March Update

There have been a lot of delays since the January update of the new series. I hate to make excuses, but I'm still working on finishing chapter 1. The script has already been written for it long before I published the first half of the chapter in January 2021. Unfortunately, due to many personal issues that have to do with my living and my day job I've had to delay the release for part 2 in February. And due to more circumstances, I've been injured and was forced to rest for the first two weeks of March. Of course, when you're dealing with searing pain whenever you walk,stand or sit normally then it makes it hard to sit at a computer and work without agonizing pain pulling your mind away from what you should be doing. But enough excuses from me. 

Originally, with this series, I had planned for it to be a chapter a month. But since I'm new to creating chapters every month, I realized that realistically - it would take me a chapter every two months. Even now, with the personal delays that I've had to deal with, I'm starting to think even a chapter every two months is a bit much, but I'm going to take it in stride and do my best.

If I can make a chapter every two months - that's great. And if you're enjoying the story, thank you. Feel free to send a little love my way in the form of a donation either on patreon or itch.io

I'll do my best to update this blog with timely release anouncements.

New Visual Novel IN PROGRESS!!

 

Due to many personal issues in the past year and the fact that my team and I do have jobs outside of this group, and of course due to the COVID-19 this past year of 2020, our group has found ourselves hard pressed to get much work done on any releases. 

As I took a step back from the series this past year, I started to realize that I was personally not accomplishing what I wanted to accomplish with this series. It also felt like a lot more effort was going into the series than I originally planned, so I decided to scale back many things. As a team we decided that perhaps we should focus more on story than game elements. So we have decided to release the next content of the series as linear visual novel chapters. These releases, as of right now - 01/08/2021 will be released for free on itch.io. While it is free, we ask that you do respect our intellectual property rights and not use any of our work without permission. That said we hope you enjoy what we have in store for you.

This series will be a departure from our more Adult oriented works and will be geared towards a more General Audience. At a later date, we may explore making an adult oriented version.

For those of you who specifically follow our hentai releases - we will still be releasing content on that front too, but on a slightly smaller scale to offset the story being laid out in the visual novel series.

New content release on hotspringshentai.com and game production updates!

Check out our newest gallery post for Elize in at hotspringshentai.com .You may notice a change in her look and art style. I've been experimenting with new art styles and I'm growing to like this new one. Expect all other characters to be redone in the same art style.

For those of you who still enjoy the old art style...I'll keep it on the site as long as I can, but the new galleries I'm setting up are going to have games integrated in them as well for your entertainment. Unfortunately, many of the old galleries don't share the same dimensions as the newer renders so I can only keep the old art for so long. I've considered re-rendering them, but due to a complete systems upgrade we had in late 2016-2017, many of those graphics aren't easy to replicate due to source files being shuffled around. I can re-render them but they used a lot of custom textures I created myself that I admit I could have been more organized in moving.

Due to time constraints...I may redo the old art with the newer style....depends on how much time I have.

Some of you maybe asking: Why do I need to subscribe to hentaikey? Yeah, well...I admit that I have several reasons for that. I hate to ask, but if you love our work, we would like your support. I put in a lot of time and effort on this series and much to my own dismay, I have bills to pay and I need to eat to live just so I can produce more of the content people love. Unfortunately, despite all the places I could post, there aren't that many out there that insures that our work won't get stolen, and even fewer that accept the mostly adult nature of our works. Hentaikey allows me to post the work I want, though there are some guidelines I have to follow. For those of you who wish to see more more uncensored work - please check out hotspringshentai.com. I use it as a proofing ground as well as a place to upload my adult games for people to play online. For those of you who would rather support me on patreon or something and just give a few bucks to see me turn out some newer games. I'm working on that as well as other things. By signing up at hotspringshentai.com you will be supporting us with your membership as well as gaining access to other hentaikey related sites.

Yeah, with all our work up there, our site is pretty bare, so while waiting for us to add more content, feel free to browse other sites and find something that interests you.

--End Shameless Plug--

As a game update, for those of you who have followed our Onsen Hime game stories, we're working diligently on a sequel to Onsen Hime CPS. Much to our dismay, the new engine we've acquired has many issues, and they the main engine keeps getting updated by the creators but it also keeps breaking things.

The new ICA system is ready! Ever since day one with our old Action System, we've been working on a player interface that combines traditional D&D style game play with traditional RPG Video Game play. At this time, we believe we've come up with an answer in the form of the Interactive Console Action system. We hope you enjoy this system, we've done our best to simplify it from the orginal Action System and EXE systems. So hopefully few of you will be confused will get bogged down by it.

We'll do our best to keep you updated on what we're doing.
