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.

Changes and Updates

For those of you who visit and poke around our blog, sorry if some of the images are broken or nonexistent. Unfortunately, Photobucket.com - the thirdparty image hosting site we have used for more than 10 years has finally decided to change it's terms of agreement. This unfortunately makes many of our images unviewable. So please pardon us while we fix up and update this blog.

All links should still be active despite the images being broken. Leave any comments if you find any other issues with our site and we'll get to them as fast as we can.

Update status!

Sorry for not keeping those of you who watch our blog up to date. However, many things have happened to our group over the past few months that it's hard to completely summarize.

So, long story short - we decided the time has come to upgrade, so I took some time off from development to scrape some money together. From Aug 2016-Jan 2017. From Jan 2017-Now has been spent on everything from system upgrades, to game engine upgrades, and various other software upgrades to keep up to date and produce content more efficiently.

We only just finished the complete system upgrades, and I must say that I look forward to what this new system can do. That said...in addition to learning the new upgraded software ...it seems some more dependable tools that we've used in the past have become very obsolete....i.e. the company that makes it decided to stop developing it almost 4-6 years ago. They still offer the software for free, but it's full of glitches and crashes alot.

I've decided to move to a better and more powerful software, but unfortunately...there is a huge learning curve to it, and there is a chance we won't be able to use it as easily for a while since there is no formal way to learn the software outside of paying over $100 for an online course.

That won't stop us from developing though, and for those of you who have waited patiently for our releases...or are at the very least mildly interested in what we make and are curious about our next update, we thank all of you for your patience.


Some things to look forward to:

We will soon be launching a website where you can preview or try out betas of our upcoming games.
So if you're tired of waiting for finished releases, you can get your fix on our upcoming site.

We plan to have a release out soon...however soon can be anywhere from September to December depending on personal living funds and whether or not I need to get another part time job to scrape up some money for living expenses.

The sad news is - we spent a lot of time developing the item transfer system for Onsen Hime CPS so that players could transfer any earned gear into the next installation of our game...however...a change in engines during the development of the Onsen Hime: Outer Kingdoms Series has pretty much nixed that for now. We hope to create a better item transfer system then update the original CPS game with the new system. So those of you who haven't purchased the game on Dlsite as Dlsite Members....feel free to do so. We'll try to offer up another sale for those who missed the previous sale in April.

We've been looking for ways to post online versions of our game here on blogger, but so far, we're not having any success with that. The blogger system doesn't seem to allow it...for the moment, but we'll keep you posted on that. We would really like to have players test our games for free to improve our releases.

Well, that's it for now folks, we'll keep you posted!

New game and new updates!

I know it's a bit late, but Happy New Year folks! All right guys we're in the homestretch! Unfortunately, we had hoped for an end of the year release, but that didn't happen due to the complexity of some of new systems being tested for our new release. We hope you'll bear with us, because we hope to affect many changes to our brand in the coming months.

We've been saying it for a year now, but we do plan to get a game out. The reason it's taking so long is due to the complex amount of features that are going into the game, and long hours of testing that go into testing such a system.

For those of you who have been waiting patiently...or wandered here out of sheer boredom(I do that sometimes) I'll share a bit of a sneaky-peaky on what the latest game is all about.

Originally, the story for the next release was going to be about the continuing journeys of our 'unamed hero', (he has a name, but we want you to figure that part out)...however....with all the new features the next game will be adding, we thought it might be best to cut down development time a bit by using a story we had already written. So the next game will be a look into our hero's past prior to Onsen Hime: SP and Onsen Hime: SR's events. Originally, this was to be hinted at in future games, but because the story had already been written as a precursor to the first two games we figured we may as well release it as I - the idiot creator - had envisioned during my fits of midnight madness fueled by mindless cackling and binge watching while I roll around in my bed giggling excitedly to myself.


While that's happening, if you have any comments or suggestions on things you'd like to see, please post them in the comments section. For example - if there are specific character parodies you wish to see, or stories you want explored, or if you just like or dislike certain aspects of our releases then please drop us a comment, we'd love to hear from you. Whether we take your suggestion into consideration or not is a different issue altogether. XP
