(2024-01-31) v4.6
Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here…Â And the Road to Emerald begins.
What that means? It means that this is the first of the updates which will bring us to JPDE 5.0, which will include Emerald’s Custom Ending and bring Sonata of Fire ever so close to its FINAL FORM.
This is a first step! This update, 4.6, contains a LOT of bug fixes -thank you, Renpy god, for the constant updates that make life so much easier!- and a much requested feature:Â YOU CAN NOW SKIP ALL THE BATTLE CONTENT IN THE GAME WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE STORY!
That’s right! While we are reworking and updating the battle system to something more humane, helped by the experience we’ve gained in developing JPDE2 [which is A DIRECT SEQUEL TO JPDE1, it seems that a lot of people were confused about that!] you will now be able to skip everything, making repeated plays much quicker! Right now, you can only choose to battle or not battle at the beginning of the game but that will also disappear once the new battle system is in place.
More features are coming! A fully functional gallery, music player, and MORE! JPDE2 may be the future, but JPDE1 is not done just yet!

(2023-09-09) v4.5
Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here…! And it’s finally time for 4.5! For the public, that is.
The update has been a while coming, but unfortunately, Patreon funding has gone a little down in the last few months, which means that we can only work on so many projects at the same time… And Team JPDE had to focus on GalaxiA! Our first original game, which is also necessitating actually making a real company out of us. The pilot for Galaxia is going to come out for free right on Itch and localized in Italian and Ukrainian.
But that doesn’t mean that we can or have forgotten about JPDE… Or its sequel. On that front, be sure to keep your ears perked up…
Anyway, Sonata of Fire 4.5! This release contains:
– Extra Art for Blake’s Ending!
– Extra, ahem, night-time activities for Blake
– A 2nd Date for Kali Belladonna!
– The prototype for the new Battle System, contained in the Blake VS Evelyn Battle!
– More Voice acting!
Thanks for your support and love so far! See you on the 5th of October with GalaxiA’s pilot episode!
JPDE SoF Lewds – Blake’s Dance AfterParty
It’s finally here…Â The Blake Dance has been completed, with full CG art and the after-dance Lewd!
You just need to install the RPA as usual and enjoy!
Warning – This new version of the RPA needs JPDE Sonata of Fire version 4.5 to work.

(2023-05-06) v4.4
Hello thar, Meinos Kaen here… And it’s finally complete.
With the addition of Blake Belladonna Team RWBY, in its entirety, now has a custom ending!
Alongside the fact that the battle system is being revamped and that we’re running out of characters to nominate for the Supporters Polls, this release kind of signals the end of an era… From now on, updates for JPDE will be character focused: Supporters on Patreon and Ko-Fi will vote on which character to focus on next. After that character has had their content fully realized, we will then move to the next one.
Some big changes are coming for JPDE2 – Adagio of Darkness, too. If you’ve joined the Discord Community of Team JPDE you might already have an idea as to what those changes might be. If not, I invite you to join 😀 Also because it’s the only place where you can report bugs of any kind~
Also, in case you haven’t seen it, we’ve announced the title of our very first completely original game: GalaxiA! You can find the game’s own website right here 😀
Stay tuned for more information and I wish you a great month of May!
