Sorry again for the delay. I have been a bit busy in in-real-life issues and I did not have time to go through the progress report until today.
-. The new animations on the cuckolding has completed.
-. Some more animation on Alice is working in progress.
-. Coding is half done.
-. Stories scripts are waiting to be recorded.
-. Regarding the update time, it will probably be in May, together with the steam release, if not sooner. I doubt if it could really be sooner since schedule is very tight.
We will review the progress again in 15th - 20th April.
Regarding the STEAM publish
We are so glad that we are now cooperating with Critical Bliss on the steam release. Critical Bliss is a well-known publisher in the field and they have some experienced designers in their team who are going to help us to improve the playing experience.
We are sad to announce that the uncensored patch will not come out in the foressable future. This is because we have exprienced some technical failure in the uncensoring the censored build. However, the steam version will still be uncensorned. We will be honest with our players and please allow me to give it a deatiled explanation.
uncensoring the censored build and producing an uncensored version is completely different. This is because once you build a game from the engine, a lot of its resources are "encrypted" and assembled and they are hard to identify. However, they are easy to be replaced in the unity game engine. Therefore, it is much easier to build an uncensored version(replace the images in the game engine) than uncensored an existing censored version(replace images in the build).
I have previously made some experiements on "uncensoring a censored version", and at that time the uncensoring works well. However, I have spent 2 weeks in the deailing with this issues this time and it just did not work at the end. I thought I managed to do it today, but it turns out some image is still broken in some scene and it just looks terrible. Broken image issue see japanese section.
I have been researching on the internet and it seems there is no quick solution for this issue( to uncensor an existing censored version). I think it is time for us to admit our technical failure and move on from this.
I have been thinking about other ways to upload an uncensored version of the game into dlsite/ci-en but it is just too risky. If I am caught uploading a complete uncensored game in these two platforms, I might have some legal issues. For those who really want to have an uncensored version, you might count on steam. We will give some discount couple on ci-en before we release onto steam. (if we can.) We are sorry to those who are waiting for the patch.
In conclusion, we have wasted a lot of time in this uncensoring and we decide to move on and catch up with our progress.
The next task we will be doing is upgrading the translation plugin and add the ending and pixel arts. (After stories would have to come after them). Updating a game in unity is pretty time consuming because we have a lot of codes and we have to make sure the new code will not conflict with the existing ones. Thank you for your understanding.
Let's give some good news to cheer everyone up! The manga ending is almost done. We will finish the edition in a few more days! See some of them Above(in the JP section).
Story: A visual novel about Netorase (Wife Sharing).
Tatsuki, the protagonist, is interested in sharing his wife with another man. Since Yuma, a timid young guy, is staying on his house, his wife, Hana, started acting motherly towards the guest, making our protagonist jealous but aroused at the same time. When Hana found out about her husband's fetish, she proposed sex-training him. Our protagonist, anxious at first, discovers the pleasure of sharing his wife.
Characters: Hana
The protagonist's wife. Cheerful, caring and straightforward. She wants to make her husband happy at all costs, including having sex with someone else. She is the master at teasing, so you never know what she is thinking, but if you trust her, you are in for a ride!
Tatsuki
The husband of Hana. A hardworking salary-man who always provides for his wife. After reading about "Netorase", he slowly dives into his new-found fetish. Would he be able to handle the "Sharing Play"?
Yuma
Gentle, shy, and inexperienced with women. He is starting college and stays in the protagonist's house for a while. After being constantly rejected by girls, Hana takes on the challenge of improving his sex skills.
Features: The game currently has (as version 0.18):
36 main hand-drawn 2D CG images. 330+ including variations.
6 Character sprites with up to 12 expressions and clothing variations: Hana, Yuma, Katsuo, Riko, Old Man, Tatsuki (side image)
93.000+ Words
v3.1.6 and uncensor patch.
We have just uploaded the v3.1.6c onto DLsite and we will apply an 20% discount to the game on DLsite from 2.15 to 2.29. (We will explain why we apply the discount). It might take at most 2 days for the DLsite team to review and approve the update.
ChangeLog:
-.Added a scene replay(only the live2d part) and no voice included.
-. Fix the issue that “the horse chair doesn’t show up after purchase.”
-. Fix the issue that “the photo taken during the SM training is wrong. “
-. Fix the issue that “taking photos during SM training would not add to the gallery.”
-. Improve the key event UI in Chiho’s home so that it is more intuitive.
-. Fix the issue that “the after story for the cat spirit does not show up even choosing ‘wake him up’”
-. Someone told us even we fixed the issue of the balcony voice bug it is still there. Therefore, we take another look and further fix it.
-. Currently working on the uncensored patch.
We will try releasing the uncensored patch either today or tomorrow.
DLsite sales 26K!
Thanks for backing us in DLsite. To share our happiness with our players, we are adding 12 more pixel arts to the game. Currently we have 6 cuckolding pixel art in Chiho's home and we are trying to add 6 more to Ryunosuke's home. And we will add 4 more pixel art to the 2 existing 3p pixel art. We will have two more. Currently I am thinking about to add 1 to the cooking and 1 to the afternoon tea event. (So that they will be different in the later stage and make some more sense).
What will be included in the next update.
We will have the endings, 3p/4p, more about cuckolding and Shota's story in the after story.
In the next update, we will work on the translation plugin and the cuckolding pixel arts and the endings.
After the trip, you might see this at Chiho's home.
We have already drawn 2 3p pixel arts for Lilith and Chiho and finish the writing for sex scenes involved with multiple female characters(3p/4p).
However, we have not done the voice recording yet(because initially we did not plan to have the voice recording here.) The voice recording might take roughly a month or so to finish. Would you like us to add them onto the game first and add the recording later or only add them to the game after we have the recording? (By the way, there will be no live2d in the after stories too).
Steam release will be delayed.
We are sorry to announce that steam release will be delayed to 10th May.
There are some reasons:
-. We have to modify the game a bit and make it a steam standard game. This will take time.
-. we need some time to set up some interesting "achievements" in steam. If you have any interesting ideas for the achievement, please let us know!
-. We need to get prepare for some more documents before the steam release so that we won't have taxation, legal issues.
-. We want to release the game to steam with the full version. (Including the after stories.)
Taking the time for testing and debugging into consideration, 10th May would be a great release date.
We are sorry for the delay and to show our apologize for the delay we decide to give a 20% discount on dlsite for 2 weeks. (2.15 - 2. 28)
v3.1.5 is in the store and the koikatsu card of Chiho.
We have seen a few comments in ci-en and twitter saying the version in dlsite is 3.1.4, which is not correct. The version you can download in dlsite is v3.1.5 however there might be a display issue in dlsite so that the webpage does not update that(but the download link literally take you to v3.1.5.)
The funny thing is, if I view the webpage in my mobile, it does display the changelog for v3.1.5. However, if I view it in my computer(windows10), it does not show anything about v3.1.5(which is very weird). Anyway, I hope dlsite it support will sort this out soon.
I have sifted through my files today and found the little koikatsu card for chiho. Though it is not perfect it still looks good in my opinion. You are free to make any customization/changes to the card if you wish. I will also be very happy if someone makes some interesting content with Chiho's koikatsu card and @ me in twitter. Anyway, hope you have fun with the card.
(JMC in pixiv made this card. https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/101363753)
If you want to see the Koikatsu card for Alice an Lilith, please leave a comment in this post and there is a chance we could commision JMC to produce them.
