[Update] Hair Graffiti Unlocked & Full Subtitles Support!

Thank you very much for playing DokiDoki Hanetsuki VR: Paddle & Ink! Based on the invaluable feedback we’ve received from you all, we have implemented a major update marking the one-month milestone since our Early Access launch.

In addition to the face and body, you can now draw graffiti on the girls' hair!

• This feature can be toggled ON/OFF in the settings when taking out the graffiti items.

• We hope you enjoy this new level of creative freedom after your victory!

Since the start of Early Access, approximately 33.4% of our players have been from outside of Japan. We realized that many of you couldn't fully enjoy the game because subtitles were previously only available during the Story parts. To ensure everyone can enjoy the game to the fullest, we have added subtitles to every scene that features character voices!

• Subtitles are now displayed across all parts: Story, Hanetsuki, and Graffiti.

• We hope "Hanetsuki fans" around the world will enjoy interacting with the girls even more!

• EULA Update: The End User License Agreement (EULA) has been moved outside the game and will now appear before installation. (For those who have already installed the game, it will appear upon the next launch.)

• Auto Language Detection: The game will now automatically select Japanese or English based on the player's OS language settings at the first launch.

• Retry Improvement: When selecting "Retry" after a defeat, you can now jump directly back into the "Hanetsuki Part."

• Stage 1-2 (Ayane): Reduced the curve width of her normal shots to make them easier to return.

• Stage 1-3 (Hina): Reduced the curve width of her normal shots and slightly decreased the parry area for her Special Shot.

We have fixed the following issues:

• Fixed an issue in Stage 1-1 where the camera and photos appeared with a dark tint during photography.

• Adjusted the overall color grading of Stage 1-1.

• Other minor layout adjustments and stability improvements.

• Fixed a bug where the final line's character motion wouldn't play when skipping dialogue.

• Fixed an issue where the "Grip Guide" for the Hanetsuki phase was displayed incorrectly.

• Fixed a bug where character motions would loop when damage was dealt to the opponent's paddle.

• Fixed an issue where the opponent would move to the center of the court even if the player hit a shot they couldn't return.

• Optimized the spawn process for SP items for better stability.

• Fixed an issue in Stage 1-2 (Ayane) and Stage 1-3 (Hina) where their gaze was directed in an unintended direction.

• Fixed a bug in Stage 1-3 (Hina) where not returning the Special Shot "Splash" resulted in an "OUT."

• Fixed a game-breaking bug where re-gripping the paddle after a point would cause the game to freeze.

• Fixed a bug where items that were automatically stowed after being scolded (for over-drawing before 3 points) could be taken out again.

• Fixed an issue where the girl’s pose would rapidly flicker between "eyes closed" and "eyes open" when bringing a brush near her face.

• Fixed an issue in Stage 1-2 and 1-3 where the girls' gaze was directed in an unintended direction.

• Fixed a bug where graffiti items would remain in the air if the player returned to the Home menu while they were placed.

As this game is still in Early Access, we are aware that there are still many areas for improvement. Despite this, we are beyond grateful to everyone who plays daily and to those who take the time to send us bug reports. Your support means more than words can express.

With this update—especially the full subtitle support—we hope to provide a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for players all over the world.

We will continue to take your feedback to heart as we strive to create the best possible "traditional game" experience. If you have any further thoughts or requests, please feel free to share them on the Steam Community or via social media.

Thank you for your continued support of DokiDoki Hanetsuki VR.
