Some time ago we teased you with a pic of Jill’s apartment, and now you see it in action!

Remember how you read news at the start of every day in Prologue? Well, now you’ll be able to read the news themselves rather than just the headline!

Aside from the news in The Augmented Eye, you’ll be able to play the game’s soundtrack, enter a practice mode to hone your rad bartending skills, [spoiler], [spoiler] or even [spoiler]!

Every headline you click into or page you visit will also net you some remark from Jill and/or her cat Fore (Actually just Jill pretending Fore talks). You will also be able to furnish Jill’s apartment with all manner of trinkets or even see it change as days go by!

Please look forward to it.

Sukeban-style character building

VA-11 Hall-A has presented us with many (And I mean it, MANY) challenges. In a way it’s been like those Trainings From Hell you see in anime. Where the main character faces unorthodox means of getting better while faced with a pressing deadline.

Among the many challenges we’ve faced, one of them has been the character creation. Up until now we only used really minimalist casts (The project we were working on before we shifted to VA-11 Hall-A had 6 characters at most), but VA-11 Hall-A required a bigger headcount. The main problem was making every character (Characters that the player had to sit through, no less) as unique or memorable as possible instead of just throwing them out there.

Luckily, we managed to find a sweet spot in our character creation skills that will help us in the future too. What follows is an effort on summarizing the main points in the process of creating and/or including a new character in the roster.

A certain VA-11 HALL-A PAX East demo should be available to you right now if you paid for the Prologue, so go and check your itch.io account!

If the demo doesn’t show up please send a mail to sup@sukeban.moe - Only available for Windows users at the moment… Sorry about that, we’ll try to release this one for Mac and Linux at a later date.

If you have any feedback or bug report, again, send a mail to sup@sukeban.moe and we’ll take care of it.

We got a new trailer up!

If you’re at PAX and eager to try Hotline Miami 2, please take some time to play Valhalla as well since it’s right next to Devolver, I think.

Trailer was cut by Wolfgame, the folks behind the PS Vita port. I think it’s alright.
