Heads up folks... It seems the news updates from our posts and Discord server haven't reached here over the last few weeks, so I figure I'd better give a bit of a notice lest people be disappointed / waiting anxiously.
- November = Agents of Heels Update (v0.10)
- December = Noemi's Toscana Rebirth Update (v0.4)
- January = Agents Update (v0.11)
- February = Noemi's Update (Frankie OS)
- March = Agents Update (v0.12)
As y'all know now, and was discussed here, November's update was extensive... so much so it took nearly two months and had the same amount of CG's and Writing as 2 updates. We had aimed to get it finished sooner than Mid-to-Late December, hence we promised to keep Noemi's v0.4 on the board for the fans, but we couldn't. Noemi was pushed back to January for AoH's Mission #2 to be completed, and given I was able to get all the actual game work done on Noe by the time AoH's full v0.10 released, we thought we'd get through it faster and be able to do Noemi's v0.4 and Agents' v0.11 in January... long story short, and with no excuses, the art took as long as it always does and we missed that target too. That's on us, we fully admit.
What has gotten lost in the last week or two is that we cut AoH's v0.11 and pushed it back, opting instead to get an Engine Update in at the end of this month (January) that would allow us to get back on track. Our plan is to get in the kinds of functions as have been requested here, such as a better Save UI with more slots and a skip function, as much as we can get in functionally in a quick update cycle. That way the game we have now is all the easier to play and enjoy, plus we have less transition work to do after the game's content wraps, so we can move to the next one all the sooner. We're also updating the early scenes that Unshi wrote in his second language, replacing them with my writings, again to speed up that transition period and make the game all the better.
Now, we've not been able to get to that in January, but we're going to do it in early Feb and give it to all those backers who supported us at that tier this month (again January) because we promised it and we owe it to those people. We're not going to leave them hanging on what we had trouble with. After that, we're going back to our regular schedule of updates, aiming to get back on track with Frankie's OS in Feb/Early March, then really hit AoH's v0.11 hard.
We thank y'all for your fandom and excitement, we're apologetic that this all got a bit muddled, but you can rest assured that we're not resting while we get our passions on the page and get back on track making our kick ass content! Cheers all!

This is our actual schedule
- November = Agents of Heels Update (v0.10 Pre-Release)
- December = Agents of Heels Update (v0.10.b Full Release)
- January = Noemi's Toscana Rebirth Update (v0.4)
- February = Agents of Heels Update (v0.10 Engine Update Release) + Noemi's Update (Frankie OS)
- March = Agents of Heels Update (v0.11 Release)
We are bummed it had to go this way, but AoH caused the problem with a double-stuffed update and AoH has to be the one to take a small hit in return to get back on track! In a few month's time, all that will mater is we have a super sweet Mission #2 and a pile of content after too, for both our games!
Now all the best folks, let's ll go make something sexy as fuck, eh?

- December = Noemi's Toscana Rebirth Update (v0.4)
- January = Agents Update (v0.11)
- February = Noemi's Update (Frankie OS)
- March = Agents Update (v0.12)
