The Menu! November 2025 Release Schedule

Below is the schedule so far! All release dates are tentative and may be moved up or back depending upon the needs of each project.

Important: The bulk of art production shall be devoted to art for the upcoming Hard Training game and the Kasumi mini-comic, "Shop Til You Pop". Unannounced pinups MIGHT appear, but these won't be confirmed until later in the month. The team's focus is on completing current planned projects to prepare for holiday content and Hard Training's release.

Week 1

• Rest week following a very busy Halloween season. Art updates return in the second week of November.

Week 2

• Fan Request Art (All Patrons) - Akane?!: "Devil Summoner" Solo Edition - November 14th

• Fan Request Art (Disciple+) - Akane?!, Nabiki & Ranma-chan: "Devil Summoner" Dreamer Edition - November 14th

Week 3

FUTURE CONTENT PLANS

• The Naughty Bits remastering project is taking a break in November, but returns in December. That said, new Naughty Bits pages are on the way (such as Hustlers) so this is the direct replacement.

• Ranmabooks Comic Art - Ranma Generations: "Dirty Pair Part 3" - is currently on hold. The fate of this concept will be determined by community interest in the new Ranma anime season and response to the upcoming Hustlers comic set. Quite possibly, we'll put up a poll and patrons will decide if we do this or something else that's not related to the new Ranma anime characters and designs.

• Comic Art (Large Project) - Ranma-chan: "Rowdy Rematch". There's no way to sugarcoat this one. Losing SHADE's work computer at the end of September caused a logjam in production. And even though we now have art humming along again finally, we cannot makeup that lost time. If we must choose between a new RHB comic and our existing Comic Lord projects, we're going to prioritize those supporters whose financial support makes all projects possible. Our focus will thus be on Hard Training. Rowdy Rematch will have to wait until after Christmas season. It's not canceled, and there's still enthusiasm about it, but we don't have time to do everything and something must wait. So it's this and that's where we are at.

• Virtual Novel - "Hard Training". Development has resumed in November. With all baseline character models completed, production shifts towards additional Chapter 6 event images and character facial reactions to those events. We're confident that significant progress shall be made in the second half of November. Once that art is done, the project will shift into a stage of heavy play-testing and fine-tuning.

• As game production is quite demanding, we're unsure exactly when the next chapter of Hard Training will be ready, but patrons should be aware that considerable resources will be invested in the Hard Training game for the foreseeable future. While this means a somewhat lower art output each month, it will give us the best chance to release the completed game by the end of 2025. Admittedly, our technical issues (now solved) have increased the odds of a 1st quarter 2026 release, but we'll still work diligently with the original goal in place.
