Hi everyone. I'm sorry to say that there won't be a new build for Kemoket 4. We thought we would have time to work on the game, but things didn't go so smoothly. This year we joined two events instead of one, not realising that it would take much more time & energy than just joining Kemoket alone. As you may have seen from our tumblr, for Yaroufes event, we made a party card game for 2 players called "School Wars". It's our first time releasing a non-digital game, thus there were so many things we overlooked in the process. This includes finding card printing service, coming up with a package, printing manual, etc. All these problems that we didn't foresee took most of our time and energy. Still, it was a great experience, since I've always wanted to publish a card game! I was going to spend time after Yaroufes to at least rewrite scripts in the game to include the new Volga sprites by Null-Ghost. However, I realise that this means I need to add a new feature to the visual novel engine. Otherwise, the process will be much longer and I'd need to rewrite these scripts again in the future. And I won't be able to write add this feature into the game in less than 1 day. Thus, we've decided that on Kemoket4, we will let people who go to the event play the Patreon's version of the game instead, and we won't be releasing a new build this week. I'm really sorry for not keeping the promise I made. After the event, we are going to take a break for a while. Other than for health reason, we also want to improve the way we communicate. For example, answering questions like where to download the game, will the game be free, why is the game censored, will the game be in English, etc. These are problems caused from us not representing the information in the way that is easy to find. We will resume the programming part of the development on the 15th of May. As for graphic part, I've talked to Null-Ghost about the next character sprites already (Cyrus and Tharsix!) Also, I talked to another artist about enemy graphics so if things go well we will get another artist to help and would increase the speed on the graphic part. I have to sleep now since I have to go to Kemoket event very early tomorrow. We will be selling a choose-your-own-adventure comic book drawn by Kuroda Rokurou. We've heard that there will be sooo many people at the event this time so I'm sure it's going to be another busy day for us! - Punipen
