The Menu! October 2025 Release Schedule

SHADE's computer is back in action and so too are Ranmabooks releases!

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: Some recent commissions for Halloween might get added to the menu at a later date. The following is what the team confirms will be completed during October. Additionally, since some September content updates have been delayed, the next Patreon art archive will be posted at the end of October. This archive shall contain all art from this month and the previous month.

FUTURE CONTENT PLANS

• Comic Art - Kasumi: "Shop Til You Pop" - November

• Comic Art (Large Project) - Ranma-chan: "Rowdy Rematch". Our next longer comic project which is in active development. The scope has expanded, so we are now targeting around Christmas. Like the Pathfinder book, this comic will be released in its entirety.

• Ranmabooks Comic Art - Ranma Generations: "Dirty Pair Part 3" - is currently on hold. This may be produced depending on how fans receive the new season of Ranma and respond to "Hustlers". If the community has interest, we'll keep making more!

• Virtual Novel - "Hard Training". Development is on hold until November. Once Halloween content is wrapped, we'll resume the project. With all baseline character models completed, production shifts towards additional Chapter 6 event images and character facial reactions to those events.

• 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.
