images and animated scenes Sorring will be become a complete succubus Molly will become your girlfriend You can raise Molly's harem acceptance level now New scenes for Heather, Sorring, Molly, Alnilam New harem scene for Heather & Molly Numerous bugs fixed v13 Link

v12 update took almost as long to complete as v11. While the amount of content in v12 is just as large, we actually expected to finish it in a noticeably shorter time, but unfortunately, we didn’t meet that goal. We had a very tough time in this update cycle. Too many setbacks and unexpected issues disrupted our plans again and again. I'll be posting a detailed explanation in a few days. But don't worry, these hiccups didn't impact the quality of v12 in any way. This update is just as packed with content as any other, featuring 900+ new images and animated scenes. Cassy, Heather, Osonia, Sorring, and Fuying will have new scenes. Now, let’s take a look at what we have for you in this update: New Map and UI Enhancements We’ve never been satisfied with the background map in the game. The background map is the image people see the most, but our previous map was just too rough and ugly. After reworking the free-roaming system in v11, we’re bringing a brand-new city map background in v12, along with further UI improvements, like redesigned the New Event bubble. The free-roaming screen now looks completely different from what it was in v10. We’re happy to have refreshed the game’s look in two updates. Please note that with the new map, the layout of locations has also changed a bit from before. General improvements Old save files from before v11 (the ones that couldn’t be loaded or deleted in v11) will no longer be in your save menu. The Android version will no longer experience long freezes when opening the save menu for the first time. Cassy's story Let's talk about Cassy. I know a lot of people like her, but honestly, I made some big mistakes when designing this character. To make her more unique, I gave her traits like "no emotions " and "mechanical arms," but these traits ended up becoming barriers to her story development. How is a robot with no emotions supposed to fall in love with a human? As a robot, she doesn’t even have the capacity to love, or at least not in the way you love her. And she can't get horny like the other girls, even if she acts horny, she's faking it. This kind of character might work in a sweet, PG12 romance story, but she doesn't really have her position in an adult game. Another issue is that her background is extremely shallow. She’s from a mysterious Wakanda-like country, with no childhood, no growth, no past. And it’s hard for me to give her those things because she’s a robot. So, she's a character with a weak backstory and very limited room for development... I’ve designed a character like this before, which was Rachel from VIRTUES. And that girl ended up with a story that was abandoned halfway. But this time, I don’t want Cassy’s story to hit a dead end too. I know I did a mistake and this time I will do everything to set things back on the right track again. In this update, I spent a great amount of time developing her story, tried to deepen her character, make up for my past mistake, and find a somewhat plausible way for her to have emotions or love I’m not sure if everyone will like the way her story is heading, but I’ve done everything I can within my abilities. I hope it’s not too late to make things right, and I hope you’ll enjoy her scenes and look forward to her future change. The elven sisters Another big thing of this update is that your harem is finally becoming a reality. Osonia will officially become your girlfriend, and both she and Sorring will happily accept the fact that they have to share you and your love from now on. A good start, right?~ You’ll be able to raise their harem acceptance level to 10 and unlock new harem events for them.

This is the 11th version of PHOENIXES and a new beginning for the game. Hmmm… perhaps you can even consider v11 as the first version of PHOENIXES 2.0. We hope this update will lay a solid foundation for the future development of PHOENIXES. As I mentioned in previous posts, in v11, your old saves will no longer be usable. We’ve added and changed so many things to the game that made it impossible to be compatible with old saves. You’ll need to start a new game in v11, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Now, let’s see what we’ve prepared for you: Complete reworked the free-roaming system and map UI Now, locations on the map are no longer just for show. You can actually click on a location to open a menu of available actions, such as scavenging, doing paperwork, raising girls' love levels, or even triggering special side stories. And of course, you can still keep the old habits and raise girls' love levels through bubble events above locations. We’ll continue to add more interesting actions on the map in future updates. Side storylines I have some ideas for erotic scenes that don’t quite fit in the main storyline and should have some independent plot space for expansion. So in this update, we introduced the concept of ‘side storylines.’ These side stories will allow you to learn more about your girls from new angles. The main scenes of a side storyline will gradually unlock as the girl’s love level increases. In v11, we’ve created side storylines for Heather, Sorring, and Osonia, with Heather’s and Sorring’s being quite complete (since their love level is already high). We aim to add at least one side storyline for every girl in future updates. Side storylines are triggered by special actions that appear at specific times in locations. Detailed information is recorded in the Status screen, so you don’t need to worry about missing them. Main storyline I got some feedback from time to time about some girls' relationships with the MC heating up too quickly, and I do acknowledge this issue. To make sure we had enough new erotic scenes in each update, we had to advance some girls' stories fast so they could provide more and more erotic scenes for us. And now it’s time to slow down and readjust the whole story. In this update, we didn’t advance any girl's main storyline; they remain where they left off in v10. However, we’ve inserted many new scenes into the girls’ existing stories to flesh out the characters and make things less abrupt. Heather, Sorring, Osonia, Alnilam, Juliana, Molly, and Cassy all have new scenes more or less. New function for Novella’s office Since v2, we haven’t added any new events to Novella’s office because I couldn’t think of any erotic content that needed to happen there. In fact, creating some erotic content in just a short, repeatable event seemed pointless as well. So, in v11, we changed the role of this room and rewrote the events there. It’s no longer just a trigger for uneventful erotic short events. Now the events happening in this room will help flesh out the club members’ characters better. A detailed tutorial page After making so many changes to the game system, some guidance might be necessary. New club upgrades In v11, your initial AP limit will only be 1, but you can gradually increase it to 3 through club upgrades. Reworked over 200 poorly-performing old images Most of them are relics from the v0.1 era. After this huge redo, over 90% of the old images from v0.1 have been replaced with better versions. We will continue to redo more poorly-performing old images in future updates. Revised plots We’ve systematically modified some plot texts to make the early MC more… likable. Rewritten biographies for the girls We were unsatisfied with the biographies added in the last version because they only retold the plot you’ve already experienced without adding more information about the girls. In this update, we’ve completely rewritten all the biographies. Now these bios should help you understand your girls better.

Talismans This is the first What-if chapter for PHOENIXES.

v10 is the biggest update of PHOENIXES so far, even bigger than v9, with 1100+ new images and animated scenes. It is double the content of many previous updates. I don’t think we will ever make a bigger update in the future. In future update cycles, we will strive to keep the volume of updates and development time within a more reasonable and rational range. Now let’s take a brief look at what we have in v10: - Improved the clock UI: The old clock was not even a real circle but rather a rough polygon that looked like a circle. Now we’ve made it more circular and added more lighting effects to it. - Reworked the album system: Now there won’t be any lagging issue when viewing images in the album. - Implemented the biography system: The Records screen has always been relatively unimportant since it is entirely unrelated to gameplay. Your gaming experience wouldn’t be affected even if you never viewed this screen. But it must exist because there has to be a place to record a dozen girls’ information. However, this unimportant screen has become almost entirely useless since v2. Due to coding issues, the girls’ information could not be updated in time, for example, Cassy’s description still says ‘I don’t know much about her yet’ even if she has been your maid for so long. This obviously needed improvement. In v10, we replaced the previous character introductions with a biography system. Every time your relationship with a girl progresses to a new significant stage, a new segment of textual content about her will be unlocked in her record. We believe this improvement will at least restore this screen from ‘completely useless’ to ‘unimportant’ again. - Numerous bugs fixed: - Fixed the issue that caused the game unable to return to the subplot screen after skipping a subplot to its end. - Fixed the issue in the PC version where the first text triggered after opening the game does not pop up a dialogue box. - Fixed a display bug that occurs when opening the Status screen for the first time in each time period. - Fixed the issue that caused the game to only display thumbnails for the latest 15 saves. - New girl’s debut: Enyora In v10, a new villain girl will make her debut. She is a high-IQ schemer and politician, using explosive high-tech playing cards as weapons. Her appearance signifies a new phase in the main story. The city is getting more chaotic every day as the mayoral election approaches, and soon there will be more new girls coming on the stage. - New sexable girl: Osonia In v10, you will be able to have sex with Osonia for the first time, but please note that you will have to reach a certain level of intimacy with Sorring first. Unlike other girls, Osonia and Sorring’s stories are highly interconnected. Osonia won’t be too intimate with a man until her sister has a boyfriend. - Alnilam, Kemuri, Sorring, and Osonia will have new personal plots

Now saves that had the v9 submissiveness bug will be automatically fixed. x2
