Update 0.62 - Shoichi and Keisuke
Added 2023-04-08 23:39:02 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
I'm here to bring you all the Sho/Kei update. Since both characters would be tackling the final day of the Regionals competition arc, I decided to roll them all into one. After all, there is a fair amount of overlap, and rolling it as two separate updates would feel cheap.
The updates themselves ended up being pretty sizable, with quite a bit of content for those of you who do enjoy the tennis matches. I'm also going to post a few teasers of Shoichi's next adult CG at the end of this post. If you're not interested in being spoiled, don't scroll down beyond the download link.
Nyaruh is still working on the second part of it, and after that she'll get to work on Keisuke's. Everyone, please pray for her wrests, cause she'll be quite busy with this stuff for a bit.
Here's the changelog for this update:
- One new day added for Shoichi's route
- One new day added for Keisuke's route
- Couple new facial expressions for Tanabe's sprite
As for the next update, I'm thinking of trying to roll it out as a Jun/Haruki double fixture. I can't promise that Haruki will absolutely be in the update. Failing that, I will release just Jun on his own, but those are my current plans at least.

And for those of you who are interested in seeing the teaser, here it is. Keep in mind the characters aren't actually meant to be undressed in this CG, but since Nyaruh has to draw their bodies so she can draw the different clothes on top, I decided to show them off a little bit as an extra (gotta let her good work be displayed):

I've gotten "name 'music_track' is not defined" repeatedly on the new day for Keisuke on Linux. Fortunately, it can be ignored and I was able to finish the day.

2023-04-12 06:34:25 +0000 UTCShoichi's portion is so cute and heart-melting, can't wait for more updates for his route. I haven´t started on Keisuke's route yet so can't give my opinion on that

2023-04-11 03:26:21 +0000 UTCBoth reads are pretty awesome. It's always lovely to see how the various parts of conversations shine through in different datable routes. I imagine having that kind of stuff planned out can be a pain at times. There's a feeling you have this big storyboard on a wall somewhere with all the different facets of what's going on in each route mapped out, with shared beats between. All that said, Keisuke is my favorite. I enjoy getting to see him and his dynamic, especially dealing with being the junior in the group. The struggles of managing such a terrible and hectic personal life to his school life and his ambitions. Also, too, Tanabe's an interesting fellow. Probably not feesable, but having an alternative route to repairing your relationship with him would be very neat. Seeing the reconcilliation between him and Yuu, and a reblossoming romance? Feels like Tanabe's been sorting through his feelings as of late.

2023-04-10 00:23:52 +0000 UTCI just finished playing Shoichi's portion of this update and God, I can't help but that love that husky so damn much. The last couple scenes were so sweet and tender, genuinely made my heart melt. Thank you Basket. :)

2023-04-09 23:05:32 +0000 UTCHey hey. A Keisuke update right before Bunny Day! Ohh, and I guess Shoichi, too! :D

2023-04-09 19:18:07 +0000 UTCHey so I’m getting an error during Keisuke’s route. If I skip to character selection, during day 26, the praiseshoichi variable is not defined

2023-04-09 19:03:40 +0000 UTCAt long last, the big match! Bittersweet, but I think I knew that something like this would be the outcome after anticipating it for all these years. Love the dedication and the level of quality you give us Basket, your writing is spectacular as always and I can't wait to see where your characters take the story from here!

2023-04-09 04:16:45 +0000 UTCJust finished Keisukes update and i have to say i thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Theres one small thing i'd like to add just because i'm kind of a tennis nerd though: When Keisuke was serving and Yuuichi won the point the umpire called 15-love when the call should've been love-15 because the score of the player serving always gets called first. Not a big deal to me but i felt like it should be said regardless. Thank you for putting so much work into this VN, i'm excited for the next updates.

2023-04-09 03:23:29 +0000 UTCAh that makes perfect sense. I honestly had forgotten that he has multiple paths. I'll need to investigate how his other paths play out in the future.

2023-04-09 01:32:41 +0000 UTCShoichi's is the exact same size in total lines written, but probably feels shorter in a single playthrough since it needs to account for the different paths.

2023-04-09 01:30:02 +0000 UTCAaaand, Shoichi's portion of the update has been read. I once again really enjoyed reading it! The only feedback i can really give is that Shoichi's portion felt a tad insignificant in comparison to Keisuke's. Granted, I think the only reason I think this is because I read them one after the other, rather than in sequence with their stories as a whole. While I loved the days for both characters, Shoichi's day had me wishing for just a tiny bit more

2023-04-09 01:29:00 +0000 UTCIt's for later. It's a sneak peek of Shoichi's next adult scene. As I mentioned in the post, Nyaruh is still working on the second part of it.
Basket
2023-04-09 01:26:29 +0000 UTCIf I may this probably a dumb question but does the cg appear in this update or will it later down the road I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

2023-04-09 01:25:49 +0000 UTCI just finished Keisuke's portion of the update, and I really enjoyed it! There were some really interesting developments I can't say I had expected. I really liked what you did with the visual effects in key moments as well. Now on to Shoichi's part of the update!

2023-04-09 00:43:07 +0000 UTCI can’t wait to play the update!! I’ve been hyped ever since I saw the tweet announcing it!

2023-04-09 00:07:32 +0000 UTCSpent the last ten minutes pressing F5 here while watching Star Trek Voyager and this pops up. I'm so hyped!
