Version 0.85 - Haruki

Good evening,

Once more, I'm sorry for the delay. Trying to get an update out was hell. I was juggling both Keisuke and Haruki and just could not get the writing to flow for Kei, so since Nyaruh finished the Haruki CGs I decided to pivot to that one. It's pretty clear which one I was more e...

Reasons for the delay and status update

Good afternoon,

I wish I was posting this with the actual update already finished, but sadly I'm not. I was hoping to get things squared away and get 2026 off to a good start, but I was actually hit with some pretty big problems at the very start of January. I thought it would get sorted fa...

Version 0.84 - Shoichi (Good/Medium)

Good afternoon,

It took me longer than I wanted to, but I managed to complete the Shoichi update more or less "on time". While it's definitely a week late, because I got sick right after crunching to finish the previous update, I only really got started on this one about a week and a half b...

Version 0.83 - Jun

Good evening,

I'm finally done with this update. It was... a very emotionally difficult one to write. Having so many routes hitting big emotional moments at the same time is kind of nice, but also takes a lot of emotional energy out of me. I'm happy with this one, and there are a lot of imp...

Poll: WIP CGs to launch updates faster?

Good evening,

This is something I've been meaning to ask for a while, but as Nyaruh was still working on the sprite remakes for the main 3, I didn't feel it was relevant yet. Now that they're finished and out of the way, I need to know.

There's quite a few updates/plot points that req...

Version 0.82 - Haruki

Good evening,

I'm sorry for the huge delay with this update. The last couple months have been a lot. I don't know how many of you keep up with my social media, but in addition to having gotten sick and in bed rest for a week recently, I also had to deal with problems with the IRS, with a di...

Status Update

Good evening,

This is just a quick status update to let you guys know since I didn't make the post in time. As the last TA update was quite late (two weeks late) and I then went out of town for a week for family stuff (I took my laptop with me, so I got some work done, but not much) I could...

Version 0.81 - Keisuke

Good evening,

Thank you guys once again for the patience with this long delay. July was a whirlwind of a month and unfortunately a lot of bad things happened one after the other. I managed to get the update done, but I'm not happy with how long it took.

That said, this is a bit of a m...

Status Update

Good evening,

I just wanted to let you guys know the Keisuke update will be delayed a few days. This month in general has been pretty awful for me, but in special the last few weeks. I lost my last living grandparent to a sudden stroke, the uncle whose family I was going to visit last week ...

Update 0.80 - Shoichi (Good/Medium path)

Good evening,

I'm sorry for the delay. I initially thought June had 31 days and had planned on getting things done in time, but I wasted time yesterday coding a new function into the game that would save me time in the future. Thought it would only take a couple hours to do, but I ended up ...

Version 0.79 - Jun

Good evening,

Thank you guys for the patience with the delay. I was able to get the update to a point where I'm satisfied with it! I'm a little tired, so I won't yap endlessly about it. The new Jun sprite looks great, I haven't spotted any errors with it, but if you guys do, let me know. F...

Delay Notice

Good evening,

Regrettably, I'm really sorry to have to delay the update for a few days. Not only am I still catching up after the delay last month caused by sickness, but I also had to go out of town for a bit under a week to visit family around the middle of the month. I've been crunching ...

Update 0.78 - Keisuke

Good evening,

I'm sorry again for the delay. I tried my best to work while sick, but it's been tough. Whatever it is I caught, it developed into full blown laryngitis, so not only could I not talk for a few days, I couldn't sleep or eat very well either. I'll spare you guys the gory details...

Slight Delay Notice (sick) + Jun sprite status update

Hey guys,

Just making this post real quick so I don't forget to keep you guys in the loop. I'm gonna delay the Keisuke update a few days as I've gotten sick over the weekend and not been able to get much work done. Hopefully it should only be a few days. I'm working to get the update out to...

Update 0.77 - Shoichi (Good Path) & Jun sprite WIP

Good evening,

I'm posting this a bit earlier because, by some miracle, I actually finished the update last night and got to take my time a bit more with playtesting and proofreading it.

Update

Now, this update involves, like I mentioned it would during the previous Sho update...

Update 0.76 - Jun

Good afternoon,

Thank you once again for the patience with the earlier delay. February being such a short month really gives me trouble every year. Thankfully, I managed to finish the update today (I would have liked to get it done two days ago, but it wouldn't have been presentable then). ...

Delay Notice

Hey everyone. I wanted to make this post earlier today, but I've been struggling to do much today thanks to a bad bout of allergies that meds won't fix.

I've been trying to get the Jun update done in time, but due to February being on the shorter end of months, plus my allergies acting up s...

Update 0.75 - Haruki (Hotfix 01/02/2025)

Good evening,

I'll be short and sweet, because I'm exhausted right now. I managed to get the Haruki update done in time (weee). Just had it playtested by a friend while writing this post.

This one was fun to write, but I'm ready to rest now. I really hope you guys like it. Please plea...

Update 0.74 - Keisuke

Good afternoon and happy holidays!

I hope you've all been having a blast with your end of year/new year celebrations. Thankfully since I live alone, it was no big deal for me to keep working to get the update done in time. I'm actually happy that I didn't go against the clock this one. Fini...

Update 0.73 - Shoichi (Good/Medium Path)

Good evening,

Bringing you guys right now the latest Shoichi update. It ended up not being quite as long as usual, sadly, but I had to decide between cutting out a scene that I wanted to end the update on or rushing through it and not doing it justice. As it's supposed to be an important sc...

Update 0.72 - Jun

Good evening,

Hope you're all enjoying the festivities. At least for those who celebrate Halloween. I don't, so I can't really pretend to know what it's like haha

This update was a bit of a buzzer beater. I realized only a few days ago that I couldn't fit everything I had planned onto...

Update 0.71 - Shoichi ("bad" path)

Good evening everyone,

I apologize for the two and a half day delay. I've been trying to get everything done, having planned to finish the writing for the update around the 21st or so of last month, but I struggled to properly balance such a sensitive topic given where his previous update e...

Update 0.70 - Keisuke (Hotfix)

Good evening everyone,

Sorry for being a day late on this one. I was trying to finish it yesterday, but couldn't quite fit everything I wanted into the update by then.

This ended up being a weird one for me, as I addressed a lot of events that were a while coming from previous updates...

Update 0.69 - Shoichi (Hotfix)

Good evening, everyone,

In the end, I struggled a ton to do this update. I'm starting to wrap up all the loose threads in Shoichi's route, and handling one of the most important (and long-lasting) ones well was driving me up a wall. In the end, I want to give special thanks to Choky, Rudder...

Small delay

Hey everyone,

Quick update here. I was trying to push up the clock to finish the update here, but along with my cat's vet appointments (to get all his shots + his castration in 12 hours) and family visiting as of recently, I'm still not quite done. I should finish up in the coming week so l...

Update 0.68 - Jun

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the incredibly late update. I ended up rewriting two specific scenes here a few times as I realized my initial plans for them were a tad... too cruel. Maybe it's speaks to my mind state, but I'm a bit tired of making Yuuichi suffer overmuch, so I toned those down a f...

Concept Art (Future VN)

As offered in my post yesterday, I asked if you guys would be interested in seeing some concept art of my next project (that is still far in the future, for after TA is finished) and all the ones that replied were curious to see. Therefore, here I am bringing the goods!

Keep in mind, this i...

Somewhat late update

Just to let you guys know so you're not wondering, I'm a little late this month. Was trying to get the update done in time, but had a few technical issues on my end. Most recently, my router went kapoot and I had to spend all day waiting for a technician to come and replace it... and then they mi...

Update 0.67 - Haruki

Good evening,

I know the timing is a bit suspect, but this update was supposed to have come out yesterday, so no, it's not an April Fool's joke. Regardless, I hope you guys enjoy this one. I definitely struggled a bit at a specific part, but hopefully it doesn't come across too badly. Still...

Merch Announcement

Good evening everyone,

It is with great excitement that I come here to show off something Pawprint and I have been working on for a while. With the help of Fruitz (@FruitzJam) and Nyaruh (2024-03-10 02:35:30 +0000 UTC View Post
