Weekly Update

So we have plenty of things to talk about in this update, a bit of a good news/ bad news thing I suppose, but we'll get to that later haha.

First thing's first, so this week I'll be focusing on Jikage Rising, it's going to be pretty fun I think haha. Mostly getting new stuff in along with some of the new girls in as well. Not too much to say, minus some rushing of art I suppose.

So the good news/bad news segment:

We'll likely have to pause releases for Star Cove again, the a...

The Star Cove Incident v0.10a Patron release!

Hey all, sorry for the delay, there was more than a bit of a delay on the art. The artist if kinda experiencing burn out, so it might be a good idea for him to take a break, so it's a bit of a good news/bad news situation. Also, here's a quick preview of what I was supposed to add in this release, thought I could add the actual scene in but turns out it was just an update of the sketch, so yeah, definitely should give me some time off.

Jikage Rising v1.10d Public Release!

Heya all, thought I would release this out sooner since a couple of people are getting pretty excited about it.

Basically for this release we have a Halloween event, a bit late, but close enough haha. We also have a new outfit viewer menu for Hinata, didn't get many complaints about it so unless the public has some strong objection, I'll probably continue with this for the rest of the girls as well!

We also have a couple more scenes for the Konoha girls as well as the "updated and...

Weekly Update!

Hey hey everyone, time for a new weekly update! We'll be finally be releasing a new update for Star Cove this weekend! So we'll be doing a couple of stuff with Star Cove, the speed of the art isn't really close to what I like it to be, but you can't really predict how people will react after a couple of months of working on art for a project, ce la vie I guess.

So not really much to talk about Jikage Rising, other than "whew, there weren't any more bugs that I needed to fix in the new v...

General FAQ

Hey all, just thought I should post this here since these are some pretty frequently asked questions!

Do take note that Patreon charges on the 1st of each month! It might be more worthwhile to wait for a new month before pledging if you're just a few days away from a new month.

Weekly Update

Heya guys! Apologies for the tardy weekly update, was cleaning up some of the reported bugs and stuff in Jikage Rising, really wanted to get that done asap haha. 

So for this week, assuming that there are no more bug hunts, I'll be getting back into The Star Cove Incident! We'll get a new character introduced most likely! 

For Jikage Rising, some of you guys have been giving me feedback with regards of what you'll like to see, since we're going back to what we did in arc...

Jikage Rising v1.10d Patron Release!

Update (25th Oct): This should be the last patch that we'll need to do for it, fixed all of the stuff that were reported! I also added in the new images for the Suna girls, cause apparently I forgot to do that, even had them all prepped and ready. Yeah, not the sharpest tool in the shed I am. Once more, so sorry about the errors in the build.

Update (24th Oct): v1.10c out! Added some fixes and an additional insertion animation for Tenten's new sex scene, also some other minor stuff and ...

Sneak peeks for some scenes in the Halloween mini-quest

Heya guys! Thought I would drop two of the scenes we have planned! The 5-some scene won't be added cause we definitely don't have enough time for that, to be honest it's pretty amazing we got this far.

Let me know what you guys think of the scene yeah!

Dang, holy moly we're cutting it close, self reminder to never do something like this on such short notice again.

Sneak Peek for Tenten's Halloween Outfit!

And now we move on to Tenten! Here she is with her JiangShi outfit! We had to do some tweaks from the traditional one cause I'm thinking the traditional one would be too "boring" for most people here judging from the feedback last time haha.

Anyway, here it is!

Hinata's Halloween outfit!

This one took some editing and stuff, it was an outfit that was quite unexpectedly won the poll, at least for me haha. 

So just to clear a few things up for this costume:

1)Yeap, the hair will change colour if you have Hinata wear this costume.

2)The mist effect will appear in game as well if you have her wear this outfit!

3)No it will not show up on normal sex scenes, cause we will die from having to rework all animations for this one outfit hahaha

Weekly update and Halloween outfit poll results!

Heya guys, I'll keep this one short since I have a lot to work on and prep and very little time lol.

So the results for the outfits are out! Over 1k people polled, which isn't a lot for most games, but it's should still be a fairly accurate representation of the player base!

So according the the results, we'll be going with:

Sakura: Courtesan

Ino: Kitsune

Tenten: JiangShi

Hinata: Yuki-Onna

Hinata's results kinda boggles my m...

Just to clear things up

Weekly Update

So it's another week now, yay. Anyway, we have a couple of things for Jikage Rising! Been a long road, but the art for Yukata, Sari and Matsuri are all replaced with art fitting the current style as per feedback! That's like 6-ish pieces, which sometimes make me wonder if I should have pushed that back a lil bit more... Anyway, what's done is done hahaha.

On the side of the battler sprite, we will need to use some placeholders cause the battler sprites need to be "hand drawn and animate...

Weekly update!

Heya guys! So it's time for another weekly update! Felt like a pretty long weekend for some reason, but I'm gonna skip the small talk this time haha.

So for this week I'll be putting in the new scenes for the Konoha girls, all of which are animated. Think they look pretty good tbh haha. The rework to standardize the art for arc 2 is almost done as well! Not really something that I expected a lot of people to ask for, but the people have spoken haha, and so it's done XD.

Jikage Rising v1.09b for the public!

Hey guys! So it's time for the public release of the game! It's a somewhat big one in terms of dialogue, I added Sakura and Ino back into the city, you'll be able to meet them at the Hokage office and Flower shop respectively, and if you talk to them enough, there's also a small surprise outfit if you guys talk to them enough! The other girls will be getting theirs soon, so no worries!

That aside, I'm slowly restoring the village so that it'll function properly when we restore the comba...

Weekly Update and survey/feedback summary!

Heya guys, so I'll be working on Jikage Rising as mentioned last week, nothing much has changed from the plan, a bit of the updated battle sprite can be seen in the discord. I'll also have some of the updated art up as a sneak peek after this post haha.

Now with that done, here's the summary of feedback and what's going to be done about it!

So I'm not gonna cover the boring stuff like how you guys rated me, cause there's not much to be expanded on and it's really an "overall score...

Weekly Update

Heya guys, time for another weekly update! So as mentioned a while back, there won't be a Star Cove update for this month due to the lack of art, we kinda have to get the art for a character done alongside some wohoo art, so we would be in a really weird position if we were to release it, but no worries! It gives me a full month to work on Jikage Rising while we wait for art to be done in Star Cove.

So for Jikage Rising, I'll be finalizing the stuff we need for the combat system to be r...

Discussion: Should we postpone the mission system to arc 3?

As you guys might have noticed, the mission system is causing a lot of issues, anger, and grief for both me and probably you guys as well. There are constant streams of issues and it seems to be causing bugs left and right even to things unrelated to the mission system. Anyway, the bottom line is:

Would you guys prefer that I take the mission system out of arc 2 and fully rely on the tried and tested combat system we had in arc 1? 

OR

Would you guys prefer if we keep g...

Apologies for the late update, time felt doozy for the past 3 days haha. Anyway, lots to do, we have Raiha working on some scenes for Jikage Rising at the moment, the Konoha girls specifically, so we should be able to have them animated by the release after this. Looking to get some new battle sprites done for the combat system as well, so I'll be looking into that.

Your stats will be carried over if you have an arc 1 save, I'll also add in a "cheat button" or something similar, mostly for stats, it's not an online game where you pvp with other ...
