Hi! Sorry I haven’t been around for a while, I’ve really been busy. The good news is that I’ve written 4,000 words!! It’s not a huge amount, but for me, this pace is fine, especially since this update is really big and I’m trying to take it slow.

Hi, we got a lot of downloads! And lots of praise and support that gave me so much energy❤❤❤ I’m starting again today and I’ll post updates here. I don’t know how long this one will take, but I’ll try not to make it too long... I don’t really like that each update takes two months right now
See you!

I practiced a lot this month and tried to change my art style a little. I know the art is random, but I thought maybe it could make you feel good 💖

Thanks for your reports! I’ve uploaded new files again to fix the bug that was preventing Report 4 from being read. I’m sorry this happened.

I’m really sorry for this, but all of it was part of the story, for better or worse. I know you might have felt upset, but the game isn’t over yet. I hope you’ll enjoy reading the rest of the story too ❤

Hello, finally the programming is done and about 80% of this update is ready. Most of the remaining work is just related to the CGs. I hope I can finish it soon so this big update can be completed too. Thank you for waiting!❤

Hello, sorry for not reporting any updates for a while since I didn’t have much progress on the new update. But instead, I’ve been working on the previous updates, fixing and rewriting many parts to make the story more coherent and logical. I hope you’ll still be looking forward to the update!!

Hi! progress from Build 7 up to today:

- Story writing: 2,000 / 35,000~
- CGs: 0/?
- Programming: 0%

Even though I’ve set a goal for writing, because of how big the update is, I think it might end up being even more than what I want, I hope I won’t keep you waiting too long this time (:

This is going to seriously hurt so many artists. It’s honestly ridiculous that stuff like this keeps happening one after another. I’m just tired at this point...

I was just scrolling through Twitter when suddenly all the posts disappeared, then I realized that all adult content has been locked behind a age verification system.
It’s not just the UK, even the EU seems to be doing the same. Even VPN don't work for me.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I’m still working on the update and everything’s going well.

I hope things go back to the way they were, and the whole community can come together again ❤

When I wrote those comments, I didn’t fully know what had happened but now I realize they really were at fault too.
I’m honestly disappointed, and I’ve lost all my trust in them.

Polar Cake @polarcake.bsky.social · Jul 24

I’ve seen the admin on the forums always supported adult content before. I’m sure this decision was hard for them too.

The real issue now is the payment processors, hitting the site with hate does absolutely nothing. At this point, even Patreon might end up removing all NSFW content too.

They’re basically powerless in all this. It’s us who have to do something.
I’m defending the site because it let me upload and promote my game for free, and that alone is a big deal, something most platforms wouldn’t do.
Shaming the site won’t help and won’t solve the real problem.
