May Progress Report
It's been some time since the last release so a status update feels warranted. The project is still being actively developed. Since the last release, there has been some significant rework on the foundation of the game: the movement. The purpose of this rework has been to expand the game beyond just running into a more proper stealth game.
I have been very optimistic with estimates in the past, and have generally been able to stick with them, but the rework of the foundations has taken significantly longer than anticipated. Development has slowed down a bit because of the challenge of the task, but it has been making progress a step at a time.
The focus on this rework has been to include more proper stealth mechanics. This includes the ability to crouch behind cover and crawl more silently on the ground. These will allow you to more silently streak around town while providing nice eye candy shots for you.
The next release will feature these new stealth mechanics with a tentative release in June. This will also be the last free release and serve as the demo. All subsequent releases requiring a one-time purchase of the game on itch.io.
I apologize for the lack of updates. Development has fallen behind schedule, but it is still very much alive! If you want to stay to date with more frequent developments, you can follow me on Twitter or join the Discord server, as updates are posted far more frequently there. Please do consider subscribing on Patreon to help development of Roshutsu!
There is plenty more in store that will be revealed in June, so stay tuned!

its supposed to be invisible
You just chose wrong,
Perhaps adding in other types of NPCs into the mix would be a nice additional challenge as well such as police that once noticed is an instant game over, as others have said other female NPCs.
Also I feel like their line of sight is too short or lacking because at times I can see them from the middle of the road yet they can't see me? (Or is everyone just partially sighted? XD)
Maybe add in a daytime mode where everywhere is alot busier to add that extra challenge?
I would also suggest adding in some kind of mission or objectives would be good, I know there are the existing challenges but I feel like something else would be good to have in there as well like for example 'reach the crossroad and masturbate whilst naked'
Finally I would like to be able to customise the character (even if its just a selection of pre-set shapes and sizes)
Those are my thoughts on this so far
Fuk, I don't have money
I totally support you in going paid, however, I feel like, as the update is currently looking, it wouldn't be enough to truly push it to that "Demo" status that you're marketing the last free version as. I'd personally suggest a couple extra quality of life additions, such as Female NPCs, and the ability to flash while wearing the sundress, before releasing the demo, to give it a more complete feeling, cause the lack of Female NPCs and flashing using the sundress definitely makes the game feel like it's missing things, and I don't think that'd be a good feeling to have in a demo, as demos are supposed to demonstrate what the experience of playing the full game would be like.
That is a fair point. I will update the demo as the game is developed to keep it mostly parity functionality-wise, but it will be lacking the content I will be expanding upon for the paid release.
That'd be perfect, thanks!
Totally understandable, everyone needs to eat… and if I can afford this much takeout, I can afford chipping in :)
Besides, the discord community is nice. Perhaps I’m getting a little too comfortable over there, haha.
kinda wish the full game would be cheap on itch tho
Sad to hear that the next release will be the last free one. That's honestly a huge turn off in my opinion. Do you have an idea for how much you will charge for the game?
Don't be a choosing beggar. They have to eat and have a roof over their head.
you can remove the first sentence in your comment and still make sense. in fact, its just unnecessary and rude.
Who me? I didn't think so. I didn't curse or name call. Everyone just wants free things and I was just saying that if people create/provide services, they should get paid for them.
