February 4th 2024 is the release date of "To My Darling"! I can't believe it's already been a year. The time passed in a flash.

I want to thank you all for your love and support throughout this year. I'm eternally grateful for the reception of my first visual novel. I never thought I could make something people would enjoy and genuinely care for. I'm so, so happy to be proven wrong.

I've struggled with perfectionism and anxiety surrounding my writing my entire life. Throughout all my years in school, I'd have panic attacks just at the thought of people reading my work. Releasing "To My Darling" was a huge challenge for me. Even getting friends to proofread it was a struggle due to my never-ending anxieties. I'm thankful I took those steps, though. Because of this game, I've grown some semblance of an audience, made new friends, and even reached different parts of the world thanks to the help of the sweetest translators. I never thought this could be a reality for me. I'm so, so grateful that it is.

Speaking of translations, there are currently 2 in the works and itching to be released! (Along with more in the works!) It's a matter of implementing the new code into the game, then they're ready to release!  New promotional art will also be released to celebrate the translations. Please expect them to be released within the next month!

As for the progress of "To My Darling: Rewritten" - Things are going smoothly! It's only a matter of finishing the last CGs and the rest of the sprites, touching up the code, and adding one last ending, and it'll be good to go! I'm looking forward to sharing the continuation of this story with you all. I hope you are looking forward to it as well.

That's about all I have to say, I think. Thank you all once again for playing "To My Darling". I hope to see you again soon.
