Hi everyone. Unfortunately I'm not able to get the game update out this month, I've split it into 2 parts and been working on getting the first part (which is about 2/3rd's of the complete Japanihon update) playable with the tiny area and to let you travel back and forth between. I'll be releasing it around mid-March at latest and if I manage to finish most of the tiny area to work correctly then I'll see if I've got time to add in Tsumi's voices for the cakebite/pizza/Japan bathroom parts.

Currently Part 1 of the update will/should have these main parts completed:

• Japanihon main explorable area (Map area size is bigger than Starkovia overworld put together already, not even including Tiny Minigame area yet).
• Cakebite/Pizza shops with animated eating scenes
• 4x funny cutscene/events of Ajia's time at Shrink High
• Tiny Minigame flashback event (Big area as shown before and RPG Maker combat based)
• Ability to travel between Starkovia and Japanihon every morning.

Part 2 should include these and some of the stuff mentioned in game but are not part of Part 1.

• Extras to tiny minigame story (Includes caches/tinies that Tsumi can find after they are found in the minigame as part 1 won't have any rewards for it yet)
• Voice overs for 2 events + bathroom parts (might be able to get the event ones in for Part 1 but the tiny part has been a nightmare so it's 50/50 currently).
• Miyu events at Shrinkex (The 2nd half of the reason Tsumi is visiting Japanihon and affect the TUS core story. Will be a requirement to complete game aka when it's finished)
• Chisana's in Japanihon (Part 1 can visit but not do anything in there)
• Homeless people (Laws in Japanihon are different so you can find them randomly around and bribe/trick/report to police who then get them forcefully downsized and end up in Chisana etc)
• Looking to add AT LEAST 1 more funny cutscene flashback for Ajia as to why she left the Advanced Sciences Society and was never implicated in it. I want to add more but not priority.
• Bathroom parts in Japanihon have different dialogue due to voice overs but currently non-voiced won't be in Part 1 either.
• Ability to sleep in the hotel and stay on past just the 1 day. (Might be in part 1)

Part 2 has more mentioned because I can't mention everything in Part 1 since it's a whole new area. I can't do the tinies in overworld rework till I finish Japanihon because it'll waste my time having to delete and update them all on so many maps.

I apologize again for no update this month. I've been working on it flat out to try get it out by end of Feb and went some sleepless nights in the past week working through, while recovering from the flu too. I've been so busy on it I haven't even had time to send revisions for Tsumi's voice lines to the actress.

ARTBATCH:

This month's artbatch has the 3 completed shaded in manga pages, Yashi redesign (needed him updated so he can go in next manga pages), and Yufukuna in the bathroom. The bathroom one is in the appropriate folder so those who don't want to see it can view a cut version of her upper body instead. Surprisingly she came out quite cute!
