The discord decided on a “Mirror” theme with a comparison between THR Aki and HR Luna. There was another similar idea thrown around as well that I may end up making too. So don’t be surprised if I end up dropping another April art sometime soon. If you want a say in future art pieces come join the discord!

There is also a little sneak peek at what Luna will look like near the end of her corruption.

EDIT: Forgot a pic...

The NSFW version is Hero tier exclusive! The theme is chosen by the Heroes on discord. If you would like a say in what is made, join the Hero Tier as well as the discord!

I’m going to do some playtesting over the next couple days and have CH7 uploaded on March 27/28.

Alright, I’m wrapping this thing up now. Once I missed the second release window I kinda just said “Fuck it” and started adding all the animations and extra images that I was going to cut to get it out fast enough. So I just shut up and got to work.

That being said I’m going to start doing smaller updates. On discord I got called out in hero chat, rightfully so, for trying to make every chapter bigger/better in scope than the last. Which has caused me to keep thinking “Oh yeah I can do this in X weeks” without acknowledging the fact that I’m trying to do the equivalent art/writing of chapters 1-3 in one chapter. Which is just dumb of me.

You can expect to see me use more of the overworld sprites for the in-between dialogue in future releases. Reposing Aki and co to make the same/similar expressions every new scene is just a very poor use of time when I could be using that to make more porn. I really understand now why visual novels do that.

Despite all of that, I’m so happy I made this game. From the beginning THR Aki was always my learning project for all aspects of game development and man, have I learned a lot.

Thank you for reading and thank you for your patience.

CH7 Progress update!

As of writing this I'm finishing up the art, but I still have to program everything. I'm unsure if I'll be able to do all of that by the 12th. It shouldn't be more than a few days at most.

There are a few animations that I want to render alternate angles of too, which just takes a lot of time.  The attached scene has a silly number of animations by itself. I figure you all would prefer a better product rather than a faster one so I'm going to make sure it is good for you. 

I've had a couple people dm me and ask about the delays. For those wondering, it's nothing crazy, I just have to pick up work outside of this to pay my rent/bills. Nothing is wrong and I'm not burnt-out or anything, but it does get in the way. I appreciate the concern and I thank you all for your patience!
