GoodbyeHappiness

Hey everyone! I'm alive, don't worry. I haven't abandoned the game, I'm still working on it. It's just that I also have to deal with my university research work alongside game development. The update is coming soon. Right now, I'm working on additional quests, which is proving to be quite challengin

I'm gradually improving the quest menu. Now, if a quest cannot be completed until another quest has been completed, or if the quest hasn't been added to the game yet, it will be highlighted in red.

Hello everyone. I'm not dead. (I accept your applause) That's all. Thank you for your attention. P.S. Yes, the work continues.

For the next few days, I'm feeling way too lazy to open Koikatsu Studio, so it's time to go through the quests and fix their descriptions and hints. As you may remember, I've had stage 8 Alzheimer's ever since kindergarten, so I'd like to ask for your help speeding up this process (the quest-editing

Hey everyone. Decided to release the update a day early since I simply won't be home for the next few days. I'll add that one day back to access for the next update. What's in this update: Easy mode. You can now skip mini-games entirely or auto-win them. The fight with Katharine has also been made e

Hey everyone! Early access (1 week) to the update kicks off on June 16. If you'd like to check out the new content ahead of time and support the developer, you can do so on my Patreon ($5 or $8 tier). Also, from now until June 16, there's a promo code for 20% off on these tiers. (F8053)

Hey. F_ck... the update is getting delayed by another week or two due to some circumstances forcing me to leave home starting tomorrow. Sad.

Maybe I should pull an update out of my ass in the next couple of days? What do you think?

One ending is finished. Don’t ask how that happened. Doubt anyone would even want to see it. No, that doesn’t mean the story’s finale is near. Not at all.

Hey everyone. I made it to the church. I got a bit mixed up with the Patreon info, so I just bought a bunch of different candles. The photo shows all the candles I put up. Thanks for your support.

Hello everyone. From time to time, I’ll be posting snippets of upcoming text. Think of it as a small bonus for you. No spoilers—I just sometimes feel like writing something. - Why are you telling me things I already know? - Because sometimes it matters. It matters to hear your own thoughts confirmed

Hi everyone. I’m replaying the game once again to test the interface, while also reworking the screens that explain the game mechanics. Already tired of waiting for the update, huh? Yeah, I get it. Honestly, I am too. But I like the new interface much more. I even launched the old version to compare

I want to show the interface changes. You have no idea how ducking tired I am of making this… Anyway, it will now look a bit more compact and slightly smaller than before. The eye icon is gone, but its functionality is still there. To use it, you just need to move your cursor over the new main menu.

Hi everyone. I finally figured out why Ren’Py keeps dying when playing videos. Turns out it doesn’t use the GPU at all and just decodes every single video file frame by frame on the CPU like it’s 2005. To put it simply: the more videos you try to play at once, the more NASA supercomputers you’d need

eh menu (Vimeo)

Oh, if only you knew how fucking tired I am of drawing this interface. I totally understand my past self who kept pushing this idea the hell away. I’ll show the result in a day or two.

Hey everyone. I got tired of making scenes in KKStudio. I started noticing that my hands were trying to get the job done faster, at the expense of quality. So I decided to take a break and work on something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time. I’m updating the interface and trying to make it mor

It seems like this thing works. You can switch it at any time. A skip button has been added to the “Alchemy,” “Push-ups,” and “Fights” mini-games. Believe it or not, it actually works. I honestly didn’t expect it myself.

Hello everyone. I’m writing this as a follow-up to my previous post. Easy Mode will be expanded in the next update. A new option will appear in the game settings that allows you to activate this mode manually. Easy Mode will include the following features: The ability to skip fight scenes and some a

I tried to make a simplified version for you, which should work if you drop these two files into the game folder. Changes: – An easy mode has been added. The time to react before blocking an attack has been increased by 0.4 seconds. – The number of pixels the dual-sword icon needs to travel to succe

Pahaha, funny meme. Somehow my game crawled its way into the top 12 most popular games with the Adult tag, with a Patreon of $22. If I understand correctly, I’m the only clown like this on itch.io. Do they give an achievement for that or something?

Hi everyone! As I promised earlier, starting with this update I will be releasing new versions of the game first for paid subscribers who chose to support the project financially. I truly appreciate you, even though there aren’t many of you. For everyone else, this version will become available in a

You haven’t heard from me in quite a while. It’s not because I died or abandoned the project. It’s just that lately I’ve had more work than usual, which takes up both time and energy, so my evening routine has basically turned into: “Wow, that’s a great idea for a scene in my game, yeah.” And then I

Hahaha, that’s an interesting problem! Hmm, this reminds me of something…? uh.

Hello everyone. I've added sounds to all the H-scenes. I'll probably have to adjust them more than once, but I've done this as a test for now.

Seems like I “fixed” the regeneration issue — at least that’s how it feels for now. I added graphics settings for this scene. On my end, CPU load drops with lower quality from 40% → 28% → 17% → 6%. Let’s see how it works for you...

Hi everyone. Just found a funny bit of crap: in the sword fight scene, HP and stamina restore depending on the CPU load. What the f*ck? How does that even work? Ugh, this scene just won’t let me live in peace. I should’ve just made a standard turn-based thing and spared myself the trouble. Sigh...

Hi everyone. I finally finished reworking the first 30% of the game. Added a lot of new text, reworked several H-scenes. Added more music. And made a bunch of invisible changes that I'm too lazy to write about. Once again: I added new content to the beginning of the game, but not to the end. You'll

Just a little left.

Hey everyone. Some dude in the itch comments dropped a link to a petition against this nonsense with 18+ games. I’m not saying I believe these kinds of efforts will fix anything, but I’ll share the link here, because the picture on the petition is really cool. Check it out and sign if you want. Can

Ugh, I’m a double idiot. Somehow I convinced myself I had deleted the old images. Posting a batch of old/new now.

I’m just still reworking the game’s opening with new graphics. The scene drafts I used back in the day are gone, so I’m rebuilding almost from scratch. Here’s a sneak peek of the new graphics. If I weren’t such an idiot, I’d have attached the old version for comparison, but I already deleted it. The

Yeah, this dumbass (me) actually made it to the church. The biggest candle has my fingernail scratched onto it with the name "Tokisaki" — in honor of the $15 donor — but I just realized the name is kind of hard to make out. Sorry about that :(. I tried not to forget anyone, including those who suppo

Well, I replayed my own game from scratch once again to remember everything I’ve done so far. It refreshed my energy and motivation to keep working on the project, and my indifference to the haters has only grown stronger. I was surprised to find myself reading my own writing like a discoverer — as

I’ve heard that the sword fighting scene is causing problems for many players when progressing through the game. This is because Ren'Py consumes a lot of CPU resources during this scene (Why? Ask Ren'Py). So, I’ve reduced the framerate to 30 and slightly lowered the quality. As a result, on my PC th

Hello everyone. It’s been quite a while since the last update. I honestly don’t understand and kind of envy those devs who somehow manage to push out updates every two weeks. What’s changed: Progress in the storyline with Anna, Chloe, Katharine, Clara, and Eliza. A new location. 3 new H-scenes. Comb

Just so you know, I’m not dead yet. And I haven’t left either. The business trip got postponed for a week, so I actually managed to almost finish the scene. An H-scene, by the way. Lucky I had some time. Kissing you—wherever you allow. Just a little more...
