- Build 20.2 and a small update - 20 September 2026
Hello everyone! Thought I'd leave an update on where we're at with the project.Firstly, we just released Build 20.2! Nothing major, just a few typo and bug fixes, as well as some minor improvements to the writing here and there. Some inconsistencies have been fixed, such as how differently a certain character spoke when you compared, say, Chapters 6 and 13, and some questionable sentences here and there have been re-written because they just bothered me that much. No additional story content has been added, but here's hoping we can get something done about that before the end of the year. Still, if you've been looking to get (back) into No More Future, this is as good as the novel's gonna get for a while!Next, on the topic of the “NMF Master Document”, which I loosely mentioned in the last few updates here and elsewhere. I'm a little behind honestly, this summer has not been kind to me…
- Update 20.1 - 4 April 2026

- No More Future - Build 20 - 27 March 2026

- Build 19.1 - Minor bug and typo fixing - 1 July 2025
Hey! Small update to the game, mostly to the benefit of new readers.We reviewed all the feedback and bug reports, and this build should fix most of them. No new major content unfortunately, so if you already finished Build 19.0, there's no point in playing this. That said, if you find any new bugs or typos, let us know and we'll take a look!Enjoy!
- No More Future - Build 19 - 20 June 2025
Hello everyone! Took a while to release here (haven't updated here in a while, I hope I didn't mess anything up >_>), but the new build of No More Future is finally live on Steam! Build 19 features:A new Main Story Chapter!Extensive reworks to Chapter 6! (specifically the section on the train before the fight scenes, though there are some updates before and after as well)Small touch ups to a specific exchange in Chapter 11 because something Isaac told Apollo back then doesn't work with the new content, so we went back and changed it because I'm a writer who doesn't plan ahead and I love gaslighting my audience!A new background!Tons of new character sprites!6 new music tracks!If there's anything else... I forgot it!Hope you enjoy! ^w^
- Update on Build 19! - 13 June 2025
Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait, I know it's been a while since I even touched Steam as a developer. >_>After over half a year of working on it, we've finally finished working on Build 19 of No More Future! It'll be available on Steam come next Friday, if all goes well.The new build includes a new Main Story Chapter, reworks to the early section of Chapter 6 (and a few tweaks to Chapter 11), and tons of new content such as new character art assets, new music, and a new background, which I attached to this Devlog to give you an idea of where we might be headed! This is definitely the biggest update we released so far: the script for Chapter 14 is the longest in our files by far, and that's not even counting all the extra work we did on the other chapters. I can only hope all this waiting will be worth it, and that you'll enjoy the new update once it's out to the public.This is al…
- New Year Update - 2 January 2025
Hello everyone! Apologies for how long it took to write up this update, December was pretty... hectic for me, for several reasons. Last month of the year opened up with some really terrible news in my personal life. Without going into details, they really wrecked my family for a while, and things will never be the same for us. Moving forward, we'll need to watch our finances carefully, and I'll probably have to help out at home a lot more often. This means my priority, now more than ever, is getting through what's left of Uni as fast as possible and getting my degree, so when the time comes for me to find a real job, I'll have more and better opportunities. The good news in this regard is I'm doing pretty well so far, so it shouldn't take more than a year for me to finish what's left of my course. That said, more time spent studying means even less time spent working on the game. And ev…
- Build 18.1 - Minor bug and typo fixing - 12 October 2024
Alright... that didn't take long! Turns out there were a few bugs and typos left in the game, but we should've patched them all out with this new build. Build 18.1 fixes a few typos and bugs. The ones relevant to this version of the game include: Some new custom names not working in the Prologue when Mary asks you for a New Name; A few typos in the new Chapter 13. I'll use this opportunity to share a bit of an update on my personal life. Sadly, I made a mistake while preparing for an exam I was studying for, and couldn't take it as a result. The brunt of the work has already been done, but now I'll need to review for this exam as well, in addition to studying from scratch for another one I wanna take this year. Two big exams in three months are certainly possible, though it does leave little space to work on Chapter 14. Ideally, I'd like to release a final update before the end of the y…
- No More Future - Build 18.0 - 11 October 2024
Hey everyone! It's been a long while coming, but it's finally time for a new release! In this build, you'll find: A new main story chapter! (Chapter 13) A ton of new sprites for Isaac and Daphne! (Both of whom had their code reworked a ton to support them) A new sprite for a certain character! A new background! 2 new CGs! (If you don't count all the variations they come with) 2 new music tracks! (Plus one more in the files that we couldn't fit into the build, will be added next chapter) A new Chapter Select button in the main menu! (FINALLY!) Added a Chapter Number to your save file! (So you can tell which chapter to start over from in the Chapter Select menu if your save bricks!) New additions to the fanart gallery! Bug and typo fixes in earlier chapters. Might be unfortunate timing, given what other games release today (I would know, I can't wait to start playing Metaphor once I come…
- Update on Chapter 13 - 9 August 2024
Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates... We've been working hard on the next update to the game, which is shaping up to be even longer than expected. We're about 2/3rds of the way there, but it's likely we'll only be able to publish the new chapter come September, which is a shame. But I'm hopeful you won't be disappointed once it's finally out! When I say this new update is BIG, I mean it. It's got everything, from new character sprites to new CGs, new music tracks, new quality-of-life updates (including a revamped Chapter Select accessible from the main menu, and the current chapter number finally being visible on your save file!), and so much more that's not even ready yet! I can't wait to show you everything we've been cooking up behind the scenes! I'm sorry we couldn't release the chapter any sooner. Between my school life (which always takes priority), to the much-worse circ…
- No More Future - Build 17.0 - 11 March 2024
Hey everyone! A new update is out, and I'm sure you're itching to read through it! The new build includes: A new Main Story Chapter! A new background! New character sprites! New music tracks! Typo fixes to earlier content This was originally supposed to be the first half of a larger update, then it became the first half of a new chapter (to be released over the course of two separate builds), and finally it became big enough to warrant a place as its own, unique chapter. This build sure evolved a lot over the last few months... but I'm hopeful you'll enjoy it all the same. Have a good read! I'll see you all again when the next build drops. ^w^
- No More Future - Build 16.0 - 3 January 2024
Hey everyone! Welcome back! Long time no see. Build 16 of No More Future is finally ready, and it couldn't have released a moment too soon. Literally... Included in the new build is: A new main story chapter! New artworks! New music tracks! Typo fixes to earlier content And more! ...The patch notes are intentionally vague, by the way. Don't wanna spoil everything the new chapter includes by accident! It might seem like a small update at a glance, and it might not keep you busy for as long as some other chapters in the game, but trust me: we didn't spend more than half a year working on it for nothing. I hope you enjoy the new update, and I'll see you again... whenever the next build is ready, I guess. Which will hopefully be soon, but we'll see. ^w^
- Build 15.1 - Minor Typo And Bug Fixing - 18 September 2023
Hey there! Sorry for the delay in new builds, I only recently returned from a (way too) long vacation. Unfortunately, today's build is only there to fix some notable typos and bugs people have been rightfully complaining about. We're still working on Build 16 and the long-awaited Chapter 11, which we hope to release sometime next month. I hope the exciting content the new Chapter will bring with it will make up for the long waiting period since our last major update. I'll see you all next month!
- Update on Chapter 11 - 21 August 2023
Hey everyone! Been a while since our last announcement, so I figured I should give one before I leave for a while. We're still working on Chapter 11 which, as we've said, will take more time to complete so it doesn't feel rushed. We said this already on Discord, but Chapter 11 will be very heavy on art compared to our usual, and we want it all to be ready before releasing the Chapter so as to not let it feel incomplete or rushed. It'll take some time, but it'll definitely be worth the wait once it's finished. Of course, work will be a little slower. One thing I've decided on, seeing that writing visual novels is not currently profitable enough for me, is to go back to college starting in September, so I'll need to prioritize that moving forward. This doesn't mean I'm abandoning the project, far from it: it'll just take a little longer for new updates to come out moving forward. While th…
- Build 15.0 - Minor Hotfix - 23 July 2023
Whoops! Seems I started working on adding the next Chapter to the game a bit too soon, and broke Chapter 10 as a result. Ah, well... all I did was: Fix an issue where reaching the end of Chapter 10 broke the game. It now works as intended, sending you to the Library. My apologies for the trouble, and big thanks to the person who left a screenshot of the issue in the Community Hub for us to find! If there are any other problems with the current Build of the game, let us know in the comments of either this or the last update and we'll get to work fixing it right away!
- No More Future - Build 15.0 - 22 July 2023
Good afternoon everyone! It took a bit longer than expected, but the new build is finally here! Here's a list of all the changes: A completely revamped story, rewritten from the ground-up! Some scenes feel completely different, others were removed outright, and a few new ones were included to take their place. 2 brand-new CGs! 1 new music track, as well as a few changes to a pre-existing track. New sound effects, mostly to enhance the first comic book sequence. Typo and bug fixes. That might not seem like much, but I cannot express just how big that first point is. On top of huge quality improvements across the globe (meant to make the story feel faster and more focused), the removal of unnecessary sequences (either because they felt pointless, or included plot points that were never going to be addressed again) and the inclusion of new ones (which either introduce certain plot points s…
- Update on Build 15 - 1 June 2023
Good evening! I apologize if there haven't been updates for a while, these rewrites are taking way longer than expected and we had little time at our disposal for formal communications... As I (hope I've) stated previously, our team's currently working on rebuilding NMF from the ground up, improving everything as we go. Two days ago, we reached the halfway point, having completely updated the Prologue, as well as Chapters 1 to 3. The upcoming rewrites include new CGs, new sprites, new music, and even new scenes, while also cutting down on tons of unnecessary fluff and red herrings that never went anywhere. It's a definite, substantial improvement, I'll say that much. Now it's time to work on Chapters 4 and 5, which might take quite a while. I suspect Chapters 6 and onwards will require far less work than the previous ones, so hopefully things will move a lot quicker at that point. It mi…
- Build 14.1 - Minor Hotfix - 24 April 2023
It seems there were some lingering issues with the build after all. Here's what we fixed: Fixed an issue where sound effects in the main story wouldn't play, as the code hadn't been updated properly. Fixed the text at the end of Chapter 10 erroneously stating that you had reached the end of "Build 13" and updated it to the current build. Apologies once again for the trouble. Hope you enjoy!
- No More Future - Build 14.1 - 24 April 2023
Alright! Another month, another build! That's what we like to see, right? ...Apologies to all those who couldn't play the new update yesterday. Something went wrong when porting the build to Steam, and I couldn't figure out how to solve the issue. Fortunately, that's all in the past now, and everyone can now enjoy the new update without fear! Here's a list of all the changes this build comes with: Added a new Side Story (you can access it either from the Chapter Select Screen or from the Library) Reworked the Library sequence with tons of new content (currently placed at the end of Chapter 10, it will always feature at the end of the latest main story chapter) Added two new music tracks, and countless new sprites, backgrounds, and CGs New sound effects (now all in .ogg format to consume less space) Removed a few unnecessary files Small code improvements in a few files I hope you have a…
- Build 13.1 - Hotfix 2 - 14 March 2023
Nevermind, some things were still missing! Our sincerest apologies for the two hotfixes in a row. TwT
