Unity Beta Release Version 0.9Oct 29, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsGood morning, We have finished 0.9 release of our beta build for the game. Some music points are still missing but the project is now 85 percent complete. The remaining patches will fine-tune the existing content and finalize the build of the game. After this once the base game is finished mini-games and other features may be added as mentioned in our early Access framework. Thanks for sticking with us and I hope all is well. Atsu TNU ProductionsUnity Test Version Now Up!Sep 3, 2021 - Community AnnouncementsHello, I am happy to announce; albeit late... That we have finally released a testing build of our Unity engine version of the game. To access this you will need to go to options by right clicking on the game and then going to Betas. Once you do this in the text entry screen with a password field enter "unitytest1234". With this code you will be able to opt into beta builds as we make progress on the Unity engine. I added this a few months back but still needed to do testing on to to make sure it was stable enough for public use. Happily it is playable up to where we currently are with the game. The team will provide more updates soon and hopefully another Unity patch. Once we get further in Unity development than we were in the other version the game files for the main build will be replaced with those from the Unity build. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. Atsu TNU ProductionsDevelopment Update October 2020Oct 24, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsGood morning, We have been largely quiet since the release of the second scene but I want to assure you that we have not abandoned the project. The reason for this update will explain why we have been largely silent but is also a good thing for the goals with this game and any input the community may have to make the game better as we develop things. - We are scrapping the current engine and moving to Unity to allow for better support, customization, more mini-games and an overall more useful experience. - We are clearing up some character and background art discrepancies later on in the script so we can get the game out faster for you. - We do not have an updated release date with this change in engine but still plan on releasing incremental patches as we complete each scene, mini-game and section of the game so players can provide feedback and help us to improve the game. I hope that these updates find everyone well and if you need anything or have questions feel free to reach out to us. Atsumari TNU Productions LLC.Version Update (v1.0)May 8, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, Welcome to the next community update. We are only midway through May but I am happy to have some announcements for you. Effective as of last night we have released version 1.0. This build completes the first part of the Chapter 1 story. With this, we have also verified all things are working on our first full build of the kinetic portion of the game. In particular the following things have been completed: - Additional minor grammatical changes to the game. - Scene transitions fixed and match content of the story. - Music added to each scene and during specific events. - Minor code cleanup. We are also proud to announce the funding of our Kickstarter. This along with outside donations have allowed us to begin work on part two of Chapter 1. Thanks again for all of the support people have provided and for all those who are interested in this project. If you can think of any improvements than we can make please feel free to reach out to us. Josh (Atsumari) TNU Productions LLC. April 2020 Community UpdateApr 30, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHello, This is the first combined community update that will be posted on all of our social media, Steam and Kickstarter. I am happy to announce even more progress has been made on the game; in addition, we have made improvements to our website to allow for easier support, easier key management and related things if you need something from us over the course of the game being developed. Below is a list of updates by type: TNU: ENRB VN - Final quality check run has been completed for version 1 to finish our first official build. - Music patch will be released in the coming days along with this final quality checked version. - We have begun minor work on the second part of ENRB Chapter 1. Website - We have added the ability for our customer support staff to log keys for customers allowing us to better track customer support requests. - We have begun the launch of an online store that is currently in beta. Versions purchased through our online store will include a Steam Key. - We have begun using Cloudflare to further protect our customers, servers and provide an extra layer of trust with the community by using a well-known service to handle pass-through across the internet. - We now offer the ability for customers to reply directly to emails sent to our customer service team. In addition to the above things The New Universes Project which is the organization behind the story we are producing here has begun its application for charitable exception with the IRS as the organization exists to create literary works and support others in doing so without the expectation of compensation. This VN is something of a hobbyist project for us and is being created with the TNU Project’s authorization. If you want to help write new stories, develop your own story or just have an interest in what the TNU Project is please visit our website. As was mentioned by a curator in a previous review the story we are using here is not a typical thing and is more a community-supported endeavor. We are always looking for feedback, new faces and contributions. Thanks, Josh (Atsumari) TNU Productions LLC. March 2020 Community UpdateMar 25, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHello, I am here with our March update a little early with some good news. We will be releasing our first major release. Along with this release, we will be doing a sale on the game and some marketing to get the word on our game out there. It is still in the form of a kinetic novel as we have only finished chapter one of our story. More patches will be incoming and more interaction with our community will be incoming. Now for a list of what has been accomplished this month: - Art for Alister and Reko has been added. - All Chapter 1 key areas have backgrounds. - All text for Chapter 1 of ENRB: C1 has been reviewed and quality checked. - Numerous code bug-fixes have been applied. - Character image spacing has been changed correcting some aspect ratios for characters. - Second Remi outfit added; more for other characters coming soon. We will be adding additional music and making more changes in the coming days. With all of these changes there have also been some internal process changes which will allow for faster release of patches, faster editing and more streamlined debugging procedures. We have also been able to call in one of our editors to help with direct development; also helping to increase in the speed of development. As a final but important note; we are aware of how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the world; as a response to this, we want everyone to know that we are encouraging our staff to stay home. Since this is a remote project all of our team work from home already. This has allowed our team more time to work on this project; hopefully, this gives people access to something to do so that they can enjoy themselves in light of this crisis. Having something entertaining to do helps improve mental health and decrease stress so we hope that you are taking time to have some fun even if it is not with our product. Thanks, Josh (Atsumari) TNU Productions LLC. Update February 2020Mar 10, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHello, Welcome to another community update announcement! In this announcement I will be covering what we’ve gotten done so far and also what our plans are. We are hoping to release the first chapter soon. As for the game release we had initially set for full release in August but are unsure if we can hit that goal. I wanted to let you know that now before we moved further along and missed expectations however below is a list of what we have done and where we are as of now. - The background art for Sumire and Yuki’s room is done. Akane’s is nearly done. - Art for Alister and Reko is done. - Editing for the entirety of scene one is mostly done. Just waiting on final checks by our senior editor. - The android security patch that I mentioned in the previous announcement has been completed. As we continue through this process we are always looking for feedback so please let us know what you think… As people who have reported problems in the past will notice we respond quickly to feedback especially if there is an error or problem that needs to be resolved. Even though we are a small development team we have dedicated customer service and community staff who are around specifically to respond to your inquiries; so feel free to reach out… If you have an interest in our larger story also feel free to ask questions and chitchat with us on our Discord. We are happy to grow the community and are interested in your input. Josh (Atsumari) TNU ProductionsJanuary 2020 UpdateJan 29, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone, I wanted to provide some updates on the progress of our release. We last provided an art patch in December midway through the month. We had hoped to release a patch after that but were unable to do so. I wanted to provide some information on our current status. - First we are planning to release the second quarter of the game by the end of this quarter; the reason for this is we have had to make grammatical and script updates which required us to rebuild parts of the code. This is taking time with our limited editing staff. - Both of our primary artists do this as a hobby and are not full time so background art is coming slower than initially anticipated. - We are also knee deep in trying to update a security patch in the Android build. This is currently taking up my time outside of my primary job along with the editing mentioned above. In short a lot is happening and we are still responsive as can be seen on our Discord. We will be releasing a patch when it is good and polished so that the community can see our best work. Thanks for reading and for supporting indie development, Josh (Atsumari) TNU Productions Recent Issues and Community UpdateDec 2, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello, We have had reports from community members about issues involving IP and testing screenshots that were never meant to be in a public build. I am happy to say that we addressed this in a patch last week immediately after this concerns were brought to our attention. The very next day we also released an art patch to finish through scene 1 of the story. Throughout the week we have been working on PR and released an Android build with the same updates we provided to our Steam and other PC Distribution Partners. It is our hope within the next week to release a grammar patch and additional artwork. We also have had some good input from reviewers and curators over the week. I want to thank the community for their support and input; without which we would not have been able to meet these changes or hit specific metrics that we are proud of; for example hitting 100 members on the game's community group and hitting over 20,000 views on steam. For our first release and only first two weeks of publication these are good milestones to hit. If you have any thoughts, concerns or just want to chat with our story or production team we are always happy to interact with the community as shown by the following review: https://steamcommunity.com/id/MedevacFF20/recommended/1073990/ r which was spurred by our interactions with a curator. Cheers, Atsumari TNU Productions Community TeamPatch 11/19/2019Nov 19, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello, We have released an emergency patch to correct some items that were meant for internal testing and not for public release. This patch is minor but will change some background images in the game. If you have any issues please contact our support team. We will be releasing another patch with more art later this week. We are sorry for any confusion or concerns this brings forward. We want to ensure the community understands we take all feedback seriously and will address any concern the community brings forward. Thank you for your time and support.

Thanks, Atsumari TNU Productions Community Team UpdatesSep 30, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsHello, We have some updates on our development and reasons for the initial delay. As mentioned in our store page our game has adult content. Our story team and publishing team have been working to meet specific guidelines with the adult content in our game. This along with our coming support for Linux, Android and our Windows version are the reasons for the delay. We have updated our release into early access to being in October. To get our artwork for the game done faster we have also released a KickStarter. We will be giving Steam keys out to backers as Steam will be our primary method of distribution for this game. As it has taken some time for us to get the game to you I also wanted to showcase some of our art to the Steam Community. Thanks for your interest in our game and for those of you who have supported us over the years writing the story this game goes along with. The characters are Sumire; her sister Yuki, and her classmates Akane and Arisa (Arisa's image is the lineart.)
