Hey all,

A simple message to all of you.

I’ve heard you, and I’m going to try my best to do better.

I’m sorry for the constant changes here and there with my games, for what must feel like a never-ending cycle of swerving projects.

I can’t fully explain it, as my mind tends to wander a lot. I think of so many ideas, but it’s not fair to you all—the fans—to take away from Persona H so many times. I build it up, then knock it down to try and make it better, but I haven’t added enough content to justify those changes.

I need to do better, and I need to get this project back on track.

So, I’m vowing to keep my head down and focus on Persona H for a while.

I’ve started working on a plan, which I’ll share more about soon. This plan will incorporate the things I want to see in Persona H—whether they’re from past games or just ideas I’ve had written down for months (or years) now.

Don’t worry, I’m not starting over again. :D I’m just laying out a roadmap for how to build on what I already have. Honestly, I’ve got a well-running, compiled game with Persona H right now; it just needs more content! And to create that content, I need passion.

And as I’ve learned, to get that passion... I need a plan!

I’ve procrastinated long enough. It’s time to get to work on that plan.

So, how am I going to do it? Here are my thoughts:

I have a TON of ideas, ranging from AMAZING to kinda good, and from HUGE to tiny. They’re all scattered across various notepads on my desktop.

I’m going to compile all my wild and crazy ideas—including the ones from you all that I’ve loved over time—and organize them into a sort of roadmap.

Why a roadmap?

Well, with my original Persona H, I ran through eight different update cycles from February to September of 2022. I look back on those days fondly because I was a MACHINE.

How did I manage that so quickly?

Honestly, caffeine probably helped, but the real key was a roadmap.

I had all the characters I wanted laid out, versioned for each update. When distractions popped up, I’d tell myself or others, “Not now, that’s for a later update.” That mindset kept me focused while still solidifying future ideas.

I NEED that level of precision again, and it all starts with a roadmap. So, I’m getting back to it.

For now, SokoGirls will be put on hold. It already has plenty of content, and I’m very happy with where it’s at for anyone who wants to play it. It’s time for me to focus on my other “child” that hasn’t been getting enough attention: Persona H.

Alright, I’ve got a roadmap to start working on.

Time for me to hit the books, watch the anime again, play the games, and dive back into this wonderful world. I hope to see you there soon!
