Hello! We are now two weeks into the new year. Can you believe it?!

We are back with the part 2 of our 2024 year end roundup. Without further ado, let us dive right into it! [Image heavy post below]

2024 July - Logo Designs and Side Characters Reveal

2024 August - Post-campaign Survey and Megumi Completed Character Sprite

After our Kickstarter campaign ended, we conducted a post-campaign survey to gather feedback regarding our game demo and our crowdfunding campaign. Thank you to everyone who filled the survey! We appreciate the constructive feedback and advice, as well as the heartwarming comments we received. We will work to integrate changes based on your feedback to create a fun and unforgettable experience!

2024 September - Key Visual Reveal and Atsuya Completed Character Sprite

2024 October - Revamped GUI

2024 November - Katsuya Completed Character Sprite

What’s next?

Whew! This roundup turned out longer than we expected, but it shows that the past half-year had been very busy for us, and we are proud of what we have achieved in the short span of time.

As we have mentioned in previous updates, our project lead Hinata Yoyo has recently relocated to Japan, and we have found it difficult to work on the game consistently between the time difference and the heavy workload at our day jobs. Due to the slow pace of development, Ko-fi updates are now monthly instead of weekly. We will make an announcement once we have an estimate for a release date, so be sure to follow our X (Twitter) account or Bluesky account for the latest news!

Check out our Tumblr page for project status and other information!

We hope you enjoyed this roundup. Thank you for reading and see you again soon!
