I would like to first and foremost thank the 15 backers who have become Customers!
As you may all know, the development of the last update ran longer than we had anticipated, and we needed some additional funds to complete it. The Customer tier was created for two reasons. One goal was to help fund a longer development cycle, and the other was to involve the community in the game by inclu...

Last month's winner was Tay, so he is out! Numbers next to characters' names are how many times they've gotten a pinup.

Howdy everyone! Now that we are past the release of v0.13, we can do a big progress report.
v0.13 Post Mortem
As a team, we learned a LOT from v0.13. It was an incredibly tough build for us to get through, as we had to learn what to leave on the cutting room floor and what we need to restructure for the betterment of our game/studio in the future.
The entire concept of Episo...

Hello everyone! It's been a few days since v0.13.4 was released, and there have been some concerns about determining when you're done with the content. Since v0.12, we have had a system in place that displays a message indicating you have completed all the main story content for this update. This had to happen since the story has been nonlinear since Episode 6 began.
Some players are repo...

Hello everyone! The moment we've been waiting for: v0.13 is now ready for a wider release!
The two Alpha playtests of this update have been very successful, and we believe we have eliminated most, if not all, of the bugs. That being said, if you encounter any problems or perceived problems in your playthrough, please don't hesitate to make a bug report. You can click on the little bug in ...

Hey everyone! Got a short update for you today.
v0.13.1
The next Alpha is not ready yet, but we are progressing well! No new bug reports have been filed, which makes us very happy.
We fixed the bug where the save images were too big!
Now we need to iron out the Coffee Minigame, and we'll be golden.

New pinup poll!
I have decided not to include Vera because she will win as she always does by a landslide. She has more pinups than the first love interest the game is named after. We all love Vera, but these other characters need time to shine.
Kayra isn't here because they won the poll before...

Yeah, you read that right—we're doing it! Version 0.13 Alpha for Hazelnut Latte is happening! It's been five long months since our last release, and a lot has occurred to make this a difficult road to traverse.

Hello everyone!
I'll make this short, basically, we got bugs. We're killing bugs. We're trying to fumigate this place. We fix something, something else breaks. It's a lot of testing, creating a list of bugs, fixing them, and then finding new bugs.
It's painfully boring. If you want a fun idea of what it's like, here is this funny clip from Malcolm in the Middle.

Greetings everyone! Welcome to another report :D
We are SO close to getting this build ready, so let's jump into what is done and what is left.
Writing
Since last week I have added new text conversations and added new dialogue to some scenes I felt were lacking. All I want to do now is do a another pass for grammar and write maybe a small scene.

We tested a new build and found some bugs and areas of improvement. But it's coming along! We're hoping to have a new build that we'll test later in the week. Fingers crossed ...

Hello everyone!
Apologies for there not being a report yesterday. It was April Fool's Day and I personally hate when stuff gets announced on a day built around lying about stuff happening. I also wanted to give the poll it's day to shine.
Not to mention it was a milestone weekend for me. 3/31 was my husband and I's wedding anniversary! We've been married for a while year now, so we ...

We have two more special moments completed, along with another lewd scene. The one remaining lewd scene and the two remaining special moments are sketched.
Our programmers have been researching and developing the Unity switch, so we paused coding this last week. By next week, a significant portion of the coding required for v0.13 should be ready for review.

We have debated doing this for quite some time, but we finally decided to pull the trigger and start the process of making the switch. So why do that?
