First of all, we want to sincerely thank all of you for your incredible support.
Your support motivates us every single day to keep dedicating our full time to this project, improving it update after update, and bringing you new content on a regular basis. It also pushes us to become better developers in every aspect of game development, from art and animation to writing, gameplay design, and overall quality. Seeing your enthusiasm and feedback makes all the effort worth it.
June 12th: New Character Reveal & Community Vote
On June 10th, we will reveal the new character who will receive the main content focus in the next update.
At the same time, we will open a poll where you'll be able to vote for a secondary character who will also receive new content. The total amount of content is not yet finalized, but we wanted to let everyone participate in deciding part of the update's direction.
That same day, we will also release a small game update containing the remaining content that was left unfinished:
The Hokage illustrations (5 in total)
The remaining artwork that still needs to be completed
The rework of the intro
As always, the update will be released at our usual time: 22:00 GMT-3.
Looking Ahead
In the near future (before the new version 0.46), we will be expanding the story and making several improvements to the game featuring the character you voted for in the previous poll: Mei Terumi.
Unfortunately, Mei did not receive content in this latest update because we simply ran out of development time. The number of illustrations and animations ended up growing far beyond our original plans, and the scope became much larger than expected.
Improving the Game
We've also made the decision to start replacing many outdated parts of the game and polish the overall experience even further in our effort to create the best game possible within our capabilities.
This includes improvements to:
Maps
Artwork
Combat systems
Dialogues
Quality of Life features and implementations
We'll gradually reveal these changes over the coming weeks, but in short, we want to take the project more seriously than ever and continue raising the quality standard with every update.
Tsunade
One last thing we'd like to address, since we've received this question quite a few times:
Is this the end of Tsunade's content?
Absolutely not!
In fact, we're just getting started. We still have a HUGE amount of content planned for Tsunade in the future, and many of the ideas we've discussed haven't even made it into the game yet, her love story with Naruto is just about to start.
That said, we do have a question for all of you...
Do you think Tsunade would be open-minded enough to invite other girls to join the fun alongside Naruto?
Or perhaps...
...alongside many Narutos? 👀
We'll leave that for your imagination for now.
Thank you once again for all your support, and we'll see you on June 12th!
P.S. Regarding new v0.46 release date
At the moment, we don't have a specific release date to share yet. As a general reference, our updates usually take around three months to develop, but the exact schedule will be determined as development progresses.
As always, we'll keep you informed and share more precise dates once we're confident in the scope and progress of the update
