Weekly Update!

Hey all! Time for another weekly update! Infection is getting better, the wonders of modern medicine. But that's probably not the update y'all are interested in haha.

On a more serious note, there were some suggestions and feedback about the UI getting more than a tad messy, so there will be yet another update to deal with that. I will also be looking into getting the village relationship penalties as well. And hopefully some cameos that end in some fun time.

We should have time t...

Jikage Rising v2.11c Patron Release!

UPDATE (19th May):Fixed more issues with Temari! Apologies for that, Doggo is not in good form lately with the infection.

Update (18th May): Fixed the issue of the sabotage missions not appearing, also fixed the issue of trying to talk to Temari leading to unfinished segments of the town.

This is gonna sound like me tooting my own horn, but I'm pretty pleased with how the pricing system is now, basically it'll trend towards a price, but you guys will be able to manipulate it with ...

Weekly Update

Awww yeah, we're finally reaching release week! Well, weekend, but you know what I mean.

Not a good month for me so far haha. Some carpal tunnel, PC got fired, got some bacterial infection and am on meds right, also gonna have to babysit something annoying, not to mention stuff we have in the pipeline getting clogged. Not a good time, not at all. And to think I was planning to go on vacay lol.

Anyway, enough about me, so as y'all know, the PC got fried, most of my stuff are safe, ...

Sneak additional pic for previous outfit event

Yeap yeap, this will be in the next update haha, it'll take place after the MC and the director enter the room where all the kids are XD

Where Ino is trying to spite a little kid and Karin is getting teased by kids. XD

Weekly Update!

How are y'all doing~ Have a bit of carpal tunnel going on in my right hand, might have been on the mouse for too long last week hahaha, gonna be taking it a bit easier on the right hand this week, hopefully the ache and tingles go away in a couple of days.

For this week, we should be getting the art in the game, also have the mission system / village relationship system in a uhh, kinda like a "doggo testing how balanced it is" state real soon. Had a suggestion from one of the players th...

Jikage Rising 2.10b Public Release

Hey all! It's time for the public release of Jikage Rising! We added a couple of scenes for Karin as well as some adjustments to her event, you now unlock her after Sakura, Ino, Hinata and Tenten are recruited! Karin now has her own outfit changing UI page thing as well, though the hairstyle isn't working quite yet, it's thing that will be fixed in v2.11, so no worries! Just seemed a but minor to be having people redownload everything for it.

Other than that, we also have two new outfit...

Weekly update!

The art for the orphanage scene will be getting drawn! Hue hue hue...

That's a big plus for me personally, hopefully it turns out well. Man, I really miss doing fun events like these haha.

Anyway, Temari is in the works! Have her event planned and getting ready for her, was slightly lost / thinking of what role she'll play in the village, but looking at her personality, her role in Boruto and her in general, I'll probably stick to the plan of having her work in the Inn/ Hot sprin...

Weekly Update!

No idea what's up with me today but I'm feeling fired up. Really just zooming right now and I love it. Anyway, we have a couple things planned. One of those things would be to get some art done for the outfit quests. Had a chat with some players about it, and there seem to be a general consensus that having a pic would make the quest funnier.

Speaking of which, what did y'all think about the outfit quests? Was it too "unserious"? I remember someone telling me that he saw someone compla...

Jikage Rising v2.10b Patron Release!

UPDATE 21/4: Fixed issue with 2nd outfit quest, fixed alignment of Shizune's bunny outfit! Sorry for the trouble!

Hey all, this is a pretty fun update haha, had a lot of fun writing the quest for the two outfits! We also gave Karin quite a bit of stuff, including a new hairstyle!

Anyway, let's get into the nitty gritty "things that might get confusing" parts! So basically, to access the outfits, you'll need to talk to Mabui and ask her about the outfits and where they are, this wi...

Weekly Update!

We are almost at the release date! Scenes are being written as we speak, well, not really, considering I'm the one writing them, but you get what I mean. The fun scene are being written, and the animation for Hinata is almost done, so we'll get that in by this release as well! Could have gotten them in sooner, but the animator fell sick with how bad the weather has been in his region, he caught pneumonia as well unfortunately, but all's good, he said he's all better and back at work now!

Sneak Peek!

Hey all, just a quick sneak peek for an upcoming scene! Karin will be spending some quality time with the one that saved her life~

Weekly Update!

Hey all, hope y'all had a good weekend! Mine was pretty neat, played Dragon's Dogma 2 for the whole weekend, it was amazing. Would have been better if I didn't have to do some adulting over the weekend with my tax returns haha, but it do be like that. At least I got to fight the Sphinx haha

That aside, I will be getting started on the outfit quest. I'm thinking that I'll do a series of missions for each set of outfits, basically a little mini-game and wild goose chase thing, a bit of fu...

Jikage Rising v2.09 Public Release!

Hey all, it's time for the public release of Jikage Rising!

On the topic of scenes, we've animated Hinata's scenes for your viewing pleasure, complete with some delightful jiggle action. Unfortunately, the battle sprites are still a work in progress, so we'll have to stick with the old ones for now. The battle system is back up and running smoothly, and I've introduced a basic version of the trading system.

We've also added Kurenai into the mix, with three new scenes, including on...

Weekly Update

Hey all, time for our weekly thing! So, this week's agenda mainly revolves around diving into some art tasks. Yeap yeap. Raiha is pretty much working on the new scenes for Karin. So that would definitely be something to look forward to.

The animator have a bit of a flu and family stuff going on atm, but it should be cool, we're still more or less keeping in schedule, so no worries about that! Also have some pretty fun stuff going on, so that's neat as well!

Now, onto the fun stuf...

Weekly Update

Hey all, it's time for another weekly update! For this week I'll be working on a couple of stuff, but it's mostly art stuff, so pretty boring, or not really? Depending on who you ask I guess. The other battler sprite artist I found has a pretty long wait list, but it's all good, we'll get there eventually!

Some people have also given me some feedback about trading system and what they would like to see! However, if you have more that you would like to see, do let me know! Just leave you...

Weekly Update!

Hey all, y'all could probably guess what I've been doing all day haha. Fixing the bugs ain't too bad, but the uploading is really a pain. Anyway, after that I had a lil chat with the artist who was supposed to do the battler sprites, and as expected he bailed. We got our money back, so it's not all bad. It's all good though, doggo has a plan B and will be sending it to the backup artist when he comes online! Quality should be equally good, so not too worried about it, looking at his portfolio...

Jikage Rising v2.09e Patron Release!

Edit (19th March): Damm, we have not reach ver "e" for a while now huh? Uploaded a new version that fixed the missing animations for Ino and Shizune, turns out they were both due to stupid mistakes on my end, so sorry about that! Let me know if there's anything else that needs fixing!

Edit (18th March):Fixed a bunch of issues that were reported, also made Karin's icon clickable to avoid confusion.

Edit (17th March): Hey all, just another quick one, fixed a rare issue of the game c...

Weekly update!

Dang, we are really close to the next update! Sure hope I can get it all done hahaha. Got distracted a bit on the server with some stuff and ended up reading a couple of journals about Neurological disorders vs psychological disorders and their relationship with mental illness. Was an, uh, interesting few hours of reading, learned a lot of new things as well as some pretty good points about the subject. 

Anyway, the dog getting distracted by squirrels aside, the update will be out ...

Sneak Peek for next update!

Just wanted to drop a quick sneak peek for a new scene with a newcomer. With a genjutsu expert, things are going to get a lot more relaxed...

Weekly Update!

Heyo, another week another update! Was discussing some stuff with the people in the server and wanted to get it done by today so I can focus on Jikage Rising this week haha. 

So I'm thinking that we will have events where basically the outfits that the player unlocked in Arc 2 / Konoha is being transferred to our village, and then we get a bunch of shenanigans happen and we will have multiple quests to unlock the various different set of outfits. What I'm thinking is that the outfi...

Jikage Rising v2.08c Public Release!

Hey all, here's the release of v2.08 for the public! Kushina isn't currently available in the version, but I'll get that sorted out in the next release! We had some balancing issues with money and resources, so the new combat and trading system will be delayed for a bit, but I'll sort that out soon, just need some data.

Jikage Rising v2.08 Changelog:
-Outfits can be changed now (outfit unlocking quests planned)
-Updated night time UI
-Added labels for the town<...

Weekly Update!

Hoozah! Or however you spell it. Another week is upon us and with that, we have the weekly update! 

Now let's see, so basically did some bug fixes today and moved on to getting the balancing tweaked today. I'll also need to get some details ready as well for the new scenes that we'll have, which might take a bit or quick depending on what we settle with and how complicated the scene will be.

After that I would also like to do more adjustments on the plot on my end, also proba...

Jikage Rising v2.08c Patron Release!

UPDATE (26th Feb): Fixed a couple of more issues with the outfit system, including the Konoha girls corrupted outfits not unlocking properly.

UPDATE (25th Feb): Hey all, apologies for the errors, I've uploaded and fix and that should, well, fix it! We will be back to adding scenes and I will have the combat system sorted out by the next release! 

Okay so I think I have the new stuff sorted out, added and fibbled with a lot of stuff, so if I missed any, do let me know! Placed ...

Jikage Rising update situation

Hey all, just a quick heads up! The game should be up in a couple of hours or so, I'm currently placing in all of the stuff that were made and added and testing them. Just wanted to let y'all know in case people started getting concerned haha.

Weekly Update

Just got back not too long ago, and I'll be diving back into it shortly! Back into work I mean, in case there was any confusion somehow. So yeap yeap, the battle system is somewhat functioning, we'll use the old battlers for it for now, I'm working on getting some new animated sprites for the battlers, something that I've kinda think might work nicely in a stylised way, somewhat affordable too, which is important lol.

After that I'll be dishing out my mad drawing skillz with the UI stuf...

One week delay

Hey all, apologies for this, but I will have to call for a one week delay. It seems that I might have bitten a bit more than I could chew and things are not where I quite want them to be just yet. Been tweaking a couple of things plot-wise and also planning to change some of the current mechanics in the game to make things a bit more fun and rewarding for y'all.

Originally I wanted to get it done and out by today considering that I have a flight to catch early tomorrow due to some famil...

Weekly update and reflection

Hey all, fun fact, it is the 3rd-ish day of the Lunar new year! So yay, Happy Lunar New Year for y'all that celebrate it! Actually just got back from an invite from a friend who had me and some of my buddies over to his place, was pretty fun.

That aside, the weekend was somewhat enlightening for me to be honest. Been playing some games, and it kinda reignited a spark. Not really gonna go too much into it, but yeah, I think I might be focused on doing things that make me a tad more happy...

Weekly Update!

Dang, Monday's huh? No wonder the orange cat hates them. Anyway, I've just finished compiling some details for the games as well as the doujin/art page, which took a bit of time. Always kinda surprises me of how some pose refs are surprisingly easy to find and some are surprisingly hard. There's always a "I could have sworn this pose was more common" moment.

Anyway, that aside, for this week I'll be working on Jikage Rising as per usual. Will be looking to get the combat back in, mostly...

Jikage Rising Public Release v2.07

Heya all! Here's the public release of Jikage Rising v2.07! For this update, we will be dealing with Hinata! Well, not "deal", but more along the lines of welcoming her back to the gang. To do that, you'll need to build the Inn. Have some things planned for the Inn, which should be pretty fun, but that'll be getting ahead of ourselves haha. So after you get Hinata to the village, we have 2 new scenes for her as well as a new non-sexy dialogue. We have also added in all the old scenes from Arc...

Weekly Update!

Hey all, just a quick weekly update! Will have to confess, I've been playing Palworld for the whole weekend haha. That aside, I will be working on some stuff for Jikage Rising, mostly writing and plotting the, well, plot. Also will be working on something else, which hopefully I will have time for soon. 

Oh right, speaking of Palworld, we have a server up if y'all are keen on joining. Raiha is hanging out there as well iirc, who knows, you might bump into him haha. Anyway, here's o...
