General reminder of where things are at the moment!

Is the LLTQ sequel going to be the "LLTQ in space" game you've been teasing or just a regular sequel?#3 by hanako - Jan 4 2022
It's space stuff that we're working on but it's too early to say anything useful#4 by FantasyFan - Jan 4 2022
I look forward to learning more!#5 by hanako - Jan 6 2022
Basic credits have been added to the Night Cascades build and a beta version is now uploaded for the appropriate backers. Emails should be showing up shortly. There's still some art missing, but it's playable.#6 by KitCat - Jan 9 2022
Snif... your play art it so ... nice!#7 by hanako - Jan 16 2022
Current status: First Steam feedback on Night Cascades received. They didn't complain about the SUGGESTIVE SCENE but they did complain about the point-and-click not being playable with a controller, even though it is. I'm looking into methods to make it easier and more obvious to switch into controller mode.#8 by hanako - Jan 18 2022
Demo (with our quick changes to make the controller mode more obvious) got approved, so hopefully the full version will get approval when they look at it again.#9 by hanako - Jan 24 2022
Just checked in on the backend and both versions are marked Approved. So everything's good to go and I'll be putting up official launch dates soon.#10 by FantasyFan - Jan 25 2022
Yay!#11 by hanako - Feb 11 2022
Demo is now sneakily available (because Steam wants them out early in case a games journalist intends to cover them for the festival, even though they probably won't bother).#12 by hanako - Feb 22 2022
Running a twitter giveaway for another logo pendant (or more than one depending on how many people get in on it): https://twitter.com/HanakoGames/status/1496261231023427584#13 by hanako - Mar 2 2022
Night Cascades is out. I am so stressed.#14 by hanako - Mar 3 2022
So, unfortunately, right now it looks like there is basically zero chance of being able to develop a further mystery series with these two.

Oh no! I really enjoyed the story and characters, so that's disappointing. What happened?#16 by hanako - Mar 4 2022
Hit steam and sank like a rock. Very poor seller, unfortunately. There's all sorts of possible reasons why - current world events are kind of distracting, people are busy playing Elden Ring, who knows - but a dud launch almost always stays a dud. Oh well.#17 by FantasyFan - Mar 4 2022
Ugh, I'm sorry. I'd have rushed out to buy it opening day if I hadn't already gotten it from supporting the Kickstarter.#18 by hanako - Mar 4 2022
Hey, no worries. At least we got it done and made something pretty!

teehee..if it was a yaoi game it would've sold well..

Oh my,, what the Vejita what picture!#21 by hanako - Jun 16 2022
I've moved the Cute Bite forum into the Cute Knight section.#22 by FantasyFan - Jun 17 2022
Looking forward to it whenever it comes out!#23 by hanako - Jul 7 2022

Oh, forgot to mention here, the Night Cascades steam cards finally unlocked.#26 by hanako - Oct 29 2022
There appears to be something weird going on with the website, I don't know what, we've sent a message to support, hopefully it'll resolve.#27 by hanako - Dec 29 2022
It's been a shitty holiday season. Had a loss in the family and a bunch of health stuff going on besides that for me and other people, as well as the general financial woes of living in the UK right now and sales being down. I'm saying this here mostly because very few people will see it.#28 by FantasyFan - Dec 29 2022
I'm so sorry.
#29 by MillaMaxwell - Dec 30 2022
I'm sorry for your loss.#30 by Draxynnic - Dec 30 2022
Dang. Sounds like you've had a lot hitting you on top of the general world problems stuff. My condolences. Hope 2023 treats you better!
