Hey there, you guys!

I'm pretty excited to show this to you all. The UI has been officially finished. All the assets (portraits, day transitions, date overlay) have been ported over to it and it's now fully functional. And in case Patreon decides to freak out and refuses to load the video, ...

Update 0.39 - Keisuke

Hey there, everyone!

I'm sorry for the delay. I ended up taking about twelve or so hours longer than I initially intended to release this demo. My college professors dumped a lot of new work on top of us the past week because we're over two months late on our classes due to the pandemic and...

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Hope you guys have been staying safe lately.

I'm coming here real quick to let you all know that the next demo will be delayed for about three to four days. Nyaruh has asked me for a little extra time to complete the art for this month, which is pretty f...

Update 0.38 - Shoichi (Hotfix)

Hey there, everyone!

I hope you guys have all stayed safe over the past little while. I'm here to bring you all the latest TA update! This one was... an experience to work with. This update ended up being legitimately a bit over twice the size of a regular TA update. I was super stressed tr...

Update 0.37 - Jun

Hey there, everyone!

I hope you're all doing well! This update is finally ready to be released. Like I had said before when I released the notice of delay, I wanted this to be absolutely perfect so I waited a little longer to make sure I had the art needed to release with this one, it just ...

Hey there, everyone!

Early Delay Notice

Hey there, everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know as soon as possible: Nyaruh has been having some big personal problems (which are not mine to disclose the nature of) for the past week or so and I'm delaying the next by 4 days or so. That way she'll have time to finish the new CG for ...

Update 0.36 - Keisuke

Hello!

I am a little conflicted here. I was totally supposed to be 100% on time this month... but I got sick two days ago and ended up losing an entire day without being able to work. As a result, I'm about five hours late on this update. The bitterness that I feel over that fact cannot be ...

Short Delay on Daki Shipments

Hey everyone.

I just wanted to let you all know that the store I'm selling my dakis through has had a setback during production. Their factory had to close for a while due to the corovonavirus crisis in China (I didn't ask for many details on this so admittedly I'm not super privy about the...

Update 0.35 - Shoichi

Good morning, everyone!

So, I am a little bit pleased with myself because I didn't end up needing the full 48 hours. Took me about 32 hours to finish the update and spent the past few hours having someone playtest  it for me  after my own personal round of playtesting to try and g...

Short Delay (48 hours)

Hey there, it's me again.

As you guys know, the past few months have been difficult. I've been slowly catching back up on work and dealing with the snowballing effect that happened after that first delay a few months ago. I'll be honest and say that I probably would have been in the clear t...

Next Build Delayed

Hello everyone.

I'm really sorry to be delaying a build for the second month in a row. Writing has been really tough for me this last month and I don't really want to make any excuses for it, I just don't have the update finished in time. Hopefully I should have it done in the next few days...

Update 0.33 - Keisuke

Hey there, everyone!

I want to thank you all again for your patience with this delay I had. Hopefully the update will be worth it! Thanks to the higher than normal new art assets (3 CGs and new background) and a full sized update, this one has a little bit more meat in its bones than usual!...

Short Delay Notice - Happy Holidays

Hey there everyone!

First of all, just want to let you all know I'll be delaying the next demo for a few days (4 to 5). I've been really busy preparing for the music festival and wasn't able to get the work to a quality I can be satisfied with. And I'd rather not rush it out cause then it ...

Hey there.

Hello everyone!

This one is coming out just two hours before midnight. I really want to stop with all this last minute releasing but this month was pretty hectic. I'm likely going to move next week (or in 10 days at the latest) and so I've been organizing. This move was kinda last minute, I...

Update 0.30 - Keisuke

Hey there, everyone!

I think this is the first time I didn't struggle a ton writing a Keisuke update in recent memory. It's a nice break from the usual routine with him.

Also, I wanted to clarify something with the last Shoichi update that was released last month: even though the upda...

Hey there!

Sorry again for the delay. I was able to get this done in time and am pretty okay with how it came out. This time we deal with the results of Jun's failed confession during the fireworks display. How do things progress from there? Does it get awkward? Find out now!

Hey guys.

I regrettably come by to let you all know, because of last month's one week delay, I tried my best to get this update done in time but I don't think there's any way I can reasonable finish it by the 30th. As such, I'll be delaying the update by 3 days.

Hey guys.

I'm sorry to say this but I'm dropping by to say that the next demo will be delayed for around a week. This month I had a lot of trouble getting the writing to flow how I wanted it to (it seems to be a reocurring issue when it comes to Keisuke, for some reason writing for him alwa...
