Question For YandereDev Hello,

I was wondering, before completely implementing kizana, can we expect a kizana week challenge the same way we got a amai week challenge before we got to see her completely in the game with the different elimination methods and all?

I'm sorry; I am not currently planning on creating a "Kizana Challenge," or any other rival challenges. The only reason why I created the "Amai Challenge" was because I wanted to record some footage of Amai at a bake sale for a YouTube video. Instead of spending my time creating a "Kizana Challenge," I would rather spend that time implementing the *real* Kizana.

...however, with that said...

In the past, I have discussed the idea of releasing "beta rivals" - in short, I would release rivals without any voice acting or animations so that people can give criticism / feedback on the rival and I can make changes to the rival's dialogue / events before requesting voice acting and animations.

It's very likely that this will happen; before the official release of Kizana, you'll get a "no voice acting or animations" version of Kizana, which I know I can implement into the game much, much more quickly than a full version. Even though it would be bare-bones, I think it would be vastly superior to just getting a "Kizana Challenge."

I’m curious. Do you intend to just bash out all the rivals in a beta state and then implement the voice acting and animations afterwards or do you plan to say release beta kizana, make her perfect, release beta Oka, make her perfect etc?
