Upcoming content for v 0.46 - New features

Hello everyone!

This week I'd like to share a little more about what you can expect from the upcoming update. Next week we'll be posting our first sneak peek, so stay tuned!

Here's what we're currently working on:

1. Temari (Main Content)

Temari will finally be making her debut in the game with a brand-new, story-focused event. This will be one of the biggest pieces of content in the update, and we're really excited to finally introduce her.

2. Hinata

Hinata will also be receiving new content. I have something planned that I've wanted to do for a long time, and thanks to some of the improvements we've made recently, it's finally possible.

3. Mei Terumi (Tower Mode - provisional name) or Tenten

I'm still not completely decided on this one.

Over the next few days I may create another poll where you'll be able to choose whether you'd rather see Mei Terumi or Tenten receive content in this update.

I know Mei won a previous poll to receive content for the Tower Mode a few months ago, but unfortunately I couldn't introduce her because of time constraints. My original plan was to include her in this update.

However, I've also noticed that many people have been asking for Tenten, so I think the fairest solution is to let all of you decide.

Whichever character loses the poll won't be forgotten—they'll instead receive content in Version 0.47, the update after the upcoming 0.46.

4. Combat Improvements

We've decided to spend some time balancing the combat system, finishing the remaining incomplete battle sprites, and we're also seriously considering adding a new playable fighter. That last part isn't confirmed yet, but it's something we're discussing internally.

5. Visual Novel Sprites

We're finally planning to complete all of the remaining Visual Novel sprites once and for all, while also adding several new ones to improve future story events.

6. HUD Improvements

We're also planning to make several improvements to the game's HUD to make it cleaner, more polished, and easier to use.

7. New Interactive Feature – Read Manga

We're introducing a brand-new interactive feature to the game: Read Manga.

I'll share more details about it in the future, but I've been seriously considering making every new manga/comic I create available directly inside the game for the Supporter Version from now on.

At the moment, I'm working on a comic that has been sitting unfinished for quite a while. The sketch version is already complete, but it still needs the line art and colors. On top of that, this comic will also include a brand-new animation.

Some of the longtime followers of the project might remember it—it's the short story I created for Konan a long time ago to introduce the changes to the combat system. I'm really looking forward to finally finishing it and bringing it into the game.

That's all for this week's development update!. We still don't have a release date, but as soon as we do, we'll share an estimated release window.

As always, thank you so much for your continued support. Every update we make is possible because of you, and we're excited to keep making the game bigger and better with every release.

Have a wonderful week, and I'll see you all next week with the first sneak peek of Version 0.46!
