Idea proposal for bonus scene #4 started (25$ tier), poll result for the second-year anniversary, and upcoming Japanese translation

Alright, so I have a few things that I want to briefly talk about. Also, I just want to point out that I'm moving to my new apartment tomorrow, so I might not be available for the next two days. I apologize for any inconvenience this might incur.

Idea proposal for bonus scene #4 started (25$ tier)

The idea proposal for the bonus scene #4 just started. If you want a chance to have your idea made into a bonus scene, you can upgrade your tier to the 25$ tier and post your idea here.

The idea proposal will last for a week.

Poll result for the second-year anniversary

For those who don't know, we ran a poll last month to decide on something special we should be doing for the second-year anniversary of the Patreon page. To my surprise, a lot of you voted for the 'do nothing' option. I think I'm partly to blame for mentioning that I feel a bit overworked lately. I'll try to keep those comments to myself from now on, as my intention was never to sway the direction of the poll one way or the other. In any case, this didn't stop the catgirl option to come out on top in the end.

So rejoice, everyone! My beautiful logo will soon have its catgirl version in form of a sprite. Here's the logo, so that everyone can savor its beauty.

I've already contacted my sprite artist, and he's working on it. We should have this beautiful piece of art later this month! It brings tears to my eyes, I won't lie…

Upcoming Japanese translation

This might be coming out of nowhere. I've been thinking recently about at least trying to sell my games on the Japanese market. The thing is, hiring someone for a Japanese translation isn't cheap. And A Promise Best Left Unkept, as you know, is lengthy. I discussed it with a few fans on discord, and thought about it on my own for a while, and decided that the best option would be to release the game in multiple parts (so as to not take too many risks at once).

So I'm announcing today that the first part of A Promise Best Left Unkept (the first 100k words) will be available on DLSite in Japanese later this month. The first part goes up to Luca's and Laura's second date in the hotel room (the day before the movie theater date)

Here's the link to the upcoming work announcement: https://www.dlsite.com/maniax/announce/=/product_id/RJ01034984.html

This might very well end up being a failure. I'm still very confused as to how to really tackle the release (should I wait and gain a bit more traction, or just release it as soon as I can so that I can quickly work on the second part of the game if it's a success). Either way, I feel like would regret it if I didn't try.
