Important Annoucement

Hey Friends

There is an important announcement for today. It will add changes to our original NT schedule.

The artist and I were talking extensively over the past few days, and we decided that we needed to finish one more thing before moving to Neon Touch.

Many of you remember our ancient Roman game called No More Golden Days (For any who have not,, it’s basically a short VN we did three years ago, a lewd tragedy taking place in Ancient Rome)

Now, this is very important. NMGD will not continue in its original form (VN game). Instead, we will do a 20-30 page interactive (much like Choose-your-adventure) manga to finish this story.

We already have a lot of sketches and unfinished art assets for Act 2 and even for the beginning of Act 3 before we decided to put it on hold a few years ago. So we are already at a comfortable place to start.

The manga will include the previous scenes and story, so for those who haven’t gotten a chance to play NMGD, the manga will cover the entire plot.

The reason for all this is that the artist and I had a mutual worry, that once we launch and commit to Neon Touch’s development, there wouldn’t be any opportunity for us to go back and finish the story we started.

We definitely don’t want to put NMGD on hold forever, and as you can see, things pile up quickly since we’re now looking at 3 years without bringing the story to a conclusion.

So, we figured if there’s a good opportunity to finish it, it’s now.

And yes, it will have a significant effect on Neon Touch’s development, so here is the estimated schedule from Studio Kuma for the rest of 2022:

• No More Golden Days Manga - Development starts today, till the end of September.

       20-30 Pages, Weekly update starting Next Week

• We will update on a very frequent basis - whenever a page is finished, we’ll post it. Our current estimate is that we could have around four pages done each week with the art assets in our stockpile. So basically we could update it on a weekly basis, starting next week, until the end of September.

• Neon Touch - Initial Launch rescheduled to Christmas Eve.

• We will pause monthly exclusive art for three months (From June to August) because the artist will be working a lot of overtime (with overtime pay) until the end of August to deliver the mange. There are a lot of pages to be done XD 

So in sum, we’ll start doing the NMGD manga right away, Our writer Wildquill is looking over the outlines and by next week you should be able to see the first page (including the front page, the intro, and all the stuff that goes before the 1st page of actual drawings) of it.

The plan is to update it on a weekly basis until it’s finished.

Then we’ll switch gears and finish the first update of Neon Touch, which would be out before Xmas.

I can’t express how we appreciate you for being so patient with us, thanks for being here with us, and I hope you guys would enjoy this hard-core manga we are about to bring you.

Thanks for reading the update. Enjoy your Friday.
