Hello,

Happy December! We are getting close to the jolly Holiday season ❄

We apologize for the lack of updates. It has been a month since our project lead, Hinata, has relocated to Japan for work. We are both facing increased workload at our day jobs and it has become difficult to stay consistent with our progress. Due to this, we regrettably have to push back the release date of MY DEAR☆LOVE. Currently, we do not have an ETA, but we will continue to post monthly updates on Ko-fi and more frequent posts on X (Twitter) and Blue Sky.

MY DEAR☆LOVE is a passion project, and our goal remains the same: we plan to release it for free for everyone to enjoy. Like many other indie developers, our team H9O6 is completely self-funded, with only two members of staff. We share common issues such as lack of funding and lack of staffing, but we are dedicated and are determined to complete this project, and even develop its extended version which will feature more contents. We want to deliver a game that is enjoyable, and reminiscent of the games that once inspired us, even if it may take much longer than we initially planned.

We thank you for joining us on our journey, and we hope you will stay to see the finished project and more! We could not have done this without the support of the community, and we are very grateful for the words of kindness and encouragement everyone has given to us. Thank you very much!

We hope you have a great week, and see you very soon!
