Hazelnut Latte Progress Report 8/5/25

Welcome to another progress report!

When is v0.14 coming out?

I get this comment on every progress report, so I want to clarify this at the top of the post:

v0.14 does not have a release date.

As you can see, it is still actively being worked on. When it is closer to being done and we're just bug testing, we will have a better idea of when it will be released. But I do not want to give a date and then have the weight of missing that date cause myself and the team to crunch overtime. The beauty of being an indie studio is that we don't have publishers pushing us into overtime that just burns us out and produces low quality product.

As soon as there is a release date figured out, you will get a big post about it. I won't just shadow reveal it in a Twitter DM or a Patreon reply.

Writing + Animation

These two go hand in hand today since we got the third and final lewd scene animated! It looks absolutely incredible, with two angles and a bunch of variation. Something funny happened where I got an extra animation loop, so I had to write a bit more and sort of change the pace to account for another loop. So you get more lewdy goodness!

Coding

Our main programmer, Nobafka, released the beta for his own game this week, so he has been a bit busy with that! Check out Baked with Love :D

But despite that, he has been making progress on the Ren'Py build, connecting the scenes to the map. He is done with the first pass of Hazel's scenes and is moving on to Robbie next. When I got the new animations, I coded those in along with the sound effects and a few more gallery unlocks for fun.

Unity Progress

Another background was delivered as I was writing this, and it's beautiful. Pamika is a beast.

Lotus has been helping me with the script, reading it, and giving notes to help improve it. We've also been doing a lot of workshopping for the future of the game.

What is up with the Unity thing?

I announced this a long time ago now, and no one wants to go back and read old posts, so here is a recap.

v0.14 will be the end of Episode 6 and the final Ren'py version of the game.

v0.15 we will be moving to Unity and remaking the game.

Two members of our team, Noba and I, are working on the final Ren'Py version. The four other members are focusing on the Unity version, with Noba also doing a lot of coding, and myself doing writing/management.

So we are essentially working on two versions of the game at once, which is why these updates have info on both. We are being sort of hush hush about Unity specifics until after v0.14 is out and finished. Then we will shift all focus on conversation to this new build.

Wrap Up

We're a bit stretched, but I think we are making good progress! Unity is shaping up to be insane, and I can't wait for it to be here. For those who have played Nobafka's new game, Baked with Love, it was made in Unity and served as a testing ground for Nobafka to figure out what worked and what didn't.

But that is it for now! I am refining the script for Unity with Lotus' help to make it the best it can be.

I hope you all have a wonderful week, I appreciate all the support, and remember to Stay Rad!
