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.
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! ↩
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!
I’ve tweeted about these a bunch already, but I am still basically completely blown away by how gorgeous these paintings of *Mute are. By Muju.
Sorry, guys, I’m afraid I have some bad news: Hate Plus is going to be delayed and will not be released in February. I hate to name a date then reneg on it, but I don’t think anyone really wants it to be a rush job, which I’m worried it could end up being if we kept that. We’ve got a lot of new log file content about the events leading up to year 0, an all-new soundtrack, and three unique routes in store.
My apologies to everyone who’s excited about it. Please be patient with us while we make Hate Plus as good as it can be! orz
Hate Plus will feature many amazing technological improvements, such as reading over your shoulder, text search actually like working, scroll bars, and most crazy of all… INDIFFERENCE!
