Santa Lucia
"Santa Lucia" Build 34 Now Available!

Hey everyone!
First off, I want to apologize to the Bryan fans. I didn’t quite make it to the route content for him this month, but without a doubt the Zach birthday event is fully done as of this update!
One of my big habits with Santa Lucia is underestimating the scope of the events I have planned out. What was meant to be a brief arrival of unexpected guests at the birthday party spiraled into what I think is probably the most cozy branching event in the game. I’m really happy with how everything turned out even if it took a lot more effort than I anticipated.
We’ve got 11 branches to this month’s event, and I encourage you to check them all out. Three branches are specific to their respective husbando’s route, so if you’ve been keeping up with your saves on all three routes then you’re in for an even bigger treat!
Finally, continuing to go off on the whole “underestimating the scope” issue, we have the most ambitious CG I’ve ever assigned to Dev this month. I knew I wanted a scene where the entire principle cast was together in one piece, but alas that ballooned into an all-month project for Dev, too! I’m really excited to hear what you guys think about the table CG, make sure to let us know in the comments!
Anyway, that covers pretty much everything I wanted to talk about. Next month we for sure get back to the route portion of development again, so expect updates to be more focused on Bryan for the next few months.
Cheers!

How do I access all 11 routes of this event?
This is a question I'd love to know the answer to too. I had no idea things could branch that much! I thought the only branching was just based on picking whose route you wanted to be on.
Let's assume for a moment that in this game there are no routes, and that Ben doesn't care romantically about anyone. See the pictures bellow? In the first one there are 8 events, 8 chit-chats.
But as we all know there are 3 routes in this game, 3 love interests. This is important, because, for example: If you chose to talk to Carlos during his route he will tell us about how Sierra is asking for his advice in regards to art. But if you talk to him during Bryan's or Nate's route, this would be the moment we find out that his was in the hospital for overdosing on drugs, and unlike his route (due to the lack of Bennet's to convince him to clear the air between them) he refuses to go see him and hasn't talked to him.
Now we have 8 routeless chit-chats and 3 route specific, 8+3=11 and now I hope this long block of text helped you understand how you can access all 11 chit-chats from this update.
P.S. I posted this on my phone because it just doesn’t work on my computer and I hope that the pictures or the comment will be visible.
ohhhhh you are a savior!
Hehe… thanks.
It was both worth the wait and delay to Bryan's route. The character interactions are so on point, interesting and fun. I can honestly say that I can't wait to see more of this game, it's so well done.
I really, really love that table CG!!!!
Same! Though I'm I the only one getting Last Supper vibes?
It is great, personally my favorite part is either Bryan/Carlos or Shay, leaning towards Shay, she looks like she just heard a terrible joke, she knows it's terrible but she still loved it.
