Slowly but surely ~
I still don't have a lot to say about the remake/revamp so far because nothing really exciting is happening behind the scene haha xD
I just hope I'll be done with the base (meaning copy paste the writing for all the routes except for Haru that I'm rewriting entirely) before the end of this year. Fingers crossed, but no promises.

As for a sequel and for a merch store...that's something that I have in the corner of my mind for a while now, so it might not be impossible to see out there someday ! I'm already planning on releasing a paid digital artbook with the release. So far I'm having so much fun doing it even though there is not a lot ✦

In any case thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to me and keep me motivated ♡

Thank you so much for the kind words and the time you spent playing the game, it means a lot to me and I'm happy that you are looking forward for future projects ! ♥

Thank you so much for the kind words and support, it means a lot to me ❤
Still no release date though, but I'm very slowly -but surely- working on it again, one step at a time✦

Hello, sorry for the late answer !

Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances on both me and Cirro's (the writer) side, the project has some difficulties to go as smoothly as we wanted for the past years, especially the two last ones. We are waiting a bit more to make any big decisions/announcement which might change the course of the project, but some news will be due early 2026.

Thank you for your interest, support and kind words, and wishing you a happy end of the year and holidays !✿

Thank you so much for your kind words. Even though I'm very slow on game dev right now, words like this really keep me motivated. It means so much to me ❤

Hello, I'm sorry I have no clue how to fix this issue or even what means the error as I am not familiar with JoiPlay. I hope you'll find a solution to it and be able to play the way you want✿

Hello ! Thank you so much for the kind words, they are much needed and appreciated ♥ I'm sorry for the late answer, I'm not too often on my computer these days but you can always reach to me via Discord and I'll answer as soon as I can ✿ (though it might take some time since I'm not too often on Discord either)

Hello !
Sorry there is no plan for android port anytime soon, as I have no clue how it works and that it is really not my priority. I'm keeping the idea in a corner of my mind, but there is no promise that it will exist someday...

Hello, sorry for the late answer. Thank you so much for all your kind words, they are really appreciated and much needed these past few days ❤

Hello, thank you for coming back and check on the progress ✿
We unfortunately don't have a lot to update you on since last time, but we still are making a few progress. Slowly (as the writer and myself need to regularly fight back life and its trials, haha...), but surely ! Cirro the writter should be able to make some more progress before the end of summer, if all goes well.
Thank you again for your patience and support ! It means a lot to me and the rest of the team ♡

Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me ♡

Hello ! Thank you for the kind words and support over the years, it really means a lot to me ❤✦
As for the development progress, it's unfortunately slowed down a lot due to personal/irl issues and worries, but it's still going on.
Initial release date was for the end of 2025, but...it's most likely not happening anymore. New estimated release date is hopefully sometimes around mid-2026 though I sadly can't make any promises on that.

The good news is that I'm able to work a bit more consistently on the remake these past few days and I'm posting progress from time to time on my bluesky account so you might have more chances to stumble into updates over there ~

Thank you again for reaching out, and don't hesitate to ask me anything if you have more questions ✿

Thank you, I'm glad to hear you are looking forward to the full game ! ❤
As for Toshio...well, I'll let you discover what's up in his route once it's released. You may or may not change your mind after that x)

Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot to me and seeing you loving the game this much really is a great source of motivation and comfort !♥✿

Thank you so so much for the kind words, it genuinely made me teary (in a good way, don't worry !). Knowing that there are people like yourself loving the OG and being so patient with me and my workflow means so much to me ♡ I'm getting there, very slowly but surely, and hopefully the remake/revamp will not disappoint. At least I'm doing my best, whenever I can, and kind comments and cheering like yours always keep me motivated. Thank you❤✦

I'm so sorry for the late answer, I didn't see your comment earlier ;-;
Thank you for loving Ikki and the game so far (well, at the time you wrote your comment haha). I admit the game is a bit on the longer side, but please take your time and don't feel pressured to even finish it if you don't feel like it. It's totally okay ✿

Omg I'm so sorry I didn't notice your comment here ! I'm so late, but thank you so much for the love you have for the game, it means a lot to me ♡
Also happy to see a Toshio enjoyer, it always makes my day ✿

Thank you so much for the kind words and support ! It really helps me staying motivated ♡

Yes, trying my best working on this aspect too for the next version. Hope I'll do it a bit better this time around ✿
In any case, thank you for playing the game and liking the art ! It means a lot to me♡

Thank you for the kind words ! Hopefully I'll be I'l be able to work on the full version sometime in the future ~

Sorry for the late answer ! Thank you so much for playing and loving the og, and for looking forward to the remake's release (though it's progressing really slowly these past few months, but will be released eventually) ! It means a lot to me ♡✦

Sorry for the late answer and thank you so much for the kinds words ! I'm actually happy that Toshio became an inside joke of yours and your friends haha x)

The remake/revamp is going really slowly these past few months unfortunately (due to several worries in my personal life) so I'm mostly working on it when I have the time or motivation, but it will be released eventually ! Through the year of 2026, hopefully...

Thank you again for your enthusiasm and support, it really made my day ♡

Sorry for the late answer ! I'm so happy you like the artstyle ~
Thank you also so much for the kind words, I appreciate it a lot and it keeps me motivated ! ♡

Hello ! Thank you for loving the OG game so far, it really means a lot to me ❤
Though the remake won't have a lot of difference in Ikki's, Toshio's and Yuta's stories, there will be a bit more lore on Ryu's and Kenji's, as well as a good revamped chunk for Haru's route so hopefully you'll still like them in the remake ~
As for a Steam version...unfortunately not, as I can't afford to pay 100$ for each free game I want to release. Thus, the remake will be only available on itchio for now✿

Aww thank you, it makes me so happy to read this !❤

Thank you so so much for all the kind words, I appreciate it a lot and it really warms my heart ! ♡

For Aya's name, I am not planning on having a changeable name for her, but I do plan to have some other games in the future which you will be able to change the name of the MC (I do already have 2 or 3 projects already with renable MCs, if ever you are curious about it) ~
And as for an android version, unfortunately it isn't my priority, but I'd like to make the remake and my future games playable on browser if possible, which might be an okay alternative to an android version ? I'll see what I can do about it

Good luck for any projects you might try on your own as well ! Ren'Py (the software I'm using for Fujiwara) is really beginner friendly and it is rather easy to make a decent project with all the tutorial and resources you will find, even if you have 0 to few programming skills✿✧

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'll pass along the compliments to the team members working on it (as I'm only the director for this one, haha). I'm happy that you are looking forward to the full game and routes when it releases✦♡

Thank you for your kind words ! The development process has slowed down a lot due to personal reason on both the writer side and my side, but rest assured we're still working on it as best as we can ✿

Hello ! Sorry for the late answer and thank you so much for the kind words ~
Happy you noticed the small cameos too ✦

Hang in there, you can do it ! xD
I'll try to make Haru a bit less "bitchy" and nutsblocking in the remake, but I can make any promises about it, haha (> w <)
I'm taking into account the feedback though and I'll see if I can at least ease it a bit✿

Sorry for tha late answer ! Thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me and makes my day✿
And don't worry, even though there was backlash I don't plan on deleting the OG, as it really is dear to my heart and a "relic" of the past. A bit like a souvenir you don't want to throw away as it holds a special place in you (my) heart. I don't consider it like a failure, but a precious memory which makes me reflect on what went wrong and how I can try to do better next time❤

Thank you for all the kind words (and sorry for tha late answer, haha). I'm so happy you love the game this much, and don't you worry as Haru should still have long hair at some point by the players choice ~
In his new route, Haru will have a good amount of hair style so hopefully there will be one that you'll love or appreciate ✿

You came back to the og ?! Thank you, it makes me so happy to know that ! I hope you'll like the full release as well (though not for now, the coding part is taking me forever haha)✿

I'm so happy that you got curious about Haru through the remake's demo, hopefully I'll be able to portray it right this time. I'am glad that you are looking forward for more too !♡

This mean so much for me, thank you for these kind words♡

Hello ~
Thank you so much for loving the game/demo so far ! I don't post a lot about CoF unless we have important info about the progress (next one will be at the end of December this year) but I do post small ones here and there on my twitter account. Here is the link, although you might find more update on my other projects as I'm mostly working on it while waiting for CoF's writer to send her work my way✿
Sorry again for the lack of news, but hopefully it will be more frequent in the following months✦
https://x.com/mbvn_

Thank you so much for the kind words and for loving the game so far♡
All of it wouldn't have been possible without all the talented team members working on it. From the writing to the art and music, they all really are doing an amazing and beautiful work ~

Thank you !
Ikki's, Yuta's and Toshio's routes will only have a few changes, Kenji and Ryu's will have some more details to it and additional scenes while Haru's route will be the one with the most changes ~
But in any case it makes me happy that you are looking forward to the remake✿❤

Thank you ! I'm currently really slowly working on it (mostly because I'm working on other projects at the same time), so unfortunately I don't have any release date for this one...
Still, I'm super happy you like this short version♡

Thank you for loving the game this much, it means a lot to me✿
(also your comment reminds me that I need to update things on itchio too, not just on twitter...)
