Hey Panda Peeps! Look who's back! Wait - where'd she go? Oh! There she is! It's Shibuki, the fleet-footed Ninja with a penchant for ropes and sharp things. If you missed her the first time, now's your chance to Unlock this totally-deadly beauty!

As always, we love you so hard! The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Did you know that the traditional five-year anniversary gift is wood? And the "modern" version... Is silverware! Yeah, neither of those options seemed very "Crush Crush" to us.... Or fun at all So we decided to go with something else.

So just take your pinup and enjoy it! And remember, we love you so hard! The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! We've all heard those tales of doggos getting lost or left behind and travelling miles and miles to find their hoomans, right? On that note, Tessa is back! Yay! This is more exciting than when that truck carrying all the squeaky toys and hot dogs crashed. Or was that just a happy dream? Anyway, log in daily to collect your event tokens and unlock this loyal girl while you can! Shes soft, cuddly, loves giving kisses, AND she's flexible enough to lick her own Erm, maybe well just leave that part to the imagination. Enjoy, and remember We love you so hard! The Pandas

How's it hangin', Panda Peeps? You down for a little nostalgia? Because the flyest, phattest, raddest retro girl around is back for another Phone Fling! Only something's a little different this time. You know how all those old sitcoms keep getting rebooted and revived? This is kind of like that! It's a whole new decade for Honey, and you've got a lot of catching up to do. So everyone else can talk to the hand, cuz your face ain't gonna be listening! (Rimshot. Audience laughs). We hope you enjoy your blast from the past, and everything Honey (still) has to offer! Check out the new convo in your Phone Flings now, and remember We love you so hard! -- The Pandas P.S.

Hey Panda Peeps! Congratulations to Sawyer on doing the thing with the points and winning the Crush Crush Vote-a-Fling! She really smashed the competition this time, and we're super stoked about her promotion. In fact, we're donning our sneakers and volleyball short-shorts as we speak! (It's kind of like a method acting thing, but for transforming Phone Fling girls into fully-dateable characters.) As for the other gals, everyone played their best and gave it 110%. At the end of the day, you just gotta take it one game at a time. Play to win, but remember it's a marathon, not a sprint. Keep your eye on the ball and don't throw in the towel. A win is just a win, but you never know when your waifu will hit it right out of the park. Yay sportsball! Anyway, we're gonna get the ball rolling on Sawyer, so keep an eye out for updates, including when she'll be ready to get her head in the game! And thank you so much to everyone who participated in this event. We love you so hard! The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Ahh, Black Friday. We've all seen the viral videos. The chaos, the outcry, the utter pandemonium. But in our store, there's no need to wait in line! You won't catch any elbows, and we're pretty sure no one's ever found themselves in a tug-o-war over the last anything. Also, the deals are for reals.

DLC girl bundles, special character bundles, limited-time bundles - literally, just all the bundles. Thats huge savings on girls and other goodies, and you don't even have to leave your house! Or get dressed. Seriously, its the best. So shop in your jammies! Shop while you snack! Shop while you can, because Black Friday only lasts a week. But most importantly - have fun and stay safe! Love you so hard! The Pandas

Hey Panda Pals. It's ya girl Pamu! I was just daydreaming about my next great troll when I thought to myself, you know what would be really freakin' hilarious? If Crush Crush got nominated for a Steam award! LOL! Can you imagine the look on the devs' faces? They pour soooo much love into this thing, it's actually kinda whack. Make it happen, fam. You know you waaaannnnaa. Come on. Do it for Bearverly. -Pamu the "Panda"

Hey Panda Peeps! It's Vote-a-Fling time! So which Phone Fling gal will win this round and become the next fully-dateable character? You decide! For one week only, completed Phone Fling conversations will feature a fancy "Vote" button at the bottom of the chat. You get 1 free vote automatically, with the option of purchasing up to 4 extras! Spread your votes around if you like, or pile them all onto your absolute favorite. The girl who gets the most votes wins! (Obviously, you wont be able to vote for girls whove have already been promoted, because theyve already been promoted. #unnecessarydisclaimer) Theres tons of girls to choose from, so whos it going to be? This Vote-a-Fling runs from November 23rd to November 30th, and we'll be announcing the eagerly-awaited results on December 1st! Love you so hard, The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Are you someone who enjoys a little extra sugar in your cuppa Joe? If so, this weeks phone fling has you covered! Lotus, with her dark-roast wit and java-dropping good looks, has been thinking about you. You've been such a great friend to her - so kind, encouraging, and funny - but its also more than that. She's starting to realize She likes you. She likes you a latte. We think this chats gonna really hit the spot. Its the final installment of Lotuss phone fling, so make sure you savor every sip! Oh, and dont forget - caffeine is almost as addictive as pretty girls, so afterwards, keep an eye out for strong cravings and withdrawal symptoms. You might just need more Lotus in your life. We love you so hard! The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Pumped for Part 2 of our most caffeinated Phone Fling? It's a night on the town for Lotus, and one that's sure to be wild. Think clinking glasses, kicked-up heels, and inappropriately-shaped drinking straws - that's right, it's a bachelorette party! Lotus is ready to let loose, and because there are certain perks to a friendship like yours, it's safe to say she'll let you in on the fun. We all need a little escape from the daily grind here and there! So have a blast chatting with Lotus - we hope you find the convo stimulating - and tell us what you think! Words cannot espresso how much we appreciate it. Love you so hard! The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Just a quick reminder that some of you might be changing your clocks this weekend! That means that depending on where you live you might find the Limited Time Event switches over at a different time than you are used to. That's because our LTE uses a time zone that isn't affected by Daylight Saving Time! Hope you're enjoying the Lustat event that's going on :) Happy Halloween~ - the Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! We're swooping in to make a dramatic announcement - there's a new character in the Crush Crush universe! Allow us to introduce Lustat. This stunning, ageless vampire chick is sure to get your blood pumping, and probably not from fright! She's hot as Satan's favorite soup and irresistibly charming, with the quirky kind of wit we can only assume one develops after living for hundreds of years. This is a Limited Time Event, so don't delay! She might have all the time in the world, but you don't. Log in daily and collect those tokens, 'cause missing out would really suck! And not in the good way, like Lustat does... On that note, watch your neck - because she certainly will be! We hope you enjoy Lustat, and as always, we love to hear what you think. Love you so hard. -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Autumn is awesome. We love scarecrows, spooky gourds, golden trees, and festive brews. So in honor of all that, we're having a Sale! From October 26 to November 2, you can get up to 30% off Diamond bundles in the Store - the more you buy, the more you save! Also - the Monster girl bundles have returned for a short time. But wait, that's not all! We've also brought back a special seasonal goody for those of you who missed it: Nina's amazing Oktoberfest outfit! This outfit comes free with the purchase of any Diamond bundle, and like all outfits, is wearable at Lover level. This offer only lasts a week, so don't delay! Treat yourself to some Diamonds and dress-up this season. Love you so hard! The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Coming at you with a new Phone Fling, this time featuring Lotus! And it has nothing to do with her job at the Queen Bean. So get ready to swap your "flirty coffee shop banter" for something stronger, because the caffeine princess needs a little help from a friend. In a nutshell, Lotus is looking for moral support to help her survive a truly horrifying ordeal (i.e. watching a scary movie alone), and you're the perfect candidate to offer comfort and distraction. Oh, and guess what! This is just Part 1 of a longer Phone Fling with Lotus, so keep your eyes peeled for more - we think you'll like where this budding friendship is heading. What are you waiting for? Head on over to your Phone Flings and enjoy this heart-pounding chat with Lotus! Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

September is here, and that means its time for school. Yay! So celebrate by buying stuff! For a limited time, all Diamond Bundles are 15% off, and come with Quills rare Back To School outfit! And in case that wasnt enough - Darya and Cataras character bundles are also 20% off, in case you need a study buddy. Or a buddy TO study. Were on board all those ideas. So check out the sale - it runs now until September 28th! Unlike school, its not going to be around for a super long time. So dont miss out. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! September is almost over, and we thought it would be a great idea to get started on spooky October shenanigans by bringing back one of our most sinister (and sensual) LTE girls - Vellatrix! Just who is Vellatrix? Shes the Headmistress of the infamous wizarding school Snogwarts. Shes a wild mix of danger and deliciousness, so dont be a boggart and miss out. We hope you enjoy the return of Vellatrix! Let us know what you think. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Recently, theres been some scandalous rumors going around that us Pandas have certain Phone Flings gals that are obviously our favorites. Not true! We love all our Phone Fling gals equally, and just because a character like Sawyer or Lake might get a few extra doesnt mean we like them more. In other news - weve got a new Phone Fling for ya! And it stars both Sawyer AND Lake! :D Kidding aside - as some of you know, Lake and Soy happen to be good friends in the CC Universe, so it was inevitable theyd pull you into their group shenanigans. We just recently finished a little Phone Fling arc with Lake, so we hope youre not Laked-out yet (or think were sending you hints.) In any case - this Phone Fling was a lot of fun to write / draw, and we hope you enjoy it. Look for it under Soys messages - and let us know what you think! Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps. Were keeping our voices down, because we have a very fun but very shy DLC update for you today. A special new girl with a little twist - we hope you like her. Suzu is here. Shes a shy forest spirit - a Kitsune (fox spirit) that brings good luck and joy wherever she goes. The only downside is Shes shy. Which is not the best trait to have when youre also maybe sort-of a guardian of various natural and spiritual places of harmony. Suzus DLC bundle comes with a few extra goodies, including her outfits and a new Tree Planting Job - which is both a great way to earn a living and do some good in the world of Crush Crush. And the Job scales especially well for end-game players, so we think youll like it. And something we're experimenting with - an animated pose! Once you get her to Lover, all her outfits should unlock including an animated version of her main pose. So check out Suzu, and consider unlocking her. Her DLC is $4 USD, and weve put in extra love and care into her that we think youll enjoy. As Suzu would say - Arigatou Gozaimasu! (Though then she would eep! and hide.) Let us know what you think! You're awesome! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Weve got another Phone Fling for you all today - part 3 of Lakes little art challenge. Our lovely Artist has been feeling energized by your suggestions for her art, and this last episode is a nice combination of heartfelt friendship and surprisingly scandalous classical artwork. In other words - its a Lake Phone Fling. We hope you've enjoyed this little tte--tte with Lake, as much as weve enjoyed creating it for you. If you liked it, or have neat ideas for other Phone Flings, make sure to let us know. And if youd like to hear more from Lake in particular, you know what to do. (Hint: tell us!) Please enjoy episode 3 of the Lake Art Challenge. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Hope youre all having a smexy August, no matter where you are. So weve got a bit of a change of pace this time that we think many of you will find pretty rice. Its Odango! Our adorable rice cooking robot is back, returning to the Limited Time Event reward for Panda Peeps who missed out on her last time, or who havent gotten the chance to unlock her yet. Odango is one of our first returning characters to the LTE, so let us know what you think. We hope youre excited to see her, and stay tuned for more news coming up. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! We hope your summer is going well - nice and hot (if thats the way your hemisphere rolls). Were doing out best to chill over here, and we decided, You know whats pretty chill? A diamond sale. So thats what were doing! To celebrate the back half of summer, were having a little diamond sale. All bundles are 10% off, and were throwing in a special outfit for Mio - her unique Watchful bathing suit, which is something every gamer girl who enjoys themed swimsuits can appreciate. The sale runs from August 13 -18, so dont miss your chance to stock up on ice. Get it? Like diamonds? Ice? Niiiiiiiice. Take care, and have fun! Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Ready for another edition of The Joy Of Lake? Another foray into the world of Fine Art and inspiration, along with intriguing questions like, How is her hair so blue? And, Seriously, its so blue, I want to touch iiiiiiit Lake is here, and she would love your help with another project. The last collaboration went really well, and shes ready for something more challenging and perhaps risqu? Just jump into your Phone Flings, and check out Part 2 of Lakes conversation on the Getty Museum-inspired Art Challenge. And as a gentle reminder for our mature players - the 18+ DLC version of these pictures are a little more authentic to their source material. Just saying. As always, let us know what you think! Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

In the darkness, a voice calls out Filled with pain, confusion, anguish A life cut short A love left unrequited And now A H A N D R E A C H E S F R O M T H E G R A V E. . . Luckily, this is Crush Crush. And to be frank, deaths got nothing on your charming self. Your love transforms, restores, and saves the universe. What can death do but step aside and let love win?

Hey Panda Peeps! As you well know, nothing says fun in the sun like a spooky Halloween-themed sale. Shh. Trust us. We know what were talking about here. Summerween is the theme of our latest sale, because we want to celebrate a certain macabre mistress coming back to the store. Charlotte is back! And actually - this time shes here to stay. Weve heard from a bunch of fans how theyd like more options to access some of our limited time ladies, so this is a step in that direction. And you know, why not celebrate with some bonuses on diamonds? Charlotte is now in the store to stay - and for a limited time - Diamond bundles have tons of bonus diamonds - up to 55%+ more than usual. Holy moly thats spooky! Right? Right! ALSO - our Crush Crush DLC is on sale -30% off as well. Which DLC? The only one we have, of course. Please note that its 18+ though. Thats an important detail. So treat yourself to some frightful flirting, unlock Charlotte, and maybe grab some bling for the road. Do it! Missing this opportunity would be the scariest choice of all Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Got a fun treat today - a new Phone Fling inspired by recent events. Whats that you say? Most recent events kind of suck and maybe shouldnt inspire fun and flirty conversations? Why yes, we agree! Specifically, were talking about the Getty Museum Challenge - have you heard of it? Its a fun art challenge people have been doing to re-create famous artworks with household objects, pets, anything you can get your hands on. We really liked this idea, and decided to feature it with Crush Crushs resident Fine Artist (and we do mean FINE artist). Lake is back, and she needs a little inspiration from you to help her with her art. Its fun and silly and we hope you like it. This Phone Fling is a little different, in that well be releasing it in three parts over a slightly longer period of time. Why are we doing that? Were trying stuff! We hope you enjoy your chat with Lake, and as always let us know what you think. Maybe in a poem, or other artistic way. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda fans! We've been receiving a lot of feedback asking when you'll get another chance to unlock certain girls or rewards in the Limited Time Events (LTE). So this post is all about that! So now that there are lots of characters, outfits and pinups for the LTEs, we're actually going to start bringing them back very soon. Heres a look at what were planning to roll out with in upcoming Limited Time Events (some dates and rewards might change - this is our tentative schedule).

Hey Panda Peeps. The day has arrived. Our excitement is palpable. Without further ado, we present Ruri. The deadpan hacker with the cute hoodie. How do you unlock her? The requirements are simple. Today were launching a new Phone Fling conversation, which is full of flirty techno-hacker shenanigans. Youll need to complete this new convo. Next week well be launching a new Limited Time Event, that will allow you to unlock Ruri for free. Grab all the Tokens (or as many as you can). Remember - even if you miss a couple, her diamond cost will stay discounted after the event for a short while. Do both of these things, and she will be added to your list. Then the fun begins. Oh rapture. Onto other matters. Attention: all of the LTE girl bundles currently available in the Store are going back into the sexy vault. (Just to clarify, that's: Claudia / Tessa / Roxxy / Vellatrix / Sirina / Shibuki / Odango / Monster Girls). That means youll need to wait for another chance to get them. From the time of this post, you have 48 hours to acquire them before you miss your chance. That is all. Ruri is everything. Love you so hard. -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps, So, weve got a nifty surprise for you today, and also a big quality of life improvement too. First the nifty surprise - a new Phone CALL! Not a Phone Fling, a Phone Call. Its different. How is it different? Well, Phone Calls include vocal performances by one of our lovely Voice Actresses, and theyre all kinds of shiver-inducing fun! So far weve only done one, for Rene, and we got lots of positive feedback for it. So now its time for round two. This time, youll be getting a call from everyones favorite angsty sk8r grrl, Nova. Shes in a bit of a jam and could use a friend. So definitely dont ghost her. To unlock it, youll need to finish Novas first Phone Fling, and then make sure your own Angst skill is at level 40. Get on that - and enjoy your chat with Nova. ~~~~~~ In other news, weve got a big improvement that LOTS of people have been asking for - improved LTE Token discounts! What does that mean? Well, you know how the Limited Time Event rewards can be purchased for less diamonds the more Tokens you collect? Well, lots of people were asking (very politely, mind you, not a single pitchfork in sight) that after the event is over, they should still be able to buy the reward unlock for the discount they had earned. Basically, the option should remember how many Tokens you collected. Well it does that now! If you earn a bunch of Tokens during an event, youll be able to buy the character/pinup/outfits (for a limited time) for the discounted price you earned in the LTE popup. Thanks for your patience for this feature - weve been hard at work on a ton of content, and since we wrapped up a few big technical things elsewhere, we were able to jump on this quality of life improvement. We really hope you enjoy it and your call, and make sure to let us know what you think! Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Todays news is Mega-Sized, for guaranteed satisfaction! Grab a hold of something and get ready for a dummy THICC challenge, because Wendy is almost here! Wendy was one of our lucky winners in the last Phone Fling Vote, and now she's almost ready to make the leap to being a fully date-able character! Hooray! BUT - first things first! Unlocking Wendy is going to take a few steps, so read carefully. FIRST - As of today, we've just added a new (short) Phone Fling for Wendy. You'll need to have all of her Phone Fling conversations finished to unlock her as a full girl. If you're having trouble unlocking all of Wendy's Phone Fling messages, note that you need Iro at "Sweetheart" level. SECOND - Next week (starting midnight UTC time on May 6), you'll need to go to the Limited Time Event pop-up, and start collecting all of Wendy's tokens. You need to log in once a day to get each one, or grab some diamonds and short-cut your way to victory. Do both those things, and Wendy will be added to your Girl list. Huzzah! If you miss the event, you're not out of luck, but youll need diamonds to unlock her. Diamonds can be earned by completing relationship levels, grabbing the daily rewards, or buying some from the store. So dont miss this special chance - she even comes with whipped cream. What are you even doing still reading this? Wendy is a load of fun, and waiting for your (chicken) tender embrace. So get in there, unlock her, and show her youre ready for the whole buffet. Food jokes are awesome! Enjoy, and as always- let us know what you think. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! You know, theres just something super attractive about saving money. You see a sticker that says 10% off, and that gets you thinking about the 10% youd like to take off, and Well you get the idea. On that note - its time for a sale! Diamond bundles are 10% off this week, April 28 - May 5! And with any diamond purchase youll get a free exclusive outfit for Nutaku-chan, Crush Crushs most scandalous gal (which is, to be blunt, a huge damn deal. Look at her competition! How does she do it!) For those of you with access to the more risqu DLC, this special exclusive outfit is context sensitive. Which means if your game is set to 18+, so is Nutaku-chan. Thats just how she rolls. So dont miss your chance! Buy diamonds, save money, and enjoy other paradoxes! Sale ends May 5! Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Okay, so this is cool. A bit spoiler-y. If you dont know much about the ending of Crush Crush, maybe just skip this news post and discover what weve added later. This weeks Phone Fling stars a very special, very important character. And, unlike most other Flings, it actually continues the story a bit from a previous Phone Fling. Neato! Over the years, weve been growing the Crush Crush universe sort of organically. Adding story lines that overlap, a bit of a quest we thought would be fun, a bit of mythology. And now, all of that work is starting to add up - the mythology of Crush Crush will begin to matter in ways we never imagined in the beginning. Itll start to affect other games were working on and imagining. And some of that begins here. This weeks Phone Fling stars QPernikiss. If that name doesnt mean anything to you, its because shes literally the last character in the game. The most difficult to unlock. The most difficult to complete. And depending how far youve made it into her story, the fact she is messaging you might come as a SIGNIFICANT surprise. Enjoy. Let us know what you think. Never give up on love. Love you all so hard. -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! We got something a little different for you today. Its different in that, depending on how far you are in the game, you may not see this little surprise for a while. But dont worry - itll be worth the wait. Todays latest Phone Fling features a gal by the name of The Dark One. If that doesnt mean anything to you yet, well then Keep playing. If you DO know who that is though, you might be a little Shall we say surprised to be hearing from her? What with the way things worked out between the two of you. This is a little experiment to try adding a little denouement to one of the characters already in the story. We hope you enjoy it. It just so happens we have a thing for moody goth girls with large personalities. So were excited. In case youre still confused - The Dark One is one of the games later characters. And her Phone Fling unlocks once you finish her story. So get in there and do it! (And we hope you enjoy the journey). Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Weve got a very special new addition to the cast today. If youre the type that likes princesses (and, come on, we all do), then dont miss your chance to unlock the fair Princess Juliet. But be forewarned - Juliet is not for the faint of heart. Fools and plebs will find her manner most severe. But if you can prove yourself, WELL Lets just say shes sure to become your Queen of Hearts. Get to the Event screen, and get those tokens rolling. Dont find out too late that your princess is in another castle. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! So you may have noticed on the news that theres some stuff going on in the real world thats kind of concerning. So much so, that maybe youre staying home now and generally getting your social fix from our lovely waifus. Well, to help ease your heart during this troubling time, weve got a very special Phone Fling for you today from Doctor Fumi. Its a little shorter than your usual Phone Flings, but shes got a positive message and some helpful tips for this challenging time. Give her a chat! And just so were MEGA clear on this - Doctor Fumi is not what you would call a real doctor. Please take this Phone Fling as the entertainment that its intended as. It does not constitute actual medical advice. So that being said - enjoy! And stay healthy and happy. We hope Doctor Fumi will bring you a smile. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Or should we say, 'Allo Bonjour Pandas! Weve got a new Phone Fling all cooked up and ready to serve! But like a fine French souffl, this one should be savored. Grab yourself some grape juice, kick back, and meet Francine. Francine may seem like an ordinary French girl. But anyone who has ever dated a French girl knows - none of them are ever ordinary. The closest they come is in the word extraordinary. And Francine is no exception. We hope you enjoy Francines story. As always, let us know what you think and what youd like to see in future Phone Flings. Love you all so hard! Au revoir! ~ The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps - its story time! Approximately a thousand years ago, when the internet was young, and the pursuit of waifus not yet so mainstream - there was a game that came out that rocked some socks. It was an RPG with a spiky haired protagonist back in the days where that wasnt nearly so common. Well, the creators of Crush Crush played that game. And we fell in love with the waifus. And we had our own head-canons for what it might be like if certain characters got together and had themselves their own little final fantasy, if you catch our drift. Anyway - completely unrelated - heres Claudia! Claudia is a tough, bad ass gal who could save the world and look bored doing it. Shes a bit angsty. Shes a bit gutsy. And shes more than a bit busty. She may or may not be the child of a certain head-canon. Or she may or may not be just a fun gender-bend of another character. Who knows? Were not experts. But shes definitely satirical, and falls within the bounds of fair use. So unlock Claudia, help her on her quest, and do what we always wanted to do in the days of yore Take her out for dinner. Giveer a smooch. Good times! We hope you enjoy unlocking Claudia. Dont miss your chance! This LTE runs Jan 22 - Feb 4. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! So the second great Phone Fling vote is over, and we can finally announce the winner! After thousands and thousands of votes, the lucky girl thats getting the full character treatment is Actually three girls! WHOA! What a twist! This vote was a nail biter behind the scenes. The scores kept taking surprising turns, and the girls that got an early lead didnt all hold that lead over the course of the event. The vote was SO close in fact that we decided to surprise everyone and to award the title to the top 3 winners - Wendy, Ruri and Generica! Our team is now going to get to work transforming these gals into fully dateable characters, complete with voice actresses, dress up options, and (should you have access) our patented saucy scenes. And just to be clear - were not going to do this top 3 business every time. Were making a special exception here. Since stuff like voice casting can be a bit unpredictable, we wont know for sure when the girls are coming. But rest assured they are! Well be announcing each of them as we get ready to launch them, so keep an eye out for them at a future date. And to all of those who voted, whose waifus did not win, stay strong. OjiPanda feels your pain (he has a major crush on Soy and Rene, the 4th and 5th runners up). There will be more chances soon! Dont lose hope! Thank you for participating, let us know any thoughts or suggestions for future votes, and get ready for juicy, spooky, and computer hacky updates soon-ish. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Polish up that voting finger and get ready to democracy, because its time for another Phone Fling Voting poll! In case this is your first time democracy-ing, heres whats going on: every so often, we do a poll to see which gal the community would like to see upgraded to full character / date-able status. Its easy! Once you finish a Phone Fling conversation, you'll be given the option to vote for that girl to be promoted. Everyone gets 1 free vote. And, if you're really serious, you can buy a few extra votes with diamonds. (Up to 4 extra votes, just as a way to show your enthusiasm for your favorite waifus.) If you choose to get the extra votes, you can spread them around to all your favorite ladies. Or just make them rain on one girl in particular. It's your call! Last time we did a poll, we got a TON of suggestions from the community on ways to make it better. Players were worried that waifus that are new or more difficult to unlock had the odds stacked against them. While others really didnt like you could see the running total of votes, because it created weird popularity contests and divided waifu-lovers everywhere. So were definitely tweaking how things are done, but were going to tweak things one at a time. This time the vote tally wont be revealed until the end of the poll. Its a secret to everyone, so anticipation will be high. Were considering a few other major and minor tweaks as well, but well be introducing them in subsequent polls. So get out there, earn some diamonds, vote for your waifus and wait to see if the Phone Fling of your dreams makes to the big leagues. And by big leagues, I mean into your digital embrace. (Aww.) Youve got two weeks to vote! The poll runs Jan 6 - 19. Winner / results announced Jan 20. Do it! Love you all so hard!

Hey Panda Peeps! Weve got a special little surprise for you today - a new Phone Fling that we think will put a smile on your face, a skip in your step, and give you those warm fuzzy feelings normally associated with dopamine. And romance! Rene is waiting to chat. Though youll need to complete a bunch of Bearverlys levels (6 to be exact) in order to unlock her (for reasons that will, eventually, become evident.) We hope you enjoy chatting with Renee! Let us know if you wind up fancying her and would like to hear more. That kind of feedback helps us immensely in choosing what we work on next. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Okay - so I know that some of you arent going to put Bearverly in your Top 10 Waifu lists. Maybe you feel a little odd about Catara. I mean, not everyone can be a cat person. For some people, the whole magical / adorable anime girl connected loosely to an animal trope may be a little. Odd. To you. So on that note - heeeeeeeeres Tessa!!! Tessa is a good girl who enjoys long walks on the beach, long walks in the park, long walks on a short pier. She is a massive walk fan. You walking somewhere, and she is THERE. Shes here to make you laugh and smile and go, It would be really funny if I could understand my dog. Also - awkward. Because dogs do things that would make a lot of people blush and fidget. We hope you love her. Because she already loves you. And she is so READY to protect you from bears and squirrels and neighbors walking a little too close to your driveway. Shes everything you dream she is, and more. Dont miss your chance to unlock her and begin to flirt with the idea of explaining her to your significant others. Youre awesome, and we love you so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Weve got an extra sweet surprise for you today - a new Phone Fling which not only will brighten your day, but also expand the Crush Crush Universe in bold and shocking ways. :O Ms. Babybelle would love to chat! And you might recognize her when you see her face. She looks just like her sister Enjoy! And as always, let us know what you think of Babybelle, and any ideas you have for future Phone Flings. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Say hello to Blanche - by far our most requested professional career gal. Shes a nurse, and shes got important health info that you need to read. Just a slight warning - Blanche keeps it real.

Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Best of luck, have fun, and don't lose your rhythm! Love you so hard, The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Do you have an empty feeling inside? No, not loneliness. Im talking about hunger! (Although, if its loneliness, this might help a bit too!) When you log in today, you might notice a new text message. And (spoiler warning) its from your favorite foodie fetishist - Wendy! Girl needs some lovin', and maybe some poutine? Youll figure it out. Weve heard from a TON of you that you would be happy to hear back from your favorite Phone Fling baes, and this is the first experiment in that direction. Are you happy to hear more from Wendy?

On a related note - you might notice that there's a new Phone Fling today! Only it's not "new" new. A certain someone has been thinking about you. (Assuming you've done a Phone Fling or two. If none of this sounds familiar, just hold onto your horses, flirt with some girls, and everything will make sense soon!)

Well, this is your chance to get more treats than tricks and scoop up these busty bundles. Happy Halloween! (Evil laugh). -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps, It's looking pretty spooky out there. Which must mean it's Halloween. Which also means it's time for a cornucopia of sexy costumes and cosplays! To celebrate this most wonderful time of the year, we have a special treat - courtesy of the world of witch-crafty and wizard-ness. In a special 7-days-only event, you can unlock Vellatrix! She's the Headmaster of a magical school known as Snogwarts. And she has many inappropriate uses of magic to teach you. After the event, Vellatrix will be available for a short time in the store, so no matter what, don't miss your chance to play in her Chamber of Secrets. Enjoy - and 10 points to Bread! Love you so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! It's that time again. Time to check for new messages, because someone is lighting up your phone! A new Phone Fling has hit the scene, but you're going to need an extra ounce of your Angst stat to unlock her. Without sufficient Angst you're liable to come off as a "poser", which is all kinds of trouble. So check your phones and let us know what you think of the new gal. You might just be the exact kind of "punk" she's looking for. ;) Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Happy Oktoberfest Panda Peeps! To celebrate this most auspicious of occasions, we've got some goodies for ya!

Prost! Wir lieben dich!

Hey Panda Peeps! October is here, which means the countdown to Halloween has begun. But before we shift gears to spooky highjinx, we've got some other sweet treats to share. First up - we're pleased to announce the winner of our first Phone Fling Full Character poll! It was a close race, but after the dust settled, Peanut took the top spot! Were now hard at work transforming her into a full date-able character. There's been a ton of feedback for this poll, and lots of suggestions for us to consider if we want to run another in the future. So stay tuned for THAT too, and special thanks to everyone who let us know their ideas and suggestions. Speaking of Phone Flings, there's a new one launching today that's sure to make things "sparkle". Her name is Willow, and if you've earned enough cash in the game to unlock the fiery Nina, Willow will be reaching out to you shortly. Have fun, and stay tuned for more cool stuff on the way! Love you so hard, -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! We've got something new and exciting in the store today - a new girl with an upgrade the likes of which you've never seen! Presenting - Catara! The lovely LightningCat superhero with a need for speed. Catara does everything fast. Everything. (Yes, even that thing that you're thinking of.) And if you purchase Catara's bundle, you'll not only get the pleasure of her company, outfits and all, but a special new upgrade superpower we're calling "Speed Dating". Speed Dating allows you to finish any Gift or Date requirement instantly, if you've got the cash and Timeblocks to do it. It's a one-and-done type of deal. Just tap the lightning bolt on any Girl Requirements you see it on, and you'll complete that requirement without any extra menus, buttons, and carpal tunnel. Since this upgrade is so powerful (and a huge win for people who are deep into the game) Catara will be permanently on sale in the Store from now until the heat death of the universe, or thereabouts. Her bundle is $5 - which is how much super powers cost in real life, probably? So imagine just how incredible your life would be with the power of Speed Dating - and then make it happen! The power wasn't in you all along this time. But it's roughly the price of a fancy coffee, and will put about the same pep in your step. Just do it! Gotta go fast! Other memes! And give Catara a smooch from us. Love you all so hard! --

And - assuming your phone game is up to snuff - you can earn some cute selfies (and some smexy exclusive pinups). The idea is that youll be able to unlock new characters, and get to interact with them in a way that you dont currently get to experience with the main cast. The Phone Flings girls will take breaks in their conversations that youll need to wait to advance, or use a few diamonds to speed up (or use a Time Skip for). Just in case youre a little impatient and you want to see the ghost girls cleavage sooner. ;) Speaking of cleavage - there are different images and conversation options with the NSFW DLC bundle. Just putting that out there. You know Like a ghost girls cleavage. We hope you enjoy it! Take a look, and please please please let us know what you think - good or bad. If you have ideas on how to improve this idea, or for future girls you might want to see, please post in the forums. Chat more later. Ciao! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Fans! Have you ever wondered what Crush Crush would be like if all the attractive anime girls were attractive anime boys? I mean, we have. Pretty much every day. (Some of us Pandas have special feelings toward guys. Its a real thing!) Well, wonder no more! Were proud to announce the launch of a charming little spin-off of Crush Crush called Blush Blush"! You can play it now on Steam Early Access. LINK Such convenience! And if dreamy boys arent your thing, tell a friend! Or your employer, perhaps? Anybody, really. Thank you. We now return you to your regularly scheduled anime ladies. Cheers! -- Sad Pandas

JUMP SCARE! Heads up Panda Peeps - theres a new gal in town, and shes one spooky seductress! Her name is Charlotte Thorne, and shes polite, poised, and probably poisonous. Charlotte is now available in the store (for real moneys!), but with her were trying something a little different. Charlotte will only be available for a limited time! How long you ask? Were not 100% sure. Weve been working behind the scenes on a bunch of new ladies, and were changing up how you unlock them. Some gals will be available for purchase, some will be added to the Event rewards, maybe even a scavenger hunt or two, and finally some will be added Well, that last one is a surprise. But SOME gals are going to be featured in the Store, and theyll come with special bonuses like extra diamonds, new Jobs, or maybe even a game-enhancing super power or two. (And side note: Panda reserves the right to bring back these gals unexpectedly, because people get really salty if they miss their chance on this stuff, BUT NO PROMISES!) So dont miss your chance to unlock our sweet spooky princess, who is fully voiced, comes with a bunch of outfits, and is fully compatible with our saucy DLC patches. Love you all so hard, -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Its romance month! Time to buy your favorite waifu that special donut, puppy, or 10,000 magic candles they always wanted. Our diamond bundles have been reduced 20% for a limited time. Go! Go! GO! Sorry, that was aggressive...but you cant make diamonds without a lil pressure. And making you diamonds is what were all about. ;) We hope you're having a fantastic February, and keep checking back because were planning some big surprises soon. Like actually big. Its going to be nuts. Love you so hard, -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Got a lil something for you today. A special scavenger hunt in honor of that most auspicious religious ceremony - just how awesome cake is! Actually, there are a few birthdays buzzing around wed like to shout out. Crush Crush is turning three in February, and that also means Artist Panda (and Programmer Panda!) will be doing the birthday thing soon. Meowza! So join the Quest For Cake! Theres a bunch of cakes hidden in the game (all at once!), and if you find them all Bonnibel will make sure you get your favorite flavor. And if you happen to have the 18+ DLC installed, youll find out a fun fact about Nutaku-chan: her favorite flavor is Bonnibel! The event starts January 24 and ends on the 31st! Go have your cake and eat it too! Love you so hard, ~The Pandas

Its time for a little holiday hijinks! Weve got a scavenger hunt for you thatll have you looking everywhere for balls - snowballs of course! Every day, a sneaky snowball will be hidden somewhere in the game. And you only have 24 hours to find it. If you miss a snowball, you can trade 5 diamonds for it - no questions asked. Or, if youre the baller-type, you can just buy all of the snowballs at once because who are we to stop you! The event starts December 14 and ends on Christmas! Go! Deck those balls! ~Sad Panda

Hey Panda Peeps! Got a nifty surprise today - more Monster Girls!

And if you happen to already have the outfits for Bonnibel and Iro from last year, youll get these beauties for free! What?!

Collect all 12 for the exclusive Halloween Pin-up. Its a scream! Hahaha! Puns are funny! -- The Pandas

Well Panda Peeps, it happened. The planets have aligned, the swine have taken flight, and the nether realm has frozen. (Also, Shining Song Starnova jumped into the pool first, so now we’re jumping too!) It is our pleasure to announce that we’ve finally launched an official 18+ smexy DLC bundle for Crush Crush! We’re here to drop the deets on you, so buckle up. Steam has changed its policy on adult content. This is fabulous news, because we just so happen to enjoy making that kind of content. And now we don’t need to sell it under a bridge while wearing a dirty trench coat. You can now purchase the “Moist and Uncensored” DLC bundle, which gives you an in-game toggle to enable the mode (located in the Settings under the “More” tab). This mode has a few fun effects:

• Changes the “ending” you get for reaching Lover level with all the girls.
• Less “Bikini Pin-up” more “Coitus”.
• Adds a bunch of “sexy” outfits to many of the girls, including lingerie and “birthday suit”.
• Adds new 18+ dialogue and audio.

Hey Panda Peeps! We’ve got something random and (we hope) kind of cool to ask you guys about today. Specifically about a Kickstarter that might get a dash of Panda with some support. Here’s the dealio: Love Esquire is a Dating Sim / RPG / Visual Novel that looks like it could have come right out of a Panda Playbook. It’s shiny and sexy, and the game even features our very own and wonderful Melody Muze, who voiced Elle and human-form Bearverly in Crush Crush! They just launched a Kickstarter, so we sent them our well wishes and support. Which led to the kind and lovely people over at Yangyang reaching back to us to chat. To cut to the chase - we mentioned that it might be cool to have a Crush Crush girl cameo in Love Esquire, and the Yangyang folks were all over that idea. So they gave us this link: HERE said if our Panda Peeps come through with $3,000 of support *through that link*, they’d add a Crush Crush cameo to Love Esquire. Now we want to be super clear: Sad Panda isn’t making Love Esquire. We can’t speak to what the final product will be, or how large the Crush Crush cameo would be. But if this goal is hit, we’ll definitely work closely with Yangyang to ensure Pamu is pure and highly concentrated. Ready to spit fire and inappropriate meta jokes in someone else’s game. So check out the Love Esquire Kickstarter, search your feelings, and throw some support their way if the moment takes you! Lots of love, The Pandas P.S. A short follow-up message from Pamu herself: “Listen up Kick-Dickers, or whatever you’re called! This is win / win! You get to spend money on me, and *I* get to mack on the Love Esquire biatches. So don’t be such a Pamu! Just throw your wallet at the screen, lie back and think of England. Oh! And don’t forget to leave a “Moist” comment in the Love Esquire comment section! #PamuSellsOutAgain!”

Hey Panda Peeps! We’ve got a very special addition today that we’re excited to announce - a new DLC character! Her name is Darya, and she’s sort of like a huge diamond bonus with a pretty smile! Here’s how she works: her character is “Diamond” themed. That means whenever you complete her levels, she rewards a TON of diamonds. WAY more than the other girls. Some of her requirements involve gilding jobs and hobbies, but her level up rewards are worth much more diamonds than she what costs. So by the time you’re finished you’ll have a fully gilded game with a few hundred extra diamonds left over. Basically you spend $15 USD, and get over $40 worth of diamonds and new content. By Grabthar’s Hammer! What a Savings! For those not interested, Darya's achievements are only added to the game if you purchase the DLC, so no worries if you don't decide to pick it up. You won’t suddenly have a hole in your achievements list. Darya is fully voiced, comes with all her outfits, and is fully compatible with our 18+ NSFW/Panda Pass DLC. If Darya is a success, (fingers crossed!) we’ll be in a much better position to consider other content or characters and platforms moving forward. Thanks for everything. We hope you consider supporting Crush Crush with her DLC, and we really hope you like minerals! ~Sad Panda -------------------- FOLLOW-UP POST: Hey Panda Peeps! We’ve gotten a whole bunch of emails relating to Darya - and we’re glad to hear that she already has some hardcore fans! But we’re also seeing some messages from confused Peeps who are wondering why their Panda Pass DLC isn’t giving them access to Darya. Which is a big oops on our part. So please let us clarify - the Panda Pass and the Darya DLC are separate things. The Panda Pass is like a season pass that gives players access to all NSFW content in all Sad Panda games (that have NSFW content). That means one purchase, and you have access to the “saucy” versions of our games. The Darya DLC is a character bundle featuring a new character for Crush Crush who rewards the players LOTS of diamonds for completing her objectives. She rewards around $45 worth of diamonds for a $15 purchase - but you have to earn those diamonds! So the confusion is around whether the Panda Pass is supposed to grant access to Darya - which we didn’t mean to imply. Darya is her own separate purchase. We may have created some confusion when we said that the Panda Pass will unlock Darya’s NSFW content. She has saucy scenes that you can unlock with the Panda Pass - but we didn’t mean to confuse anyone and suggest that Darya’s whole character was unlocked by it. We’re reviewing the wording we’ve used to try and clear this up. And we’re REALLY sorry if this news is disappointing to some fans. We hope you’ll still continue supporting Crush Crush and other Panda projects. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Much love, -- The Pandas

Panda has been busy at work launching our new game Kitty Catsanova (currently beta testing on Kongregate but will be on Steam soon) and preparing a new girl in Crush Crush, as well as other cool stuff we aren’t ready to share just yet ;) First thing - we’re really excited to announce that starting tomorrow (May 1) we will be launching a Kickstarter for a new dating game! It will feature several of our Crush Crush girls in a new setting / storyline. It’s not so much a sequel as it’s a re-imagining. This visual novel will play a lot like Long Live the Queen, and explore darker and more mature themes - which we’re stoked about - while keeping up the same comedy/flirty tone you’d find in Crush Crush. Onto Crush Crush! In today’s update we’ve made some changes to the LTE (limited time events) system (which frankly are a bit overdue). Back when Crush Crush was our only focus, these would have reached you guys much sooner, so we’re super sorry we tested your patience with them! Here is a quick run-down on the latest changes:

• Event tokens now don’t have timers! They’re instantly rewarded (but you still have to click ‘Claim!’).
• Players will now have to earn every token for an event, but the cost for those tokens has gone down as well. A missed token won’t have as much of a heavy penalty.
• One of the Daily Tasks will always be a Diamond Reward (or sometimes a Time Block reward), but we will be increasing the time they take and Time Block consumption. Now players have access to a daily diamond grinder. This difficulty increase is partially to offset the much easier LTE rewards. (Let us know how these changes feel!)
• Diamond costs for insta-finishing Tasks has been substantially lowered as well.
• The next few rewards are for bikinis and then we’ll be bringing back last year’s “Summer Fling” Pin-up.

Hey Panda Peeps! Do you like the Moon? We sure do. All romantic and junk. And to celebrate the Lunar New Year, we're having a little diamond sale! Our diamond bundles have gotten a boost (up to 55% extra) so now's a great time to buy them! We hope you're having a fabulous February, and also that you keep checking back for more updates and surprises soon. Love you so hard, -- The Pandas

Crush Crush is proud to present the Noice Voice update! The game now has full voice over performances from an amazing cast - bringing your digital flirting to strange new worlds! Now whenever you chat, tickle, flirt or buy gifts for your baes, your imagination can take a breather trying to imagine what they sound like when they respond. Convenient! Download it! Listen to it! Love it! This Noice Voice content is Steam-exclusive right now, so get it while it’s hot.

Hey everyone! This is the build with voiced audio in! Wooo! It's very cool we can finally push this update to everyone, and on our Crush Crush birthday too ;)

• Voiced audio is now in! Yesss!!!
• The way the assets are loaded in the game has been completely changed
• It's still under active development
• There's a new process of storing the DLC so it might take a while to load the first time, but that's to be expected

• Fix bug that caused Generica's name to not change after meeting Ayano.
• Start trying to level out the audio for the voiceovers.
• Disable outfits from displaying in the gifts section for Dark One and QPernikiss.
• Fix several translation issues.
• Fix Futile achievement.
• Fix bug that caused Bonnibel to say the same thing when poking her with the DLC active.

• Using LZF compression to further shrink save files
• Only save when the user had made a modification instead of every x minutes/seconds
• Modifications to our backend service
• Updating to a more modern version of Unity (a huge undertaking)
• Continuing a revamp to the store section
• New games! Check sadpandastudios.com for more information!

Hey Panda Peeps! Just want sliiiiiide right up and drop some news your way. We’re doing some tinkering in the beta build, as you may or may not have noticed, and here’s all the juicy gossip on it. Recently we added all the voiced audio / dialogue, and we’re still working out the kinks (that’s actually an odd expression in this context). The audio will be released as soon as the idea is “sound”. (HAHAHA!) No, but seriously, it’s happening asap. Also - we changed the store! Yup, we’re doing some tinkering on the store’s layout, and soon we’ll be introducing some price changes and new items. Some prices might go up a bit, so steady yourself for that! :O More store changes soon. Very soon. Finally - there’s a new LTE (Limited Time Event) starting today. It features the lovely Bonnibel - by far our most romantic gal in time for a most romantic holiday. The pinup is just next level, for reals. Artist Panda smashed this one. Thanks for tuning in - watch this space for more info soon. Love you so hard, The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! We’re pretty stoked to announce that we’ve added a feature to Crush Crush that’s been in the works for some time: more languages! You can now play Crush Crush in: German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Portuguese! We’ve also got partial translations in for Chinese, French, Polish, and Russian. We’re still working on getting these languages wrapped up, and you might be able to help! (See below) A HUGE and deeply heartfelt thanks to our fans who volunteered and helped us with translations on Crowdin. Your hard work and sense of humor was utterly magnificent, and it cannot be overstated how much we appreciate working with such passionate panda peeps such as yourselves. And ON that note! If you‘d like to help us finish up some of those partial translations (and, you know, you speak those languages) email us at support@sadpandastudios.com and lend us your super sexy brains! Check the credits for the names of our lovely translators. And we hope you enjoy having Pamu say inappropriate things to you in whatever language you like best. Peace! -- The Sad Panda Team

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having an awesome month, and hopefully everyone is gearing up for a good 2018. We had a very busy end of December, and this release is the culmination of a lot of that work. New Features: - Support for the limited time event system going forward into 2018. Bug Fixes: - Lots of translation fixes (with localization enabled on the beta branch - check it out!). - Fixing up several null reference exceptions and other possible errors. - Try to be better about ensuring that previously completed events aren't wiped out by accident. - Much better logging of internal faults and errors. - Cleaned up a lot of the code that connects to our backend server for improved stability. Happy New Years! - Sad Panda Programmer

Hey Panda Peeps! Happy December! Looks like things are starting to cool down outside, so why don’t we cozy up to the fire with some festive fashions? This month, all of our Event rewards will be the ever desirable Holiday Outfits, so make sure not to miss your chance to scoop them up (we only offer them during the holidays!). If you happen to already own them, then keep an eye out for a slightly larger reward closer to the holidays! Also - for our Steam-y Pandas (shameless plug time!) if you like your dating sims a little spicier than average, don’t forget about our NSFW DLC passes on our website. They add gorgeous hi-res saucy pics and outfits to the game, and really helps us out! Check out deets on: sadpandastudios.com. Love you guys so hard! -- The Pandas P.S. We’ve got some stuff cooking in the background right now, but we’re not quite ready to share. Watch for more news in this space!

Now’s your chance to really stick it to us, buy some diamonds at massive savings, and show us who’s boss. You’re the boss! You and all those diamonds you bought! The Sale is for a super limited time though! It’s here until November 27, and then, alas, it will be over. Don’t miss your chance! Luv you so hard, -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Peeps! Halloween is almost here, and we’ve got a spooky surprise for you! Our next batch of event rewards will let you win some special, limited time Monster Girl re-skins for some of our ladies. OoooOOoooh! Kinky! I mean - creepy! We've also got an ultra short event reward coming at the end of this month. It's a special pinup featuring some smexy Halloween ladies, so pls pls pls don't forget to grab the event tokens for all those days. Remember you’ve got to jump on to start the timers, and jump on later to claim the rewards! Don’t miss out - or, you know, miss out and just buy them. Whatever, I’m not your life coach! Have a spooky scary skelet-eriffic Halloween season, and let us know what you think of the Monster Girls. We might have more plans for them in the future! Love you so hard! — The Pandas

During the “Don’t notice Me Senpai” event, players will need to prevent their favorite Yandere girlfriend from offing all her competition. For 16 days, whenever you take a girl out on a date, keep your eyes peeled for Ayano - cause she’s looking to peel some eyes! (With a knife!) Ayano will be changing up her target every few hours though, so you’ll need to be committed to catch her in time. Just click on her to “notice” her, and she’ll flee. Catch her from harming 16 Crush Crush girls, and win a prize! (A sexy prize!) Don’t miss it! Seriously, she’s armed! So get noticing, and make sure to check out Yandere Simulator, where you’ll finally get the chance to fulfill Ayano’s hopes and dreams… Get the chance to kill AS the girls of Crush Crush! Wow! What you’ve always wanted!

Hey Panda Peeps - happy (?) Friday the 13th! We’ve got an event launching today at 9pm (PST - ask Google) called the “Don’t Notice Me Senpai” event - starring everyone’s favorite sociopath Ayano! Come back every 24 hours to look for a wee chibi Ayano, who’s up to her usual shenanigans and mischief! (Murder). The reason for this event is that we’re celebrating a very special cameo - you can now turn into the girls from Crush Crush in Ayano’s infamous source game - Yandere Simulator! Check out this cool video from Yandere Dev himself: https://youtu.be/9yc1AzIx3iA?t=3m38s So keep an eye out for Ayano, check out Yandere Simulator, and maybe grab a sandwich or some chocolate milk or something. You know - because food. Love you so hard! -- The Pandas

It’s ON! October is here, and so is our 1 year Nutaku Anniversary Event! Happy birthday Nutaku Chan! The rules for this are easy - just click on the reward menu, select an activity to do, and press go! It’ll lock down your Time Blocks until the progress bar is finished, then just come back to claim your reward. BUT! (And it’s an important but), don’t miss out on claiming your reward - the rewards update every 24 hours, so don’t miss coming back to get them. You gotta click that “claim” button! Our first exclusive reward is a special “Nutaku” outfit for Nutaku Chan. You’ll need to earn at least 6 of the 7 Event Tokens to get the outfit for free. But don’t worry! If you miss some, you’ll have a chance to spend some Diamonds to catch up. And the more Event Tokens you have, the cheaper it is to catch up. So do it! Run, don’t walk! Let us know what you think of these new daily rewards, and what sort of stuff you’ll want to see in the future. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

Hey Panda Pals, we’ve got some stuff ready to launch which is going to change the game. Hopefully in a really good way! We’re introducing a new rewards system. Its technical name is a “Limited Time Event” system, but you can call it, “Click stuff / get stuff” or whatever feels cuddly to you. This system will allow you to assign Time Blocks, run some progress bars, and come back later to claim some cool rewards. Simple! The sorts of rewards you can expect to see are everything from small cash boosts to Diamond rewards (say whaaaaat???!?). New rewards will appear every 24 hours, so it’s basically a way to reward peeps for logging in a bunch. The trick is you’ll have to come back to claim stuff. Hee hee! Sneaky game devs! Included in this system are going to be “Event” rewards - stuff like outfits, pinups, and some future surprises that should rock your socks off. For these bigger rewards, you’ll have to log in over multiple days. You can even miss a few days, but only so many before you’ll have to spend some Diamonds to catch up. Or just spend some Diamonds to get the rewards instantly if you don’t mind dropping some bank on us. This new system is part of our efforts to introduce more places to spend Diamonds, AND giving us a way to introduce some more Diamond rewards for active players. We hope you like it, and we hope you’ll send us feedback on the kinds of stuff you want to see as rewards once we launch it. So don’t miss the launch of this nifty new system! We're aiming to premiere it on October 5, to celebrate our 1 year anniversary of being on the NSFW website Nutaku (and the addition of our naughty nympho, Nutaku Chan!). So the first reward you’ll be working toward is an Exclusive outfit for Nutaku. Don’t disappoint her (she has whips and handcuffs!) The reward after that is an exclusive pin up, featuring Nutaku and Pamu. Definitely one you might consider the Panda Pass for. The SFW and NSFW versions are pretty different. Love you so hard! --The Pandas

Hey peeps! Break out your sailor outfits, because it’s time for a sale! Now exchange those sailor outfits for school uniforms, because we didn’t think through that opening metaphor. It’s a Back To School Fashions sale, and today we’re making it worth your while to drop some BANK! Most of the bundles are on sale, but the bigger you go, the more you save and the more you get! Each tier above the $5 mark gets you some bonus swag. First there’s a custom schoolgirl outfit for Quill, then the next tier jumps to unlocking ALL of the school girl outfits. The next tier after that will net you a special pin-up, and the final tier will unlock every outfit (currently) in the game! If you’re worried about that special pin-up, and not getting the chance to earn it, don’t fret. Every pin-up will make a come back eventually in future events, so for now this one is an early “thanks” for peeps who support us. Also - you may have noticed no event or scavenger hunt this time. We decided to keep this one low key while we’re cooking up some other stuff, so keep an eye out for October shenanigans. Thanks everyone! Love you all SO hard. Awkwardly hard. Yeeeeeah! -- The Pandas

We’re hitting you with a sale tomorrow in honor of that most auspicious occasion - back to school! We’re discounting our biggest bundles, and throwing in some free outfits to boot. Incidentally, I don’t think there are any boots included. We didn’t hit you with a scavenger hunt this month because we’re cooking up some other stuff, and we ran out of burners. So spend money! And in case you’re feeling super generous, just a reminder that the Panda Pass DLC on sadpandastudios.com will give you the NSFW outfits. By Grabthar’s hammer, what a savings! Stay sexy, you sexy beasts! -- The Pandas

Grab your sunscreen and get your thongs on (sandals?) the Sexy Summer Fling is here! As we warned, this little scavenger hunt is a little different than last time. This time there are multiple tiers of rewards, but you have to log in every day to look for 1 (and only 1!) object at a time. “But wait!” (I hear you say) “That’s super tricky to do! What the hey?” “What the hey?” is right. We’re experimenting with events to see what you peeps fancy, so give it a try and let us know what you think. Sometimes the events might be super challenging, and sometimes they might be super chill - like I said, we’re experimenting. (Like in college!) Oh - and if you do manage to unlock the final pinup, this event has a particularly… lovely version in the NSFW mode. Just sayin’. That’s a thing you can get now. *cough* Best of luck! Let us know how you do, and thanks for giving us your time while we’re trying out different Live Events. Love you all so hard! -- The Pandas

We’ve got a special event coming up soon, but you NEED to know how it works because it is going to PISS you off if you’re late to the party. We’ll be doing another scavenger hunt, but this time you have to come back every day to look for a different item! (Mwa ha ha!) We’ve added some tiered rewards, so if you miss any there are still prizes to be had. You can also still buy missing items with diamonds, just like every other event, if you’re really keen on earning the ultimate prize. Why are we doing this? Great question! We’re still in the experimental phase with these kinds of events, so we’re going to be trying lots of different ideas to see which ones work the best (most players, most diamonds, happiest feedback). So feel free to bitch! It’s “research” for us! :D But seriously though, best of luck and keep sending your ideas. The Tiered Rewards thing came from you guys, and it is a sexy-sexy idea. All the best! The event starts July 26. Be there or beach chair. Or something. <3 Pandas

Greetings sugar cookies, OjiPanda here. Let’s chat about the Nude DLC. Wowzers this took a while, hey? Today I’m here to chat about what the Nude DLC is, how it works, why it works the way it do, and what the future holds for Crush Crush, Sad Panda, and the fate of the universe. Here’s what’s going down: Sad Panda is going to start offering paid Nude DLC expansions to our games. We’re going to be offering this DLC on our own website: HERE I imagine you have some questions, and here’s what I imagine they sound like:

[Why are you doing this on your own website?]

[Why does the DLC cost money, you greedy sons of bitches?]

[I checked out the site. What’s the “Panda Pass” option?]

[Can I trust this transaction? You’re not using some dodgy credit card software, are you?]

[So what do I gotta do? And what do I get?]

[Are you guys going to keep updating Crush Crush? You’ve talked about other features in the past…]

New Features

• If you haven't noticed the new icon in the top right, we've added in a notifications area where you can read information about the latest news from Sad Panda Studios! This includes patch notes, announcements on new events, and is a place where we can let you know about things we are working on. It's pretty basic for now, but we're going to evolve it to include other content (such as images, etc) in the future!
• Your memory album should now persist across prestige. This means you can still check out all of the images you earned from your previous games.
• Automatic cloud save to help with recovering lost save files (due to a reformat, etc).
• Reduced the size of the installed game by about 16MB (almost 10%).
• A little sound byte plays when the game first starts, which was a request from Artist Panda.
• A checkbox now appears on completed hobbies (hobbies that have hit level 75). We also moved the play/pause/checkbox icon a little bit to show up in the middle of the progress bar.
• The progress text on hobbies now disappears when the hobby hits maximum level.
• The new website is now live, and includes integration for the Humble Widget for purchasing the NSFW DLC. We just did some test purchases, and it works well so far.

Bug Fixes

• Masked UI elements that should be off-screen at non-standard resolutions.
• Fixed sorting for some popups so that they appear over particles.
• Better error handling when loading the game (as well as pushing exceptions to us so that we can help debug the issues that some people are seeing).

Hey Panda Peeps, OjiPanda here - spitting some steamy fire your way as we kick off our Steamy Summer Event. Here’s what we’ve got for you guys today: 1) A scavenger hunt! Welcome to the “Quest for Balls” (hahaha!). Get your clicker finger going and start searching for Beach Balls. Find all 14 and win a prize! But I’m not gonna lie to you - we made some of these bad boys a bit insane to find. But we believe in you! 2) Sale time! Diamonds are 20% off! Please buy them. Even if you just put them in a shoe box and bury them in your neighbour’s yard, we really appreciate the support. 3) Job Gilding - We’re introducing a new feature where you can use your diamonds (that you just bought!) to permanently strengthen the payouts of your jobs. I know I know! You want to be able to generate more money WITHOUT the use of diamonds. I get it, bae. But for now - isn’t this just, like, the most wonderful opportunity to show us some love? Good luck in your search! Also - let us know what you think about these little scavenger hunts, and if you have any ideas for other little mini-events we could run. We love your feedback, and your beautiful, beautiful faces. Take it easy Panda Peeps, --

Hey Panda fans (Fan-das?), we’ve got a special update for you to get you in the mood for egg hunting and getting wrecked on chocolate. Our Easter Event is up, and features a new little activity we hope you enjoy. An egg scavenger hunt with a “happy” ending! The eggs could be hidden on any screen, so look carefully. Or not - you can just spend a little cash to get this business over with. We’re cool with you doing either. You have until Monday to find all the eggs. And because the Earth is round and timezones are a thing, we can’t tell you exactly when on Monday, so “hop to it”. (Get it? Hop?) Best of luck, and let us know what you think of this event. We’ve got lots of stuff going on behind the scenes, and we’ll be posting more updates soon. Love you all so hard, -- Sad Pandas

Heya! To some people this update might be nothing new, but if you haven't met her already, Nutaku-chan is now here! Update notes below:

New Features

• NEW girl added! She's an earlier girl (showing up just after Elle) but this will help boost the speed of things in the game (chatting is more powerful for every girl completed, and Nutaku-chan gives it a strong boost that will help a lot in the late game). She also awards diamonds, as usual, which help with mid or late game purchases. She is a bit scandalous though!
• Coming soon features - not in this update, but we're working on some bonus ways to earn diamonds and other goodies, toying with ideas like Daily Rewards etc. Will have more info on that soon - just wanted to give the head's up we're still planning updates :)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed bug with purchasing dates with diamonds.
• Fixed typos in gift purchase dialogue. Voice recording is still underway with our actresses so that should take a few more weeks. Look forward to that update in the summer! Also, our NSFW patch is being worked on and I think we're going to settle on having it offered on our website. We'll post more details when it's ready! We haven't forgotten <3 ~Sad Pandas
  
  

Hey everyone! We've been hard at work on this update because it's pretty unique. There's a bunch of cool stuff we did differently this time, so here are the update notes:

New Features

• TWO new girls added, with crazy different requirements.
• Final cutscenes.
• Music changes (for dramatic impact!)
• End Credits
• Updated the Stats page to have icons represented with the stats (easier to identify requirements this way)
• New settings to skip girl introductions and affection popups (check the Settings dialog on the More page)
• New achievements for the different Outro choices and for reset boosts
• DXT5 image compression butchers some of the art, so we're moving some of that back to Truecolor (32-bit). This will increase game size a bit, but will make the art much nicer in some cases.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed achievement icon issues.
• Fixed typos.
• Improved asset bundles and loading intros.
• Added in some text that was missing.
• Re-wrote the way in which hobby progression is computed, which will fix many issues people had with online progress calculation. You should now find the hobby progress will work correctly even when your reset boost/purchased boost are low, and even when online.
• Fixed a couple of places that null reference exceptions could occur.
• Reset the number of assets that need to be loaded/have loaded so that you don't get ever increasing numbers on the loading screen.
• Resized a couple of images to take better advantage of image compression. Also, in other fun news we finalized our cast for the lovely ladies who will be voicing our characters. Recording is already underway; so we'll be posting info on our cast next week (@crushcrushDX). Then we're off to GDC to soak up lots of knowledge, meet other developers, and try to hunt down a publisher for getting Crush Crush on mobile! Wish us good luck. ~Sad Pandas
  
  

Hey hey peeps!

• 2 new girls, whose fates will determine the ending of the Crush Crush storyline!
• A saucy formerly-Nutaku-exclusive girl who will be added for everyone to enjoy!
• Other stuff!

• fixed several typos
• fixed issues with asset bundling
• removed the holiday theme (it's about time!)
• new girls added, but can’t be unlocked quite yet. They’ll show up within the next week or so.
• fixed lots of misc bugs

Hey everyone! Artist Panda here (Morgo) :3 I just wanted to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone and give you the quick run-down of what we're planning for Crush Crush:

• Holiday sale takedown (just now) ...it was really awesome to see how many people got special outfits for their waifus! I'm so happy you liked them <3
• Our final girls are coming up in time for the 'one year since Crush Crush first launched' anniversary, based on when we first came out with our beta on Kongregate. That's Feb 9.
• After we release the final girls we'll be launching a mobile version for iPhones/ iPads/ Androids. We need to do some heavy refactoring of the UI/layout for that since most people like to play in Portrait mode and our game is in landscape.
• Voice Actresses!! We held an open casting call for many roles and will be finalizing the cast in February. It's going to be awesome to have all our girls speaking in the game (in English). The update for that will likely happen around Spring, but it'll be cool because those same actresses will be used in our Visual Novel since it'll feature many of the same characters.
• After working on Crush Crush for over a year straight, Programmer Panda and I are finally taking a break this January to recharge our batteries... So I've set up a Steam account for my friend 'TroubleshooterPanda' who will be jumping in to chat/answer questions and handle support emails. Oji Panda should also be around to chime into discussions too :) Knowing me, I won't be completely relaxing on my vay-k though, as I have a ton of ideas I want to flesh out for our Crush Crush VN.
• I mentioned it in my latest video but we are moving forward with plans to make a boy version of Crush Crush (as a separate game) which I'm calling Blush Blush. It's going to have the same humor, lighthearted story, and greatly improved art. I think you're gonna like it!
• It's too early to share any details or concept art yet but we are making a Visual Novel with our girls, and going to try a Kickstarter in April. Reasons for that are the cost of original music, voice acting, background artwork and animation...it can be a hefty cost to an indie dev team ^_^;;
• Lastly, the thing I'm probably the most excited for is a collaboration we've been working on with YandereDev; since Ayano has a cameo in our game we're delighted to say that some of our girls will be showing up in his game Yandere Simulator probably some time later this year. So on our side, we've been getting 3D models ready so they can show up as a special Crush Crush mode easter egg!!

Hey everyone! This is a pretty huge update, and has been in the works for quite some time. I'm excited to announce some of the major back-end changes and engine modifications that we have been working on :D Oh, and there's a sale on for the holiday season, plus new holiday outfits that are available for a limited time!

New Features

• Okay, we're excited about this! The old game size was around 500-600MB depending on your platform. The new game size (with no loss in quality) is under 200MB! We were able to trim almost 2/3 of the build size off. We also now dynamically load assets on boot, so you should find the game boots a lot quicker than before.
• There is a new loading screen when the game first starts that identifies how many assets are being streamed from the disk. The game takes longer to load the more girls you have unlocked, but should in all cases be faster than it used to be. The game should also use far less RAM.
• New holiday outfits and store support for bundles.
• Some other new holiday features (snow particles, date images, etc).

Bug Fixes

• Ensure that Ayano will make comments about Karma and Sutra as well.
• Make sure that the dark background added in some memory album scenes will not clip against some of the UI.

Hi everyone! We've just pushed the new build of Crush Crush live, which includes two lovely new girls. I hope you enjoy meeting them as much as we enjoyed bringing them to life!

New Features

• Two new girls have been introduced, with more hints to a storyline arc!
• Some new content and functionality for the storyline arc.
• Changes prestige icon and description a bit.

Bug Fixes

• Deal with a bug that caused heart affection to increase faster than expected during offline progress/time skips.
• Fix date image to ensure there is no offset with the fruit bowl.
• Fixed some typos.
• Deal with super large heart affections and ensure they show commas without overflowing the UI.

Balance Tweaks

• Change Karma and Sutra heart requirements to be 1/20 their original value.
• Sutra no longer takes reset boost.

Hey everyone! This is our Black Friday update! We have a few new updates to the game, including typos, bug fixes and more. The store also has a sale on for the next 3 days ^_^ New Features -Renamed some of the prestige and skip reset information and included new descriptions. -Overhauled how the game gets information about store prices, etc. This allows us to run diamond sales and other events more easily. Bug Fixes -Lots of small typo fixes. -Get the correct hobby names in the Stats section of each girl. -Show 'Generica' instead of 'Ayano' notification when Ayano is first unlocked. -Add commas in a few more places where we have space. -Fix up some errors with shared WebGL code. -Fix bug where 'New Time Unlocked' showed up after every Prestige, even when time did not unlock. -Bump some of the UI around to help with adding commas. Balance Tweaks -Modified Ayano's prestige amounts. Thanks again for being so awesome and supporting our game!! We hope you have a great weekend (eat lots of turkey, if that's your jam!). We'll be hard at work prepping the next two girls to launch sometime sooooon. - Sad Panda Studios <3

Happy Hallowe'en, Crush Crushers! We've got a very special update for you with a surprise we've been cooking up for a while. We skipped the Beta build and went straight to release with this one. It is our pleasure (and horror) to introduce our first cameo character to Crush Crush: Ayano "Yandere-Chan" Aishi - the lead character from the awesomely amazing game "Yandere Simulator"!!! Holy smokes peeps, this is a serious treat and honour for us. We've been in touch with the creator of Yandere Simulator (the fabulous “Yandere-Dev”) for a few months, and he's been incredibly generous and supportive of us adding Ayano to Crush Crush. And now she’s here! Story time! As many of you know, Crush Crush has a bunch of fun tropes and references throughout the game, and we knew for a long time that we wanted to add a “Yandere” character. All of us here at Sad Panda are absolutely in love with Yandere Simulator, so we put on our courage-pants and sent Yandere-Dev an email requesting permission to use her. Well, he not only gave us permission, he’s been ridiculously helpful and trusting with us. If you haven’t heard of Yandere Simulator - welcome to the Internet! Gosh, all this “online” stuff must be so strange and new. Anyway - please go check out Yandere Simulator. And check out Yandere-Dev’s YouTube channel, so you’ll get all of the inside jokes. (Seriously, his voice is so soothing, it gives us the vapors). Ayano is a very different character from the other girls in Crush Crush. You might notice a few things… off about her. You might notice a few interesting Easter eggs too. Let us know what you think of her! Be warned - Ayano has a very aggressive balance structure compared to the other girls, so don’t expect her to play by your rules, yo. Also in this build are a few other changes and improvements:

New Features

• Spookified date backgrounds added for this week! They'll be taken down after Hallowe'en :)
• Added a new girl! We hope you like her.
• Minor balance tweaks

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bunch of typos.
• Changed 'atone' to say 'sorry' to be easier on non-English speaking players
• Improved the autosave So that’s the spooky-deets, my friends. Let us know how you’re doing, and have a Happy Hallowe'en! Love you hard, -- Sad Pandas
  
  

Big Announcement! Sad Panda is very proud to announce that Crush Crush is now out of early access! We’re fully launched on Steam! Hooray! *clinking champagne glasses and flirty giggles* “But wait!” (I hear you say) “What’s different? Why did you launch it? How does it impact… well anything?” I’m glad you asked. The reason we launched it as an official release is because we’re pleased with its stability and its metrics, and we’re super happy about its fans. We’re basically at the point where we’re confident in our ability to update the game, and everything we’re working on next is the juicy fun stuff. So if you’re wondering what’s different *this week*, please hold onto your stockings for just a short bit. We wanted to launch the game ahead of our next update, to ensure everything is peachy keen. So a better question would be: what’s coming up next? Well, here’s a short list of announcements. [olist]

Hey everyone :) If you've been following the forums you know we've been super busy with launches on new platforms. We're very excited to keep the Steam version up to date, and today is the day we bring the latest features to the PC, Mac and Linux platforms. We have some awesome new content in the works, and clearing this backlog of bugs has been instrumental to getting that new content ready to be deployed. We have more than 4 ladies currently under development, and we're excited to get them in the game shortly! One of the largest changes is to how we load certain assets on demand. This allows us to use a bit less memory, and to swap assets easier using external files/remotely stored assets on the web/etc. This will enable us to patch the game with different artwork if necessary. You can read the full list of changes below :)

New Features

• You can now resize the window when in windowed mode. Some people have computers/monitors that don't support our 16:10 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which causes visual distortion. Now you can resize to a resolution that makes sense to you when in windowed mode!
• Lots of new dialogue once you reach lover level with the girls, including new gift, greet, talk and poke chit chat.
• Do a better job at showing when outfits will become available (they'll become available at lover level).
• You can now buy a diamond ring, which unlocks the wedding dress outfit.

Bug Fixes

• Add in some dialogue for Nina that was missing.
• Fixed a bunch of typos (achievement names, duplicate achievement names, Luna, Bonnibel and others).
• Fixed a LONG standing bug where offline progress for jobs was calculated incorrectly.
• Fix a glitch that was causing some introductions to not load correctly (only sometimes ... and I'm looking at you, Elle).
• Fixed a bug that didn't allow the x64 multiplier to be purchased.
• Fix a bug that can cause the 'likes you lot' pose to flash very quickly and then disappear when changing outfits.
• Minor changes to Eva's dialogue.
• Fix typos in the introduction text (non-ASCII single-quote was used).
• Make sure to check if a session has timed out. If it has, then log back in with a new session. This will fix games not saving after the client has been open 24 hours or more on web. Steam appears to be unaffected, but better safe than sorry.
• Fixed a LONG standing issue where some girls would be cleared when loading from a cloud save. Hopefully this fixes all of our save/load issues via cloud.
• Fixed a bug that wouldn't enforce some of Eva's requirements.
• Wizard job payouts would overflow the UI, so they've been scaled appropriately.
• Fix number of iterations to level up the Restaurant job from Server to Barista.

Balance Tweaks

• Modified Luna's requirements a bit, since the new cost of gifts is very high.
• Reduce the requirements on the hobby achievement, since it isn't possible to get lvl 80 hobbies yet.
• Final items for Alpha and Bearverly will fill half of their heart affection.
• Softened Cassie's early requirements, and made Iro a tiny bit more difficult.

Hi everyone! We're proud to move our latest 0.48 release out of beta and into full release. Hopefully you have as much fun playing as we have had developing! There's a ton of new stuff in this release, alongside a new balance system for many of the girls, hobbies, jobs and prestige!

New Features

• A new girl is unlocked!
• Rehauled the achievements page, reducing the amount of clutter and grouping things together.
• Updated to the latest version of Unity
• Started using asset bundling, which helps with file size and loading speed. This is about 20% complete, there's still a long ways to go!

Bug Fixes

• Fix Eva requirements to not require diamonds.
• Fix low res image on Eva in the Steam branch.
• Do not show progress bars on achievements that have already been earned.
• Fix cost of plushy toy and tea set.
• Fix a bug that causes hobbies that max out to cancel progress on an adjacent hobby.
• Update to Unity 5.4.1 to fix particle effects not having a random seed.
• Fix a (hilarious) bug that would cause the girl to wander of the screen if you poked her quickly.
• Fix a bug that caused Linux to not load asset bundles properly (let me know if this works).
• Fix a typo in Fumi's heart requirements.
• Fix a typo in Pamu's dialog.
• Hide outfits that are not yet available.

Balance Tweaks

• OjiPanda basically changed everything, and there's a post about it here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/459820/discussions/1/343785574518510700/
• Slowed down the auto-heart generation by 3x.
• Slightly reduced the chat heart strength.
• Adjusted some of the jobs so that they take a bit longer to level up.
• Changed the hobby times to be slightly longer (using an exponent of 1.425 instead of 1.4).
• Skip reset no longer clears your pending prestige - so you could hit it as many times as you like, accumulating that prestige (assuming you have the diamonds to spend). This should make skip reset a lot more powerful.

Hey everyone. This is Programmer Panda, and I'm excited to write a bit about the latest release. We've been really busy this last month, so let's take a look at what happened!

Headliners

• A new character has been added to the game :D
• Artist panda has created a Patreon!
• Lots of prep work for future characters (they should come quicker now).

New Features

• Added a Luna Steam achievement!
• Modify size of text in the speech and interaction boxes depending on the length of the text.
• Added disclaimer to the Save Slot 2 section - make sure you read it! We'll be removing the second slot in our next update.
• Added tons of new job promotion levels and achievements.
• Luna! We haven't fully tested the balance of her yet, but she is meant to be harder/more end-game so let us know how it feels.
• Wizard job is a real thing now! Bye bye no-clue placeholder :)
• New gifts that unlock with Wizard job.
• Added a fancy 'show/hide' button above all dialogue! This was asked for on the Forums, so thanks! It only force-shows itself when girl level-ups are ready.
• Continued our work to reduce file size with lots of image optimizations.
• The beginning of the 'dark portal' saga narrative...more to come in future girl updates!
• Most (consumable) gift costs are the same however we've changed the optional diamond cost to all be 1 per item. This doesn't include outfits.
• We knocked out the achievements page sorting for now since that's under construction - our next update should have a fancy improved layout!

Bug Fixes

• Fix Luna's image to be high resolution in the Steam version.
• Fix a bug that caused Bearverly to be loaded as a bear instead of in a school uniform.
• Fix a possible Exception from being thrown in the Job code.
• Fix a bug that caused loaded games to not load the correct love level for each girl.
• Fix a bug that caused the girl portrait to have the wrong y offset after a poke animation.
• Ensure wizard items are available to Bearverly and Alpha when they have their special items available.
• Fix a couple of typos.
• Fix bug with purchased multiplier persisting across a reset.
• Fix some requirements on Luna.
• Some of Luna's text was too long and running off the bottom of the textbox. The text size now automatically adjusts to allow for all of the text to fit.
• Fixed some typos and duplicate names in the achievements.
• Fix a bug where hitting Lover with Luna didn't give the correct number of diamonds.
• Fix a bug where time played carries over on a reset.
• We updated to the latest version of Unity in hopes of that sorting out some issues.
• Fixed up some typos in Alpha and Iro's scripts.
• Swapped tea set and plushy since they had their affection/costs swapped.
• Lots of minor bugs that were reported to our support email. Thanks!

Balance Tweaks

• Reduce the shipping cost of gifts to 25% (this may go even lower).
• Lower the skill requirements for the Wizard job.
• New prestige amounts, shipping costs for gifts, and heart amounts.

https://www.patreon.com/SadPandaStudios Hello, it's Artist Panda here! A few people have asked me if I have a Patreon, which is really flattering and I never thought I'd do something like this... but here it is! Haha. The more we look at future Crush Crush stuff, the more we realize we're going to need another artist's help. On top of that we'd love to hire some voice actresses and have custom music made, etc. So a patreon kinda made sense to help us fund the cool things we have planned for future Crush Crush (and other sad panda games). It's kinda cool! This e-begging thing is all new to me :) Please check it out and stay tuned for lots of behind-the-scenes art posts there. If you have any questions about what it's all about, post 'em here and I'll do my best to answer them all. Ciao for now ^_^ ~Artist Panda

Heya! Hope you all are having a great summer so far. We've been busy working on some bug fixes and minor updates, which are:

New Features

• Added school girl uniforms!
• Applied a color tint to jobs that have reached maximum level.
• Now the number of time blocks purchased show on the store page.
• Avatar customizations now persist across prestige.
• Added disclaimer to gifts page regarding when outfits can be purchased.
• Continued our work to reduce file size - eliminating another 15+MB while still adding new content.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where players could give gifts/dates to girls that hadn't reached the appropriate level.
• Fixed a bug that was showing the date count while the date was progressing.
• Try saving purchased multiplier as soon as possible on a prestige to fix issue with that multiplier being lost.
• Hid the 'again button' when dating and you don't have enough money to go on another date.
• Minor formatting to the prestige and store page.
• Improved color difference between Quill and Elle's profile pictures (for easier readability).
• Temporarily disabled navigation of the UI with arrow keys until we can fully understand what sort of exploits exist with this system.
• Fixed a bug where the 'Go Again' button wouldn't appear if you earned enough money to go on a date while the date overlay was enabled.
• Some code was added to help with calculating progress during long periods of offline progress. This especially helps with our WebGL builds.

Hey everyone! I hope your week is going well. We've got some new updates for ya :) This one is mostly a performance update. We knocked over 130MB off the size of the final install, which is great progress - and also means that the game consumes less video memory!

New Features

• Do not allow quantity changes when purchasing gifts that are wearable items.
• Artist Panda updated a bunch of new wallpapers here: http://sadpandastudios.com/goodies.html

Bug Fixes

• Fix bug where you could re-purchase an already purchased outfit.
• Fix some minor typos.
• Save resolution when loading/saving using cloud storage.
• Fixed possible NullReferenceException on the Stats page (in particular when selecting customizations for your avatar).
• Insert some code to try to track down a particularly difficult to find exception that causes crashes in a very limited number of installs.

Hey everyone! We've got a new update for ya :) Our beta testers have been helping us find all sorts of bugs, user experience hiccups, typos, and other good stuff. We feel like it's in a good spot now to push an update to everyone! And we're really excited about this one because... OUTFITS. Finally! The first wave of outfits are rolling out in this build - just in time for Summer, it's bathing suits ;D You'll be able to buy them as gifts only at Lover Level, so that means they will be 'wearable' whenever you reach Lover status. The other cool thing is they're a one-time purchase so once you buy an outfit it'll stay in your inventory and activate at Lover level no matter how many times you prestige. *Note they won't persist across a hard reset* New Features:

Hey! Happy weekend!! We've just pushed a build to everybody after doing lots of tests and making sure things ran well in the beta build. Beta testers, this will be old news to you, but here is what's new : New Features:

• Extend prestige multiplier up to 2048x, and the purchase multiplier up to 8192x.
• Bearverly's age has been changed (although age of 15 is middle aged in bear years :P)
• Skip Reset button will gray out when prestige multiplier will increase above 64
• Take players to the store page instead of allowing them to purchase more timeblocks inline. This is to help with players who accidentally spend diamonds when clicking quickly.
• Add config image when game first starts.

Hey everyone! We've just released the latest version of Crush Crush. Version 0.32 should now be rolling out, and it includes some neat changes! Here's the changelog from 0.30:

New Features:

• Support more resolutions, and support 16:9 aspect ratio without stretching
• Disable some sound effects when the game loses focus
• Added ability to run a date multiple times

Bug Fixes:

• Fix inconsistent requirements for Mio
• Fix issues with Pamu requirements
• Fix collider that was floating above the girl list
• Fix minor store bug
• Stop some tutorial elements from firing again after a Prestige
• Fixed lots of exceptions that we were catching (array out of bounds, etc)
• Working to improve quality of cloud save/load
• Fixed some minor typos

About Beta Releases

We're excited to offer a development branch of Crush Crush! The development branch will feature the latest changes, balance, optimizations, and new content. However, since this is a beta branch we cannot guarantee complete stability. Although we will try to release the highest caliber of content, a beta may have bugs and crash. If this trade-off sounds exciting to you, then we invite you to join us in testing the latest version of Crush Crush!
