Hi guys, hope you've enjoyed the cheats! We've received surprisingly few bug reports, which of course makes us happy campers.

So where are we at with everything else, currently?


We got a (mostly) glowing review on Lewdgamer! Taxcup also got an awesome "endorsement" of Re:maid of sorts on Twitter from a Japanese user, who asked if we are actually Japanese - a nice little FYI and I guess also in effect an FU (EFF YOU) to the people who I guess know nothing of Japan outside of anime and VN's yet still had the gall to suggest the setting wasn't believably Japanese.


Aslo we have some hopefully exciting news - we're experimenting a little with doing some simple animation for a future game or two! Firstly, we're talking to an After Effects guy about doing stuff based on 2D illustrations. We've asked for a sample using a scene from Re:maid - we'll post it once we get it, for feedback from you guys. Secondly, we're talking to a very skilled 3D animator to do a couple of animated scenes for a new short game (no script or anything yet) with this character. We now from the surveys that 3D isn't for everyone, but then again, most 3D looks like shit, while this guy... he knows his shit, seriously, look at that animation. If you're still not convinced, don't lose your shit though: it's a minor project and just, you know, an experiment. If it should end up not well-received, it'll be the last 3D you see from us.


Lasterk is behind schedule on the art for Bronn's Quest for "something unexpected happened" sort of vague reasons. Don't worry though, he's onto it, and stuff like that... well, it happens, but we just want to let you know we're still at the sketch stage. We'll post some more of those (the sketches) for $5+ supporters soon.


The Re:maid "Bonus Chapter" release (the one written by Ben) isn't moving anywhere right now - no problems or anything though, just the entire team focusing on other stuff at the moment. We'll probably still release something new (either a demo or a short game) in April.


Godspeed, brotreons!

Cool to hear that things are coming along, but just out of curiosity... what's with the stretch goal? I noticed that the amount and the reward have changed. Did you decide that Crusoe/Re-Maid are pretty much done regardless (which I could go either way on, really) so there won't be any further expanded content for them, or was there a survey or something that I missed awhile ago where people decided they wanted voice acting?

The stretch goal is still there, we just moved it back a little, and Patreon only displays one stretch goal at a time meaning the "voice acting" stetch goal (which has been there for ages) comes into view, hiding the "remake" stretch goal. The reason we moved it back a little is because when we set it at 18K or whatever I think we had $7-8K in pledges and we really didn't think we'd hit that quite so quickly (!)... but now it seems just around the corner. The thing is that we want to afford ourselves time to work on some other projects before we jump back into a previous game. It's still there though, at $22K or something.

It's good to know that more stuff for either Crusoe or Re;Maid (my fav), is still possible in the future, but I can understand that would want to to take a break and do something new/different for a while (I'm like that too). And you're right, a lot of 3D stuff IS shit, and who wants to play with shit? But I checked out the link you gave, and that is pretty awesome! So considering the great work you've done so far, I'm looking forward to your new stuff :D

People suggested that the setting wasn't believeably Japanese? I wonder how many of those people have actually *been* to Japan. Probably not many.

I've pretty much never seen an example of good 3D, but the video you linked was amazing! I would definitely support the creation of more like it. Great choice Maple!
