Hazelnut Latte Progress Report 5/20/25

Hey everyone! Got a short update for you today.

v0.13.1

The next Alpha is not ready yet, but we are progressing well! No new bug reports have been filed, which makes us very happy.

We fixed the bug where the save images were too big!

Now we need to iron out the Coffee Minigame, and we'll be golden.

v0.14

This is the final Ren'Py build, and while a fair amount of art and writing is done, we haven't dived into the coding yet. But it is well underway! Coding will involve connecting Hazel/Robbie's apartment as a location and ending the Episode!

There is a lewd scene for Hazel, Robbie, and a Mystery Character. Hazel, Robbie, Vera, and Jeze will also have story scenes.

Obviously, there is no ETA or release date for that.

Unity

This week, we had a big meeting about the Unity build and what we need to do. Noba has been hard at work creating systems that are natural to Ren'Py and other VNs.

We also have a new-ish team member! Koth, who previously worked on a per-commission basis on some lewd animations, is now on the team working on a special system we'll reveal at a later date. But he is already hard at work!

In addition, once we are past v0.14, we will redo the roadmap and have some crazy announcements. Our meeting showed that we needed to rethink our release schedule.

Wrap Up

v0.13.1 is so close, I can nearly taste it. We had to pivot to Unity since our two newest hires, Koth and Lotus, are focusing on Unity, and we needed a game plan. Getting the new Alpha out is our focus this upcoming week.

Thank you all so much for your support, and Stay Rad!
