Just wanted to revive this thread. I downloaded the trial from like 2 or so years ago posted here and had an error 0xc0000005 when trying to start it from the KN.exe which everyone said they started it from. Not sure if that old mega trial file has a virus; I just cant open it regardless of which exe i tried to open. Really curious what hypnosis was included in the trial but its unfortunate i cant even start the trial. Is that error caused from a virus or problems with windows defender/my own anti virus? Also, this game is still in development after the side game Sol Rui aftermini was finished, the developer is releasing monthly updates on their ci-en.

Probably a problem at your end, make sure your Japanese encoding is properly set up before unzipping the trial and running it. There's the usual error message about .js profile for this engine, but it won't stop the game from running. As for hypnosis, you'll know it when you see it since it's before the main gameplay component for the demo.

As for progress, he updates the Ci-En blog at the end of each month. He's spent most of this year finishing up the map areas and hasn't done any new sex scenes since he restarted development after Sol-Rui. Personally, I'm not expecting this game to be finished this year and provided he sticks to it and doesn't have unexpected delays Q2 2025 is a reasonable bet for commercial release. A new demo might be done buy Q3 or Q4 of this year, depending on his progress.

I figured it was some weird engine problem, I just dont know why I could open the splash screen but get that error when opening the main exe. I tried exporting it under Japanese encoding after however it didnt work either. guess ill have to wait a year to see it but itll be worth.

With the way it seems to be set up, along with the previews on CI-en, it does seem like it'll be mostly human.
The dev seemed interested in doing some scenes with non-humanoid creatures based on some of their replies to other comments, however the game is in it's early stages (Only 10 months in development, only the rough groundwork & Chapter 0; the introduction, are finished currently.) so there's the potential that they might include some, I'll go ahead and ask the dev about it though.

Also, since I've been lurking and leeching for a while on ULMF; I'll stop being a dork and actually give you guys a download for the demo as a thank you~
There's no loli or anything in the alpha version so I think it should be fine to share? The loli from the last game will be returning in future updates, though there's nothing with them in the demo besides their default character art currently.
Alpha version is around ~800MB

Sadly the link doesnt work anymore... damn, i would really like to try it out to supress my hype for this game.
 
None of the images or video links in the OP seem to be working - perhaps requires a refresh/some reuploads?
 
Do not ask for a game for ANY reason. Asking for or alluding to asking for links to games that are already commercially available is prohibited. Permanent ban.
Hi
I would like to know if there is an available link, cause the other links aren't working.
Also, if there are any announcements surrounding the game or the creator.
 
Too late, since you got banned, but still:
Not so much an "announcement", but he posts on Ci-en at the start of most months. He recently reworked Botan's model to be more feminine and be easier to work with in Spine, as well as added a bunch of costumes to her. Before that he worked on a bunch of maps et.c. et.c. Progress is slow, but progress is at least being made. Best way to keep up with development is simply to follow him on Twitter and/or Ci-en.

Personally I think he nerfed her face but oh well

He did. From what I gathered I guess he felt her original face was too young looking? It doesn't make much sense to me, but I guess Botan is different in his head.

Not gonna agree or disagree honestly. I don't really see the point of it, but might just be because I'm getting kind of impatient for this game lol.

あまりこだわりすぎてもspineでパース移動をさせたりするので泥沼にハマらない範囲での修正。

Getting too fixated on her face is going to have a detrimental impact on her character path movements in Spine animation, so adjusting her frontal face sprite to keep workload moving forward at a sane level.

I'm proven right about not seeing the game this year, but am most likely wrong about seeing it in 2025. Still a one man job, so he'll need to focus throughout 2025 with no distractions nor sidetracks to have any chance of making Q4 2025.
 
His last two posts have shown more development progress, slow as it is. He's got a whole bunch of visuals for each of the different outfits she can wear, and he's previewed the equipment screen which actually reflects what is picked.

Edit: Got the meaning of 確定申告 wrong because I should have looked it up before guessing. Tax returns have nothing to do with his project directly, so whatever progress he's making on the game is still incremental and only he will have no idea when it will be released. Considering how much effort he puts in on his own to get the games he releases to their quality levels (even Sol-Rui as a mini-game doesn't feel "cheap") I'm assuming low chances of a 2025 release and more into 2026 (assuming his health doesn't completely collapse in the meantime).

I wonder if much of that's left to do is just animation side of things. He had done a lot of the work couple years back regarding maps, sprites, and setting before pivoting to Solrui ~after mini~. Live2d can be a big boon in enabling animation reuse with different assets
 
I've never minded the lack of animations, but I guess the author REALLY wants them.
 
For another dev that would probably be an issue, but Enokippu has two rare traits for an H-dev. He iterates on his sequels in significant ways, and he completes them. So yea, ima let the man cook.
