With August just having started, I thought that for today’s blog post, we could take a look at our major tasks and goals for the month. Before we get into those, however, I’d like to talk about our goals from here on out in general, so let’s get right into it!

Weekly Update #206: Rei Sprite Progress
In last week’s blog post, I gave you a look at the progress for Shinketsu‘s sprite variations. This week, we’re going to take a look at our forensics expert Rei Shirayuki, since she is actually the next character to be introduced in the game, right after our weird doc!

Weekly Update #205: Shinketsu Sprite Progress
As you can tell from the title of today’s blog post, I have finally gotten back to some sprite work for GENBA no Kizuna. After working some more on the script and the Main Hall, I have decided to tackle the rest of the assets for the scene following the events of our demo. In it, Keiichi will come across our rather eccentric medical examiner Dr. Shinketsu Kikai. So over the past couple of days, I’ve been working on his sprites and thought I might as well share some work-in-progress glimpses with you!

Weekly Update #204: The Main Hall
Over the last few days, I have finally continued work on the background for the Main Hall of the Kaseki Residence, featured in GENBA no Kizuna. So today, I’d like to talk a little about it. But before that, let’s take a look at it first, shall we?

Weekly Update #203: Plans For July & Patreon Overview
Jurassic June was a rather busy month with many things to take care of within a specific amount of time. Thankfully, July is going to be a bit more relaxed though, with no fast approaching deadlines for half a dozen of things. That doesn’t mean I want to take it easy, however. On the contrary, there are still a lot of things I want to work on, so let’s talk about these today!

Weekly Update #202: GENBA no Kizuna’s Suspects
And so, we have (unfortunately) reached the end of Jurassic June. As mentioned at the very beginning, we wanted this month to focus on the suspect characters appearing in our next murder mystery visual novel GENBA no Kizuna. One of them became the subject of this month’s special artwork and the other three were introduced through a little poster in last week’s blog post.
But now I guess it’s finally time to shed some more light on these Warriors of the Mesozoic!

Summer Sale 2018
As of today, summer has officially started! And with it, Steam‘s annual Summer Sale!
Just like last year, we have decided to join in, so if you’re looking for something to help you (or a friend) deal with the incoming summer heat, how about spending your time with a chilling murder mystery?

Weekly Update #200: (Almost) 4 Years Later
Welp, so here we are… the 200th weekly update. Holy crapperoni. I honestly cannot believe I’ve been doing this for so long now.
We’ve recently passed the 1 year anniversary of our website too, the first post on it made on June 3, 2017.
As for the very first update I ever made, it was posted on August 14, 2014 (Raiko’s birthday). So it’s been almost 4 years ever since.
Pretty crazy to think about it. However, the fact that I’ve actually managed to keep doing these for so long, without skipping a single week, is definitely something I’m rather proud of. If I recall correctly, there’s only been a single time when the update needed to be postponed by a day. And I’m pretty sure I’ve never skipped one entirely.
Either way, I still remember how nervous I was when I was starting out with those postings over on Tumblr. I kept worrying about whether or not I’d even be able to post an update every week. Would we be able to make enough progress or could I find enough interesting topics so that there would always be something to talk about? It seemed kind of intimidating and so I often considered switching to monthly updates instead. However, in the end, I somehow managed to prevail and now here we are, almost 4 years and 200 weekly updates later.

Weekly Update #199: GENBA no Kizuna’s Soundtrack
If you’ve kept an eye on our Twitter or YouTube channel recently, you might have already noticed, but we have finally uploaded another little video, previewing some BGM tracks for GENBA no Kizuna, composed by none other than Solo Acapello! And if you support us on Patreon, you can even download the full versions of the tracks, as well as the ones used in our demo, right here!
That’s a lot of links for just two sentences, but… with that out of the way, let’s talk a little more about the music today!
