Shale Hill Secrets for android

v0.18.3
In this second release, you'll get to explore the extended endings for another three of our leading ladies. Just like in the first Epilogue, this isn't just about a steamy scene; it's a mini storyline that brings more fun and depth to each conclusion. So, who will you end up with this time?
Lidia

You and Lidia have taken over managing the café at Shale Hill University. Life is calm and routine, but maybe that's not enough for you, especially after everything that happened.
However, this calm is short-lived. A ghost from the past will soon return to disrupt your lives, and our MC's past experiences will be crucial in overcoming these new challenges.

Sam
In the alternate ending where you end up with Sam, your political side takes center stage once more. You've won the election and become student council president, finishing your term with a perfect track record.
After graduation, as you step into adulthood, you believe that your future doesn’t lie in politics. But fate has a way of bringing things back into our lives, and it just might push you back in that direction.

Valerie
Valerie ended the last chapter of Shale Hill Secrets behind bars. After everything that happened in the game, one of our story’s pivotal characters didn’t make it out unscathed. But our protagonist’s love for her still beats strong.
In this ending, you'll wait for her release, and once she's free, she’ll have to rediscover what life is like on the outside. Valerie will face new challenges, and she'll need you by her side to overcome them.

Platinum Bonus Scene: Sandra - The Party

v0.18.0

Hey everyone, how's it going?

In this initial release, you’ll get to explore the extended endings of three of our leading ladies. And get ready, because we’ve made sure to bring you more detailed endings with a little extra storyline than just a few “special scenes”.

With Maggie, as you might expect, the adventure revolves around her troubled family. New events are set to unfold, and our girl will need to muster the strength to balance the challenges of her new career with her family drama.

Haley, on the other hand, is on the rise. Her singing career seems to have taken off, but the tough industry might make things a bit more complicated. Nothing a trip down memory lane and a dose of love can’t fix.
Lastly, you’ll also have the chance to continue with Emily. Here, a new company, focused on leveraging all the expertise of our MC and his friends, promises to shake things up in Shale Hill. Familiar challenges will reappear, but you’ll work together to finally get your happy ending.

Bonus Scene!
In this update, we’re also bringing the playable version of the July bonus scene for our Platinum+ Patrons. As we mentioned earlier, in this scene, you'll find a "different" path, let's say, leading to one of the key events at the game's end.

If you recall Episode 16, we had quite the adventure at the movie theater... Now, how about getting to experience an "alternative" version of that scene? Trust me, it's going to be a steamy one!

We hope you enjoy it! More to come soon!

v0.17.1
Platinum Gallery Scene:
Genevieve, Valerie's lackey, is taken to Leah's room to perform a strip search. After all that happened, one cannot trust the intentions of such a character, right? Well, Leah doesn't find any bugs on her, but the young woman has another weapon up her sleeve.

v0.17.0
And there were many surprises. As he dove headfirst into an investigation, he gradually realized there was a pattern of bizarre events around him. Friends experienced strange interventions in their lives, attempts were made to ruin their futures, teachers displayed odd behavior, and people went missing.
Well, the MC isn't an FBI agent or anything like that, but he had special help to dig deeper into this web of lies, schemes, and manipulation. The deeper you go, the wormhole seems endless. Just seems, because it's time to face the puppet master, the person controlling the whole scheme, and once and for all, determine what your future will be.
Is this the end?
This is the final episode of Shale Hill Secrets. It's been an incredible journey, but we believe a good story needs a beginning, middle, and end. However, we also know that stories have branches, and that's why the Shale Hill universe doesn't end here.
Three projects that extend the world surrounding this story are already in production. Initially, there will be two epilogues, showing a small continuation for the different possible endings of the game.
Additionally, another project, a larger one, is also in development. This one will bring a slightly different gameplay and will present to you a story that happened a few years before Shale Hill Secrets. Stay tuned for more news in the following months!

The time has finally come… the second installment of Shale Hill Secrets is here!

After more than eight weeks in the oven, this release of SHS is definitely a lot longer than the average episode we had for Double Homework! The reason it took a bit longer than we originally expected was because we prepared a few surprises…

Animations

We hear you. In the survey we ran a few months ago, a lot of players let us know that they’d like to see animations in our games. It wasn't an easy quest, but we managed to make a full animated sex scene. This scene also has a completely new style. The idea is to bring something that doesn’t feel like a linear slideshow: now you’ll be able to choose what you want to do, and the dialogue between the MC and the counterpart progresses accordingly.

Even if you are not that interested in Emily (the MC’s ex), please go through her route and give the scene a try. We really want you all to experience the new format we are developing and give us feedback so our next scenes are even better! By the way, don’t worry, the choices you need to make to get laid with her are very obvious. Feedback is very important to us with this release, so please feel free to leave some below or preferably in #constructive-feedback on our Discord server.

Exploration & Gameplay

Although we consider SHS a traditional visual novel, we have expanded further into the possibility of having free exploration in certain areas. You should be able to go to several locations at different times, and this will affect your quest and give you different interactions with the characters you find. Please let us know how you like this mechanic.

v0.1.0

Initial Release

The time has finally come… the first installment of Shale Hill Secrets is here!

The most important thing to remember is that this is an alpha release, so please report any bugs or issues to #bug-reports or #typos in our Discord channel. This first release is an introduction to the game’s world, meaning it’s shorter than we are planning in the future, and that there are not yet any sex scenes. The engine is different from the one used in Double Homework (it was all revamped), so a lot of changes have been made. We have tested the game extensively in the past few days, however, some bugs may still appear. If something strange happens during your playthrough or if it doesn’t seem right, please, let us know on our Discord channel.

Please do not post bug reports on Patreon. It’s hard to track and give you guys proper assistance. If you don’t have a Discord account, please send us an email instead to support@love-joint.com

Platform Change

As we have stated previously, this game has moved away from HTML5 and will instead be downloadable. Right now, for this specific release, the only supported platform is Windows (64-bit only). The game should run in any up-to-date system with Windows 8 or newer. However, we recommend Windows 10 since that’s what we use for development and testing.

This move enables us to add more exciting features and bring less linear gameplay to you, as being web-based came with a bunch of limitations that wouldn’t allow us to expand. You will see some of these new features in this release of the game, and we hope to expand on them as the game moves forward!

Mac and Android

Mac OS and Android builds are being worked on and will be released as soon as possible, with Mac coming first (hopefully within the next week). My sincere apologies for not having these builds ready today.

Release Schedule

With Shale Hill Secrets, we have made the decision to move away from a monthly release schedule. We know many will be disappointed by this, but we have no doubt in the long run that patrons will be greater rewarded.

As we said above, we have moved away from HTML5 to bring less linear gameplay and more features, giving the player more control of their options and choices in the game. With this in mind, a monthly deadline wouldn’t allow the team to bring this type of experience to you. Right now, we are aiming to release a new content update every 6/8 weeks. This doesn’t mean the team will be taking a month off in between releases, just that each update will take more work and bring in more content with better quality than before.

We hope you enjoy this first release of Shale Hill Secrets. We are really excited for you to see more of what we have planned. Thank you all again for your fantastic support!

Keep safe and see you soon,
The Love-Joint Team.
