TA-DA! Shoujo City is back, and better than ever. ^^ For several months I have been working on a new version, completely remaking the game - this time in full 3D and with much better graphics and design. Check the video to see the first preview of the new version. Also, now I have a new website for the project - http://shoujocity.com and will post there regular updates on current development progress for everybody interested. Feel free to post your ideas of what you would like to see in the new game. Now I have much more freedom in implementing new features and ideas. One of them is clothes, cosplay, and character customization - it was really difficult to implement using sprites due to amount of work to draw all the sprites from different angles. This feature is fully implemented already in the 3D version.

Updates in version 1.8.1: * 15 new dialogues for Yumi. * a new location and a new dating spot - classroom (school 1st floor). * a new accessory item - maple leaf (can be picked under the tree near the Sushi Cafe).

A new girl with yandere personality is added - Saori. If you date Saori, her jealousy towards other girls will grow day by day, resulting in her going insane and attacking them. To avoid that, make sure her jealousy level is as low as possible by the end of each day.

Recent updates (up to v.1.7.28): * a new location and game feature - cinema (located next to Sushi Cafe in the premium area). Now you can take a girl to watch a movie. * 20 new dialogues for Anette. * a new accessory item - red flower. Can be obtained for free from a bush in front of the school entrance. * redesign of the street area near the storage building. * best scores are now shown in the main menu. * quick access/map teleport now works during dates, too.

Updates in version 1.7.26: * 25 new dialogues for Laika. * updated title screen. * profiles of the girls in the main menu.

A new cool feature is added in version 1.7.24 - kissing mini-game. After some dates now you can try to ask a girl for a kiss. She will agree if you had a perfect date, and if she likes you. Otherwise asking for a kiss will decrease intimacy with that girl. Not asking for a kiss when the girl is expecting it will also decrease your score.

Recent updates (up to v.1.7.22/23): * 50 new dialogues for girls; * updated title screen; More detailed info on updates, artwork, and development notes now can be found at http://twitter.com/shoujo_city

Spent last few days drawing new artwork and redesigning the game website from a scratch. http://laika.karou.jp I think it looks a lot cuter now. ^^

No. Both Google Play and App Store have very strict policies on adult content, so it wouldn't be allowed. Besides, I'm not sure if it is even necessary. But I have a few alternative ideas for additional interactions with the girls to reward for successful dates/overall progress, which will be implemented in future versions of the game.

There is a tutorial in game phone, and it flashes "new" message non-stop until it's opened and read. I thought it would be enough for everybody to notice it. Or you mean there should be something like an interactive tutorial showing with arrows and pop-up messages where to go and what to do next?

An important update in version 1.7.20 - now the game can be saved any time through your in-game phone, and you can continue later to play from that point. Now you won't have to lose your progress if you have only a few minutes to play. This update is already available for Android, and iOS version should be updated tomorrow (hopefully). If you have some specific suggestions, go ahead and post your comments on what you think should be added or changed. I'm always looking for new comments and ideas. ^^

iOS version is released: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shoujo-city-anime-game/id1128360282 If somebody here will play it, I would appreciate if you wrote a review for the game (whatever you think it deserves) at the App Store.

Shoujo Sniper (a spin-off game from Shoujo City) is now also available for iOS: https://itunes.apple.com/app/shoujo-sniper-anime-game/id1126887783

New updates: * a second ufo catcher machine with cat pillows; * new locations in the school - second floor, rooftop; * a new dating spot at the school rooftop; * use of accessory items now affects the final intimacy score; * a new accessory item - bell choker (can be obtained through a quest).

A new gameplay video introducing currently available girls. Also, I finally got my hands on a Mac Mini and started working on the iOS version of the game. It may take quite a while as yet before the iOS version is finally released, but at least I made the first steps.

Recent updates (up to version 1.7.13): * update of the dinner feature: now all food is drawn with images instead of just text. Likes and dislikes of each girl are now taken into account and will affect the score you get after a dinner - make sure you order only the the food your girl likes. Game cafes are renamed. * new accessory items - panda hairpin, flower hairpin, choker; * the girls will now correctly turn towards you when you ask them out or talk to them; * a new location - school 1st floor (more locations in school will be unlocked later); * a new feature - item quests. By completing item quests you can obtain rare accessory items. Talk to the schoolgirl in the school, and to neko girl in the sushi cafe.

I am planning to release it for iOS at some point in the future. Can't say right now when exactly this will happen, though.

In the beginning of the game you can choose to play as a girl or as a boy. If you play as a boy, there is no yuri.

Recent updates: * a new feature - hotel room (you can go to bed here and proceed to next day); * high scores now can be checked in the hotel room (instead of main menu); * depending on the current love interest, you will have a portrait of your favorite girl above the bed in your room; * a new feature - item request. While walking around the city with a girl, she may occasionally ask for a snack (additional intimacy bonus if you get her that snack); * talking to the fortune teller is now free (limited to one conversation per day); * more tips by the fortune teller; * a new accessory item - maid headband (can be obtained from gashapon capsules).

@OP: go for it. 15 views for each video would be quite a decent start for a new no-name channel, actually. I saw countless game channels on Youtube desperately struggling to get at least that much after several months passing and dozens of uploaded let's play/review videos.

A new dating spot is added in version 1.7.7 in the beach area. While dating in this location, the girls will wear their beach swimsuits, which are different for each girl.

I'm currently adding various accessory items. Recent items: bear hairpin, pink bow, green bow, double bow, fancy bow. All of them can be obtained from gashapon capsules, which can be bought from gashapon machines or obtained as a prize after completing the game. If anybody has suggestions for other accessories to add, feel free to post your ideas.

A new location is added in version 1.7.2 - beach, with a new shop selling grill snacks, and a new accessory item (seashell).

A new girl - Yumi, is available for dating in version 1.7.0. She appears in the school area.
