You may have noticed, as of last year, try as I might, I ended up going into a major hiatus. It was a tough year for me, especially emotionally, and this year has been quite the wild ride too. Just one thing after another, as my teammates know from all the update e-mails I've been sending. But I'm happy to announce that as things have finally improved, I will slowly return to dev work. Many WiPs will have to be put on hiatus, but here's the plans as of now:

We will be participating in this year's So Bad It's Good! Jam

Get ready for another bonkers, crazy, comedic, nonsensical, filled with plot holes story with voice acting! SBIG is officially starting June 28th, and what better way to enter to get back in the game than with a really, really stupid game? lol. Oh, how I've missed this. I dunno what the modifiers will be yet, but I'm gonna just list out ideas and just figure out how to incorporate it. So look forward to a little something from us this summer.

Since When Did I Have a Combat Butler?! will be getting a fandisc!

I've talked a little about wanting to delve into the pre-canon events of ComBu, especially the story of Devin and Lillian. Well, guess what? It's finally happening! To celebrate its upcoming 5 year anniversary next year, we will be releasing a fandisc that is full of multiple pre-canon stories. Not only will it include the times of the characters in their original world, but also the early times of Sora, Annelise, Jason, and Emily! I even plan to include a few scenes that happened during the events of ComBu that I originally wanted in the game but had to scrap for time. Development for that will start after summer, or the latest, near the end of the year so we can release it in time. I'll be making a list of the priority stories, since I may not have each story written out but I can always tack them on later in updates. Quality over quantity! And yes, it will be fully voiced -- most of the original cast are on board!

Rebellion of Gilfer's Bay ACT I

Yes, Crystal Captor's and The Cursed Tower's sequel will finally be seeing the light of day. I want to make RoGB's first act playable before the year ends, or at least get a good chunk of it ready. I'll do a final reconfirmation with my cast, to see if any recastings are needed, and during the time I await responses I'll just start eventing and mapping. So aside from the upcoming SBIG jam, this will be my priority.

Fateful Encounter new demo

An updated demo for FE will be coming sometime this year. I will also be completing Tsuki's route since all the CGs for it are done, and I may even release it with just that route so there's a full route playable whilst I work on the others. No dates set for this yet.

And that's it! Please look forward to the return of TSV!
