Project Issues

First the good news: Chapters 2 - 5 of OH: HEL have already been drafted and are being worked on as we speak.

The bad news: The engine used for the visual novel has gone missing, and now we have to put chapter development on hold in order to rebuild and test the engine from scratch.

Updates: We hope that in rebuilding the engine we can optimize the size and flow as well as revamp the menu system to be more user friendly.

Unfortunate News

 For those of you who still look to this blog for news, or who have been fans of our work. I have some distressing news.  

Some of our works have been discontinued due to system changes.

What does this mean: For those who have frequented our DLsite.com profile and seen the various works released over the years, you may notice that we used to have more. Unfortunately, this is due to upgrades in DLsite's security combined with the issue that I've had to change computers over the years, and some of the older works were backed up on hard drives that themselves didn't have a back up. Because of this, these works are being removed or have already been removed from DLsite. 

I'm truly sorry for those of you who appreciated those early works, or those of you who were planning to purchase those works at a future time. As much as I wish I could provide an original for those products so that DLsite could update their security...I no longer have the project raws, or even the original copies.

The effected works are listed below:

Onsen Hime Vol. 2 Mikan (One Piece Nami Parody) - Already removed as of 2020

~Onsen Hime~ Presents Pussy Thief Nami (One Piece Nami Parody) - Will be removed as of April 30,2021

 

We have already searched for back ups of these products, but unless they were miraculously stashed somewhere else I have very low hopes of returning them to DLsite again...if I could, I'd probably just provide them free to people.

In the future, we may remake them, but for now I want to continue on with our current projects. 

If anyone really wants a copy of Pussy Thief Nami now is your last chance to purchase a copy from DLsite before April 30th 2021, as that is the date that DLsite will discontinue selling it, or if you have an interest in any of our other works, please feel free to check them out and show us some love by picking up a copy from the links below:

I'm sorry for any inconvenience this has caused fans of our work.

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 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.
