Hey y'all, I know its been a while since I've said anything if you're not part of my Discord, but I've been hard at work with generating renders, so today I wanted to share a few things and explain why things are taking longer than usual. For a TL:DR renders/coding/entire backlog of all 7 chapters animations/replay. No hard ETAs, but should release sometime in Q2 2026.

There will be a lot of features and additions to HHCIRB in v0.7, you might even have to read the entire thing again! (Or just go for the new animations, you know I don't archive them.) Nothing is hard set in stone and designs are not final.

For one, there will be a complete overhaul in terms of text box/title screen, nothing is completely final at the moment.

As for text boxes, provided I can code it properly, you will have the option of the old basic Ren'py version or the newer one. This is what the new one looks for now, (not done debugging nor have I imported my actual script).

Two would be one of the most if not the most requested, a replay gallery. (No I am NOT making a CG gallery at this time, a replay one is already a pain in the butt.) Currently filled with placeholders text and icons, this is a general look of what the gallery selection will look like.

What happens when you click on one of them? Well, that's a bit too unsavory for a free Patron post so guess you will have to see once v0.7 is out.

Next up, would be audio, specifically music, as I don't plan on having VAs or sound effects. Due to the myriad of complications with it and the massive scope due to the sheer amount of text in this AVN, it has been put on more of a back burner status again (including the votes from my lovely readers). It doesn't mean I won't use that I did generate, but it will probably get old pretty fast since I generated at most 30+min worth of music before the model was taken away and if you are a super fast reader I'd need like 5 hours+ worth (even with loops). But things like the anime intro and beach songs will definitely be used.

The last topic I would like to discuss would be animations, as I can't really share them due to their nature, have the old Slimey head pat test I did a while back. (Due to Substar not being able to handle the Gifs properly this will break in the future.)

Now that you're thoroughly distracted by Slimey's cuteness, lets talk about animations. I won't be animating EVERYTHING. A two second animation takes me roughly 5~8 minutes per generation and it can contain artifacts/do things unintended like any other AI renders so it would mean I just lost time. I intend to have animations on most H-scenes, and I plan on implementing them in a certain fashion.

Namely the flow pattern would be like Original CG > The next line of text > Animation of said CG. They will not be perfect loops though as I am working with a lot more H-scenes due to the nature of my AVN. But if the readers don't like it, I can always change the process.

Paid subs will get to see a preview soon™ (couple minutes after I finish this post).

That being said, I'm sorry it's taking me this long, as much as I want to only work on this AVN, it isn't feasible with the current amount of support and with most of my time eaten by my actual job. No hard ETAs, but everything should be done by Q2 2026 (though you know how bad I am at estimates). I am working on it as much as I can everyday, and I can't wait for all my readers to experience the changes while reading the newest chapter.

Thank you all my lovely patrons for your continued support, I hope to get v0.7 out ASAP.

So a few days ago I was sent this email from the service I used make music with.

Shown below.


I liked their services enough to have a subscription to it, but I wasn't working on music quite yet because I was busy writing. Either way the few songs that I have made on that are backed up, but trying to make new BGMs from their new model has been pretty painful with really poor quality and intent, not getting what I want.

Here is a prime example of what I mean, before I created this on the first prompt try that I shared with everyone that got me excited about adding music to my AVN.

Now after 10+ tries with the same prompt, everything just sounds bleh and not as distinct, here's a few samples.

So I want to ask my readers, with this change, would you still like me to pursue BGMs? (I am currently explore all other music AI generation sites, but none of wowed me immediately like Producer and usually wants me to spend money after a few tries). Sadly the local model Ace 1.5 sounds even worse than any of the online offerings, well except the one that starts a U, that one is PEAK garbage.

So what do you think I should do?

新年快樂! Happy Lunar New Years to everyone who celebrates it! As I continue to work on finishing v0.7 I have joined another bundle to celebrate the New Year, please check it out. https://itch.io/b/3512/year-of-the-fire-horse-nsfw-bundle
