The Long Road

Roadmap

We believe in honest planning over impossible promises. This is the path Yorokobi Studio intends to walk — phase by phase, without fixed dates, allowing each step the time it truly needs.

01
Phase 01

Foundation

Brand identity, this website, the first prototypes, and dedicated Ren'Py studies. The goal is a steady, honest base to build everything else on.

In Progress
02
Phase 02

Prototype

Short experimental projects, UI tests, a sustainable writing workflow, and mood validation — learning what a Yorokobi Studio scene should feel like.

Planned
03
Phase 03

First Public Release

A small, free visual novel project released for feedback — modest in scope, sincere in feeling, and made to be shared rather than sold.

Planned
04
Phase 04

Long-Term Project

A larger emotional visual novel, developed with patience and care, drawing on everything the earlier phases taught us. The work we are quietly aiming for.

Future

Patience is part of the craft.

We would rather move slowly and arrive somewhere honest than rush toward something hollow. Development notes for each phase are published as we go.
