Good evening everyone, and happy Friday! We just wanted to send out a quick update to fill you all in. In case you missed it, we posted a couple new blog posts over on our site yesterday, in which we provide some news and announced some new titles. ( Here and also here )
To sum up the Aokana related news... Merch production was (as mentioned previously) scheduled to start this month- after the Chinese New Year. Unfortunately the Coronavirus outbreak in China has resulted in our partner's factory being forced to remain closed to help prevent the spread of the virus. This has consequently resulted in the production being pushed back further, until the factory can be reopened. We thank you for your patience with this!
In more positive news, in case you missed it we recently released the first two of the nine drama CDs. We are planning on releasing two more in the not-too-distant future, so we hope you're ready for more Aokana content! On a similar topic, work on the Switch port is in progress as promised, so if you want Aokana on console, be ready for that. Finally, with regards to Extra1, we expect Akerou to start translation on that within the next couple months, when he wraps up with Riddle Joker.
As always let us know if you have any questions, and we'll let you know when we have a new update to share.
Have a great weekend everybody!

Good evening everyone, we hope you are all having a great weekend! First up is to apologize for taking a while to provide another update, since our last one was way back in October. Things have been very busy for us and our partners. Now that we are coming up to the Holidays though, we have no intention of slowing down. If anything, things are about to get very busy around here…
With that out of the way, let’s talk about the two things that are gonna be at the forefront of your minds- merch, and the Perfect Edition H-scene DLC. Regarding the merch, originally if you remember us and Hikari Field were hoping for a December shipping date. Unfortunately, that won’t be able to happen as originally hoped. HF had some production issues early along that resulted in delays shipping the Chinese KS merch. Some of the early production merch didn’t meet their strict quality standards and a rerun had to be ordered and waited for. They are pretty far along with shipping the Chinese goods now though, and we are being queued up for production starting in early January. We are also finalizing some of the English merch designs, including the English box art!
Next up, the Perfect Edition H-scenes. We’re just a few weeks past “a few weeks after release” now, but the scripts have been fully translated and edited, and have been integrated into the game, and are being prepared for QA. We’ll be releasing those around the end of the month, so make sure to look forward to those! In addition to those, we are hard at work on the artbook as well. It’s also fully translated and edited, and text insertion is currently wrapping up, which means that will also be ready for QA very soon. Once it is ready, we will send out Steam keys for the digital version to all backers, and it will become available for sale as DLC on Steam and other platforms.
While we’re here, some of you may have read in the news that Sprite has announced they are reorganizing, and are even hiring additional staff! Since we had the honor of translating Aokana, we are certainly very happy to hear the news, and would like to congratulate our friends over at Sprite and wish them the best with their future games!
From all of us at NekoNyan, we wish you Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a wonderful New Year!
