Happy Easter 2019!
As you can clearly tell, this year’s May artwork is Easter-themed and, as voted by our patrons, Taiko ended up being the victim featured character this time! He looks kinda embarrassed, though. Is it because of the hoodie? Hmm, the colors look somewhat familiar. I wonder if a certain someone is behind this…
Maybe Taiko and Raiko have even more in common than we thought!
Anyway, if you’re a patron, you can download a higher resolution version of the artwork here. There is also a transparent version included with no background at all. You know, in case you want to plaster Taiko onto something else w
As always, the image has also been added to our gallery. Now with all that said and done… Happy Easter, everyone!

Weekly Update #244: BG Progress & Monthly Art
Alrighty, today, we’ll just have a really quick update!
Originally, I wanted to give you a look at the finished Exhibition Room background, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to 100% finish it today. There really isn’t that much left now, though. I just have to finish shading the Utahraptor (it’s 30% done), maybe fix the trees that can be seen through the windows and, finally, add some more light reflections on the glassy surfaces.
Outside of those things, it’s done and I’m pretty happy with how it’s turned out, so I can’t wait to share it!
Patrons will get a look this coming week and I guess I’ll post it publicly next Saturday.
You should still keep an eye on our Twitter tomorrow, however, as I’m going to share something else: our monthly artwork for May!
If you’re a patron, you can already check it out over here and, as always, download a hi-res version of it.
Speaking of Patreon artworks, the poll for next month’s is live now, too! So, if you want to have a say in which SHINRAI character is going to cosplay as a character from Danganronpa, head over ASAP and cast your vote! The poll will be open until the 1st of May!
That’s more or less it in regards to this week’s news. I was mostly busy with the background and our monthly artwork, but starting from next week, I can finally tackle some new tasks again! Guess I’ll tell you more about that in our next weekly update, so until then, please enjoy the rest of your weekend and take care! :3

Weekly Update #243: More BG Progress & Site Update
Last week, I was talking about the progress I have made working on the next piece of background art for GENBA no Kizuna. Since then, even more progress has been made and the background now features even more detail than before! While patrons can check out some WIP-peeks at the whole thing over on Patreon, I have also posted a little preview on my personal Twitter the other day:

Weekly Update #242: BG Progress
So, what have I been up to over this past week? Well, as the title already gave away… background art!
Right now, I’m busy working on the next BG for GENBA no Kizuna, which is going to give us a look at another part of the Kaseki Residence. Namely, one of the two exhibition rooms! As such, there is some interesting stuff to look at, from fossils to life-sized dinosaurs! Patrons can already get an early look at a number of WIP-previews, the latest one just posted today!

Weekly Update #241: CG Progress
Just as promised in our previous blog post, I’ve used this past week to finish my part on GENBA no Kizuna‘s first CG. What exactly does that mean? Well, outside of adding and fixing some details, I took care of drawing all the facial variations. If you’ve played SHINRAI, you can imagine this CG to be similar to the one used during the car ride. It will be used over a number of text boxes and feature various expressions for Keiichi. Five in total, to be precise. Patrons can actually get an updated look at the CG over here.

Weekly Update #240: Himatsu & Terano Sprite Progress
And it’s time for another quick update yet again! Dang, somehow this past week just flew by…
I’m still pretty satisfied with the progress I’ve made in regards to GENBA no Kizuna, though, so let’s take a look at it, shall we?
For the most part, I’ve been focusing on finally fixing up the sprites for Himatsu and Terano, as well as his big birdie Alexis. All their sprite variations are finally done and ready for proper coloring and shading by Natsu! Since she’s busy working on her NaNoRenO project Helica Ascent, however, it’ll be a little while longer before I can show you the finished sprites.

Weekly Update 239: DPA & BGM Progress
Today’s update is going to be on the shorter side again, so let’s jump right into what’s new this week!
As you can already tell from the title of this posting, I’ve been working on the remaining DPA content that will be featured in our extended demo, which mainly involved lots of writing and research. Here’s a little preview of one of the new trivia entries:

Happy White Day 2019!
Last year, Taiko was here, dressed up rather fancily, to wish you a happy White Day! This time, it’s his dad’s turn! And just like his son, Shinketsu has also dressed up very elegantly! At least, according to his definition of the word “elegant”…
Patrons can download a hi-res version, as well as just Shinketsu without any background, over here. Also, don’t forget: if you’re a patron, you can take part in our next poll and have a say in which character will be featured in next month’s illustration!
As always, this piece has also been added to our gallery, so for even more SHINRAI– and GENBA-related artwork by us and other very talented artists, be sure to check it out!
And with all that said and done, once again: Happy White Day, everyone!

Weekly Update #238: Social Media & Patreon Updates
Alright, let’s start today’s blog post with a little social media update: you might have already noticed, but at the top of this website, a little camera icon has now joined the row of square-shaped quick links!
That’s right, we have finally created an Instagram account for Gosatsu! As of right now, it’s pretty barren, but content will be added very soon, especially once we get closer to the release of our extended demo. So, if Instagram is your social media outlet of choice, please follow us over there to keep up-to-date with all our future development progresses and updates!
