Thanks to your incredible offerings at the altar of Kickstarter, we've not only funded "Black Heaven: A Necromantic Dating Sim," we've annihilated all the Stretch Goals, blown past my recent plans for the extra funding, and entered a new realm:

SUPER TENGEN TOPPA OVER-FUNDING.

Seriously--we raised about $3,000 in the last three days of the campaign. That's absolute madness. I've been trying to build new potential budgets for the game for the past few days, but I literally could not keep up.

It's super exciting, but before we go any further, I want to say this:

I want to thank each and every one of you for pledging, and to all the people who shared their excitement with me and other people. 

It's a beautiful thing to see an idea leave the realm of imagination and start to become real. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I'm looking forward to helping this game force its way into our world.

Confirmed: No-Eyes Romance Route!

After months of speculation, desperation, and salivation, I want to formally announce the news many of you have been waiting for: there will be a special romance route for No-Eyes included in the full game. However, it won't be quite as long or as detailed as the other routes, and it will be a secret path.

The route will likely include new sprite artwork for No-Eyes (probably a costume change and some new poses) and potentially a new CG for completing the path. 

Adding the extra romance path will take some extra time that wasn't planned for the original development, but due to the genuinely concerning outpouring of requests, we decided it was 100% worth it.

God have mercy on your souls. And ours.

Where Will All the Extra Money Go?

In our last update, we said we'd be asking backers to tell us where they want to see the extra funds go: new sprites, new music, new gameplay options, etc.  

After much deliberation, I've decided to forego that and spend it all on gambling and elaborate eye tattoos.

Just kidding, we'll likely be including those questions in the survey sent out after the conclusion of the campaign. We may keep some funds in reserve for budget cushioning, but the majority will be spent on new features for the game.

A New Interview about Black Heaven!

In case you haven't checked it out yet, I did an interview with Visual-Novel.info, a German-language site that covers VNs! The article also includes a review of the demo, which ended up being very positive. Check it out!

I know I say this in every update, but it can't be overstated--thank you so much to everyone who's supported the project. We've gone way, way, way farther than we ever expected, and it's going to be exciting to bring this game to life!
