• End of year report and 2026 outlook - 19 December 2025

  2025 will mark the year when Heart of Summer was released. And to avoid the impression that production of promised future content has seized, I wanted to give an update on where development currently stands.At the moment,Japanese translation is still on-goingI'm working on Heart of Summer sequel + DLCanother visual novel projectOf course, I understand that the Japanese translation will hardly be of any interest to the English-speaking players, which is why I want to write briefly about the stuff that actually matters to you. Again, the only reason I even mention it in these English language posts is to clarify the reason for why development is slow.Akehabara is an indie studio and is entirely run by just one guy (me). Apart from the music, I create my projects alone which is incredibly time consuming. And that is why I want to reiterate that future content updates ARE underway. I am sti…

• Heart of Summer launch notes for players - 3 March 2025

  As "Heart of Summer" has just launched I'm paying especially close attention to how it's received by players. I've playtested the game to the best of my ability prior to release, so there shouldn't be any problems that prevent the game from functioning. However, since I made this game with limited resources there are certain elements that are beyond my control. The game uses TyranoBuilder as its engine and there seems to be a slight problem with the audio configuration menu, which may or may not make certain sounds effects too low volume in proportion to other sound effects. If you come across this problem then try loading the save, or preferably restarting the game. Because of this issue, I generally recommend adjusting your system volume (meaning your headphones or speakers) instead of the in-game volume, if possible. I am monitoring feedback closely and around the clock, so if anyone…
