If you've been reading this site's news regularly, you'll notice the "Monthly Update" lists projects that are never heard of again. This is an unfortunate thing that happens a lot. We start doing something, then it just kind of falls apart or we go on to other things.
HOWEVER:
Please do not think that everything goes this way. We shall try, as best as we can, to finish "Ketsueki no Iro" and to release it on time. The same goes for a couple of other projects. We won't tell you one of them, but the other is the Light Novel "Kari^2" we've been working on.
Honestly, "Kari^2" is more like a cyberpunk action-oriented RPG video game in style, which, to put in Shocky's words, brings this to mind:
"You know, if we ever got decent 3D game creation software, to go along with our 2D stuff, we could make lots more games. First off, I say we make Kari Squared into a game!! *insert maniacal laughter*"
Well, that's just wishful thinking on her part, but it probably would make a seriously cool game, so, like so many other things, it's been put on the almost-mythical "List of Upcoming(?) Projects":
List of Upcoming(?) Projects (Which may or may not ever come to final fruition, though I for one would like them to, eventually)
Kari^2 - Light Novel
Kari^2 - 3D Action Video Game
Legend Lore 2- Fantasy RPG Trilogy (Actually, this one is about 1/3 done as of...2008, 2007? Been a LONG time since we worked on it...)
Legend Lore 3- Fantasy RPG Trilogy
Blood Infinity (Bl∞d) - Short Story Series (actually revised the story some and wrote out a really cool ending a while back...there's good hope for Kimi Mélana Tepes' story yet!
[Untitled Mecha Novel] - Novel (Started this a while back, and the beginning is really cool, the characters are interesting, and it keeps your interest....until it suddenly and without warning stops. For some REALLY unknown reason, we stopped writing it...)
Ketsueki Otaku (Satsugai Series) - Short Stories from Ketsuki (Wow...these might actually be the original, final-lasting fragments of what became "Ketsueki no Iro"...or did we write these after the idea...Regardless, they formed the basis for most of the plot for "Ketsueki no Iro" and several characters. [Hmm..we should finish these...]
Well, that was interesting.
We seem to have found a new thing to quickly revise and publish.
"Ketsueki Otaku", each story being labeled "Satsugai 1/2/3/etc.", is a smallish series of short stories about victims of Kamiko's lasting evil in Ketsuki, commonly refered to as the "Yan Virus" (from "Yangire", as an in-joke). Each Otaku, as they're refered to as a member of this group, are obsessed with a particular method of, or tool used for, killing. If I remember correctly, Inoue Rissa was actually going to be a member, though that never worked out well (she eventually evolved into a magical girl instead).
So without further ado, KAMINARI presents the first in the series of "Ketsueki Otaku", a sidestory detailing minor events referenced in "Ketsueki no Iro"
"Ketsueki Otaku - Satsugai 1: Kogatana Otaku"
Chiyo/Chi, the "Kogatana Otaku", is a girl with a murderous dissocociative personality. Chiyo is obssessed with knives, and believes firmly that to kill someone you need not just anything, but a weapon that reflects the personality and being of the person being killed with it (so, even if she had dozens to choose from, she wouldn't use a weapon unless it was the perfect match for the murder). Chi, on the other hand, is cruel, ruthless, and enjoys inflicting massive psychological damage on her victims before killing them.

Three new stories!
Hello, KAMINARI fans! Today we have a treat for you! An actual story! But no, not just one, but three! Yes, THREE stories!
"Pocket Guide to Ketsueki no Sekai"
One of several "Pocket Guidebooks" put out by the fictional "Kaminari Corps", an omnipresent entity in the KAMINARI Verse. This Guidebook features information on Ketsuki, also known as "Ketsueki no Sekai", the setting of "Ketsueki no Iro wa...". Included are details of its denizens and its history (including mythology), among other points of interest.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?2jynttn3yxo
"The Legend of Kamiko"
Somewhat spoiler-ish, one might say, but in truth it is a vital piece of backstory, detailing the true history of Kamiko, Tenko, Tanno, and Eki, the four super-powerful supernatural beings in "Ketsueki no Iro wa...". Included in this tale are the origins of how Tanno became a KAMINARI employee, the full story behind "Claire and the Lilies" (see the "Pocket Guidebook to Ketsueki no Sekai", under the Mythology section), and the details of the climactic battle that took place thousands of Ketsuki years previously.

"The Short Days of Summer"
(NOTE: Not for the squeemish, or those who do not like blood, death, or the idea of 7-year-old murderers)
An original short horror story about a young girl who discovers a fun game to pass the time during one fateful summer.
[Note: Revision 2 Version - The orginal "extended ending" of all of a paragraph didn't really fit well with the overall feel of the story, so we eliminated it. Now, the story flows MUCH nicer.]

Retconning
It's that time again.
What time?
Why, time to retcon bunches of stuff, of course!
To catch you up on things:
In "Blood Infinity" (that's how it's pronounced, anyway), Kimi's parents were heartless creeps who abused her, so with the help of her siblings and a "Vampyr", she made sure they would "never bother her again".
...at the cost of becomming a Vampire herself, along with her two siblings.
So, erm...kinda ignore that first preview of "Bl∞d", please!
On a related note, here's some interesting trivia on previous retcons:
"The Color of Blood" ("Ketsueki no Iro wa...") was originally titled "Rissa's Great Adventure", and had nothing to do with blood!
"Digimon Advanced", our old fanfic series, went through so many retcons we finally gave up on the series until we could come up with a coherent storyline!
Oh, by the way?
We have now.
Yes, that's right!
"Digimon Advanced: Reboot" is coming! Look for it soon!

Bl∞d
"Kimi woke up hungry, as usual. Needing to eat, she wandered outside to find some food.
"At first, she found nothing. However, she soon found a nice meal, a sleeping mother dog and her babies. She slowly, though eagerly, opened her mouth, revealing her long, sharp teeth, and pounced on her prey.
"Having drunk her fill of blood, the young vampire returned to the mansion, feeling a bit tired again. She could nap some more until her parents returned with more blood, as the small snack from earlier was hardly enough to satisfy her cravings..."
"Bl∞d - A Vampire Story" (that's an infinity symbol, by the way), is a story about a young vampire named Kimi, centering on her daily (er, nightly) life and adventures, along with her several supernatural (and not) friends.
Though it might not be apparent from the snippet above, this series actually takes a much lighter turn than most KAMINARI works, and especially among the ones that include some form of "blood" in their titles (of which, there are quite a few). In contrast with Ketsueki no Iro's seriousness, drama, and life-threatening situations, "Bl∞d" features comedy and fun, with only the occasionally serious bit.

Ketsueki no Iro wa...
"Ketsueki no Iro wa..." (or, "The Color of Blood is...") is the main project we are currently working on. In it, you play the part of Inoue Kyashi (name may be changed in the beginning of game, however), a delinquent high school girl in charge of taking care of her little sister. As the story unfolds, you come across mysteries to solve, intriguing characters to meet, and deadly situations.
Naturally, being a Visual Novel, it is impossible to see all scenarios, or, indeed, all characters, in a single run-through. To see these, you must play the game through many different times.
Until next time, ja ne!
Inoue Kyashi
