Hi everyone! We've just hit $200 a month, which means.....
That's right! The theme for this months exclusive art poll is: Coffee Shop AU!
One lucky boy will get an exclusive, modern illustration, only available to Patrons.
Vote away!
Hi everyone!
Here's the newest CG that has gone into the demo - Fawn and Raen's first meeting!
This means that we only have ONE CG to go before everything is ready! Yay! Huge thanks to Fuyuure for their hard work yet again.
Keep an eye out for something special today!
Hi everyone!
Fuyuure has just finished up with these CGS! Raen's looking both beautiful and handsome in the morning forest light.
That means we only have 2 more CGs to go until they're all finished! Yay!
We'll upload a new build of the beta demo later today that includes this, atmospheric shading and additional voice acting.
Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone!

Hope you all enjoy this early look!

Hi everyone!
I hope you're all enjoying the demo (if you've gotten to try it!). Anyone that has would've seen this before, and I hope it'll convince anyone that hasn't to go check it out.
We can't wait to show you guys the finished CGs! In the meantime, come join our discord and tell us what you think about the demo so far: https://discord.gg/D5sX5Qs
Thanks again guys!
*UPDATED BUILD*
Hello everyone!
Yes, you've read that right. It's finally time! Well, kind of.
We've decided to start the beta process early for all of our wonderful patrons. This is the full demo, but an earlier build for testing.
It includes nearly everything you'll see in the full release of the demo, but is missing a few things. Here's what we're working on before the full release + ki...

Hi everyone!
Fuyuure has finished sketching all remaining CGs for the demo! Yay!
Here's one of the six images we were just sent - both an introduction to Fawn and Raen's fine booty.
Thanks Fuyuure <3
Now that all placeholders have been removed, we're going to start focussing on polishing up the effects and getting the last voice lines recorded (one walla group session, plus the narrator and Septam, and we'll be releasing a beta build for patrons!&nb...

Hi everyone!
Here's a little preview of an in-game CG - Raen's first meeting with Leos!
Because who wouldn't trust a guy with daggers at his hip and a whip on his back.
Enjoy!
2019-03-28 00:27:13 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone!
It's been a little while since our last update, but we've been working super hard to polish off the demo and finish our remaining tasks.
So, we'll start with what we've been up to lately:
Hi everyone!
Stefani has been hard at work on the cleanup for the animation. You can see some of her amazing updates above, with a lot of work on Cyne.
Stefani has recently set up a Patreon under the name Kino Animations, so make sure to go check her out!
Hi everyone!
Here's a sketch of Raen's next sprite - undressed!
We plan to have an undressed sprite for each character + a winter outfit, so look out for that.
We'll share the completed sprite in the coming days!
2019-03-20 02:55:51 +0000 UTC View Post
Who's this asshole, then...?
It's none other than Leos!
Leos features in a small part of the demo, so of course he has to have a CG too. We can't wait to put it in the game and hear his voice alongside it!
Hi everyone!
Today, we're also sharing some else Speaker related - his animation is now getting cleaned up! I hope you've enjoyed what you've seen so far.
We'll post another clip soon, plus a couple of new sketches!
Hi everyone!
The Speaker's birthday is coming up on the 20th, and what other way to celebrate would there be!
As thanks to our patrons, you get to view the gif early! I wonder whose hand that is....?
A small update - we've now recorded all lines for the main cast! All we have left is a few lines from side characters now. If you haven't already, check out some of the previews in our discord and on twitter.
After this, we'll be working on a few more CGs, including ...

Fuyuure has finished another two sketches of CGs that will feature in the demo. Here's one of them! I wonder what's going on....?
Also, we've begun implementing voice acting! Our wonderful VAs really make the cast come alive. You can hear a sample of Raen on our twitter, and a sample of Leos on our discord!
Hi everyone!
Fuyuure just sent us TWO completed CGs of the Speaker. We're keeping some things a surprise for the demo, but feast your eyes on this handsome man!
Next, we're working on another solo Raen CG + The Speaker's birthday illustration, since his birthday is coming up soon!

Hi everyone!
For those that don't know, we ran a poll on twitter to see who would get the next themed art. The winner was Fawn! Yay!
Here he is in all his glory - isn't he just gorgeous!
Hi everyone!
Fuyuure has just got back to us with some brand new sketches. Check out the second ver. of the Speaker's first CG!
We're also working on the Matrons sprites, which should be ready today or tomorrow, and Fawn's art for winning our newest poll!
Enjoy!

Hello again everyone!
Please give a warm welcome to Miah, another orphan that lives with Raen and Tobias. She and Tobias are basically inseperable, and are like brother and sister to each other, despite coming from different families.
Miah also looks up to Raen, who's teaching her how to do practical skills, like gardening and sewing.
Hi everyone!
Here's Tobias' finished sprite that Fuyuure has just finished up on. Isn't he adorable?
You'll get to meet this cute boy early on in the demo, and further along in the game too. Look forward to it!
Hi everyone!
Here's the last of our characters to reveal for the demo - the Matron that runs the orphanage Raen, Tobias and Miah live in!
She's tough, but kind, and only wants the best for Raen and the rest of the kids. Raen really looks up to her, and she taught him how to cook, clean, sew and garden.
Hi everyone!
Yesterday we introduced you to Miah, and now it's Tobias' turn! The two kids both heavily look up to Raen, and to Raen they are family.
Miah and Tobias aren't actually related, but since they were brought up together they are basically brother and sister.
We have one more member of the orphanage family to introduce you to tomorrow!
Hi everyone!
Today, we're showing off a brand new character sketch. Meet Miah!
You'll get to see more about her in the demo (and further in to the game!) but I hope you can enjoy this little sneak peek into this adorable little girl :D
Look out for more sketches in the next few days!

Hi everyone!
Fuyuure has been working super hard, and she's just finished up with this set of CGs! What could the letter be...?
Next, she'll work on three additional sprites for the demo, and the next CG. We'll be keeping some of these a secret, but look forward to new sprite sketches soon!
Thanks again for all of your support!
Hi everyone!
Today, Niken has sent us the completed illustration for our main menu, and we absolutely love it. The use of color, and the contrast between the Speaker and the main cast is exactly how we wanted it.
I hope you all love it too! I think a print of it would look gorgeous!
Hello everyone!
With all of our body pillows now complete, we can move on to in-game content! The first of all being a CG of our main character, Raen!
After this we only have a couple more sprites + CGs to complete and that aspect of our demo will be complete.
Please enjoy!

Ta-dah! Side 2 of the Speakers Daki! The NSFW version, of course.
Enjoy!
Hello everyone!
Fuyuure has just completed both of the Speaker's dakis! First of all, here's the SFW ver.
Enjoy!
2019-02-20 07:56:19 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
Gabby here to give you another update on what's been happening lately.
First of all, only one day left to enter our dakimakura giveaway! I can't wait to draw the winner. The other interesting thing we have going on is our postcard promotion, which will end in 6 days.
We're making steady progress in completing our animation, but our animator Stefani is away at the moment. She's used this time to create a draft storyboard of another possible animation as ...
