Week seemed to pass by pretty quickly, had a friend that our circle of friends haven't seen for over 10 years flew in to visit, so that was nice. Time sure does fly.
Anyway, my weekend aside progress is going pretty well, one of the animations for Kurotsuchi is underway and should be done pretty soon. With luck, the second one would be completed before release as well. Ino's battler sprite has also been processed, so y'all will be able to get her to join you guys in the next release as ...

Hey all, time for another weekly update! Apologies for the late-ish update, had a lot of real life stuff to deal like taxes and stuff. Fun fact, apparently I'm able to pay my taxes with the Venmo equivalent app over here. Technology is amazing.
Anyway, for this week I'm going to be focusing mostly on Jikage Rising, I should be working on Kurotsuchi's event and fixing some of the stuff that was mentioned in the last update, so there's a bit to do. Will also be adding in a scene for Ayame...

Gonna drop this here real quick! It's been awhile so I thought we should get Ayame a new scene haha. Let me know what y'all think!
Writing the weekly update now, so it should be up in a bit!

Hey all, the update is going to take longer than expected. The system is mostly working, but there are some unexpected errors. Which is not good.
It's would be better for me to tweak the errors out and try to clean it out a bit more before I release it, so no release for now.
That being said, art is slowly progressing. Here's one of the endings hahaha
Already asked the artist to mov...

Heyo, so it's time for the public release! There's a bunch of animation added, so yeap yeap! So the one that most people are excited about is probably Tsunade's scene haha, you'll be able to get that when you talk to her in the Hokage office. There's also a new event for Kurotsuchi as well as a new scene for her. The animation for the Tenten and Mabui scene is also added now!
Unfortunately the art for Ino's battler sprite isn't added in yet cause the art couldn't make it on time, but th...

Alright, so let's get into it!
I've split the different segments now, and all that's left is to place them in the proper places, do a trial run and see if the plot breaks apart. Not the most fun thing to do, but eh. Oh right, this is for The Star Cove Incident.
As for Jikage Rising, it's mostly a "waiting for art and animation to be done" thing currently. So not too much to talk about this week as well haha. On the bright side, the battler art for Ino is completed! So we'll be abl...

Okie doke, have a bunch of stuff I need to do this week as well haha, the schedule for some of the projects I have planned out had a bit of a road block cause of the whole thing that's going on with Star Cove, but I'm working on how to get it sorted out. There's supposed to be a project that's coming out soon that's an RPG where you manage a Tarven, go into dungeons to collect items to cook, upgrade stuff with quest, unlock new party members/customers and etc, basically if Nano-control was Fa...

Hey all, this release is a bit of a mess at the moment, it's a bit of a what I intended for the overall game to be like, but it didn't really worked well. There seems a "lag" and it gets pretty odd overall, which I don't really have an idea on how to "fix".
I'm pretty lost to be honest, at this rate it'll probably be a good idea to find a new artist so I can get the art quicker for the new scenes needed for the rework.

UPDATE v1.18b: Added the missing animation for the Konoha Orgy, added the missing label for Kurotsuchi's gallery!
It's time for another release! This time we have Kurotsuchi added along with a Tsunade scene, which is probably something you guys are looking forward to! The animation for that was pretty well done I think, but it's best for y'all to see it yourselves haha. Speaking of animation, there are some bad news, the animation for Kurotsuchi is not done yet unfortunately. However on...

Woots! It's gonna be the Patron/Subscriber release of Jikage Rising again this weekend! As usual it's gonna be busy busy!
So currently, I'm adding in a new scene for Tsunade, should be pretty fun for most people. Kurotsuchi's art is also done, so hopefully animation will be done as well! Also gonna add in more dialogue as previously mentioned, so busy busy haha.
Star Cove is going on as usual, but not too much to say about it now!
Oh, also a quick update! A bunch of yo...

Alrighty, there's a couple of things to plan out as well as a couple of announcements. We'll go through the list I guess haha.
So first up would be the simple stuff haha. I'll be working on Jikage Rising this week, as per the usual schedule. Most of y'all that read this will probably be used to this by now. Which is probably like all 7 of you. Hahahahaha
Anyway, we'll be adding in a couple of outfits and such, as well as a scene for Tsunade. There will also be a new scene for Kuro...

So, here's the release of Star Cove. It's not close to what I want it to be at the moment. We are back to back to day 3, with the choices present. There were a couple of different ways to rebuild it, but I have no idea how to continue this. So I'm gonna leave the decision to you guys. Basically we have a couple of options to go:
1) Full freedom where the day starts and you basically click what you wanna do
2) Making things more linear with branching choices
3) Going straight...

Hey all, we added in a couple of things for this release since v1.16. Some of the missing animations are now in! I've also added in the swimsuits as well as the a new scene for Karin. There are also some progress for Mabui as well as plot progression!
Basically we added a bunch of stuff, so I won't bore you with the details haha.
P.S. Just to clarify, Kurotsuchi is not in the game yet
Here's the quick changelog as usual!

Y'all ever watch a video or read an article about a random insect and/or plant and be like "no way that's a real thing" and decide to google it, get horrified, and then miss the last 10 minutes where you didn't have that disturbing piece of information? Asking for a friend.
Anyway, for this week, I'll be working on the stuff for Star Cove as previous mentioned. I've talked about some concepts with the players in the server as previously mentioned. Have some GUI and stuff ready/ getting ...

It's that time of the week again, time for another weekly update! I'll try to keep this one brief, since I have a lot of balancing and writing to do haha. Well, first thing's first, Jikage Rising v1.17 is out! It's pretty beefy words count wise this time cause of all the plot and dialogue and stuff this time round. We are nearing the end pretty soon, and I'm looking forward to arc 3 where we can break away from the main plot and do our own thing. Think it'll be pretty fun with the village bui...

UPDATE 23rd May: Updated it to v1.17c, apparently Mabui's scene with Tenten was missing. Also fixed the error with Mabui's error not appearing in the riding scene!
UPDATE: v1.17b fixes the issue with Tsunade sprites as well as some errors with some events!
It's one thing after another, dang. On the bright side, I added in a lot of stuff, like a lot of lines. The Kage event is added, which will unlock once you get Mabui to level 5. I changed Mabui's lvl 5 scene to something a...

There was a storm yesterday and my Internet has been down since then, called the Internet company and they said they will send someone over tomorrow.
Which brings us here, I can't upload Jikage Rising at the moment cause, well, I have no Internet and I don't nearly have enough data on my phone for uploading the game.
Just wanted to leave this announcement here so you guys know what's going on! Everything should be settled in 24 hours or so, in the meantime I'll try to figure so...

Woooo, been a week. So basically I have finished adding in some additional dialogue for all of the girls in Jikage Rising, nothing too insane, but hopefully enough to make things a bit more lively and immersive where there will be certain changes according to where you have progressed to! I should be able to get some more stuff in as well, but we'll have to take a rain check on that. The animations for a bunch of animations are ready as well, which is excellent news considering the fact that ...

Hey guys, as usual, it's gonna be a busy week. I'm mostly going to be focusing dialogue for the characters in Jikage Rising. There is quite a bit to add to say the least, so hopefully I can do this properly before it's time to add in the scenes needed for the next update as well as the plot scenes. Hopefully we'll be able to get some of the more "fun" stuff in as well.
There's also some details about Star Cove, I've listed out the stuff that I'm working on, well, on a more detaile...

Hey guys, sorry for the wait! This is the public release of Jikage Rising v1.16. We added a couple of things but there was a bit of an issue with the android complier which lead to the apk requiring a fresh install, which unfortunately means that your save will likely be lost. There are no issues with the Windows and Mac versions, so no worries on that end!
There is now a new scene for Mabui as well as a some progress for Karin as well. The battles for Sakura and Hinata...

Plan was to have the core timeline established so that every path becomes obtainable without too many gaps in the days. That's mostly done, and then the rewrites were going along nicely, but there was a bit too much rewriting on my end and a lot of cross checking was needed than expected, which lead to more writing bein...

The thing that compiles the game into an APK ran issue some issues and a clean reinstall had to be made, the backup keystore that I had didn't match the original for some reason which resulted in the APK requiring a reinstall as well. It should be a one time thing, but I'm looking into ways to prevent this from happening again.

First priority would be to fix the bugs for Jikage Rising, there are reports of the battle system and some of Kari...
