Hey all, TD here, excited to bring you news on Ch4Up3.

Image work began on April 18th, and the current running totals are 133 static images, 0 animations, and 5,494 words.

The scope of the next update is hard to precisely describe. For simplicity sake, you could brand it as a "Veronica" or "Carnations" update, but it encompasses more than that. Veronica will be getting so much needed, well deserved, and long awaited attention, but layered around that will be a variety of other dan...

Pale Carnations [Ch4.Up2] Public Release

Hey all, we are happy to present the public release of Ch4Up2.

Apart from the usual typo fixes, this version contains a revision of the update's concluding scene, done out of interest for the role-playing experience and offering the player character an even-headed approach in this meeting. You won't miss anything critical by not going back and replaying it, but if you do wish to see it, load a save before Edwin arrives at his apartment. Otherwise, you'll just load into the old scene. Th...

Notice Regarding ANDROID version

(Edit: Issue is resolved, Android port now available)
Hey all, TD here wanting to update you on the android situation.

The guy who usually makes our ports is having technical issues, so I began looking into and understanding the process today, in an effort to handle our own android release in the future – and I am recognizing a fast-approaching problem. I have been told that the soft limit for the APK to install on most phones is 2GBs. And 3GBs is more lik...

Dev Diary 53

Hey all, TD here with well due developer diary.

Currently, we sit at 1867 static images (+277 since last diary), 63 animations (+23), and 51,654 words (+8,539), rounding the corner to putting a bow on this update.

As you can probably guess from above, we have decided to shift Veronica’s personal content into the next update. There’s probably no surprise there, judging by our last developer diary. I am frustrated that this has become a definite trend, but we feel it’s better ...

Hey all, TD here closing out the month of February with a dev diary.

We currently sit at 1590 statics (+214 since last diary), 40 animations (+2, although GIL has cooked up the rough stages of quite a few that we're not counting yet), and a total of 43,115 words (+4410) for the Ch4Up2 cycle.

It's been a productive couple of weeks, working with Mina has been a treat and enthusiasm remains high. We're in the midst of the fun stuff now and I'm forecasting we'll close out Mina's conte...

Dev Diary 51

Hey all, TD here coming at you with yet another developer diary in the Ch4Up2 cycle.

All told, progress for this update sits at 1376(up +172 from last time) statics, 38(+4) animations, and 38,705 words (+9,992, boy I sure I don't ever embarrassingly screw up the math on these).

We just had a developer diary a couple weeks ago, but I wanted to touch base since we have FINALLY dug ourselves out of the dark, tiresome prison that was the punishment game and are now basking beautifully...

Hey all, TD here. Dev diary time!

All told, progress for this update sits at 1204(up +270 from last time) statics, 34(+23) animations, and 28,713 words. (+11,735, although this number is a tad deceptive due to how the scenes we are working on is structured.)

We are currently on the last remaining branch (#4) of the punishment game. We have made strides to make each path unique visually (GIL has done some incredible work) and I hope each one offers a different insight into the char...

Hey all, TD here with the first dev diary of the new year. I hope everyone had a nice holiday and that your new year has started off great.

Owed to the usual end of the year (Christmas/New Year/Three Kings) slowness, progress has been truncated compared to other dev diary cycles, but there is still progress to report. Currently, we sit at 934 statics, 11 animations, and a total of 16,978 words.

We are still presently in the thick of the "punishment game", having just about wrapped...

Hey all TD here, with a quick developer diary to update you on our progress.

As of writing this, we sit at 708 statics, 2 animations, and 11,042 words for Ch4Up2.

Presently we are working on the final third of what I consider that club portion of the update. Progress has been consistently steady over the last few weeks, with the only notable exception being the last couple of days where GIL's static work has been paused while I, narratively speaking, make sure the needle for our u...

Hey all, TD here with dev diary dos for the Ch4Up2 cycle.

All-in-all, we currently sit at 286 statics, 0 animations, and 4,745 words.

Not much has changed since our last report. We are currently chugging away at the club-oriented portion of the update, which involves a common event that branches out depending on who lost week 2's exhibition. Each of those branches should be fairly distinct, but reaching those week 2 end-states (4 in total: Felicia loses, Veronica loses, Veronica a...

Hey all, TD here with the first developer diary of the Ch4Up2 cycle!

We officially broke ground on the update on the third of this month, after taking time to rest and plan for the entirity of week 3. All told, we currently sit at 58 statics, 0 animations, and 1,198 words.

The tentative plan for this update is to span two days, covering the Monday and Tuesday events of Week 3. Monday, of course, will be like the previous two weeks: the week's theme will be revealed, with a bonus p...

We are proud to present Ch4Up1, kicking things off with a bang edition!

Changelog:
- 1,477 static images
- 61 animation clips
- 33,134 words... give or take a few dozen due to intensive proofing.
- 2 new musical tracks

It's got a more narrow focus than any of our other updates, but we wanted the first time with Hana to be truly bombastic.

Do note, there are 4 distinct openings, reliant on who you visited after exhibition 2. We put care into each one, and...

Howdy everyone, GIL here. I'll take over this week since TD is feeling a bit under the weather.

So far so good with the workflow! The massive Hana segment we've been working on for the last 2 months is mostly over, pending some closing shots that are underway. After that, there are a couple of small scenes needed to round up the narrative and cover some possible outcomes based on the player's decisions. All in all, 1,342 pictures, 62 clips and 33,134 words have been completed as of now....
