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 ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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 ...

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 l...

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 ...

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 wou...

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 ...

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 ar...

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...

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 b...

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...

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 ...

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 sh...

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 res...

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...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 eve...

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 e...

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 quit...

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 ...

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...

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 tec...

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...

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<...
