UI Showcase

Hey there, you guys!

I'm pretty excited to show this to you all. The UI has been officially finished. All the assets (portraits, day transitions, date overlay) have been ported over to it and it's now fully functional.

Update 0.39 - Keisuke

tennisace post Update 0.39 - Keisuke from patreon

Hey there, everyone!

I'm sorry for the delay. I ended up taking about twelve or so hours longer than I initially intended to release this demo. My college professors dumped a lot of new work on top of us the past week because we're over two months late on our classes due to the pandemic and the semester is supposed to e...

Delay Notice

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? Hope you guys have been staying safe lately.

I'm coming here real quick to let you all know that the next demo will be delayed for about three to four days. Nyaruh has asked me for a little extra time to complete the art for this month, which is pretty fair considering that I've been...

tennisace post Update 0.38 - Shoichi (Hotfix) from patreon

Hey there, everyone!

I hope you guys have all stayed safe over the past little while. I'm here to bring you all the latest TA update! This one was... an experience to work with. This update ended up being legitimately a bit over twice the size of a regular TA update. I was super stressed trying to get it all done in tim...

Hey there, everyone!

I hope you're all doing well! This update is finally ready to be released. Like I had said before when I released the notice of delay, I wanted this to be absolutely perfect so I waited a little longer to make sure I had the art needed to release with this one, it just felt weird without it. I'll be...

A Plug for a Fellow Creator (Password)

Hey there, everyone!

As you guys already know, I've had to postpone the latest TA demo for a few days due to some issues my artist was having. In the meantime, I thought you guys could use something else to go over until everything was ready to be published. Grizz - the developer of the Password visual novel - has worke...

Early Delay Notice

Hey there, everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know as soon as possible: Nyaruh has been having some big personal problems (which are not mine to disclose the nature of) for the past week or so and I'm delaying the next by 4 days or so. That way she'll have time to finish the new CG for the update without feeling rus...

Update 0.36 - Keisuke

tennisace post Update 0.36 - Keisuke from patreon

Hello!

I am a little conflicted here. I was totally supposed to be 100% on time this month... but I got sick two days ago and ended up losing an entire day without being able to work. As a result, I'm about five hours late on this update. The bitterness that I feel over that fact cannot be described =.=

Either way...

Short Delay on Daki Shipments

Hey everyone.

I just wanted to let you all know that the store I'm selling my dakis through has had a setback during production. Their factory had to close for a while due to the corovonavirus crisis in China (I didn't ask for many details on this so admittedly I'm not super privy about them) and orders got backed up. T...

tennisace post Update 0.35 - Shoichi from patreon

Good morning, everyone!

So, I am a little bit pleased with myself because I didn't end up needing the full 48 hours. Took me about 32 hours to finish the update and spent the past few hours having someone playtest  it for me  after my own personal round of playtesting to try and get it as clean as possible. View Post

Short Delay (48 hours)

Hey there, it's me again.

As you guys know, the past few months have been difficult. I've been slowly catching back up on work and dealing with the snowballing effect that happened after that first delay a few months ago. I'll be honest and say that I probably would have been in the clear this month but I've had some re...

It's taken a while to get here from when I initially posted that poll but I wanted to be diligent with every step along the way to make sure things would be as solid as possible. The Shoichi daki will be sold through an online store (which was recommended to me by another creator that also uses it!) and is now...

Next Build Delayed

Hello everyone.

I'm really sorry to be delaying a build for the second month in a row. Writing has been really tough for me this last month and I don't really want to make any excuses for it, I just don't have the update finished in time. Hopefully I should have it done in the next few days. Ideally it won't take more t...

Short Delay Notice - Happy Holidays

Hey there everyone!

First of all, just want to let you all know I'll be delaying the next demo for a few days (4 to 5). I've been really busy preparing for the music festival and wasn't able to get the work to a quality I can be satisfied with. And I'd rather not rush it out cause then it won't be up to my standards!

Thank you All!

Hey everyone!

Today is Thank your Patrons day. I wanted to take a moment to really just thank you all.

Hey there.

This... was a really tough month to work. I already talked about it more at length in my author's notes at the end of this update but with my move, packing up for the move, unpacking and all that I actually was REALLY strapped for time for this update.

Hello everyone!

This one is coming out just two hours before midnight. I really want to stop with all this last minute releasing but this month was pretty hectic. I'm likely going to move next week (or in 10 days at the latest) and so I've been organizing. This move was kinda last minute, I was only originally supposed ...

Hey there, everyone!

I think this is the first time I didn't struggle a ton writing a Keisuke update in recent memory. It's a nice break from the usual routine with him.

Also, I wanted to clarify something with the last Shoichi update that was released last month: even though the update was the same size (if not s...

Hey hey hey, I come in with the buzzer beater (23:51 here)!

Man, considering how long I was away (17 days away from home) and how I had delayed the demo last month, I am shocked at how much work I was able to get done. But alas, I told myself that I absolutely refused to be late three months in a roll and goddamnit, I m...

Hey there!

Sorry again for the delay. I was able to get this done in time and am pretty okay with how it came out. This time we deal with the results of Jun's failed confession during the fireworks display. How do things progress from there? Does it get awkward? Find out now!

Delay Notice (3 days)

Hey guys.

I regrettably come by to let you all know, because of last month's one week delay, I tried my best to get this update done in time but I don't think there's any way I can reasonable finish it by the 30th. As such, I'll be delaying the update by 3 days.

Delay Notice

Hey guys.

I'm sorry to say this but I'm dropping by to say that the next demo will be delayed for around a week. This month I had a lot of trouble getting the writing to flow how I wanted it to (it seems to be a reocurring issue when it comes to Keisuke, for some reason writing for him always stumps me). Plus, I've been...

Hey guys.

Over the last few months I've gotten asked this question quite a few times: would I ever sell dakis of the characters? I always said that I don't really see the public interest being big enough for me to do something like that since it has a lot of costs. Well, today I got asked again and I decided to just... ...
