Hi, everybody.
I hope you've had a great week. Here's what we have worked on since our last report:
Chestnut:
Chestnut dedicated her week to a very complex background with interactable objects that is twice as wide as our other backgrounds. The extra width is so that we can also use it as a cutscene in a specific event that requires character sprites to transition between locations.
Pistachio:
I wrote a few ...

Hi, everybody.
I hope you're all doing well and have had a fantastic week. Here's a summary of our progress:
Chestnut:
Last week, Chestnut completed four cutscenes; three from the first quest and one from the second quest. I have used placeholder art for the cutscenes corresponding to Gomira's first quest, and I'm excited to replace them with the final artwork while making any necessary text/posing adjustments. Additionally, Chestnut finished crea...

Hi, everybody.
Chestnut has finished the achievement art for the 0.7 update -- there will be five -- and we'd like to share a video from the creation of two of them. This video is at x5 speed, and I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers

Hi, everybody.
I hope you've had a good week and are ready to enjoy your weekend. Chestnut and I have been busy, and here's a summary of our work:
Chestnut worked primarily on new backgrounds, finishing one and advancing another one. She also did some work on a cutscene and prepared the buttons needed for another.
I advanced a great deal with the posing tasks of the finale of Gomira's first quest and will finish it next week. Additionally, I coded in several event changes an...

Hi, everybody.
I hope you're all doing well. Here's a summary of what we have done since the last report:
Chestnut:
She finished the last sprite we were missing for 0.7, and although it still needs facial expressions and hands/gestures, it's good to see the design aspect completed. In addition, she worked on two work-in-progress cutscenes and started and almost finished (her work for the weekend) another looping background/cutscene.

Hi, everybody.
I hope you're all doing well.
Last week, we started a poll to determine which towns and World locations people are most eager to see, and although we're not going to post the results as this poll doesn't have an end date, it's still interesting to check it out and see how different towns are faring so far (and vote if you haven't already). It's perh...

Hi, everybody.
First of all, if you haven't checked it out yet, we posted a poll today to find out what World locations our patrons are more interested in seeing. Since this poll will not directly determine future updates' content, all patrons can participate.
Now the report:

Hi, everybody.
With each update, we make the World of our game a little bigger, and although that usually takes the form of new background locations, we also have other towns and cities on the World map to unlock gradually. Although what will be added depends on the character we're working on, we're curious to learn what our patrons like to see first.
So:
What cities/towns seen on the World map would you like to see next?
A few points:

I hope you're all doing well and are looking forward to your weekend. First of all, I want to thank all of you who left comments on the last week's report, urging us to not neglect our health and continue to take Sundays off. I just want to say that we will go ahead with our plan of working 7 days a week, but I can assure you that we will take a day off every now and then if we feel that we need a break.

I hope you're all doing well. Before outlining our work since the last report, we do have a small announcement:
We're aware that people are eager to play the 0.7 content, and we wish to see this release completed as soon as possible too. So to speed up the development, we have decided to stop taking Sundays off, starting this weekend. You can expect the daily progress to be updated seven days a week until the release.

I hope you've had a good week. Here's what we did:
Chestnut:
She worked on two unfinished backgrounds advancing quite a bit, and also did two images from a large cutscene. The images were pretty sexy, and we did consider sharing them as spoilers but decided against it since they sort of lead to a sex scene, and we like to keep those for the release.

Hi, everybody.
In most of our updates we have had paintings displayed around the world -- usually slightly more NSFW versions of famous works -- and for the 0.7 release, too, we're going to have one such artwork. This one, though, is not based on any famous painting and is designed by Chestnut herself. Please note that due to its location, this artwork doesn't need more detail. You can see its creation process in this video at x6 speed.

Regarding the base work, Chestnut continued her work on sprites, doing skin variations for Karl and other guards and a few hands for Mei. When testing, she found many things that require...

I'm happy to start this report by saying that we've had a very good week workwise: I've been helping Chestnut with the kids, and so she has been able to advance several of her tasks.

Hi, everybody.
I hope your week has been a good one. Here's a summary of our work:
Chestnut finished her art of the backgrounds and wanted to do more, but she was kept incredibly busy with the baby and the housework. On the plus side, I visited the hospital today and was told that the x-ray images show that the bone is healing well and that I can start putting my weight on the operated leg. This means that I can slowly help around the house and with the baby, enabling Chestnut to ...
