Not official. By Muju.
Okay, finally, non-local people can buy the Analogue Deluxe Edition! I have approximately 180 boxes left; if they sell out, I’ll definitely start looking into if there’s demand for a second run.
This thing is basically a box full of really rad Analogue stuff that I personally wanted to see. Maybe you’ll find it cool as well!
ANALOGUE DELUXE EDITION CONTAINS:
• two 11”x17” posters
• two papercraft dolls
• two Mugunghwa mission patches
• Analogue: A Hate Story + OST bundle Steam Key
• Hate Plus soundtrack preview
$30 + $10 shipping to Canada.
$30 + $15 shipping anywhere else in the world.
Hey, are you interested in the Analogue Deluxe Edition but can’t make it to Bit Bazaar? Well, sometime in the next week or two, I’ll start taking pre-orders for it, so I can figure out how big a second run I need to do.
(However, you should still try to make it out to Bit Bazaar if you can—there’s awesome bonus material in the form of a preview of Hate Plus’s soundtrack, including the title theme, that’ll only be available there!)
If you follow me on Twitter or this blog, you will definitely know once pre-orders are up. If you don’t, gimme your email address and I’ll let you know!
Introducing the Analogue Deluxe Edition
So I’m really excited about this. For TCAF’s Bit Bazaar, I’m putting together a boxed copy of Analogue, complete with a bunch of physical goodies. It features two posters by the amazing fanartist Muju, papercraft dolls designed by my friend Adam and Raide, two embroidered mission patches1, a Steam key for the game and OST bundle, plus an exclusive preview of the Hate Plus soundtrack by Isaac Schankler.
Honestly, this is all just stuff that I really wanted an excuse to make. Right now, I’m doing a run of 200 copies; after this, I’ll probably look into seeing if there’s demand for a second print run.
The whole thing will cost you $30. If that’s too much, don’t worry—there’s also going to be postcard versions of the posters available too!
So please, stop by Bit Bazaar this Saturday and check it out! It’s going to be really really awesome!

Fair warning: due to some timing issues, the patches are not actually going to be ready in time for TCAF. :( But I’ll be taking contact information there, and I will definitely figure out a way to send them out to anyone who buys the box there, I promise! ↩
I’ve been meaning to release the source code to Analogue for ages; sorry about taking so long! Here are a couple of notes on it:
- Please don’t try to transform the demo version into the full version by using set_flag.nd.rpy, because it won’t work properly. There’s a lot of files missing from the demo in order to save space; it’ll crash about halfway through if you try this. Honest. (There’s easier ways to pirate it, anyway.)
- You can use the python code portions for whatever you like. I’ve also left in the script, but only for context; please don’t interpret this as me releasing any sort of legal rights whatsoever to the writing in the game! (I apologize for even needing to say this, but… you know, lawyers.)
If you’re okay with both those things, you can download the source here. I hope you find it helpful!

Also, a bonus, because I realized this not adequately gay:
So I asked June to draw anything so long as it was “SOMETHING WILDLY INAPPROPRIATE WITH MY CHARACTERS PLZ.” She did not disappoint. <3
Hate Plus: ~Mute’s Golden Days~
I’ve talked a lot about Hate Plus, but I haven’t really formally announced it in detail yet… so here I am! (No, this is not a joke.)
Hate Plus is a sequel to Analogue: A Hate Story that continues directly from the end of that game, and explores, over the course of three days, the events leading up to year 0. If Analogue was the backstory of *Hyun-ae, then Hate Plus is the backstory of *Mute. It’ll continue from your Analogue save file, so each ending will have its own route with equal focus. It plays similarly to Analogue, but instead of your AI companion simply showing you files they’ve picked, you’ll have to investigate yourself, and discover what happened together!
It features new art and costumes, an all new soundtrack (plus theme song “It’s Not Ero!!”) from Isaac Schankler, a whole new and improved UI, and more writing than Analogue did. It’ll be out summer 2013.
Please look forward to your sharing your hateful days with *Hyun-ae and *Mute!
