So… what’s going on with Doki Doki on Vacations?

I know many of you are wondering, since most of you are here because of that game. To put it simply… it’s not canceled.

The reason I started to struggle with the development of Doki Doki on Vacations was because I wasn’t comfortable with what I was doing. It became increasingly difficult for me to continue with the story, the dialogues, and everything related to it. And to be completely honest, the project originally started as a “test,” something to see how it would go, how it would be received, and whether or not it would be successful.

Because of that, I didn’t really have a solid foundation in case the game ended up being well received—which it did.

So most of the content and the story were created literally on the fly, with the clock constantly reminding me that the end of the month was approaching (which is basically my deadline). On top of that, personal problems kept coming and going, so it was only a matter of time before I ended up burning out.

So, what’s going to happen with Doki Doki on Vacations?

Simple: I’m going to redo it from scratch, but keeping all the content that made it into the latest version, 0.11. This time I want to take my time, think things through properly, and above all, create something that you all truly deserve. It’s something that will take a long time, especially if I’m working on it while developing the new game, but I know I can do it with effort and perseverance.

In the future, I will likely share progress on the development, and I may even run some polls to hear your opinions so we can achieve a result that feels right for everyone. So stay tuned!

For now, over the next few days I will release version 0.11 to the general public, and right now I’ve lowered the subscription and store prices. If you want access to the exclusive content and everything else, it now costs half the normal price (sorry, but I need to eat too :c).
