Development is NOT dead, worry not. In fact, new story content is being worked on at this very moment. Shirokoi was doing an absurd amount things at once, including, but not limited to: Working on his other VN in order to alleviate his burnout from endlessly pouring his time into Repeat (also a great VN, check it out, it's called "Temptations Ballad"), reworking ALL of Repeat's sprites (over 200+, an arduous, and VERY time consuming process), replacing old CGs to accommodate the updated stature of the new character sprites (also an incredible amount of work that most take for granted), typo/bug/code passing the ENTIRETY of the game's script (which is gargantuan, mind you, and an ever-ongoing process as more of the game is released), having what was meant to be a small-time side job morph into a full-time investment that consumed extraordinary amounts of his time and energy for some odd months (thankfully it's over as of a few weeks ago), and coming down with sickness near the beginning of September that involved a dangerously high fever, difficulty breathing, and going to Urgent Care, which lasted throughout practically the entirety of the month. (Thankfully he seems to have recovered as well as he possibly could have.) Also, a brief side note... his itch.io pages have not been updated for a while, and showcase some old writing and character sprites not wholly representative of the VNs in their current status.
If you are STILL unsatisfied with everything provided in this comment so far, the best alternative I can provide is to tell you to support his Patreon page ($3/month, lowest tier), and get access to the Discord channel, that is filled with some lovely people where you can ask [respectful and tactful] questions, have early access to future updates, get more insight in regards to the state and development of the project, and support Shirokoi all at the same time.
In conclusion... it has been an absolute mess as of this year for the poor guy, but let it be known, that he has by no means forgotten his projects. You don't work on something for ~5 years (maybe longer, I'm not fully positive), and simply forget about it, that is a silly idea to humor. With the mountain of obstacles finally over (for the most part), development can finally resume, and it is in fact, doing so.
And with all of that said, I hope I was able to put some of your minds at ease. I love this VN as much as you guys, and I also want to see it completed one day.
Happy birthday, Shirokoi! (As far as I know, it's September 16th, same as one certain Black Cat aka Phillip).
Thank you for your huge amount of amazing work. Sorry, I can no longer support you via Patreon - I live in Russia and we all know, how does the rest of the world treat us now... So I can't pay with my card or PayPal - all payments rejected. Maybe, soon I get new Visa card from Kazakhstan and then I'll continue my support.
A shame how the Western world has become hypocrite, rest assured. They can enjoy their own world, and those who are degenerated enough will respect anyone who are at a crossfire during the war. =D
Because @FurryNipples living in Russia, he cannot support the creator due to the Russian-Ukrainian War and that he is barred to transfer money to other people as part of the plan to tank down Russian economy.
Westerners such as Americans, British, Australians, and Europeans who are degenerated enough may be wary of Russians, sparking the racial hatred of the Russian people. This is similar to our situation where BongBong Marcos is elected to be president of the Philippines, most Americans and other freedom-loving Westerners cannot support the Filipino artists because of the so-called Bloody History. Nevertheless, they claimed that is their right to freedom of expression and freedom of choice. However, when these rights are unregulated, they can spark a radical and extreme factions such as the people who now accept Woke culture such as the Australian protesters of defending their rainbow rights. Such as right now.
USA withdrew support from Marcos because of the risk of civil war. I know of a certain Marcos that lead a dictatorship in your beautiful country. USA didn't interfere with PFP elections in 2022 so I don't know how that makes us degenerates. I don't know how you can unironically say that freedom of expression and choice should be regulated, but OK. Cultural difference I guess, I was born in a country in which I can be free (not so much any more, maybe that makes you happy). USA allows assholes like Neo-Nazis and KKK to hold parades because we're civilized people, doesn't mean we actively support them. People have the right to defend what they want, let democracy determine if these people are significant or not. I am tired of the people who think they can tell us how to feel / act / think. I may not support the uprising of WOKE culture / flag wavers, but I have absolutely NO right telling them what they should do in their lives (as long as they don't hurt others and allow us to form our own opinions). Neither should you. Unfortunately, I agree with you with the Russia-Ukraine thing. A huge orthodox church was vandalized in USA recently. That's mostly because of the propaganda machines known as western media though, most of us just despise the Russian government, not the people. Maybe you'll release the hatred you have in your heart, where I live, many of us Americans love your country and many others in Oceania. I hope you will love us too. Stay strong and I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
I want to start a debate and argument with you @AureolusC. but I wish not to because I don't want to drag ourselves you and me to a debate. If there is somehow we could PM together, then reply.
All in all, you're right, cultural difference makes ourselves see to others different. Don't take pride of yourself actually, as I review what you and I have said, I shouldn't have add mention "America" and "BongBong Marcos" and just stick to Russian-Ukraine War to what @FurryNipples said in his situation of wanting to support the developer but cannot because he's Russian.
aaaaaa i just can't wait this is awesome, i've been waiting for so long without playing it because i wanted to rediscover the game with the new sprites and stuff
you know what, sure, let's spend money on the patreon, even tho i only have a part time job as i'm a student. Who needs food or money to pay rent am i right XD
Very well written. It has everything you can imagine. the story touched me emotionally. It's sad, funny and exciting. I was rooting for Euca to see if everything went well. The characters are well described and you feel like you know them. I really hope that it will continue soon and that I can read more. Sissel's story is my favorite.
No one actually knows when the next public update will come out but it has been announced that they should be coming out soon. The reasoning is because it was somewhat recently announced that the game was going to be getting an Art overhaul. Again, nobody knows when they probably come out but it should be soon
I don't know if you know this yet, but in a way work has technically resumed on repeat, but not with new story content . Apparently, all artwork in the entire game is being reworked , from the Sprites, to the CGs. Basically, the entire game is getting overhauled, art wise, story-wise, again no new content there just yet. Nobody really knows when it's supposed to be made public if at all, but I heard it's supposed to be quite soon. Fingers crossed
I am absolutely loving these new sprites and cgs. I'm not gonna lie,the old ones looked too young for my taste and made the NSFW content hard to enjoy. The story is 10/10. Now I can recommend this vn to everyone.
Owen is confirmed to be 19 and the other main characters, they are an unknown age but are thought to be a couple years younger than Owen. As for side characters, Samuel is somewhere in his thirties and one of the wishes is over 100 years old. All other ages idk
As far as anyone who isn't a patron knows, we'll have to wait until he decides to make them public . No one knows when the next update will be public because no information has been given on when said date will come
Hey, I was playing the game (Sissel's route) and there was this sweet musicbox OST (named Hanahaki, btw) and somehow the melody reminded me of something but I couldn't exactly find what
Turns out it's the exact same melody as the song "Floria" by Sako Tomohisa (which you could have heard in an anime called Natsume Yuujinchou, it's the 6th opening)
https://twitter.com/shirokoi/status/1487516841719345154 IM GONNA CRY, MY BABY WAS TURNED INTO A MUSCLEMAN ...banging my head against the wall. see its fine if its like a timejump thing but not my baby he was perfect T^T. gonna have to get used to this.
yea im fighting my thoughts too, i liked the diversity before . if i wanted a hunk i'd go for owen and i'd go for sissel if i wanted slim. i expected the rework to happen ..thought i would be prepared for the results but nope.
Man, this ain't right.... Sissel was WAY cuter before than these new sprites. How the heck did he go from "homeless, barely affords food (his wallet is literally empty) Sissel" to "more buff than Owen who works out at the gym frequently"? Someone who hardly eats doesn't have a muscular body like that. Shirokoi better rewrite his route if he plans to make this sprite change. I hardly believe that musclehead Sissel can delicately work on his white chocolate sculpture for the culinary contest with those bulging pecs not breaking the chocolate between his fingers.
Still hoping for this, https://twitter.com/shirokoi/status/1515507737756639232 owen looks so so so so much more different here and it just takes away THAT perfect feeling. The old art gives such a nostalgic/soft feeling which is what i loved about this game (i dont play Temp. Ballad cause im only really into Repeat style). His body looks amazingly lean and really fit, but in the new one hes looks like a more aggressive hulk/extreme body builder contestant (not saying its bad) . But they did say that its more difficult/time consuming drawing the old way..maybe im just that one gay who does like everything buff'd up. I do wish Sissel went untouched, specially with his lore being that he survived on the street and such.
Well, canonically, Phil would actually have muscle, mainly due to the fact that hes the black cat, as well as the....one scene in his route that implies he was kidnapped, he probably works out, and while yes, his original sprite is cute, i think shiro decided to go with a bit more realistic body types this time around, even cole (from temptations balled) has some kind of muscle
Apparently even Philip is somewhat hunky now. I thought he was supposedly a nerd who found physical activity was not his cup of tea? Everyone is so hunky! D:
I guess gays really love muscles... I hope there's someone's more on the chubby side too...
I've been wondering that too. From what I understood, he released it to his Patrons weeks ago, and normally, he releases updates here only a couple weeks after that. Maybe something is holding him up.
whenever hes ready, i believe hes working on his other game for now because he wanted to take a break from this (i think the mood/writing of this story was affecting his health).
From what I heard from another post on here, he released an update for Repeat A few weeks ago to his Patrons. Mormally, he releases it to Itch a couple weeks later, but it's been much longer than it usually takes for him to post it here.
yea i seen, phillip is more muscular now which for some reason i dont like..i really think the way their bodies looked before are perfect. for as long as i played this game it reallyyyyyy caught me off guard had to do a double take lol
Has he given any idea on when non patrons are gonna see the update? I'm heavily considering finally becoming a Patron of his just because what I saw on his Twitter of Sissel's has me wanting to play the update really bad. XD I know it's an art only update but I really wanna see. Lol.

happy to know that shirokoi is still updating repeat, thanks kind stranger and shiro.
When is the next Update TvT
"Repeat development is currently on hiatus."
its a hard pill to swallow :c
Happy birthday, Shirokoi! (As far as I know, it's September 16th, same as one certain Black Cat aka Phillip).
Thank you for your huge amount of amazing work. Sorry, I can no longer support you via Patreon - I live in Russia and we all know, how does the rest of the world treat us now...

slr, but thank you for your reply anyways.

is the devollopement of the game is still like going because its been a long time since it get the 7.2.0 maj but this game is incredible
They were working on a second project called temptations ballad but now they're switching their focus back to this project for a couple months
cant wait for next update
I really hope there is a Chinese version.
just noticed 2 of the images on this page are window mode screenshots.
When is the new version coming out
not sure but i can say he has reworked all the sprites so it wont be long for public release
aaaaaa i just can't wait this is awesome, i've been waiting for so long without playing it because i wanted to rediscover the game with the new sprites and stuff
if you become a patreon (which im not sadly T_T) you could get access to version 7.3.3 which has all of the chareters revamped
you know what, sure, let's spend money on the patreon, even tho i only have a part time job as i'm a student. Who needs food or money to pay rent am i right XD
I just had an epiphone that the story owen tells you actually happens and considering what he said for phillip I'm scared for his route
It a shame this novel got abonden it was going to well
its not abandoned shirokoi is re doing all the current character sprites he also start development on a new novel call temptations balled
Sissel is the absolute best boi.
oh Yes. I whas crying with him about his background.
Hey, when comes the new update? because i love this game sooo much <3
No one actually knows when the next public update will come out but it has been announced that they should be coming out soon. The reasoning is because it was somewhat recently announced that the game was going to be getting an Art overhaul. Again, nobody knows when they probably come out but it should be soon
Hey, Thnx for saying it
Good visual novel, one day it will be translated into Spanish? Cheers
omg i love this so much
VN on hiatus?
They spent a while working only in the other VN, Temptation's Ballad. But both projects are alive and repeat in particular is getting updated art.
i see, thamkss~
I don't know if you know this yet, but in a way work has technically resumed on repeat, but not with new story content . Apparently, all artwork in the entire game is being reworked , from the Sprites, to the CGs. Basically, the entire game is getting overhauled, art wise, story-wise, again no new content there just yet. Nobody really knows when it's supposed to be made public if at all, but I heard it's supposed to be quite soon. Fingers crossed
Ohhh~
Sissel:
wHAT?
Twat
:3
So true.
thank you kind person
Cock won't what?
I am absolutely loving these new sprites and cgs. I'm not gonna lie,the old ones looked too young for my taste and made the NSFW content hard to enjoy. The story is 10/10. Now I can recommend this vn to everyone.
How old are the characters, canonicaly? Anyway, Sissel's old sprites were perfect.
Owen is confirmed to be 19 and the other main characters, they are an unknown age but are thought to be a couple years younger than Owen. As for side characters, Samuel is somewhere in his thirties and one of the wishes is over 100 years old. All other ages idk
How do we play the new repeat version?
As far as anyone who isn't a patron knows, we'll have to wait until he decides to make them public . No one knows when the next update will be public because no information has been given on when said date will come
Does anyone know when ANY of the art overhauls will be made public?!
yes
I literally cant wait for the next update 😁
Sorry to ask, but when is there going to be a new update?
They are re-working on the sprites and all, so this might take some time to get updates and also they are working on Temptation's ballad.
Oh ok, btw im a new Reader and when i looked at update history i just gets a little bit scared because i was thinking they forget about this vn
Yeah I feel the same, that why I usually check their Twitter to see if there’s been updates in there, if not then I don’t play it lol.
shirokoi hasnt they're he is redoing the sprites...patreons have access to the new characters appearance
>/<
Hey, I was playing the game (Sissel's route) and there was this sweet musicbox OST (named Hanahaki, btw) and somehow the melody reminded me of something but I couldn't exactly find what
Turns out it's the exact same melody as the song "Floria" by Sako Tomohisa (which you could have heard in an anime called Natsume Yuujinchou, it's the 6th opening)
I'm glad I realized that !
https://twitter.com/shirokoi/status/1487516841719345154 IM GONNA CRY, MY BABY WAS TURNED INTO A MUSCLEMAN ...banging my head against the wall. see its fine if its like a timejump thing but not my baby he was perfect T^T. gonna have to get used to this.
From twunk to hunk... i'm fine. no, i'm fine. seriously, i'm fine. i'm fine... (sniffles)
i don't mind... i don't think i mind...
oof
yea im fighting my thoughts too, i liked the diversity before . if i wanted a hunk i'd go for owen and i'd go for sissel if i wanted slim. i expected the rework to happen ..thought i would be prepared for the results but nope.
Am I going to miss Sissel's old look? Yes, but I LOVE the new look he's got now. I can't wait to see more...
And now I want the update even more than I already did. I wanna give Sissel sooooo many hugs now.
Man, this ain't right.... Sissel was WAY cuter before than these new sprites. How the heck did he go from "homeless, barely affords food (his wallet is literally empty) Sissel" to "more buff than Owen who works out at the gym frequently"? Someone who hardly eats doesn't have a muscular body like that. Shirokoi better rewrite his route if he plans to make this sprite change. I hardly believe that musclehead Sissel can delicately work on his white chocolate sculpture for the culinary contest with those bulging pecs not breaking the chocolate between his fingers.
Is It impossible to release TWO versions of game? With new sprites and with old sprites?
Still hoping for this, https://twitter.com/shirokoi/status/1515507737756639232 owen looks so so so so much more different here and it just takes away THAT perfect feeling. The old art gives such a nostalgic/soft feeling which is what i loved about this game (i dont play Temp. Ballad cause im only really into Repeat style).

I guess gays really love muscles... I hope there's someone's more on the chubby side too...
He was perfect before. Why?
Why thou? It's cute to see how buff he can be now, which is very,,,, unsettling with how the nsfw scenes go before..
I want to see that picture, but I don't have twitter, it's telling me I need an account to view it. It angers me (metaphorically)
Hey is there a discord i can join?
is there a good ending for Sissel? i got him leaving the city and leaving the mc behind
litterally just keep playing
its not the end
When are we going to see an update
I've been wondering that too. From what I understood, he released it to his Patrons weeks ago, and normally, he releases updates here only a couple weeks after that. Maybe something is holding him up.
whenever hes ready, i believe hes working on his other game for now because he wanted to take a break from this (i think the mood/writing of this story was affecting his health).

I wonder if Phillip will remain just a friend in his route. Would be interesting.
SPOILERS:https://e621.net/posts/3176815?q=shirokoi, https://e621.net/posts/3176792?q=shirokoi
he's redone some of the older scenes so this could be a sign of things to come
He's posted those over on his Fur Affinity account too. I'm excited to see what else is going to change when the update is ready.
This game made me wanna get the nuclear launch codes
i can't tell if this is a good or a bad thing
