Tsumihoroboshi Voice and Graphics Patch v0.5.1 (Partial Patch)
Pre-releaseHello, everyone. Glad to be back so soon with something really cool to release.
I have a few things to share with the community alongside this release, so please read everything!
Tsumihoroboshi Partial Patch
Starting with our star, we're pleased to say that we decided to release the first half of Tsumihoroboshi so everyone can enjoy it while we finish working on the second half.
Beware that this is a beta release (hence the pre-release tag), so a lot of broken stuff can happen. My recommendation is that everyone should wait for v1.0, but if you are willing to deal with the bugs and actually report them, we couldn't be happier to have you aboard. You can always report bugs right here in the repository (issues tab at the top) and also in our Discord server.
The partial release covers about half of the game (up to _tsumi_011), and it stops at a good place too. So don't be afraid of trying it if you really want to give your feedback about it. Let us know your thoughts about the partial patch, this is very important because it decides if we will release more partial patches in the future.
There is a table at the end of the post with all the downloads already available. Of course, this patch is also available directly through our installer.
Last but not least, there is a small list of features missing in this release:
- Steam sprites are not yet supported.
- Tips were not updated yet and won't work correctly.
Everything else should be available, including lipsync!
07th-Mod now accepts donations
Yes, we tried to stay as far away as we could from donations because we thought Github would be able to handle our patches, but recently this started getting harder and harder. We need donations to host our own server.
These are the immediate changes you should notice if we start hosting our own patches:
- Patches will take less time to build and update.
- No more dropped connections because you couldn't download the patch fast enough (a big deal for the installer!).
- Patch structure remake will make the installation take fewer steps if you are installing it manually.
- Umineko patches won't have to be split into 5 parts anymore (not related to Higurashi but also a big deal)
The sole purpose of hosting our own server is to make the installation process faster and more reliable. Our work will remain open-source and nothing should change in how we deliver the patches. Donators won't get any special treatment or advantages.
Our yearly goal is $200. That's all we need.

Of course, we will be setting up a page with all the details about why we want the server, how the money is going to be spent, and our plans for the future. In this group, our main objective is to always be transparent with our community, so we will be updating the balance monthly with all the spendings. If we get way past our goal, we will fund another year of hosting and shut down the donations.
That's all I have for today, check out the downloads below and if you are interested, please support us!
