Hearthfire Build 1.0

Well, here it is! The final chapter.

Hopefully it was worth the wait! We get to see the last of the story wrap up. We'll probably have future quality of life updates where we fix up the code, but you can consider Hearthfire's story finished.

That being said, I wanted to give everyone who's signed up for the Patreon our heartfelt thanks! Without you guys, we wouldn't have had nearly as many assets as we do now.

So, what's in store for the future?

Well, we've got a Heart...

Final Chapter Heads Up!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the final chapter should be up on Friday!

Thanks for your patience~

Hearthfire Tales: Touchdown

Hey there! Hope you guys had a happy holiday!

We've got the next Hearthfire Tale ready for you! This time, it's about Darryl! We get to see more about his backstory and relationship with Chris in this one!

Also, we're getting the final chapter fixed up this month! Turns out that holidays and cons are a busy time of year! So, thank you for your patience!

You've spoken!

And we agree! It's best if we delay the next update for another month, that way you guys can get the full experience for the final chapter.

That being said, we've got another Hearthfire Tales! Look forward to the backstory between Darryl and Chris at the start of April!

Final Chapter Delay!

Hey guys! I wanted to ask a question!

While the story is complete for the final chapter, there's going to be a bit of a delay for our CG assets. Would you guys rather see the story released on the first of April, or wait another month and get the whole package?

Hearthfire Build 0.12.1

It's the penultimate update!

Thanks everyone for your patience! We'll have CG assets finished by the time of the public release.

Also look forward to another Hearthfire Tales at the start of next month!

EDIT: We've updated the link to the final version!

Hearthfire Tales

Hey there! Hope everyone had a good holiday!

I'm starting things by revealing a short series of stories I'm going to be uploading! They'll be about various scenes that aren't covered in the VN, or from perspectives besides Chris.

We're kicking off the first one with a story about Yuka and Philip! As much as I tried to have them a focus in that chapter, I couldn't quite frame the private intimacy between them with Chris' first person perspective.

We've also got a juicy illust...

Hearthfire Build 0.11

Hey guys! We've got Build 0.11 up and ready to go!

This one is still a little unfinished with the CG assets, but we'll have an updated version out later!

Anniversary + Update 0.10

Wow! Hard to believe it's been an entire year already!

The support for Hearthfire has been amazing, and we couldn't have gotten this far without our viewers, and most importantly, Patrons!

That being said, we've got update 0.10 out now! Look forward to two new CGs with this build!

0.9.1 Update

Hey there! Figured I'd let everyone know that the latest build is up on the itch.io page now! It's got the revamped Chris sprites and a colored/shaded version of the latest CG!

In other news, we're already working on getting the next chapter programmed in for next month~

Patch 0.9 Release

Hey there! Thanks for being patient!

This patch is a little rougher than our usual. We're working on new Chris sprites, so if he seems a little spaced out right now, that's okay!

We'll also have colors and shading on the CG at a later date as well when it's finished~

Like always, if you find any bugs or issues - or just want to leave a comment - you can reply to this post!

Progress Update!

Just wanted to let you guys know that we're busily programming up the next chapter now! It'll be available at the end of the month~

Just wanted to thank everyone for being patient with our bi-monthly schedule! Your continued support helps us fuel additional CGs and other assets for future builds~

Version 0.8 Release

Hey there! Thanks for being patient with our new bi-monthly schedule!

We've got two new CGs by Wildside this time around! Plus, we've managed to implement a few previously-teased sprite reworks by ArcWuff!

The second CG will be getting some additional changes upon full release, so if things look a little static (or lack there of, hehe,) don't wor...

Upcoming Sprite Revamps!

Hey there! I just wanted to share some previews with our patrons involving the new sprites!

Our favorite three side characters get a makeover! The doctor gets a little more personality while Yuka gets a complete overhaul.

Look forward to seeing them soon!

Bi-Monthly Re-scheduling

Hey there! I'm sure some of you may have read the previous (now-deleted) post about switching to a bi-monthly schedule:

Hey there everybody!

We've come to a decision that, after missing quite a few monthly deadlines for our Patreon releases, switching to a bi-monthly schedule would be a much better fit for this project.

It turns out that making a VN is tough business! There's a lot of moving parts, and it can be hard to get everyt...

Build 0.7.1 Release

Thanks for waiting! We've got our next release all tidied up and ready to go!

Like always, if you see any bugs or have issues, let us know in the comment section of this post.

Update soon!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know the next build is on its way! We just need to finalize a few assets and do a once-over before we upload.

Build 6.0 Release

Hey there!

We've got build 6.0 all fixed up! We've got two new CGs as well as a brief flash of a new character!

We appreciate your patience with us so far, and want to offer our thanks!

Also! If you come across any bugs or typos, be please let us know in the comment section of this post!

Update soon!

Just a heads up that we're putting the finishing touches on the next chapter! 

It'll be available for download in the coming days, so keep an eye out for the next post~

Thank you!

We've had a surge of patrons recently, and I just wanted to thank everybody for the support so far!

With your help, we've managed to gather funds to bring on an artist for CGs for our project!

So, look forward to those in the future as we continue to crank out chapters~

Patch 0.5

The story continues!

It seems that Chris' fall leaves him a little dazed, allowing us to learn more about his backstory in the meantime~

We've got a new CG that's been done by Arcwuff and SolaceLunis! You'll find it at the end of the previous chapter if you go back a little~

Patch 0.4.2ex

And here it is! The rewrite of the beginning is complete along with a few changes here and there for story flow. 

We also have the introduction of the revamped Tonraq sprite as well!

This new version also contains a CG by Wildside! It might take some digging to get to, but watch out for that tub scene~

Slight Delay!

Hey guys! Just another quick update!

Sadly, due to holidays and the illnesses that seem to tag-team along with them, there's going to be some slight delay with the release of the rework.

It shouldn't take long, though!

Just a heads-up!

The next release for January is going to be a little different than our usual updates! Instead of continuing story, we dedicated the majority of December for cleaning up the narrative and adding new assets!

What are we getting?

A complete Tonraq overhaul! It uses a new sprite system that allows us to have more dynamic expressions!

We also have a rewrite of the opening! After getting some comments about pacing, I went back and cleaned up a few things. The flow of events is th...

Patch 0.4.1

Hey there! Nothing major with this update, just a few bug fixes!

You can install it like normal and continue where you left off.

Build 0.4!

Hey guys! Build 0.4 of Hearthfire is available for download!

Otter and bear finish up their business before heading out to the mountain's peak. Tonraq opens up more for our otter, meanwhile Chris wrestles with the harrowing hike to the top of the mountain.

Thanks for being patient and waiting!~

Technical Difficulties!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you know that the next build for Hearthfire is going to be delayed for a few days!

We just need to get the finishing touches and it'll be ready to go soon!

Sprite Revamps!

Looks like we've got some sprite reworks up in the future, so here's a comparison!

We're going to be going through the cast starting with Tonraq and Chris revamps!

While these won't be in the next update, you can look forward to seeing the new versions in a future patch!~

Build 0.3!

Welcome to the third chapter of Hearthfire!

Chris continues his exploration of Iskut while meeting a few new faces along the way! Meanwhile, we learn a little more about Tonraq as the bear opens up a little further for our protagonist~

Installation is the same as usual! PC and Mac is unzip and run, while Android follows the prompts to install the APK.

New Update Soon!

It's almost the beginning of next month! That means we're going to have the next chapter for Hearthfire uploaded here tomorrow.

Like usual, all Patrons get early access to the latest chapter~
