We're still working incredibly hard to bring you the biggest event since High School Days first launched five years ago.

Unfortunately, it seems like every time we overcome one obstacle, another one shows up!

We're in the final stretch, but there's still a considerable amount of work left. And sadly, we've reached the point where we have to cut one girl from the event.

This wasn't an easy decision, and it's definitely not what we wanted. We're currently working on the second-to-last scene, but we would still need to finish four more animations and several additional illustrations. At our current pace, that would take at least another 15 days — and we're already running significantly behind schedule.

That's also why we skipped our usual Monday development update yesterday. We wanted to be absolutely certain before sharing this decision with you.

The good news is that 10 girls will still have some kind of participation in Version 1.0, which is quite a lot of waifus for a single update!

We're truly sorry things turned out this way, but sometimes difficult decisions are necessary to deliver a quality update rather than rushing things just to meet a deadline. We want every scene and illustration to receive the time and attention it deserves.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and continued support. We're doing everything we can to make this update worth the wait!
