It's a SUMMER SALE

Hello friends, it's been a while, hasn't it? We hope you had a wonderful time playing our small Visual Novel. After kinking out a few bugs, the resonance has been tremendous. Thousands of downloads, overwhelmingly positive reviews, so many screenshots... thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, this is so much more than expected. We were working tirelessly to make this game a great experience for everyone. Since launch, we added a higher contrast mode for better accessability, repaired the achievment system, made sure the game is Steam-Deck ready... We think we're in a good state. In case you have missed it, we also just recently overhauled our shop presence with a few images. Not much, but it now looks cleaner. As you know, the STEAM SUMMER SALE just started! And of course we are part of it! DO check out the Soundtrack and Deluxe edition, both available on Steam and discounted by 50%. Don't miss out on it~ Find the DLC here! Speaking of soundtrack - it is also available on Spotify for your listening pleasure. Here's all the ways to listen to the music! Aside from that we also released an exclusive instrumental version of the opening song, Stardust, on YouTube. Check it out here: [previewyoutube=W7cMgyC98jw;full][/previewyoutube] As always, all of the music can be used for stream and video production, as long as you credit us. Use it freely~ Lastly, the discounts also extends to our merch. Use special promo code SUMMER to get 10% off on everything. Get the merch here! And that's a wrap! Enjoy the summer, my friends. - BattleProgrammer, lead dev PS: Blackwing Gaming is working on a new project. Veeeeery early pre-production, but do follow our Twitter for more info down the line.

Hotfix 1.3

Hello friends, just a quick hotfix that (hopefully) fixes some weird behaviour regarding the True Blackwing achievement. At each startup now the unlocked CGs are counted and synched with the achievement. Additionally, the internal logic of counting should be more robust as well. So if you've been hit by the "0 progress" issue despite having unlocked all images, in theory after the next startup of the game it should properly count. (Fingers crossed). Sorry for the inconvenience!

Patch 1.1 is out!

Hello friends! Thank you for over 3000 downloads! Are you all having fun with the game? For us at BWG this is a huge success, and we hope this excitement can be shared with you. Today we published a small patch.

  • added an optional darker textbox that can be activated via the settings menu for higher contrast
  • added a brand new CG for the Yamamii arc

Did you know that the textbox opacity can be adjusted freely in the settings as well? If you have trouble reading the text on brighter backgrounds, please do check that out. We wish you all a wonderful day~ - BattleProgrammer, lead dev

Hello friends! We are very proud to announce that a release date for Kuroi Tsubasa has finally been set: April 4th, 10AM GMT. It is completely surreal to finally publish this game. Over the last two years so many incredible things have happened. I found new friends online, learned so many new skills, powered through hardships... and the result is finally here. Each and every one of us worked tirelessly to release the very best thing we could do. And quite honestly, this game has turned out better than any of us could ever imagine. And we hope that you all can enjoy our creation as well. To advertise our launch, we have created a website with more infos regarding the story, setting, characters, art and music. If you want to know more, check out our new and fancy site: Kuroi Tsubasa. Aside from that I want to take a moment and talk about the available bonus content. There is a DLC, which includes an in-game Character and model viewer. also a screenshot mode, as well as 4k desktop wallpapers, and finally a special, otherwise unreleased song. The other part is the OST which includes over 60 songs from the game in high quality. If you purchase the OST, you will be allowed to use the songs in your own streams and video production!* Both pieces of DLC are $4.99 each, or $7.99 for a bundle. If you like the game, consider supporting us via the DLC so we can make more cool, fancy, bigger games! Thank you! See you all in two weeks! - BattleProgrammer, lead dev * as long as proper attribution is given

Kuroi Tsubasa will be part of Steam Next Fest!

Hello, friends! We haven't posted an update in a while. That's because we are trucking on full steam (heh, pun intended) ahead towards our planned release!

Demo changes


First and foremost: we want to thank you all for following this game and trying our demo. Without you all this game wouldn't have been possible. After some user feedback there are two minor changes to the demo: - We fixed a bug that sometimes not all images would show as intended. This was caused by a faulty version of the engine, and is now resolved - We completely overhauled the Tanaka sprite! Additionally, there is now a thread on our community boards here on Steam where you can leave your suggestions and complaints about the demo. Please check it out and give your honest feedback!

Overhauled Steam presence


As you might have seen, we completely oberhauled our shop presence on Steam. The new banners and images reflect our game so much better than the old, boring ones. Blackwing smugly staring into your eyes is something everybody needs [strike]and deserves[/strike]. There's also some news regarding our socials: Check out our YouTube channel where we uploaded teasers and reveals over the last couple of weeks! How about this exclusive scene showcase for example: [previewyoutube=YcMyhgYtcTc;full][/previewyoutube] Aside from that there's also more and better structured songs in the OST! Split into two discs, with some super cool new cover art, over 60 songs just for you all to enjoy. And lastly, finally some preview screenshots for the deluxe version and character viewer.

Steam Next Fest


Starting on the 21. of February Steam will present the STEAM NEXT FEST, a showcase of upcoming games. And we are obviously part of it! Please take this opportunity to share our game and the demo with friends and family that might be interested to play. Heck, fire up the demo yourself to gaze upon the glory of new new Tanaka. And that about wraps it up. Thank you all for reading, and we wish you a wonderful time! Dreams do come true. Just a few more weeks. - Blackwing Gaming

The story


I Just Wanted to Laze Around In the Sun...
Man, why did it come to this? Name's Blackwing, by the way. I'm not exactly sure how I got this name, but hey, it's something, right?
Anyway. I just left... the underground recently. Even as a devil it's all fire and brimstone down there, really not my style. Up here with all the earthlings it's so much nicer.
Just gotta keep the evil inside in check, right? Can't be that hard.
It would be unimaginable if that part of me splits up, manifests as shadow, and causes havoc all over town. Can't happen. Nuh-uh.
...
It happened. Oh dear. Now I have to find someone with enough positive emotions, that can contain my glorious self, and help me defeat the shadow, so I can go back to my dreams of lazyness.
This plain office lady over there... Kureha, was it? She and her newfound friends will help me. Let's play pretend magical girl, kukuku.

The Game

Kuroi Tsubasa is a linear Visual novel with different paths to take. The game features over 120.000 words of dialogue and a whole town to explore! Meet Kureha and her friends on this charming adventure.
A full original soundtrack of over 50 songs, dozens of high quality art pieces, a unique cast, and a heartwarming story await you!

The Cast

Kureha Kurono
The main character of this game. She recently moved to this small town, got a new job at an insurance company and is trying her best to survive in mediocrity. Her big secret is that she is a fan of VTubers and Idols - a fact that she keeps secret, in fear of losing face. Good natured, well mannered, and has a big heart.

Blackwing
The narrator of this game. Originally a devil from "down there", he succeeded in escaping to the human world. However, because he is kind of arrogant, and also a bit... dim, he neglected to keep his evil side in check, which split off of him and is now wreaking havoc. His big dream is to laze around in the sun, on a patch of soft grass.

Puka Amamato
The spunky office lady, with a slightly mischivous streak. Puka loves all things retro, be it old manga or video games. SHe usually can be seen slacking off instead of working properly.

Onizuka Takeshi
This huge and intimidating man has a heart of gold. Recently he managed to fail his college entry exams and now has to get by with some oddjobs. Not many people can see past his rough exterior, but those who do will find a lifelong friend.

Uehasu Minarai
A high school girl. Always ready to play some sports, or buy some snacks at the local supermarket. Always happy and cheerful, she brightens up the day of everybody that meets her. Can usually be seen around the local city park with her friends.

Yamamii
This odd street musician always marches to the beat of his own drum. He recently arrived in town, to follow his dream: making good music, and open the hearts of his listeners. However... he seems to have some troubles connecting with the people of this city.

Rurika Asatsuki
A cool beauty. Her aura practically secretes "High society", but her background is unknown. Currently she's visiting a relative in town, but everything - aside from her slightly goofy streak - is shrouded in mystery.

Tsuyuhito Tanaka
The team leader and "senpai" of Kureha and Puka. Egocentrical and abusive. Do not engage!

Alize
The totes kewl trendy gal from the local supermarket. Besides her weird speech pattern she dreams of leaving this small town to be something great. However, she is surprisngly smart, as is evident by her job as local branch manager at the Kazoku Mart.
