Sprites Reloaded - 10/20/25
Hiya! I forgot to post a status update at the start of this month on account of some weird timing (did you know my birthday was on the 15th?), buuuut you're getting one now!As you can see by this image, I have FINALLY reshaded all the relevant sprites that will be showing up when the game next g...
Yaay we're getting closer! - 9/14/25
Finally, after so much lengthy, tedious work, re-drawing and re-shading and making up new arms and head poses, each of the main boys are good to go in the art department! I still have to go through the rest of the characters and re-shade them (and fully finish a couple fixes to MC) but we're get...
Status report - 9/8/25
Oops, I forgot to post a patron post for this month. I guess the extra news last month was nice tho.I don't have a whole lot to say, honestly! I've got most of the main boys properly updated at this point, just gotta finish out with Jorge (and then go through all the sprites to simplify the ...
Another Route...? - 8/17/25
Ok! So, this is something I get asked quite a bit. "Can we get a route of X? How about an alternate route with Y and Z? Barry route? Atlas route?? ERIC route!?"To all of those, I've had generally the same response. Adding them into the game as a normal route would not work for "reaso...
Scary times! - 8/1/25
OK so, been a while since my last status report. Long story short, I had my wisdom teeth removed very recently so I've been recovering for the past couple weeks, basically. I'm healing up fine and am nearly ready to get back into the swing of things!(Thinking I'm gonna do a fun lil strea...
Status Report Again - 7/2/25
This month was... rough. Early on, I hurt my wrist in a way that made art very, very difficult and painful. Thankfully, that's all healed up now and I can get back to work properly (...when this headache dies down).Right now, all the expressions and base pose stuff have been finished, now it'...
Status Report - 6/6/25
Hiii I forgot to post the report on the first, so here it is:In case you haven't seen or anything, I'm still streaming my progress in the Sihai discord server! I got a lot done recently, just gotta push through on these last few things. I have all the pose stuff cooked up, I just have to fin...
Hiiiiii, I'm back! - 5/16/25
Soooo after all that time dealing with a broken keyboard, needing to change the entire way I draw sprites, needing to plug in an external keyboard, etc etc, I finally have myself a new computer! Thanks to it, I can finally work on Sihai without needing to use the obtrusive keyboard and I can work on...
Graaaaaaaahhhhhhh - 5/1/25
So, good news and bad news. I'll share the bad news first since the good news rides off of it :VBad news: whatever issues I've been having with my keyboard have somehow (I think) spread to my Clip Studio Paint as well, which would be my primary art program. There's a few issues with it, ...
Hiiii, more status reports - 4/15/25
This time, the images are at the top! I've done a bunch of streaming n such, so I've gotten a whole bit of artwork done. Some of these are a bit surprising I'm sure, so I'll go through them!First: When going through Shen for the arm tweak SHENanigans, we noticed a few things about hi...
Status Report - 4/3/25
It is very hard to type when the "U" "J" and "M" keys don't work. Not that that's particularly relevant, given what I've been up to...Ok so! As you all may be aware, I've been very active on the Sihai discord posting the updated stuff and streaming while I upd...
Monthly Post Go! - 3/2/25

I love Rove. If you know you know.That aside, I did get some significant progress done since the last post I ...
Alan - 1/23/25
Hi! I said a little bit ago that I was toying with Alan's story, character, and what have you- or that I would be. I'm here to shed some more light on that now!After getting stuck again and again, trying to "fix" what I felt was wrong with his route and character and failing, I decid...
Employee-Tier Poll! - 1/23/25
(Please Read)If you've read up on the latest post, then you know what this is about! If you didn't, then I'll TL;DR it even though it's like right there manBasically, with my current shading style it's very cumbersome to line up the shading from the arm to the base body in a way ...
Sprite Shading - 1/22/25
Ok so... I'm sure some of you are caught up on account of the stuff that's been discussed in Discord, but for those of you who either missed it or aren't in the discord to begin with: there's a potential change I'm thinking about making.Pardon his nudity, but here's Alex. Asi...
The end of one year and onto another! - 12/31/24
Heya! It's been a long (but short?) year, and I'm a bit conflicted on how to feel about it! On one hand, I really did make quite a bit of progress on Sihai, even if a large chunk of it wound up being behind the scenes. On the other hand, I know there's still more behind-the-scenes work t...
Paul Stuff and Where We're At RN - 12/21/24
Ok so... I'll try and be concise here. Holidays have got me slam dunked and with not as much time as I'd like to be drawing or writing the usual Sihai fare. Lots of family over and whatnot, Christmas moment. That said, while I've got this time, I thought I'd give you all a status upd...
Jehu's July 21st - 12/6/24
SORRY for the wait, but it's finally here! Jehu's July 21st update has arrived and, with it, a few goodies. (mostly long-term goodies, but still)We've got...A new MC sprite, entirely redone and with new tech to change arms and head poses! (Employee tiers can see the head changing at the ...
Oh right, I didn't mention this yet - 12/1/24
SO the update is not completely finished yet. All the art stuff on my side is done and I'm over 1.5k lines deep into Jehu's update. The end is in sight!But what on Earth is keeping me this long? This update's already a month late, what's the holdup?Wellll....This is Alex (also known...
State of Jehu Update - 10/29/24
Hi! Did you all see that Xenoblade X is getting a remaster on the switch??????? Holy shit????? I'd blab about that, but unfortunately I have more important things to discuss. Namely, over what's going to happen with this current Jehu update and what'll happen with next month.For a bit of...
Aquilo's Hole is Back - 10/2/24
Ok I made a Bit of a goof-up and it turns out that Interns and F2P players didn't have the new Aquilo scene at the gloryholes. My bad! I re-uploaded the builds, so they'll be there after a quick re-download o7(Note: this is specifically for Intern tiers. Employee tiers don't need to re-d...
Jorge's July 17th/20th Update - 10/1/24
Hello! Welcome back to a new episode of Sihai- an "episode" in which Aquilo takes the stand at Club Lilac (I'm saying you can touch his hole now)! I hope you have more than one save for Jorge here, 'cause you might miss some stuff if you've only picked the "important" (ge...
Sorry Interns, part 2 - 9/1/24
NOTE: THIS IS SPECIFICALLY FOR INTERN/$4 TIERYeah so... that version of the game shipped without the image files ._. that sucksAs of right now, an updated version should have shipped to itch.io! Please re-download it when you get the chance.https://iglootheraptor.itch.io/sihais-legacy-patreon-4-tier...
Sorry, Interns - 9/1/24
So apparently I made an oopsie where it comes to the saves folder. There were a bunch of things I was fixing up right at the end there and, unfortunately, this kinda wound up slipping through the cracks.Basically, for both Free versions and Intern versions, saves are now located in the "Employee...

CGs...!? - 8/30/24
Hi! I forgot to make a status update at any point during the month :x sorry about that! A bit late, but I'll make it now.So, as of today, the update is practically finished. It still needs to be playtested and I'm still waiting on a couple of CGs to be completed, then it'll be good to go...
Alan July 17th/20th - 8/1/24
With the coming of the new month comes a brand spankin' new Alan update! In addition to the content added within the update itself (including 3 new CGs and a new sprite and addition to the Employee-Tier sprite glossary), Rob has gotten a visual rework to be more in line with Jehu's new appea...
Status Update - 7/24/24
Heya! Just wanted to pop in and say a few things. First of all, the bulk of the update is already done. Just need to finish up a couple more CGs and it (in theory) should be good to go!Unfortunately, while helping my sister move, I managed to hurt my wrist :l Figures. This means that a few things th...
Help, my cat is licking my arm :L - 7/16/24
He also keeps grabbing my beard and sitting on my drawing tablet. I can't tell if he's being cute or rude! Or both!Anyway, my silly cat aside, I felt like I should share with y'all how the art's been going! Rob is pretty close to complete now. The base is done and the expression area...
