Happy New Year & Wallpaper (Patreon)

Hello world! KS here~This post is a bit long, I apologize in advance, but there are some important things (New Year, Wallpaper, Chika) I want to tell you, so I hope you'll read them all if you have time.Also, I have released the official walkthrough now. You can check them out in the now updated New Horizon 0.3 #Public post or in my Discord server.

Hello 2025

Happy New Year! We're in 2025 now! I know I'm a bit late to 2025 than everybody else, but hear me out please.I was down with a pretty severe flu since the last few days of last year, and I had only mostly recovered now. I've been bed-ridden for almost two weeks. That means I spent my birthday and New Year's Eve in my bed coughing and being miserable.Yeah, it wasn't fun but I didn't choose to be sick either, just being unlucky. I was also very busy prior to getting flu, as you all know I didn't get any holiday during Christmas season, and rather my work got even busier during that period.Fear not, I have almost recovered by now! Now I got tons of work and things to catch up to. Don't worry, I have arranged a little holiday for myself in the coming weeks, so KS won't be a skeleton any time soon.Anyway, I hope you all had a great holiday season and enjoyed some quality time with your friends, family, and loved ones.

For those who knew and remembered my birthday and gave me a good wish and blessings in my server, thank you all. I have seen them, but I didn't have the energy to answer to them at that time. However, I have received them, so I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Wallpaper for everyone

Some people have been asking about the banner art for my Patreon page and also my Discord server, and they seem to really like it. That's why I decided to make it a wallpaper for everyone to celebrate the new year and two years of New Horizon.Thank you all for supporting me and the game for such a long time. We'll continue to stride forward.

Regarding Chika

Here I will be addressing some concerns and misunderstandings regarding Chika in the update 0.3.

It's interesting to see the many reactions from the players about Chika's development so far. I see some prejudice and some are very quick to judge. If you just want quick sex and super fast relationships then my game is definitely not for you. This is more about how characters overcome their past and sufferings, and really get to know each other. Just like real life. You learn more about someone as you spend more time with them, in various different situations. You can choose to love them, or ignore them. You're not forced to go with any specific route.I guess some immediately think it's gonna be love or relationship from the start. However, it could be friendship or just wanna help someone get a better life. She helped your sister too. Many don't realize that a lot of love also starts from friendships.I would say that you shouldn't see the girls in my game as purely "Love interests". They're just more prominent characters that are featured in the stories and ones that you can interact with. I don't consider my game a typical AVN. I'm merely writing stories I want to present.That being said, you can still help Chika, without being in love with her.

A girl you met a week ago and only talked to a few times won't just magically spills all of the secrets and stories about herself. You have to know that relationship takes time, especially for someone who was hurt so many times like her, if you're really interested in her, help her open up her heart, instead of giving her another bad experience.There's a lot you need to uncover about her story to fully understand, and the truth will surprise you.This has become like a test or experiment. Some stop caring and walk away as soon as they see that there are some indications that she's a "prostitute"(the quotation marks matter, as you will understand it in future updates), and never try to fully understand her. They will miss out on some good stories, and the truth is not what everybody thinks.As for those few who's calling this NTR or not vanilla, well... All I can say is that you don't really fully understand the meaning of those tags, and you made judgement too quickly. Her story is only just starting. If you actually try to overcome your prejudice and try to uncover her, you will know more about the truth. But if you still decide against it, it's very easy to end her route as well. I didn't force you to go through with her story, it's completely up to you. What I can say is that this is not a NTR game, and is vanilla. You will understand if you're willing to play future updates and actually uncover her story.

Do you really expect every girl you see to be a complete virgin? That no girls had prior sex experience with their ex or whoever? We already have some girls that are virgins. I don't want to make it into some virgin collector game. Don't forget, MC isn't a virgin as well, he had an ex, so please stop having double standards. My game has its own unique audience. So for those who don't like it, you got like at least 1000 other AVNs to try, no need to leave useless hateful comments or reviews about that one thing you don't agree with(the toxic players). Provide some actual feedback please.It’s okay to not like her, I respect your preference. But I definitely have no respect for those that make fun of her suffering and status, or leave 1 star review just because they hate “prostitute”. They’re the exact kind of people Chika is referring to in the story, and the reason why we can’t have nice things. Everyone and every job deserve respect, even if you don’t agree with or like it.Whatever the case is, I stand by the story I’m creating, I don’t really care if some fainthearted players don’t like it because they can’t take it. If they’re not willing to try to see past their own prejudice and judgment, and watch how the story plays out, then I don’t really want them to play my game either. This is clearly not for them.

People will keep talking, while I keep cooking.

Anyway, that was a long post. I originally didn't plan to make this, but I guess I should make some things more clear here.

I hope you all will have a good 2025, and yes, including you haters. I don't discriminate. Have a good one.

Sincerely, KS

中文公告

嗨嗨大家好！我是KS~ 這篇文章有點長，我先在此致歉，但有一些重要的事情（新年祝賀、桌布壁紙、千佳）想跟大家說，希望你們有時間的話可以全部看完。另外，我已經發布了官方攻略。你們可以在更新後的New Horizon 0.3 #Public貼文或我的Discord伺服器中查看。

迎向2025年

新年快樂！我們現在已經進入2025年了！我知道我比其他人都晚向2025年問好，但請聽我解釋。我從去年最後幾天就得了嚴重的流感，直到這幾天才大致康復。我整整臥床將近兩週。這意味著我的生日和除夕夜都是在床上咳嗽度過，非常難受。是的，這一點也不好玩，但我也不是自願生病的，只是運氣不好。在得流感之前我也非常忙碌，如你們所知，我在聖誕節期間沒有任何假期，反而那段時間的工作更加繁忙。不過我現在已經差不多康復了！現在有很多工作和事情要趕。別擔心，我已經為自己安排了小假期，所以KS不會那麼快變成骷髏的。總之，希望你們都度過了愉快的假期，享受了與朋友、家人和愛人們相處的美好時光。

對於那些知道並記得我生日，在我的伺服器裡給予祝福的人，謝謝你們。我都看到了，只是當時沒有精力回覆。但我已經收到了祝福，所以我由衷地感謝你們所有人。

給大家的桌布

有些人一直在詢問我Patreon頁面和Discord伺服器的橫幅，他們似乎都很喜歡。因此我決定將它公開，來慶祝新年和新天域兩週年。感謝大家長期以來對我和遊戲的支持。我們會繼續向前邁進。

關於千佳

在這裡我要回應一些關於0.3版本中對於千佳的疑慮和誤解。

看到玩家們對千佳目前發展的各種反應很有趣。我看到一些偏見，有些人很快就下定論。如果你只想要色色和超快速進展的戀愛關係，那麼我的遊戲絕對不適合你。我的遊戲是關於角色如何克服他們的過去和痛苦，以及真正了解彼此。就像現實生活一樣。當你在不同場合花時間與某人相處時，你會更了解他們。你可以選擇愛她們，也可以選擇忽視她們。遊戲沒有強迫玩家走任何特定路線。

我想有些人會認為男主女主一開始就該走向愛情或戀愛關係。然而，也可以是單純當朋友或只是想幫助他人過上更好的生活。別忘了她也幫助過你的妹妹。許多人沒有意識到很多愛情也是從友情開始的。我想說的是，你不應該把我遊戲中的女孩純粹視為"戀愛對象"。她們只是故事中相對突出的角色，是你可以互動的對象。我不認為我的遊戲是典型的AVN。我只是在寫我想呈現的故事。話雖如此，你不用和千佳交往也仍然可以幫助她。

一個你一週前才認識、只交談過幾次的女孩不會馬上吐露所有關於自己的秘密和故事。你必須知道建立關係需要時間，特別是對於像她這樣多次受傷的人來說，如果你真的對她感興趣，就幫助她打開心扉，而不是給她另一次糟糕的經歷。關於她的故事還有很多需要你去揭開才能完全理解，而真相會讓你感到驚訝。

這已經變成了一個測試或實驗。有些人一看到她可能是"妓女"的跡象就嗤之以鼻（引號很重要，未來的更新中你就會理解），從未試圖完全理解她。真相並不是每個人想的那樣。

至於那些說這是NTR或不是純愛的人...我只能說你們並不真正完全理解那些標籤的含義，而且你們太快下判斷了。她的故事才剛剛開始。如果你真的試著克服你的偏見並試圖了解她，你會知道更多關於她的真相。但如果你仍然不喜歡她，要結束她的路線也很容易。我沒有強迫你走完她的故事，這完全取決於你。我能說的是這不是一個NTR遊戲，而是純愛。如果你願意玩未來的更新並真正揭開她的故事，你就會明白。

還有，你真的認為你看到的每個女生都會是處女嗎？沒有過與前任或其他人的性經驗？故事裡已經有一些處女角色了。我不想把它變成某種處女收集遊戲。別忘了，男主也不是處男，他也有前女友，所以拜託不要雙重標準。我的遊戲有自己獨特的受眾。所以對於那些不喜歡的人，你們有至少1000多個其他AVN可以嘗試，沒必要留下無用的仇恨評論或評價（惡毒玩家）。請提供一些實際的反饋。不喜歡她沒關係，我尊重你們的偏好。但我絕對不尊重那些嘲笑她的痛苦和處境，或者只因為討厭"妓女"就給一星評價的人。他們正是故事中千佳所提到的那種人，也是為什麼我們不能擁有美好事物的原因。每個人和每份工作都值得尊重，即使你不認同或不喜歡。

無論如何，我堅持我創作的故事，我不在乎一些玩家因為承受不了而不喜歡它。如果他們不願意試著克服自己的偏見和判斷，看看故事如何發展，那麼我也不想讓他們玩我的遊戲。這顯然不適合他們。

人們會繼續說嘴，而我會繼續創作。

好了，這是一篇很長的公告。我原本沒打算寫這個，但我想我應該在這裡把一些事情說得更清楚。

希望你們都能有個美好的2025年，是的，包括那些黑粉。我不歧視的。
