New Content

  • Implemented Crystal Currency: The small icon on the bottom left was intended to work as a sort of mana or extra currency for the player.
    • Players now start with 100 Crystal Charge at the beginning of the game.

Crystal Road - Change Log v0.0.7

This one's a HUGE list. The vast majority of the month was spent polishing and making sure that bugs were taken care of. If things go as planned, it should be smooth sailing with the next update now that a lot of these are out of the way.

  • Implemented Mail Box/Mail System: This was done as a solution for what happens when the player is walking around with a full inventory and an NPC tries to give them more items. We floated a few ...

We've been informed that most adult games are currently not available on Steam in Germany due to some court issue that were having trouble finding info on. This is incredibly troubling for us since our second largest player base is Germany.

Time to Unveil Our New Project!

We're a little over two weeks since the announcement of Project Oni's rework/cancellation and it's finally time to share some info for our next project. While we’re coming up with a name for this game, we'll be calling it Project Dream Farm.

Here’s a synopsis we’ve written up:

Player has always had strange visions of her future, which to date, have never failed to come true. At times, the visions are simple enough. It’s going to rain t...

A Painful Decision Has Been Made

Hey guys, the title may be a bit alarming but we’re at a bit of a breaking point behind the scenes.

Project Oni/Almageist is Getting Reworked.

We recently had an exit survey that confirmed our fears that supporters aren’t liking Project Oni and where it’s heading. This coupled with the natural bleeding of pledges over time since Cappuccino’s launch is kind of forcing us to come to terms with some hard truths about the industry and the game we’re making.<...

Small Live Stream! Working on a Sprite Sheet!

EDIT: Continuing work on this today! Doku didn't get to finish last time and we're trying to get into the habit of streaming more often!

The Tentakero Patreon Revamp is Here!

We’re moving forward with our page revamp and are here to talk about what’s changing for Patrons! In general, our page is being shifted to have a larger focus on Project Oni. (Working title.) Some changes such as banners and page description will be more gradual since we’ll be making those as we prepare more artwork for the game.

NEW TIERS

This is the exciting part! Since Project Oni is in an early state, some of these rewards will be retroactive. This means...

Quick Announcement Regarding Upcoming Patreon Sales Tax

We’ve got something unpleasant but unavoidable to talk about. As some of you may have heard, Patreon is being required to add sales tax to pledges in some states.

The full details can be read here. 

There’s unfortunately not much that can be done, but if you are in a state that now requires the tax, you may see a small increase in the pledge charge when the change rolls out....

Small Stream today!

Hey guys, hope you’ve all been doing well. Unfortunately, we won’t be having an April fools joke this year since Project Oni is in too early of a state for us to stick little easter eggs into just yet. Not to mention that most of the world isn’t exactly in a mood for jokes at the moment.

However, what we will be doing, is a small stream! Doku had to open commissions briefly due to some medical bills and the slots were filled up almost immediately. One of the art requests was of So...

There will likely be a second batch of merch down the road as we gauge interest and flesh out some characters from Project Oni.

The Lucretia Update is Here!

We’ve added the sassy shopkeeper to Free Play mode in our latest and final update to Project Cappuccino.

Lucretia can now be unlocked by purchasing all toys in story mode. If you already have an existing save file with everything purchased, simply head into the shop and it will trigger the special unlock dialogue! From there, she’ll become accessible in Free Play mode permanently. (Or until you delete all your save data.)

Along with this, we’ve also fixed a few bugs:...

Regarding the Sprite Improvements

Hey guys,

Doku and I have come to a decision that we aren’t exactly happy about, but felt was necessary. As we were working on the sprite reworks, we realized that it wasn’t coming out the way we imagined and we were sinking way too much time into it.

As development progressed on Project Cappuccino, Doku’s art style subtly changed as she gained experience. This leads to a slightly j...

Hey guys, we just wanted to make a quick post to let you know that follow up messages have been sent to patrons that may not have responded to their initial code redemption email for Project Cappuccino.
