Just a quick update,
I have some sleep issues, but most of my earlier health problems are manageable or gone now. (Hopefully it stays that way). Some new problems here and there, but I think I worry too much these days since I spent the last like 6 years wondering if I would ever even have a normal life again.
I haven't really been working on anything for a while. I've mostly been focusing on adjusting my diet, exercising, cleaning my house, and in general just getting a lot of things under control. Things got way out of hand over the years due to my health problems, so I'm making an effort to try and make my living conditions better in general.
I'm not sure when I'll be getting back to working on things. Probably a couple weeks at least. Once I do may actually start with some streams working on Lufuclad, since I've had the urge to work on it a bit lately. Kurovadis is still a bit of a question mark in my head. I'm still not sure how much I want to fix it up. Noaika still seems so far of given how much I still need to do in it. Obviously it's a mess having so many projects in the way that I think I "need" to do (which I don't), like Kurovadis. These days I don't have too many money issues, since Eroico has stayed very consistent, though it's hard to kick the feeling that I need to publish it in some form that is equal to Eroico at least.
Anyhow, that's all for now.
I can't wait for the streams, watching other artists and devs work is always super interesting!
ReplyDeleteAlso the difference in those screenshots is like day and night, I wasn't expecting such a big difference. Now it's more of a definitive edition than just "reworking it a little".
Health first, always. It's amazing how much diet alone can improve things, we don't realize how many of the things we eat are actually poison. Often it's things we wouldn't suspect, like wheat or spinach.
ReplyDeleteFinancially speaking, releasing an improved Kurovadis on Steam would probably be a decent move since the game is actually done and any improvement is just polish. Releasing it with minor work would yield a lot of money for little effort, and releasing it with a lot of polish would increase sales and inspire confidence in future games, so there's no wrong answer here.
Given how much work you've put into Noaika, though, it's going to have to be released eventually. It would be such a waste to let it rot away.
WOW...just WOW...i did expect much changes for the visuals, but this is something else. I hope that now people who said that the game was fine as it is will understand why people voted for renewal of everything. doesn't look like 100 times more appealing?
ReplyDelete+ as you can see he doesn't forget about health so I don't think that we need to worry about him overworking
P.S. do you already have a channel there you will stream?
Wow, those new visuals look great! That said, you should definitely focus on your health first. I'm sure the game will be great in time, but your personal well-being should take priority.
ReplyDeletePersistance beats resistance, getting away from your sicknesses and starting a steady workflow will help you a lot mentally
ReplyDeleteAll good things in balance.. I'm still working on the balance part.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear your doing better overall health/lifestyle wise. The games can wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update.
do you have a list of emails that did not ask for a refund for Noaika? just curious
ReplyDeleteI can't remember how many people pre-ordered, but so far only one person has asked for a refund.
DeleteI share your desire, but definitely not your sentiment.
Deletesame here, still waiting for it
DeleteEverything that you've put out so far, regardless whether it was finished or very rough has been oozing quality so far and hits that very special niche where you can tell a person put care into their work. (re)releasing kurovadis on steam would be much welcomed but at this point i will shill you even if you put out trash, so please keep people like me in mind and just have fun with what you do :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to read you're much more stable now, and you're working on your health. Health always comes first.
ReplyDeleteKurovadis(as memory stands) was a great game, and I think it stands well enough on its own. Lufuclad is still pretty early in development it seems, I'd look most forward to development on that front(tho I understand why you paused on it).
Noaika seems like it's the closest thing to completion, which is encouraging. Despite my interests, I think attacking Noaika would be best imo. Cheers, and good luck.
Heads up, can't buy Kurovadis from your store.
I'm a bit late to comment, I know, but I'm very excited, hoping to see Kurovadis on steam. I really enjoyed the Demo when I played it, but didn't buy the full version since I didn't really understand the site it was sold on. I would definitely buy Kurovadis very quickly if it popped up on Steam, as I greatly preferred it to Eroico.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are getting better!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see things like LufuClad getting updated more! (:
Nothing to report yet, Kyrieru-san? The idea of "re-working" Kurovadis is a good idea and both Lufuclad and Noaika look like good games, too. I hope to see how these projects turn out in the end.
ReplyDeletedatanony was post on august like this then went dead silent too.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is just another case of one of Kyrieru hiatus. Especially after another dev just died from cancer recently.
DeleteJust check their twitter and you'd see that Kyrieru was last seen very much alive 7 days ago.
DeleteResearch and investigation is the cure to your ailments.
I'll be honest I totally forgot he had a twitter. With how fake woke and toxic twitter has gotten, I've been avoiding it.
DeleteWait who died?
DeleteBeen quite a while since there's been any new info on this.
ReplyDeleteHe's still doing shit, as referenced by him talking about art related projects and techniques on twitter.
DeleteNone of his Twitter posts have any relation to Kurovadis at all. For all we know he literally could have not touched it since this last update. For something that, at one point, was stated to likely only take about a month, it's a bit disappointing.
DeleteI'm a bit miffed that he hasn't given any updates in a while either, but ya don't gotta be rude about it. And when was that month estimate given? Before or after the vote to overhaul the combat and animations? Because that stuff will take a while.
Deletenow I ain't saying things don't take time , I'm sure you're doing great work remastering this game , but there hasn't been an update and I'm low key scared you're going on hiatus again because you get side tracked on multiple projects.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually wondering the same thing as the guy above me, it's been nearly five months without an update and I really wish I knew where the progress of this Kurovadis revamp is at. Hope you can eventually spare the time to update us all on an exciting new version for Kurovadis.
ReplyDeleteEver thought about selling the game's current build and code to an international H-game publisher to let one of their trusted devs finish it for the current and new fans?
ReplyDeletethat doesn't happen in real life lmao
DeleteGood luck in 2022 with your projects either way, seems like covid was rough for you too.
ReplyDeleteany plans to use this blog page again?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Twitter posts from February, Kyrieru has been toying with 3D stuff. Mostly plants, by the looks of it.
ReplyDeleteI may be overly optimistic but I'm still hoping for a Kurovadis release and maybe even an eventual Noaika release.
I bought Kurovadis many years ago. It was a really fun game, so I'm excited to see where this goes.
ReplyDeletewhere kyrieru
ReplyDeleteare you okay?
ReplyDeleteWhatever you're up to, I'm happy you're getting your life in order.
ReplyDeleteYou have given us plenty of cool stuff, so don't stress and take it easy. When you decide to pick things up again, we'll be here :-)
Kyrieru's last tweet to date was on March 22nd 2022, even though they are not posting here. Thought I would just let people know in case like me you guys were worried.
ReplyDeleteBlog is abandoned?
ReplyDeleteIt appears so, but Kyrieru is sort of active on Twitter, even though his last post was on March
DeleteHonestly, he does this quite a bit. He says he will post or is close to being done with a game and then disappears off the face of the planet. Then he pops up out of nowhere again.
DeleteYeah, it's just Kyrieru being Kyrieru. In a way that's more healthier than responding to everything nonstop, but a little "I'm alive" every 3 or 6 months would be welcome
DeleteJust checked my email and found Naoika's unlock code. It was 7 years old. lole
ReplyDeleteYeah it's crazy how long it's been. It's even crazier considering Kyrieru threw his first two games together in just a couple of months. I'm glad I didn't pre-order Naoika back then because if I had I'd be really resentful right now.
Deletekyrieru has retired
ReplyDeleteSource?
DeleteThis post is almost a year old so that's pretty compelling evidence. Maybe he did retire. Or, god forbid, maybe he died. He was complaining about an undisclosed health issue.
DeleteKyrieru, if you're still alive please respond to this comment.
Their last tweet was March 22nd, 2022. So hopefully they are doing okay and are just staying off social media.
Deletegolwas, if he "died" almost a year ago, then who is running his tweeter? xD
DeleteIt's not uncommon for Kyrieru to disappear for a long time, only posting random stuff every few months on tweeter and once there is something to report about games here.
Any news to debunk rumors would be appreciated tho' that's for sure
I eagerly await the day Ky returns and shows us all the incredible looking half-finished stuff he abandoned
ReplyDeleteI still check this site and twitter nearly every day. You've got fans Kyrieru! No one does anything close to the quality you put out, so it's okay if you take your time. I'll still be here.
DeleteDead
DeleteSource?
DeleteLet's be honest here. It's been a year since he's interacted with this site in any way, and five months since his last Tweet. More than likely, he's abandoned making games in general, and just hasn't announced it to avoid having people demand their money back. It sucks, but that's probably the real truth.
DeleteThis is like the third or fourth time he disappeared for over a year with no word or trace.
DeleteOk it's formal I think he died or at least that's what it seems with so many health problems he has or had.
ReplyDeleteThis happens all the time, the phrase "Kyrieru is dead" is a meme, I believe he'll be back but I don't think he'll ever finish another game in his lifetime at this rate.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he's ever vanished for over a year without so much as a peep before.
DeleteI want to believe that he's just been working silently while enjoying a new, fulfilling, healthy life, and that he'll come back any month now with a new build of lufuclad where you can manipulate seperate tribes of monstergirls into big lesbian rape wars.
But realisitically, he probably decided to take a break from game dev, or has spontaneously dropped dead.
Yes he has, multiple times. This isn't new, unfortunately.
Deletehi guys does anyone know if the game was delayed?
ReplyDeletei dont wanna be rude but the wait is getting a bit painful
Ky seems to have either completely disappeared or his health finally caught up with him (though, we certainly hope not).
Deletefirst time?
DeleteAre you ok, Ky?
ReplyDeleteThe radio silence is indeed quite worrying
DeleteHe died ,…. Rip
ReplyDeletei died lol
ReplyDeletemy condolences kyrieru hope your death wasn't painful
Deletenot funny
ReplyDeleteHe's gonna end up like ChesireCat lmao
ReplyDeletegetting thing together and bring them down to the grave lol
ReplyDeleteLufuclad game is very cool, when will you keep updating?
ReplyDeleteLet's start a riot so he gets Lufuclad back lol)
ReplyDeleteall the riots in the world can't bring a corpse out of the ground
ReplyDeleteHonestly, an update on anything is well in order at this point. All these health scares leave us expecting the worst.
ReplyDeletehappy halloween, kyrie. maybe if we all chant together we can bring him back as a skeleton
ReplyDeleteI can't take this anymore. Under penalty of being banned, since kyrieru never cleared it I'm just gonna go ahead and say I had email correspondence with them some months ago. It was some time after their most recent post (ie this one ^ ). I'll have to find it later to get an exact date and time for you all. This doesn't mean some sort of tragedy hasn't happened since then, but it does mean they were at least alive at the time I wrote them... I hope they are still okay.
ReplyDeleteHow long exactly? Kyrieru's last post on Twitter, which as far as I know is the last trace we have, was in late March, which would make it about seven and a half months ago.
ReplyDeleteIt's... kind of normal to not get any news for months at a time, but this is abnormally long and with this disease running around, and Kyrieru's operations for chronic health issues, it's easy to assume the worst.
I hope he is ok, as much as we want to see games I obvs would prefer that he is first well. If you're reading this Kyrieru please take care of yourself! And don't feel bad if you can't do much work, health comes first!
DeleteIt's easy to miss, but Kyrieru's newest Tweet actually dates back to June 16th. Since it's a reply, it isn't listed in the main feed. And in the Tweet before that, from June 12th, they do give some small insight into their current situation. As far as I can tell, their general health does seem to have improved slightly, but there have been a lot of new problems on other fronts, so they are currently trying to adjust in response to that.
DeleteKyrieru, if you are reading this: Sorry for plowing through your social media like a headhunter. I wish you all the best and most importantly the power and confidence needed for the challenges you are currently facing. From what I've gathered things seem to suck a lot right now, but I believe in you and your ability to find solutions for whatever problems are obstructing your path. You're a programmer and game designer after all, one of the most constructive, creative and persistant kind of people I know. Don't lose faith, hurdles and roadblocks fear people like you. You got this.
He made a post on October 7th in regards to game development so it's only been two months since he's been last heard from.
Deletewhere?
DeleteGithub for issues with the various tools he uses.
DeleteHey guys, sorry I haven't posted in a while.
ReplyDeleteI'm still dead, lol
Glad to hear you're still around! Eroico was my favorite H-Game that inspired a lot more like it.
DeleteThanks, hope you get back on your feet.
That's not Kyrieru, that's someone who's just used his name.
ReplyDeleteHe lives!
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/Kyrieru/status/1603522910563475459?s=20&t=zqwvfOyZA_2qsreA4Q7szQ
Yes! Oh wow. I had pretty much given up hope. But Kyrieru really is alive and apparently getting a bit better. Just needs to eat some meat and everything will be fine.
DeleteTo Anonymous: Thank you for sharing! I'd not have seen that if it weren't for you.
ReplyDeleteTo Kyrieru: Thanks a ton as well for your update on Twitter! Continued wishes for strength, endurance and positive thoughts in your battle against the resilient demons a mind can produce. They can suck and usually they do, a lot, as mundane as they might appear. They can be clingy and noisy and hurtful. But also, they always can be shown their place. It might take a few tries and tricks, but it's certainly possible. And I'm positve you'll show them.
If the litter of anonymouses creepily breathing onto the other site of your (digital) window and overanalyzing every social media post of the last year while most certainly donning a pair of glasses and a lab coat while doing so should tell you anything, it's that there are people thinking about you. (And that my ability to write short and understandable sentences is in a similar plane of existence as Schrödinger's cat.) In other words, you're not alone in this. And with a little luck these thoughts might even butterfly-effect themselves as positive influences into your life, who knows? (Possibly deterministic universe, yadayada...)
One thing, before I'll end my annoying rambling: If you feel that the time away from your blog and social media has been to the benefit of your (mental) health, of course, continue to invest your attention into things that do you more good. While a life sign once in a while surely would be much appreciated, you don't owe anybody here and shouldn't feel pressured into doing anything you're not feeling up to.
On the contrary however, if you have the urge to write anything, don't stop yourself with any thoughts of having to show some work beforehand. It might be due to the inherent ambiguity of written text, but your latest tweet reads a little like you're hesitant to communicate before you can present anything in relation to your development projects. While this is just one interpretation and I may as well be totally wrong, I nevertheless feel the need to stress that you are not the worth of your work and go beyond that. The people that flock around your online presences may be, at least partially, a bunch of strangers and initially gathered around you because of the stuff you make and the news you share about it. But that doesn't mean the interest and care of us is limited to just that or that development updates are everything that you are "allowed" to share. Sometimes telling a story to strangers even can have it's benefits, exactly because they don't know you - you may benefit from their different perspective and inputs, but also from the distance to the real person "you" behind the keybord, unlike a relative or friend in real life.
If you wish to tell about your latest contact with some piece of media, do that. If you want to rant about some crappy game design you encountered somewhere, do that. If you'd like to get some real life experiences, frustrations or successes, off your chest, do that. If you just want to post a scribble of a flying garlic with giant ears (for some reason i can't imagine right now), do that. Whatever makes you happy. There's no prerequisitive to that. None. You might view this as detour in a development blog or the like, but if it makes your day a better one, it's definitely a detour worth taking.
So, basically, if you're feeling very motivated right now to tell me to finally shut up and gtfo, go with that flow and don't worry about anything else for now. ;)
bro shut the fuck up
Deleterude smh
Deletei can't believe im finally released from visiting this blogspot...
ReplyDeletenoaika never ever, finally
naw man, check the tweet https://twitter.com/Kyrieru/status/1603522910563475459?s=20&t=zqwvfOyZA_2qsreA4Q7szQ
Deletenow that he's refreshed his alive-status, you cannot be freed until 2024
god, make it stop. make it end
Deletenoaika will never be as good as i imagined it will be
who even cares about noaika man, lufuclad is the real shit
Deletelufuclad is uninteresting and unfocused
DeleteIf you're not going to be active on your own blog you could just ask a friend to shoulder that task for you. This radio silence really just sucks and I wonder what happened to that Kurovadis revamp.
ReplyDeleteHe has nothing to show because he keeps making WIP after WIP because he's braindead and forgot how to finish his fucking projects.
DeleteYour father is the mailman and your mother is frequently mistaken as exotic wildlife.
DeleteI've thought of the same thing and maybe you should pitch this to Kyrieru by letting him know on his Twitter. This radio silence is getting riculous and frankly I just want him to say he has something to show for it
Deleteguys i think i know why he quitted , i remember long ago he was made a game about some ugly character that didnt sell well , named aester or something idk the point is he pretty traumatized after that idk why but people at that time didnt care yeah so that why he quit
DeleteI hope he didn't die
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be the first time I've seen a talented artist/developer literally die.
DeleteGather 'round, children, for I will tell you a story of old.
ReplyDeletelong ago, somewhere about 8 years ago, at the end of summer, the premise of a solid platformer game was presented to us humans. It foretold of a young woman, awoken from her crystal slumber to save humanity. No one really knows if she was successful...for the story simply has no end.
Maybe the quest was finished successfully, or it has put on hold to save humanity from the heroine's failure. We pray that our lord Kyrieru will give us answers soon, for now, let us gather and pray.
Welp.
ReplyDeleteJust checking to see if there are any updates here now and then for nth time. Still nothing I guess.
ReplyDeleteRip in pepperonies
ReplyDeletemiss this dude's stuff
ReplyDeleteMaybe his suffering made his art? I guess if he's happy, then I'm cool with it.
get that self help brothers! Go outside lmao
He's alive and on Twitter, he's basically caught with 2 years of no progress and doesn't want to come back with nothing to show for it, which of course makes him not want to show up even longer, meaning he's just going to die in obscurity. What a loser.
ReplyDeleteI struggle to imagine that a couple games selling on several different platforms will cover your expenses for the rest of your life. If he can't update the blog then why not appoint a friend to help with that?
DeleteHe left behind something of a legacy, unlike you, your disrespect for human life is disgusting, you'll end up the obscure loser you speak of, I guarantee it.
Deletehe already is a loser.
Deleteyou're the loser for calling him a loser, only losers call other people losers.
Deletelets just face it, were all losers here.
DeleteWhat legacy are you even talking about, the fact that he made a handful of hentai games for people to enjoy? That isn't even close to leaving a mark on the internet, much less the world, I agree with the OP about Kyrieru being a loser. It's wasted potential at this point. These couple twats coming out to say that the OP has a disregard for human life is baffling; is Kyrieru dying? Last I checked he was in a recovery process and now people are alluding to him being on the verge of a collapse. No one should be patient to the point of having to wait years for someone to come out and say they did nothing allegedly.
DeleteActually, I've seen a pretty large number of works whose developers claim to be inspired by Kyrieru. That's exactly what "leaving a mark" entails. It's a shame that he went dead silent so suddenly with a relatively highly anticipated new release allegedly on its way, but I understand why the people defending him are getting heated here - we don't know what's happening with him right now and it's not reasonable or fair to talk smack when we don't know the current situation.
DeleteRip...
ReplyDeleteYour art guides were helpful thanks for making those, hope youre doing well
ReplyDeleteWhaaaaattt the fuck , where did u go
ReplyDeletenigga come back!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad way to fizzle out.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Kyrieru, I hope you're doing well, we all miss you.
ReplyDeleteYour art is peak, wish your health improves but also wish to see some more more of your works, get well, m8!
ReplyDeleteY-yeah guys , I don't think the things have come together
ReplyDeleteposting this so that this blog doesn't die out
ReplyDelete:P
Sucks though
ReplyDelete2 year anniversary of his last tweet ;(
ReplyDeleteIt's about to be a 3 year anniversary of radio silence
DeleteHis F95Zone account has him tagged as last seen Mar 22, 2024.
ReplyDeleteI cannot find any other bread crumb trails yet but I will eventually through sheer autism find this mans whereabouts and report on his well being.
If I could, I would give you a cape. If you get a hold of him, tell him to at least finish getting Kurovadis on Steam before dying.
DeleteI don't think those words will make him better, its best to give him space for now.
DeleteHow horrifying. Godspeed you magnificent autist.
DeleteI think the important lesson to be learned here is that people have their limits with your so called privacy. If you are not willing to update people on the progress of your work then don't be surprised when people lose interest or come searching for you.
Deleteyeah... a bit selfish but i want an extended version of that miku one he did
ReplyDeleteI think people should maybe come back in 5 years time since it's become clear that Kyrieru doesn't give enough of a damn to update people. I've been here since 3 years prior and easily found merit in his games but this blue balling I can no longer take. It's probably best if you all abandon hope at this point, personal developer issues with their own lives almost never pan out well. I've seen indie hentai games on Patreon get developed for nearly 10 years in the making, some people are just taking patron money at this point with little to justify it.
ReplyDeleteTruer words have never been said, I hope this comes as a wake up call to Kyrieru, you do nothing then you get nothing.
DeleteYou dont have to fulfill any of your promises just post a Hideo Kojima meme
ReplyDeletehttps://ih1.redbubble.net/image.783092805.8183/bg,f8f8f8-flat,750x,075,f-pad,750x1000,f8f8f8.u2.jpg
but what if he comes back and has like god tier hentai to show for his 3 years away. idk tho maybe im delusional
ReplyDeleteThat would be epic
DeleteI died lol.
ReplyDeleteDamn...
Deleteglad to see death didn't get the best of you though :3
Deletenot sure that's him, no profile picture ',:l
Deletedang youre right. Thats sad.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletewill come back?
ReplyDeleteHe has died (inside).. No Kurovadis remake comes; no Lineage 3; WoW is SJW'ed to the hell.. This universe is fuking cursed. I hope it gonna die too
ReplyDeleteWell, the DNS is being updated and maintained, so he's not dead.
ReplyDeletewhat health problems does he have anyways?
ReplyDeleteIf I recall, it was multiple things, with back problems being some of the more crippling ones.
DeleteCurrently, who knows. Could be dying, could be sipping from a coconut on a beach somewhere.
