Hello everyone! :)
With the update out and hopefully (most) of you having had a chance to play it, I wanted to talk a bit about plans and things for the future.
The next update scheduled is planned to focus more on adding some side content to Hamun, with some special focus on Marbella and, hopefully, (time dependent), a few more surprises. The last update that just came out was a little more 'experimental' due to the amount of lewd scenes, but this update will be more straightforward.
We're also working on a few various quality-of-life improvements, including more dynamic shop pricing. I.e., selling ore to a blacksmith, for example, directly will yield higher coinage than trying to sell to a random market stall, as well as improving on how we balance enemies for hopefully smoother combat.
We're also looking to expand upon the amount of cheat codes, hopefully adding some fun, useful, or interesting ones to the current roster, which is a bit lacking.
There's not much more to say on the game front directly; we're just plowing ahead with the updates. We are keen to get the player able to return to Novaras and see everything that's changed there, etc., and reunite the player with their lost party members and some fan-favorite characters. More on that soon~
We are still revamping some of the older character sprites as we go to fit more inline where we are now.

(Yes, Celeste is missing her sword - it'll be added in the finished version.)
Anyway, that's about it for the game. I'm excited to also say that the manga we're working on, PARASITE BLACK: GRIM DAYS, is going well; here's a little teaser on that with some more details!
Parasite Black: Grim Days follows the story of Karak, an orphan of Wei adopted into the noble Lupinegar household, the reigning family leading the great city of Gerano and its surrounding lands. Sworn to protect Renia, heir to the Lupinegar house, life seems peaceful for Karak... Until the looming war of the Demorai threatens to destroy everything.
As Gerano falls, Renia swears she will do anything to restore her house and honor to greatness, hearing about a mystical weapon that could be the key to everything.
How far will Renia go to achieve her dreams?
What terrible secret is Karak hiding?
Find out more soon in Parasite Black: Grim days
That's all for now,
as always, thank you to everyone so much for your support!
You guys make all of this possible, :)
Love,

I'm in favor of both changes, especially Dross,
I saw the discussion you started on Steam. It's not that the new artist's skills are lacking, but the overall visual style of the game was established by the previous artist. Changing the artist now might cause a disconnect in the game's artistic style. Personally, I would choose the previous artist.
Damn looks great.
Celeste's face looks a little weird, but everything else is perfect! Honestly, Parasite Black is my favorite lewd game. It feels more like a real game than p*rn.
Love this game. But in my opinion both dros and celeste is better in old model than new..... Probably most will agree with me....
Kind of Dros'es new model is better but Celeste's new models face looks weird.
I'm looking forward to what comes next for Parasite Black, besides the ones unlocking and relocking the gallery, it would be nice to have cheats that either raise or lower difficulty by changing aspects of the game. like heavily lowering your damage output, or on the inverse, unless for the fight you need to lose, being able to deal devastating damage if you just want to breeze through the story would be interesting. Or like for the stats, have an option to either lock it at one for every single one or one option to max out the stats at 99 or whatever your stat ceiling will end up being. And of course there could be a cheat to give you money and resources and items if you don't want to farm or just keep visiting and revisiting the wasteland to farm for gems and metal from the demons
