NekoNyan has announced plans for (technically) 10 upcoming visual novels at Otakon 2024. In addition, they’ve shared some project updates on their existing projects.
It was mentioned in the Q&A section that all of the new announcements will be demosaiced.
Hatsuyuki Sakura White Graduation
Alias: White Graduation, Hatsusaku, はつゆきさくら
Developer: SAGA Planets
VNDB: https://vndb.org/v7302
Description:
Kawano Hatsuyuki is a third-year student at Shirosaki Academy. Given the school is designed to help prepare students for
higher education, Hatsuyuki is one of the rare few troublemakers. He begrudgingly comes to school day after day since
he’s in danger of not being able to graduate.
The month is December, when the first snow of the year falls.
While wandering around the older parts of town, Hatsuyuki stumbles upon a beautiful girl adorned in a white dress,
who seems to be looking for a rabbit amidst the snow.
A few days after that peculiar nighttime encounter, the girl, Sakura, transfers to Hatsuyuki’s school–in order to
take Hatsuyuki along his final winter.
The seasons change, and those 1,095 long days finally come to an end.
Winter has faded, and spring is in the air.
Looking back fondly on those snowy memories, the boy stands tall as he’s about to graduate.
From the first snow to the blooming cherry blossoms…
Congratulations.
Hacking the Moon to Find My Goddess
Note: They later clarified that this is the extended edition.
Alias: Kami-sama no You na Kimi e, Kamikimi, 神様のような君へ
Developer: CUBE
VNDB: https://vndb.org/v26639
Description:
Kaito Shiromae—a young man with a gift for hacking.
Despite being a student, he manages to break through the ultimate security challenge, gaining root access to Central-AI—a system that supervises countless AIs around the world.
In this day and age, the majority of human infrastructure is managed by AI. With his new power, Kaito is capable of anything, so he gives Central-AI the following command:
“Help me, Kaito Shiromae, meet a girl who’s crazy in love with me! A kind girl, with big, pretty eyes, who’ll pamper me! Oh, and make sure she has big tits!”
However, he is met with the response:
“No candidate found. 0 matching results.”
Kaito goes to bed dejected, but after considering how to execute his command, Central-AI activates a factory in the dead of night and manufactures a robot to satisfy his request.
Several days later, a girl seemingly tailor-made to be his ideal woman—Tsukuyomi—appears at his doorstep.
Tsukuyomi possesses superhuman strength and tremendous affection for Kaito, but because she’s an AI, she makes a lot of bizarre mistakes.
Judging that she is not yet Kaito’s ideal woman, she grows determined to perfectly express to him just how crazy in love she is.
Having met his ideal goddess (even if she is an AI-powered robot), what future awaits Kaito?
Now then, Master. It’s time for me to pamper you to your heart’s content.

Description:
Our protagonist Koga Nao wakes up one morning feeling quite pleasant. The birds are chirping… and a girl is with him.
The girl, Toiro Kirame, he met the previous night at a college drinking party. While he’d only meant to take care of her after she’d had too much to drink, confusion and lack of memory leads to her mistakenly assuming they had a one night stand and demanding he take responsibility by going out with her.
However, the situation grows complicated when Nao’s longtime crush, Nobuta Yua, out of nowhere responds to his many confessions and declares that he’s now her boyfriend.
While he’s now found himself with two girlfriends, this is no joyous occasion.
He has to manage his relationships with them without letting anyone know he’s two-timing, while also dealing with his existing friendships as they change and evolve.
Will he be able to navigate his way out of this sticky, romantic quagmire to reach a happy ending for everyone involved, or will the weight of his own two-timing ways drag him down to his demise?
Find out in this messy, unpredictable, and drama-filled romantic comedy!

Description:
Let my feelings be conveyed!
The year of the sakura–The one year out of every ten where the cherry blossoms bloom unusually long, in which the annual festivals are celebrated with much grandeur.
With the return of the year of the sakura, various feelings begin to bloom as if they’d been waiting impatiently.
“Seeing my big brother’s smiling face for the first time in two years…… This is where I belong after all.”
“I know the truth…… That’s not his true self. This year for sure, I’ll……”
“I wonder if I can really do it…… No, I must do it. I have to regain that relationship.”
“My preparations should be more than enough. There’s no way I’ll let it go that way again……”
And,
“It’s been 10 years since I last came to this town, hasn’t it? Perhaps I’ll be able to see that person. I hope I see him……”
All of these feelings entangle like cherry blossom petals dancing in the wind.
And so begin the many stories……
Making Lovers First Blush

Developer: SMEE
VNDB: https://vndb.org/v30456
Description:
What’s the point of love if it’s not ordained?
Why meander towards anything other than a happily ever after?
Love is sacred. Love is meant to burn hot, bright, and everlasting.
I’ve always believed this, even as my classmates fumble around with their hookups and bids for instant gratification.
But that’s all changed this summer.
I can keep waiting for fate to send me a soulmate straight out of a cloudless sky, or I can find them for myself.
I can keep chasing fantasies, or I can learn what real love is.
A childhood friend who cherishes my company.
A classmate in need of a Prince Charming.
A freshman who reaches just a little too far.
A senior with an undying love for her family.
Friends. Strangers. Acquaintances. All girls with the potential to be more.
Potential that’ll never be realized if I keep sitting on my hands.
So what’s stopping me from making my move?
Why can’t this be the beginning of my own love story?
Why not make my own happily ever after?

His medical researcher parents have used the unique opportunity his illness provides to gather data about his condition, which has contributed greatly to medical science. As a result, they have encouraged him to sleep well and lead a calm, relaxing life, so that he’ll make a better research subject, and in turn help people all over the world with his data.
However, those same parents throw a wrench into his peaceful life when they come up with a plan to boost immunity through hugging.
Now, every night he has to choose one of his sisters to hug and spend the night with!
What will Onii-chan do when faced with this sudden and weighty responsibility?
