Hey everyone! Today's a special day - five years ago, our very first release, A NIGHTMARE'S TRIP, arrived on Steam and itch.io, marking the world's debut of SKY HOUR WORKS and our PROJECT NATURA series. To everyone that's helped make these games happen, whatever it be the amazing friends that have helped with each project, or the small yet amazing fanbases for these games, thank you!!! The fact that these games have resonated with an audience at all means the world, and I'm proud of all of the work we've put into them. So I thought I'd like to do some special things for our fifth year anniversary - that's half a decade, and surely we've got some cool things coming up! Well, we do - so let's talk about them! HAOxSORA =THE SKY'S ABOUND= RIDE TO OUR FINAL will be arriving on Steam in the near future! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35842940/12f93109a434480a4548afc35c8ed82e105f0f51.png Our latest release in the PROJECT NATURA series, last year's HAOxSORA =THE SKY'S ABOUND=, is finally arriving on Steam as a standalone, fully upgraded version that includes new system changes, content, and polish. This'll be the definitive and final take on our ENDLESS RUNNER X GEAR-BASED RPG project, and mark an end of an era for SKY HOUR WORKS as we start to jump into larger, more ambitious projects. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3231250/HAOxSORA_THE_SKYS_ABOUND_RIDE_TO_OUR_FINAL/ You can wishlist it on Steam now, and we'll announce the final release date when we're ready to do so. It'll be priced at a cheap $3 USD, making it an accessible game to pick up (and is also representative of the final game's scope and bite-sized experience), but a full $10 USD version, titled "HAOxSORA =THE SKY'S ABOUND= RIDE TO OUR FINAL /ANNIVERSARY MIX/" will include the original version from Indiepocalypse #45, plus our usual swathe of digital bonuses for those who want to support our work. Ruky's soundtrack for the game will be released on Steam as a separate release as well. For those supporting us on Patreon, ...

Haru misses Hiyori, however, and he’s determined to see her again – even if he has to travel into the furthest recesses of space to do it. In doing so, Ena and Haru tumble into surprising complications, hindering the pair to fully enjoy their trip to visit Hiyori.

Major Fix -Fixed a bug where invisible upgrades could be accessed at the edge of the screen under certain resolutions. If your game is stuck in a crash loop after buying one of these, this should also now be fixed after applying the patch and you can continue that save. Minor Fixes -Fixed percentage display overlapping with other graphics in the main menu -Slightly lowered end game prices for the Clonetaculus
Patch Notes - Fixed an issue where the level of Pythagoras in Theory only increased by 1000 per second while using Memory of Formula. - The effects of Water Spiral have been significantly changed as follows: The automation of Line Number, which was previously a passive effect, is now a default feature. Two new passive effects have been added as replacements: 1. Attack Speed increases based on the progress of the Line Number gauge. This effect is active even when Line Number is not triggered. 2. Z-Reactor Capacity is increased. - Fixed an issue where the Discord link was broken. We apologize for the wait! With the implementation of Memory of Formula on Mobile, we are resuming updates for the PC version. Alongside the addition of new content, we are equally focused on fixing bugs, improving QoL (Quality of Life), and refreshing the UI. We appreciate your continued testing and support!

Hello, players! Here's a quick overview of what has changed: Fixed an issue with item drops Added progress saving between game sessions Reduced the impact of bot holders and multi-accounting Fixed a bug that allowed dishonest players to receive sticker packs before the 2-hour timer expired Temporarily removed the captcha Developer Comments: Since the early stages of the game, we were dissatisfied that the core mechanic of the project was out of our control, which prevented us from fully addressing many issues due to our dependence on a third party. Additionally, we encountered a major security problem. Due to a vulnerability on Steam's side, there was an exploit that allowed dishonest players to obtain sticker packs unfairly. With the 2.4 update, we are completely overhauling the internal item drop system. Roger Miller (CTO) said: "The development of the new item drop system began at the end of August. It was strategically planned from the very launch of the game, but due to circumstances and other core issues, the development timeline was significantly extended" We are also temporarily removing the captcha. Feedback from players made us realize we can improve this system. Thank you for staying with us! Sincerely, The VHC Team!
Hello everyone, there are only 10 days left to collect the Galaxy Frog and 14 days to collect the Demon Frog, after which these frogs will become exclusive and will never be available again, so I advise you to save up your coins and buy them. Good luck to you!

We've translated everything, including the Compendium. We've improved the gamepad controls and updated the tutorial to match the new controls. We also fixed some bugs and reduced the size of the game, but who cares about megabytes nowadays? Thanks for your attention, have a great weekend, and take care! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1307670/The_Unexpected_Quest/
