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. And in case Patreon decides to freak out and refuses to load the video, click here to open it!
In this video, not only can you...

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 end next month @.@
Hopefully, the content in this update should still be good regardless! I hope you all stay safe and are doing alright!
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 swamping her with work lately (both for this update as well as getting assets in advance for future updates).
I appreciate you guys' patience. Stay safe, everyone!...

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 time but I managed it somehow. It definitely won't become the norm anytime soon though, that's for sure (having to fall back on lack of sleep and caffeine sucks). A lot of i...

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 honest, Nyaruh did a hell of a great job with the art piece for this update. I hope you all will enjoy it too!
This one is a bit different from previous upda...
2020-04-03 03:16:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey 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 worked on a proof of concept for a possible future project of his and is asking for feedback of it on his Patreon. I've had the honor of trying it out a few hours ago before h...
2020-04-01 03:06:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey 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 rushed or having to pull any kinds of all-nighters (only one of the people working in this project is allowed to be irresponsible like that).
I thank you all for your ...

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, thank you everyone once again for all your support! Kei-kun has finally gotten his big first date. Or at least the official one!

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. The owner of the store has reached out to me though and let me know that the factory is open again but that, since orders backed up during the time it was closed, it would...

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.
In this update, we start getting a little more complex on the branching paths. There are quite a few different variations that players can get depending on their choi...

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 really stressful things piling up in my personal life for the past few months which resulted in me deciding to take a break and go out of town/stay away from everything for...

Hey guys!
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 available for pre-orders! Head to the link here to buy it in both the covered and uncovered versions!
Hey there, everyone!
Thank you all again for the patience you've shown me with this second delay. End of year/start of year is really a hectic time and I definitely underestimated that. Hopefully this update will have been worth the wait!

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 than five or six days to get it done.
Once again, I'm sorry, especially for giving the notice so late. I really thought if I pushed myself I'd be able to get it done...

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!
On the upside, this gives the chance to get one more art asset possibly finished to add in this demo! I'll tease one of them on Twitter when I get home.

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. Hopefully I'll have been able to put out something up to the quality standard you guys are used to. As for myself, I really need to pass out right now. I've only slept 4 hours in the last 65 hours...

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 to move in November but an amazing apartment was listed at a great price and I couldn't risk losing it to someone else so I moved one month early to make sure I got it! 2019-10-01 01:10:15 +0000 UTC View Post

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 slightly bigger) than previous updates, because it only covered one in-game day everyone kept telling me they thought it was short. I just want people to know that all my ...

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!
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.
I'm sorry to come by with this two months in a row but last month's delay actually hurt my schedule more than I thought it would.

Man, this update was tough to write. I was having serious issues getting the writing to flow at all and was feeling like flipping my table half the time I worked on it. I was THAT frustrated.

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 invited to take part in a recital for the music school I go to (singing) and have to spend some time at rehearsals to make sure I don't mess up during the live performan...
