Greetings!

Season of festivity is here! I wish everyone to have a wonderful holiday and a relaxing days to wrap up year. For me, this year has been a very busy year, and I am happy about the outcome, which is this game I am writing this note about. I hope that next year will be just as current year, so that I'll get enough time to finish the game. :)

A new category in the menu System called Sandbox.



Yeah, its literally a Giant Sandbox.



If you know what a F.A.P.S. ( Fairly Accurate Placement System ) Desk then you will be familiar with how this works in Amazing Frog? 2.



The F.A.P.S. Desk came about because we had been developing so many different types of Vehicle, creatures, accessories, weapons etc etc, that we needed to be able to gameplay test them rapidly making different combination.



And while you know we love our unlocks in Amazing Frog? by finding F.A.P.S. Disks often its nice to just have access to a bunch of content and just place them next to each other and see what happens.





Sometime in Development the F..A.P.S. Desk has been so helpful... but also really addictive, weird and fun. I have often lost too much time just experimenting with different combos... but I do have all the Disks.
Apart from the giant Sandbox we also have Winter island where the F.A.P.S. desk has a bunch of festive FAPS Disks.



With these two Sandbox worlds, we have also been creating other worlds for Amazing Frog?2 (Its all part of a larger development plan.) Winter Island is one of these.















We have a whole bunch of other worlds to come too.

What about Swindon shire?
Well it may run better for many players The main reason I didn't call this a "Major" update in that I know Swindonshire needs more attention and we are very close to a world refresh for Swindonshire in AF?2 but its not quite ready, but we really wanted you to share in the sandbox ness these Holidays. There have had been some pretty fundamental physics updates that should help, but we haven't had bunches of time to test so be warned some strange things may well happen in this update.

And more to follow very soon.

Hey FAPpy Holidays !

First of all, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you for your continuous support for Homura Hime.
It's thanks to your support that the game and the crimsondusk team could come so far.

However, we come with some disappointing news.
After careful consideration and evaluation, we came to the conclusion that in order to meet everyone's expectations towards Homura Hime, we need to spend more time and effort on the game than initially planned.

Therefore, the release date for Homura Hime has been postponed.

We deeply apologize for failing to deliver on the previously announced 2023 release date.
This decision was made in order to improve the quality of the game. We will do our utmost to provide players with a polished game experience right out of the bat.


Once again, we apologize for the delay. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
We will continue to work hard to provide the adventure everyone is waiting for in Homura Hime.
As always, we will announce any new information via Steam News and on our social media accounts.
