Hello Squires! Thank you for patiently waiting! ːbestgrilbessyː
As the title says, this is our biggest update of the year (apart from the game's release, of course). Previously known as v1.0.5, lots of major features have been added to our v1.1.0 patch, such as:
[h1]New Game+ is here! (BETA)[/h1]
One of the highlights of this update is the implementation of New Game+. Please take note that this is still in BETA. Please bear with us as we continue to fix bugs that might arise due to this feature. Rest assured that we are doing our best to further polish your gaming experience! ːamyhappyː

[b]How does New Game+ work?[/b][list]
[*] When you finish an ending, a notification will appear before you go back to the game's main menu. You will be asked if you want to save your game as New Game+. If yes, you will be prompted to save this progress on a new save slot.
[*] New Game+ save slots will have a 'NG+' marking on them, as well as a rainbow frame.
[*] In New Game+, the days will reset back to Month 1 Day 05. In addition, you can now sleep anytime you want.
[*] All of the relationship progress and events that you've previously achieved in your playthrough will be retained and cannot be triggered again, EXCEPT for some date-locked events (i.e. Ladies of the Lake, Fertility Date & Hugh's Monthly Check-Ups). These events should play normally once you reach them.
[*] If you want to reset your relationship in New Game+, you can do so by clicking the Relationship UI in Squire's Bedroom. There should be a reset button there. IMPORTANT: You can only reset your relationship with the girl you've already finished.
[*] Lastly, all 16 topics of the girl you've finished are now unlocked.
