Hey gang, I just wanted to let everyone know I've been plugging away at writing! A lot of it has been stuff players will run into during free roam, so it's been short conversations and observations.
I wrote 2,673 words, bringing the new total word count to 104,876!
And with that, I am...

Hey everyone! As you probably saw with the monthly pinup, sometimes Vera needs to work the counter.
Starting with Episode 6, on Hazel's days off, Vera will be serving drinks at Cafe Estros!
This is her fun work attire: a very comfy sweater and the only apron that fits her, uhm, size.<...

Hey everyone! Incredible news: our Patreon has over 1,000 members now!!!
It's been a long journey to get here, but we officially have 1,000 people supporting this game, which is utterly amazing. As the game and the Patreon grow, I try to do more and do it better, and I also hire people to h...

Hello! I hope everyone who has the chance to play v0.11.5 is having a good time!
But the boat doesn't stop, and we aren't stopping ;)
One question I am always asking myself is, "How do I make the game take up less space?"
We solved a bit of that question by inventing a lighter v...

It has been 150 days since I made a post like this for the last build, and it has been a wild ride. I moved, got married, quit my retail job and made this my full-time job.
I didn't want this update to take as long as it did, but when I actually sit back and c...
2024-08-12 19:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, gang, my oh my, I think we've finally finished it.
We fixed the way the textboxes interact with text centred on the screen and the text messages on mobile.
This should be everything, and it should work like a charm now.
As a reminder, the code to active backer-guided mo...

For Backers Only! Join us in celebrating Episode 5 of Hazelnut Latte's completion by marathoning the first three Evil Dead movies! We will be watching a special fan edit that cuts the first three films into one 3h46m extravaganza! We will start the event with a Q&A session with RadLord so you...

2024-08-07 23:42:27 +0000 UTC View PostWe want to thank everyone who provided feedback on the last Alpha build!
We managed to squash a lot of problems and create v0.11.4!

Solid textbox was not working on mobile.

Not to mention, it has a secret ending to the game.

Heya gang!
Not much to say except we are waiting on one final animation!
We just need to implement it when it comes our way!
I'm revamping the guided build for $20+ members so that it is not dumb like last time.
So, hopefully, you can play something soon!

Hey gang! It's been a hot minute since I've written out what is happening with the game.
As you've seen, we've been fixing some sprites, making the whole game come together beautifully. It's what you're looking at 90% of the time, so we want them to be perfect.
But what else is going ...

Hey there! We felt that Mr. Noto also needed some sprucing up! He was made in the same batch as v3 Hazel and v2 Jeze, so he had the same shading and style as they did. Since we've moved away from that, he needed to change with the times.

Hey gang! We felt Vera was a liiiiiitle outdated and had some odd anatomy, so we adjusted her a bit.
We mainly felt that her head was too small for her body. Vera has a substantial figure, and the t...
We also made a new dress for Jeze to wear on formal dates.

Hey everyone!
We have all the art done now for Episode 5!
But we're not ready for release yet.
With this newest scene, we decided to work smarter and not do what we usually do: draw 3 to 8 different frames to simulate animation. This was our practice before an animator ...

Hey everyone!
After redoing Hazel, Kokman and I looked at all of the characters, and we both came to the conclusion that Jeze also needed a refresher. Hazel felt like the odd man out, and once he was redone, we saw that Jeze was also a bit out. Not nearly as much, but Kokman's style and tal...

Hey everyone! We finalized our new gallery, so I wanted to show it off to all of you lovely people. And I figured a video would be better than a step-by-step walkthrough with screenshots, so enjoy the video!

Bit of a weird update.
I spoke with my developer about using Evil Dead and other properties in Hazelnut Latte. I was concerned that there could be a problem when we launched the game on Steam, and they agreed.
This means every reference to a real property in Hazel...
