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 GAME RELEASE!!!

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

New Game Coming Soon!

In the home stretch, but still quite far. Ran into some development and licensing issues. In order to release this game sooner we had to forgo the license of a part of the system by removing it. Unfortunately, removing that system caused more errors to pop up. So we spent an extra month adding fixes and a few work arounds, but development is back on track.

Right now we're in the play testing phase which includes some quality of life changes to the game. Expected release is early February assuming nothing else comes up.

For those wondering, this game takes place in a parallel reality of our original series. Same characters exist, but we really wanted to iron out the world in which the stories occur as well as many of the concepts that form the basis of the world.

Originally we were aiming for a "steampunk-ish" world, but considering the different ideas that formed the basis of the world, a steampunk swords & sorcery world didn't seem adequate forcing us to change a lot of the world to fit the ideas that founded it.

From a design stand point, this release is more of a proving ground for the new improved system we're introducing to the game.

We may put up a demo on itch.io before the game is released.

Almost a Year late!

Yeah, it's been a year or so since my last update...give or take. Been busy with many things and dealing with personal stuff.

But we're in the home stretch for the next game release! This one will pay homage to the character April O'Neil from the 1980's version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Roughly the same character, but with a more independent woman-streak. I being a fan of the TMNT series, I can't bear to have any of the copyright owners mad at me for any reason, so my character will be named April O'Sheila. Unlike April O'Neil, she doesn't have teen mutant turtles trained in martial arts to save her ass. She's pretty good at using her wits and her feminine wiles to get out of problems.

For more of a preview, check out some of my concept art on the character on my DeviantArt.

I wouldn't mind hearing any opinions from people who follow my work, so don't hesitate to comment guys.

More Apologies

Unfortunately, I'm still getting used to my new schedule. So releases might be slower these next few months. I have a lot of personal business to attend to as well as trying to upgrade my systems. I apologize for the delay and I hope that I can resume releasing content on a regular basis again.

Thank you for your patience.

My apologies.

For those of you who are looking forward to the next Onsen Hime game release, or to the new monthly content I have been posting on hentaikey lately, you have my sincerest apologies. At the moment, I'm going through a bit of a rough patch, and I need to raise some funds to pay my bills.

Game status: So far, I've spent the better part of the last two years working on a game engine and story line. I have both ready, but unfortunately, just having a viable game engine isn't enough. I actually have to put in the work into designing the levels, maps, and inputting dialogue as well as the copious amounts of play testing that needs to be done before I can release it to the public. Unfortunately, with things as they are, this will be delayed for a bit, as the job I've taken on will have me contracted for a year or so and I need to focus on that.

Hentaikey content status: This has been an ongoing project to help me sharpen my skills and provide exclusive content to hentaikey.com members. For those of you who have had the pleasure of watching my art style progress, thank you for your patronage. I will try to keep this up in the coming months, but please understand that September's release will be a tad late, or it may be non-existent depending on the workload and other responsibilities I will be under.


Those things said, it is my plan to keep slowly working on the monthly releases and the new game releases. However, I had originally planned for the new game to be released by about Christmas this year, and that probably isn't going to happen.

I thank everyone who has helped me in making these games as well as those of you who enjoy playing them. I hope to give you something new to look forward to really soon.
