Hello Everybody and Happy New Year! I am working as hard as I can even through the holiday chaos, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get enough done in time to release the update today. I really did my best, so I am very sorry for those of you waiting. The good news is that I only have a few small things to complete, like the comic book cutscenes and the localization. I am doing my best to get it out by saturday night EST, plenty of time for anyone waiting on the sale to make a decision too! As a preview, check out some of the new costumes I added! overall there are; 2 new hat meshes 3 new costume meshes, one of which has a recolor 4 accessory sets. The new map/mode has a different gameplay type and it's own short story as well. I really think everyone will find it fun and just silly enough to play many times. I apologize again for it taking so long, The extra wait will definitely be wo…

- Small Patch 2.4 - 8 August 2025
Hello! Thank you for your patience while I took some time to rest and work on optimization and minor bug fixes. I am now planning and developing a larger update for Hachishaku which I plan to launch in October probably. I hope to add the 'Chado's Nightmare' mode with new costumes and lots of adjustments. Then I will begin work on the next game! I am taking some time to decide the waifu that will chase us due to Steam's new rules. I am concerned about using Hanako-san due to these rules even though I plan to make her an adult the height may cause issues. So I will change the plan and announce it soon on twitter/X, so make sure you are following me there! - Fixed a bug where the jizo could be dropped in certain locations and no longer picked up - Updated game to UE 5.6 for better performance - Improved overall optimization and stability. - fixed a bug on the goth outfit where her torso wo…
- Patch and small update in progress! - 18 July 2025
Hello Everyone! Thank you for a successful Steam Summer Sale! I really appreciate your support and hope you are all enjoying Hachishaku! I am working hard on the content for the major update coming later this summer. While making Hachishaku I was working constantly, which worried my wife a bit. So I've decided that for my health I would take things a bit slower this time and make sure to not overwhelm myself again. I am a solo developer, so there is a lot that I have to do on my own. I've also decided to replace my very weak PC with one that I can develop properly on, which I plan to get later next month, So right now I am focused on bug fixes, optimization, and new costumes. The new mode I have the core idea for and will start developing it next month once the new PC arrives! I've posted it on twitter, but here is a tease of the bunny costume which I finished modeling recently! I also…
- Small Patch v2.2 - 26 June 2025
Bug Fixes: Fixed an issue where You could spawn Hachishaku at the playground before entering Grandpa's house Fixed an issue where jizo pickup could be blocked by some interactions fixed an issue where objective progress in inventory screen wouldn't clear if starting a new game Localization fixes I've started planning the next Larger update as well! On top of costumes I am already working on which I plan to release whenever they are done, this update will add even more costumes, features and a new more gameplay focused mode. I have an idea from the three I previously suggested that I think will be lots of fun. I cant give a release date or anything yet but I will post updates on X/twitter as I work! Thank you for all your support, I hope you continue to enjoy Hachishaku!
- Reupload Patch V2.01.2 - 15 June 2025
I apologize for the issue with the previous patch. I can confirm it must have been an issue with the upload to the steam server. I have reuploaded the build and checked it's stability through steam directly this time and it should be properly functioning. I sincerely apologize for disappointing everyone and will make sure to more thoroughly test the next patches. I hope you can all enjoy Hachishaku more thoroughly now . Here are the patch notes for v2.1 Bug Fixes: - Fixed an issue where Hachishaku would get stuck if trying to move somewhere she can't access, you can now use 'call' to reset her AI. - Fixed an issue with the gravure chance achievement. Adjustments: - Calling Hachishaku now interrupts and updates her current target location. As stated above this can also reset her when she is stuck and not moving. NOTE - This has caused a new bug where sometimes she will become stuck on th…
- Bugged update rollback! V2.0 - 15 June 2025
Sorry about that, working on a fix right now which should address the issue.
- Hachishaku v2.01 - 14 June 2025
Bug Fixes: - Fixed an issue where Hachishaku would get stuck if trying to move somewhere she can't access, you can now use 'call' to reset her AI. - Fixed an issue with the gravure chance achievement. Adjustments: - Calling Hachishaku now interrupts and updates her current target location. As stated above this can also reset her when she is stuck and not moving. NOTE - This has caused a new bug where sometimes she will become stuck on the gravure chance spot's hitbox after viewing the scene. I am investigating this but wanted to fix the bigger problem as soon as I could. - With the exception of the gravure expert achievement, I've further checked the achievement unlocks and confirmed myself on a fresh steam account that they are all working when the final item is collected (photos/notes/gravure chance scenes). To clarify, there are 12 photographs, 22 notes, and 5 gravure chance spots. T…

- Gravure Mode Release Date June 13th! - 6 June 2025
Happy Friday Everyone! I want to apologize for not being able to push an update or patch this weekend. I can only work on Hachishaku in the evenings and a little bit during lunch so things are a bit tight. I am working as hard and as fast as I can, I am even waiting until after gravure mode is out to play Elden Ring Nightreign, no down time until the work is done! That said, I really want gravure mode to feel like a proper expansion of content. So I added some extra gameplay elements that I had not originally planned along with some more QOL features. This is everything that is coming in the update and is currently being polished and tested out thoroughly: General Updates for both modes - You can now rotate Hachishaku in the costume shop and costume selection menus - You can also click on Hachishaku in the costume select menu for a special surprise! - 3 new achievements - improved AI -…
