Artwork is finally finished!
With that out of the way, it's now time for the final piece of the update, which is to import and implement this final batch artwork, and the ones made during July as I was taking a half break during that time, working on the artwork but without touching the engine to implement it. Also still need to censor all...

PSA. The proper post will be out this weekend!
With that aside, where do you think this event is going...?
Unfortunately, the artwork is still a bit behind. Art guy has been having some technical issues, some of which have been caused due to the weather, and the artwork is not yet done because of it.
That's the bad news, but let's talk about the good side of things though. The update is done, but similar to last month, rather than let the game...
Brief expansion progress log here!
The expansion is functionally complete on my end. The event routines, general coding and mechanics, JP translation, etc. are done. The artwork though is unfortunately a bit behind. There is just a lot of moving pieces and complexities with the CGs for this expansion. There are still a couple of CGs cooki...
The idea was to keep the development of v1.5 in the background, and focus the monthly development logs more so on Purple Dream, as that's where my focus was going to be, but plans change!
The main thing that has been going on with Purple Dream has been the development of the event/CG system. The one in Hana Exposure is very rudimentary an...
Here is the overview for the new game : Purple Dream
As previously teased, yes, there are two playable protagonists. Introducing our protagonists :
Aika : A serious and diligent teacher. Though she emanates a serious and scary aura, she has a softer and caring side to her.
Shizumi : A shy an...

Two protagonists. Two stories. One setting.
Second sneak peek!
This was supposed to release a earlier in the month, but some fun games ended up coming out and we all know how that goes... The good news is that I am done with them. All that is left is Palworld, which I am just a step away from completing as well. After that, I should be done with distractions.

At last, here's the first early view of the next project!
I'll be releasing two more sneak peeks throughout January, with the third one containing a good amount of details. Keep an eye out for them!
Sorry for the delay. This was supposed to come out on new years, but things got busier than expected.

PSA: I'll be renaming v1.1 to v1.5 as it's more in line with what this expansion is.
The expansion is properly in the works and its contents have been settled. I was originally going to tweak some of the events, and bring back the NPC events, but I decided to instead leave the existing content as it is, and focus on bringing back the NPC e...

Hana and Mei earning candy together with Ellie (MisaelDm's oc)!
Quick notice. the models are not quite ready for the sneak peeks yet. I'll be cooking for a bit longer before sharing the first look for the next project.
There's news on two fronts. Development has started on the next project, and development has resumed on Hana Exposure!

DLsite. The process with them has been very messy all throughout. For now I'll just talk about the main issue, which was the mess that was getting the game through their verification process.
I properly censored the game, and sent...
2023-09-11 19:27:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe game was mistakenly already released over at DLsite. It wasn't supposed to release yet. There is also an issue causing it to not be downloadable. This issue is on DLsite's side. I'm currently trying to solve both issues, which would be unreleasing the game, and also work out the issue of it not being downloadable so that it doesn't happen du...

The final and complete v1.0 build of "Hana Exposure! A Blooming Flower~" has been built and sent for verification to the online stores. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the verification process of each store to end so it can finally be released!
So long as there is no issues with the verification, the process should not take more than...

After being away from for the better part of the past month, I finally returned a couple of days ago and have properly resumed development.
While I was away the only things I was able to do was some progress with sprites/CGs and a bit of polishing with the Japanese translation. Nothing really substantial unfortunately.
Now that I'm b...

Due to some important circumstances I will unfortunately be away for the better part of the next four weeks, and during that time I'll be very limited in the deving that I'll be able to do.
The internal release date for early May will no longer be viable. I'll instead be pushing it to early June.

Progress log here! Hopefully the last one before release.
For starters, the Japanese translation. As of right now, the translation is done all the way up to level 6. The epilogue level is being translated, and it should be done in just a few more days. There is also a few minor things that will need to be translated, such as the descriptio...
2023-04-01 15:33:15 +0000 UTC View PostA Japanese translation for the game is in the works.
The game now contains both English and Japanese, and you can switch between both whenever you want.
This one is an important feature announcement. So I'll be making this as a public post.
This post will be very brief, as there are a few parts of this that haven't b...

This month's main post is a public one, which is a big feature announcement.
I will be sharing all of the details about the translation in next month's progress log.
There's been a lot of progress done in the general polish of the game with things such as a few more event revamps which I did so the text and contents were in prime con...

First progress log of the year!
I added one more activity to the game which takes place in the town, and will provide Hana with an additional event at every level. The reason I added this despite the game already being content complete, is because there was CG made for the epilogue which also fit a previous idea I had for a set of events i...

Here is the last progress log for the year!
This one is fairly short, as it is more of a continuation of the previous log.
For starters, the memory system itself is now complete and fully playable. Every event from every POI is in it, along with all of the level up events, and all of the events from the epilogue level. All full...

Let's talk about the gallery system.
The plan for this month was to develop the gallery system, but as usual, a few other things ended up getting in the way and were added into the plan.
For starters, I originally intended for the gallery to be something accessible through some interactable object in the world. Something like a...

Happy to announce that the game is fully playable from start to finish. From prologue, to epilogue!
Needless to say it was a huge task. The events during level 6 were for the most part the longest events in the game, and due to how those events go, they had some pretty unique requirements when it came down to coding their routines. One cas...

Progress log here.
On the previous log I talked about the writing related stuff, and how the goal for this month was to code the events. Unfortunately, that didn't go quite as planned.
At the time of writing the previous progress log, I had the written script of the events so to speak, but I forgot to mention that I hadn't actually t...
