• Updated Ren'Py and Python to latest versions
• Added some Super Mystery VIPs to the list of names

Merry Christmas to everyone who has downloaded, played, streamed, watched, reviewed, recommended, or even harshly insulted my little lockdown project, After School Murder Club!!

This quote-unquote "game" was made to amuse some Discord friends during a depressing few months at the onset of 2021, and the fact that it's seen over 2500 downloads and had so many great reviews (87% positive at the time of writing) just blows my tiny mind. I'm not a programmer... heck, I barely even qualify as a game dev... and your enthusiasm and encouragement really means the world to me.

I don't know if I'll ever make another game, but if I do, it'd be amazing to see the same kind of support. And if you're reading this and want to make your own games... believe me, you can do it! Because if I can make something, then literally anyone can. There are so many great tools out there - like the free Ren'Py engine[www.renpy.org] that I used to make ASMC - to help amateurs like us get our ideas out into the world.

My goal for 2022: get the Game Grumps to play this. I mean, it's right up their alley, right? It has dumb dialogue, cringe comedy, waifus, and a Wheel of Fortune-inspired minigame. (Plus, there's an Easter egg if you enter your name as "FriendArin", like in their Doki Doki Literature Club! playthrough.) I'm sure we can make this happen! Arin Hanson, if you're reading this, you know you want to.

Jokes aside... thanks again, everyone!

Have a wonderful Xmas and New Year!

Praise the Teeps.

• Added (NSFW) tag to the beginning of the streaking route.
• Fixed a bug that prevented Val V. Handel from going to the beach.
• Added a VIP to the list.

At long last, the Murder in Paradise update for After School Murder Club!! is live!

This is my homage to the many, many anime that have bonus beach episodes, in which the characters run around in swimsuits and hilarity (and fan service) ensues. It has all the screwball comedy, outdated memes, and royalty-free music that you'd expect from ASMC!!... but this time there are two new characters, and bikinis!

The new scenes should take you around 30 minutes to read through, and there are six new Achievements to unlock too!

You don't need to buy or install anything separately; just update the game to the latest version, and these bonus scenes will be added in automatically. To access them, get to the end of the story's Second Day. When you're given the option to head to the beach, take it! (You can also skip the new scenes entirely; useful if you're replaying the game to get different endings.)

Oh, and please pay attention to the content warning at the start of the new scenes!

As always, thank-you so much for all the downloads, reviews and streams. ASMC!! started as a dumb test game I made for some friends during lockdown, and I never expected so many people to enjoy it. It's embarrassingly amateur in many ways, but it makes me happy to know it's out there in the world, making people laugh (in one way or another).

There are no further plans for major ASMC!! content, but I'll continue to support the game via bugfixes and other little tweaks for the foreseeable future. And I hope you continue to follow Rabbit, Deer, You in my future projects too!

Praise the Teeps!!

2000 downloads?!

Thank-you so much to everyone who has downloaded, shared, reviewed and streamed my first attempt at a visual novel! Special shout-outs to Hiyooori[www.twitch.tv] and enbyzee[www.twitch.tv] for their entertaining and thought-provoking streams.

I began work on ASMC!! during lockdown as a way to entertain a couple of friends, with no intention of ever publishing it on Steam. I'm blown away by the positive reception it's gotten, and it really inspires me to start work on a new game in the near future that takes all the constructive feedback I've gotten into account, such as a more consistent and polished art style.

In the meantime, I'm hard at work on the game's free beach update, which will add multiple new scenes of the characters playing around during summer vacation. Here's a preview of a new CG by the immensely talented nyaanite to tide you over! (Heheh, "tide".)

I aim to have it finished and added to the game in the next few weeks!

Until then, thanks again!

Okay, so...

After School Murder Club!! launched on Steam exactly one month ago, and in that time it's seen over 1000 downloads?!

ASMC was just a silly project I started to amuse some friends during quarantine, so to see it being played and enjoyed by so many people is really surreal and amazing. I'm not a game developer and I have no prior experience, so I've been learning a lot.

While I'm here, I'd also like to announce that I'll be working on the so-called Xtreme Paradise DLC Pack that was teased in the game. This will be a free, automatic update, and it will add several scenes of the cast messing about at the beach, in the style of every anime OVA ever made. There will be new characters, new achievements, and more general weirdness.

I'm afraid I can't announce a release date yet; between working a full-time job and collaborating with an artist on a new visual novel project, my time is stretched quite thin. But I'll be working on this as much as I can in the coming weeks.

And again, thank-you so much to everyone who has downloaded, played, reviewed, streamed, and otherwise interacted with this little game of mine!
