- The 2026 Roadmap! - 29 January 2026
Hello!! We would like to formally announce that a second DLC has started development and will be ready later this year. In February, v2.2 will launch alongside some new seasonal content. This update will add some further polish that really should have been done earlier (and in the background, adds some foundations for DLC 2).Seasonal content updates will pause after February so work can be done on DLC 2 full-time. Please anticipate a more ambitious expansion than Boys in Hawaii! with more engaged storyline content and side activities.Soundtrack 2.0 will either be an extension of the existing soundtrack, or a Part 2 combining Boys in Hawaii! and new tracks added in DLC 2; this has yet to be decided.The success of Boys in Hawaii! is been the primary driver for what will happen this year. Thank you for supporting the development of Kemopop! and turning it from a tiny unassuming HTML5 game…

- 2.1.4: Rendering Engine Rollback - 2 January 2026
Hello,This update reverts the game's rendering engine to how it was prior to version 1.18.

Happy 2026!!

- 1.18.3: Patch Notes - 25 September 2025
Hello, This update includes a bunch of minor corrections and under-the-hood updates. Expect version numbers to skip while incremental changes are made. There is some closed beta testing going on.

The Credits are now considered a cutscene, and are moved here. This is the only cutscene in Kemopop!, more cutscenes are added in Boys in Hawaii!. "Export Save Data" no longer creates a hashed string. There was no need for this. Now, the exported .save is equivalent to a regular data.save and can be replaced.

The associated Guestbook page has been removed. Come back to the Gumball Machine every so often to see some vandalism!! Campaign T…
