Hey gang, I just wanted to let everyone know I've been plugging away at writing! A lot of it has been stuff players will run into during free roam, so it's been short conversations and observations.
I wrote 2,673 words, bringing the new total word count to 104,876!
And with that, I am going to rest <3
Stay Rad Out There!

Hey everyone! As you probably saw with the monthly pinup, sometimes Vera needs to work the counter.
Starting with Episode 6, on Hazel's days off, Vera will be serving drinks at Cafe Estros!
This is her fun work attire: a very comfy sweater and the only apron that fits her, uhm, size.
Catch her wearing this in Episode 6 ;)

Differences from v0.11.5: We fixed some bugs, corrected some grammar, removed the slots for outfits which were not in the game, and added Amelia VA as Vera!

I want everyone to welcome Amelia VA to the cast of Hazelnut Latte as Vera!
Amelia's sexy voice will be added to v0.11.6 as a free update when the game goes public on 9/9!

Hey everyone! Incredible news: our Patreon has over 1,000 members now!!!
It's been a long journey to get here, but we officially have 1,000 people supporting this game, which is utterly amazing. As the game and the Patreon grow, I try to do more and do it better, and I also hire people to help me so I don't go completely crazy.
Your support allows me to do my job, bring in new people to help with the development, and make this game possible. So, from the bottom of my heart, I than...

Hello! I hope everyone who has the chance to play v0.11.5 is having a good time!
But the boat doesn't stop, and we aren't stopping ;)
One question I am always asking myself is, "How do I make the game take up less space?"
We solved a bit of that question by inventing a lighter version for mobile. But I want both versions to take up less space. I hate when games require 88gbs of space. Why do I still play Destiny 2?
So, we figured out a new technique! And that is how we...

It has been 150 days since I made a post like this for the last build, and it has been a wild ride. I moved, got married, quit my retail job and made this my full-time job.
I didn't want this update to take as long as it did, but when I actually sit back and compare it to v0.10.5? It's like a completely different game.
So, what took so long? Well, we had some trouble getting certain tasks done for the game that were being handled by an outside contr...
2024-08-12 19:59:02 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, gang, my oh my, I think we've finally finished it.
We fixed the way the textboxes interact with text centred on the screen and the text messages on mobile.
This should be everything, and it should work like a charm now.
As a reminder, the code to active backer-guided mode is: 719253
If there are any problems, please let us know here or on the Discord server in the #alpha-feedback channel.
If all goes well, we'll start posting this to $15...

For Backers Only! Join us in celebrating Episode 5 of Hazelnut Latte's completion by marathoning the first three Evil Dead movies! We will be watching a special fan edit that cuts the first three films into one 3h46m extravaganza! We will start the event with a Q&A session with RadLord so you can ask him any burning questions you desire! That will give people time to file in, and then we can start the Evil Dead Marathon! We hope to see you there!
This will be held on our Discord Ser...

2024-08-07 23:42:27 +0000 UTC View PostWe want to thank everyone who provided feedback on the last Alpha build!
We managed to squash a lot of problems and create v0.11.4!
The final 'map' image of Episode 5 was not showing up.
Solid textbox was not working on mobile.
Dave's conversation in the bar was broken and skipped right to lewd.
Hazel still acted like you cuddled with Robbie if you didn't.
There were a couple of grammar mistakes and references to ...

This update has a TON of quality-of-life changes that I want you all to try breaking!
Not to mention, it has a secret ending to the game.
For those playing the Mobile version, we made it special! It is now in 1080 resolution instead of 4k, so we hope it runs smoother! Let us know how it works!
This build also has a very special mode just for $20 backers!

Gonna make this short since I have lots to do.
SO! My husband is leaving town for an emergency work trip, so I've been helping him pack and get ready.
At the same time, my best friend is getting married on Saturday, so I'm about to leave to get my suit. Then there is a rehearsal dinner tonight.
My husband flies out tomorrow, so I gotta bus with him to Seattle to get on a plane.
Then the wedding.
I'll probably take Sunday off to chill, but on Monday, I will be wor...

Heya gang!
Not much to say except we are waiting on one final animation!
We just need to implement it when it comes our way!
I'm revamping the guided build for $20+ members so that it is not dumb like last time.
So, hopefully, you can play something soon!

Hey gang! It's been a hot minute since I've written out what is happening with the game.
As you've seen, we've been fixing some sprites, making the whole game come together beautifully. It's what you're looking at 90% of the time, so we want them to be perfect.
But what else is going on?
Cut that off early; the next update is not ready yet before anyone gets excited. We are still waiting on the animations. I have no idea when they will be done. Once...

Hey there! We felt that Mr. Noto also needed some sprucing up! He was made in the same batch as v3 Hazel and v2 Jeze, so he had the same shading and style as they did. Since we've moved away from that, he needed to change with the times.
Mr. Noto was colored and shaded specially for the restaurant. While he looks great there, placing him anywhere else makes him look off. Not to mention, he doesn...
Hey gang! We felt Vera was a liiiiiitle outdated and had some odd anatomy, so we adjusted her a bit.
We mainly felt that her head was too small for her body. Vera has a substantial figure, and the tiny head on top has long struck me as odd. We also feel like this new sprite's face matches how Vera looks in the CG art.

We also made a new dress for Jeze to wear on formal dates.

Hey everyone!
We have all the art done now for Episode 5!
But we're not ready for release yet.
With this newest scene, we decided to work smarter and not do what we usually do: draw 3 to 8 different frames to simulate animation. This was our practice before an animator was available to do these scenes. Now that we have an animator, we decided to spend more time making the lewd scenes look good than drawing 5 different versions. So, before we can have Episode 5 go in...

Hey everyone!
After redoing Hazel, Kokman and I looked at all of the characters, and we both came to the conclusion that Jeze also needed a refresher. Hazel felt like the odd man out, and once he was redone, we saw that Jeze was also a bit out. Not nearly as much, but Kokman's style and talent for sprite work certainly improved after his initial drawings of Hazel and Jeze.
So, we did just that!

Hey gang! As we develop Episode 6, which features free roaming around Jade City, we wanted characters to be interactable in the world. We have Robbie and Hazel now available in their rooms! You can chat with them, initiate important conversations, and eventually participate in repeatable lewd scenes.
Just one of the ways we are trying to make the game more interesting :D

Bit of a weird update.
I spoke with my developer about using Evil Dead and other properties in Hazelnut Latte. I was concerned that there could be a problem when we launched the game on Steam, and they agreed.
This means every reference to a real property in Hazelnut Latte has been changed to a fake name. Now, why? Who would care?
It is completely possible that we keep the games as they are and nothing happens. But, there is a chance some copyright holde...
