It's been quite some time since we've made a post and it's time to start getting back into the swing of things. Here is the May newsletter!
Let's get straight to the point! Version 0.7 is coming out on June 7th, 2026!
This is a very unique update as there isn't as much major content but instead a huge polish push.
We're going to leave surprises for everyone but here are the major changes in v0.7
Stage 4 has been completely reworked.
New event stage
Game Balance & Polish across all stages.
While there is no new story stage, this is a pretty major update. Stage 4 feels fresh while the new event stage is a change of pace.
We'll have our normal extensive change log when the patch is released.
Long story short, we had to rewrite the entire game. We refactored the entire project...
It's been about 3 years since we've started this project and our code was reaching points of friction with the team. This project started as a fun demo concept but we were not prepared for the scope of this game. This refactoring won't seem much for you all, but we promise it's a win for everyone.
Cirno has been traveling around showing off v0.6!
GameOn Expo in Phoenix, AZ
LvlUp Expo in Las Vegas, NV
Did you like the new setup? We have spectator computers, new speakers and just a better experience~ We can't bring this to every convention but we'll try!
Cirno has 2 more events where you can give her beloved headpats!
Animazement in Raleigh, NC on 22-24 May 2026
Touhoufest in Torrance (Los Angeles), CA on 19-21 Jun 2026
We did have a setback but our refactoring is making us move so much faster. We're still on pace and we're starting to see the finish line. I'm sure it's been said many times but we are seriously making progress and we hope that v0.7 shows this.
(As a reminder, we will not release stage 5 or 6 until v1.0 so everyone can appreciate the entire story.)
