Vortex00 time for some TEXT WALL otherwise know as updates~
Site updates:
I have opened the website to new registrations for a short time until a see a bunch of robots signing up again. I see each person that signs up. so I accidentally delete you then message me! if you name is random characters kfidskfisdkf I will probably be sure to delete you lol. a few signed up before I even finished this post so. suspicious heh.
link closed for now lol
I also added groups to the menu since it was previously not publicly visible. It you want to make your own group just message me otherwise I will assign permissions for people as they posting something that contributes to a discussion or something in some way lol. groups can be about anything. I will probably make a bit more later.

also for whatever the reason the site work weird not when I use firefox so I do most updates and post through google chrome now.
Project Updates:
first of all I would like to thank everyone who either signed up for patreon or got the full game through bandcamp.
I have realized I don’t much like having two versions floating around. Though the “online” version had to exist to put on Newgrounds. and I might make a totally non hentai version for deviantart maybe :S
Otherwise I don’t see the game doing very well on those small flash hentai porn sites.
So, part of my time that I realize could have possibly be better spent working on games, have been spent working on research. I am a engineer by trade a love researching things. This research included various ways to monetize hentai games, art, and possibly other content. I will put together my accumulated findings a bit later on for those interested. This is aimed a people just starting out as I was. Basically I will just focus on progressing game content. with my occasional MMD post or something added in heh but that doesn’t take nearly as long as researching something then implementing things to test.
Since most of this is research if you want a refund for any reason feel free to e-mail me with the e-mail you used for a payment, and I will get that to you asap. Otherwise I will use any funding to help progress ARIA and future Umichan titles and add in extras similar to how the kickstarter was set up such as personalized background characters and things like that. for that see, the groups section and sign up: http://spiralvortexplay.com/svp/groups/
It cost me about $800 out of pocket to make UMCC. mostly the music and backgrounds. And so far for ARIA I have, been paying pinoytoons for art and animations and have gotten a few professional and no-professional erotic writers to write their version of a scenario given to them based on ARIA. I will do the same for umichan sequels also.
I should a video of ARIA up soon and possibly a demo shortly after.
For Umichan updates, before I can update that game I need to redo how I do some stuff in that game. Since I am getting back into a drawing mode. I might use it to start redrawing stuff in UMCC. I am thinking about using a “Vandread” method. Where I would have 2 drawings of each character in their school outfit, 1 in gym attire and 1 nude. That seems to be the sweet spot so to speak. maiko would probably a have a bit more such as work clothes for each job.
Then I can start expanding the game because the movieclip data would be significantly less. Also the mini games would need to change a bit. I have always wanted to make the swimming a top-down game.
Enough people have mentioned to me abut yuri stuff with female friends for me to add it in. But again it will need to happen after I redraw everything, or get someone else to lol. I will post them as I make them.
Product updates:
I have mostly all the materials I need to make the custom mousepads I wanted to make. I just need the battery, led, and wire. I will work on in my spare time of my spare time >_>; I’m thinking too much about mousepads at the moment. but I will recover from it. and get them made eventually.

Its good to know things are going forward as we speak!
Well, you know my suggestions for sex stuff already xD, i am always repeating myself, haha.
I read some good ideas people gave here and on NG and other forums too!
I am looking forward to the mouse pads since you mentioned those getting at your house, hehe.
Lets see what you will come up with pinoytoons animations and all those ideas for umcc too 😀
Basically the general idea is get is that whatever you can do with boys you should be able to do with girls lol. I haven’t forgot about the double stuff you mentioned though.
It was also mentioned to me that I need a full wiki and walkthrough. It is quite the task to do that but I’ll see if I can get one started.
I thought of doing one too, after reading some people asking for it. I can’t do it this week, but from Sunday and so on i will have the time. There were a wiki before, but i dont know much about the past and future of the characters, but umcc is ok for me, heh.
About the walkthrough, we can talk and manage something 😛
Thanks, I will have it make it here because of the adult nature of the game. But information can be pulled from the other site. Yeah I’ll start with umcc and branch out from there as more things get released.
