Hey everyone, Syon here! It's absolutely insane to think about it, but it's officially been five years since the first episode of National Park Girls launched. As cliche as it is to say, it feels like both a lifetime ago and not very long ago at all. Either way, I'm so glad we got Episode 5 out before reaching this milestone. That would've been embarrassing. To celebrate this occasion, I'm stoked to reveal that we've got a couple announcements for ya! The first of these announcements is small, but important. Steam achievements are finally fixed across the board, the credits in Episode 5 display now, and the art gallery has been updated with lovely new art. Including work from lan's very own Adirosa. It won't be the last update, though. Because we'll soon be doing a massive overhaul of National Park Girls. This includes:

• Redone backgrounds.
• Completely new UI.
• Increased accessibility options.
• Improvement to sprite direction (specifically so that everyone is facing each other when speaking, like in Episode 5.
• Additional proofreading and slight quality of life adjustments to the script.
• An additional key visual from Satchely.

The goal of these updates is to make NPG a smoother, more consistent visual novel, and to align it with the quality our audience has come to expect from Studio lan games. Please look forward to it. We still aren't done, though. Because all these updates will be included in National Park Girls: Love Our Parks Edition!
Very soon, all five episodes of National Park Girls will be delisted from digital platforms and replaced with one release that includes every episode. This has been something we've wanted to do for quite a long time, and I can think of no better opportunity than now. We're still figuring out details such as what price this edition will be retailing at, so stay tuned. While I love NPG's episodic structure, it has often deterred people from enjoying the series. With this update, I hope more people will get to experience Eve's story. And finally, it will be National Park Girls: Love Our Parks Edition that we will be offering up as a physical release! Over the last several years, Studio lan and Bellhouse titles have received physical editions, and National Park Girls will soon accompany them. Expect to be able to purchase the physicals at conventions we booth at and the Studio lan webstore. More details will be revealed at a later date. In addition to all these announcements, we are pleased to let you know that we'll be offering a batch of brand new NPG keychains featuring the various Park Girls, drawn by our friends Ringo and Myuto! Expect those on the webstore and at conventions as well.
Once again, thank you for continuing to play and enjoy National Park Girls. My life would look quite different without these nature gremlins. I hope they've brought as much to your life as they have to mine. - Syon
