Hi everyone!
I've been gone for almost a year. There were many reasons for my long absence and silence, but in a nutshell: my personal life took a very dark turn, and just when things finally started to brighten—the pandemic began. Overall, it's been a year where everything has felt like a constant struggle, and honestly at some point I really wanted to just give up.
I'm still busy picking up the pieces and gluing them back together. But, I'm feeling so much better and I'm also making steady (yet slow) progress with Yakuza Kiss (chapter 03 has been released today!). This project has always been my "happy place" and I'll keep working on it until it's completed, no matter the constraints on my time and energy.
You've been incredibly supportive and understanding, and I know the constant delays and my bad communication have been frustrating, leading to a lot of you thinking this game has been abandoned. I tried to hide my problems and wait until I had good news to give you, but I never imagined it would take this long. So, going forward I'm going to do my best to keep you updated even when things aren't going well. As for a project timeline–all I can say is that it's going to take time. I've learned my lesson about how life can change without a moments' notice and false promises only create stress for me and disappointment for you. I'm also working solo on all of the content from music to graphics so everything depends on me, and I'm not willing to sacrifice quality over speed. So please bear with me! I'm trying very hard to make the end result worth the wait.
So once again, I apologize for the wait and the silence, and I'll try to do better in the future. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the latest chapter of Yakuza Kiss!
Love,
Yume / Pink Potion
