Hi! I was wondering if there will be the option to switch between the new and old sprites for Beta Boyfriend in SSWK?

Yes, we plan on adding that. We haven’t forgotten about them. We’ve just had more support requests/questions/etc. than expected since the game’s launch, so we haven’t had enough time to finish them. They’ll definitely be ready within the week, however.

We have written a detailed breakdown of what to expect post-release on our Itch dev blog “Release Details”.

We have released the original beta sprites. 

You can use this within the steam version of the game as well.  They can be manually installed in the same way. 

We’ll upload an additional branch of the game that’ll automatically download them on Steam, as well.

Hi RW! I find SSWK really charming, keep up the good work! I was never into the flirty guy trope BUT! Flirt is my favorite so far, so that took me by surprise. He's adorably sweet. :') And funny haha

Hi Anon, 

Thanks for your kind message and we most certainly plan to keep working hard.

The Flirt was never designed to be the super aggressive flirt type but someone who wants to be loved. I am sure he would be very proud of himself that he has made a flirt convert out of you.

Have a wonderful day, Anon.

I don't know how many of these types of messages you get but I wanted to say I really love your game! Your game just sort of floated across my dash and I was excited to play but just like....wow! The level of skill and talent in the writing and art???? It really knocked my socks off! The routes are all so different and interesting! Though I think I like the 'Bad Boy' one best! It really was my perfect boyfriend!

Thank you so much for this message~

The team loves to hear that people are enjoying SSWK. Hope you have a fantastic weekend because your message has made the whole team smile =D

Signed and Sealed With a Kiss Release Date + Contest!

reineworks:

We’re proud to announce that Signed and Sealed With a Kiss will release on April 30, 2019 on itch.io and Steam! We’re also in the process of getting the game on other web platforms as well.

If you haven’t heard about the game yet, you can check it out here!

image

Pricing info:

Until April 29, you can pre-order the game on itch.io for $5, after which the price will rise to $8. For the first release week, the game will be on sale for $5 on Steam

image

Now, you can also purchase physical charms for your favorite Boyfriends on our BigCartel!

Pre-release contest:

A long, long while ago, we held a contest for a fan to come up with a concept for a random event to be added into the game. However, they unfortunately never submitted an answer.  With the base game’s release coming April 30th*, this also happens to be a great time to hold another contest.

So, we’ve decided to create a new contest (with fixed answers) to not only add an additional random event into the game post-release but also give away a free Boyfriend charm to one (or two, if we get at least 300 survey replies–and we’re presently sitting at just under 200) lucky winner. The deadline to submit your survey is April 30th, of course.

You can fill out the survey here!

February 2019 Announcements Recap

tophatstudios:

Over the past month, we announced a lot of games. Our upcoming year is looking really exciting - we haven’t even announced everything yet! 

Since we announced so many projects, however, we know that some may have slipped through the cracks, so we wanted to put all of the announcements in one place. We also previewed our upcoming storefront earlier this month, Hat Rack, which we’ll put pictures of at the end of the post.

So without further adieu, here were our announcements (in chronological order):


The Seven Wonders of St. Clementine - (Developer: Imagine Fantasia)

What starts with a simple rumor about the supposed mysterious lore of their school becomes an enthralling mystery to the students of St. Clementine. What dark secrets will they find, or will they be able to survive? 

The 7 Wonders of St. Clementine is a Horror/Thriller Visual Novel. Imagine Fantasia released a short teaser ahead of their convention appearances this month too, which you can see here: https://tophatstudios.itch.io/7-wonders-of-st-clementine-teaser


Rainbow Dreams - (Developer: Epic Works)

Join Luka Sanguis, a college student unwittingly married to a Goddess, as he uncovers the mysteries of the world around him in this slice of life/comedy visual novel. Living a double life, Luka tangles with both his personal troubles as well as his role in saving the world from Daemons.

The steam page is up for the game, which can be checked out here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/590800/Rainbow_Dreams/

A demo and kickstarter are currently planned to be launched during March.


The Sanctum - (Developer: La Cucaracha Studios)

My Days with the Demoness - (Developer: Blissful Works)

image

This visual novel follows a NEET mechanic who one day creates a portal which brings the demon lord’s daughter to earth; she decides to stay with him to improve his “miserable life”. Will she be successful?

Synergia - (Developer: Radi Art)

Synergia is a yuri thriller that takes place in a cyberpunk future, wrapped up in a beautifully unique, vibrant neon aesthetic. At the end of the world, sometimes love is the ultimate crime.

We’re especially excited about this title -  it features unique aesthetic identity helps mold a fascinating, immersive world for players to get lost in. Alongside a breathtaking amount of content (near 100 backgrounds and CGs, and 20+ characters), you’ll want to stay tuned for this one!

Synergia has a incredible and vivid soundtrack, composed by one of the composers of Katawa Shoujo, Aoiichinisan. In order introduce the world and music of Synergia to you while we count down to the game’s release, we’ll be periodically releasing special DATA LOGS, the first of which can be seen below:
