Important announcement regarding future updates


Hey guys for those of you yet to see, our good friend and lead artist Haps has made the decision to resign from the Cleaved team to take some much needed time away and focus on his mental health. 

We at the Cleaved team wish him nothing but the best as he undergoes his journey of recovery and hope the process of rekindling his spark is kind to him. 

As for what this means for Cleaved, there will be some unfortunate delays for future releases from the team as we begin to look for a new artist to fill the role. That said at the time of this announcement the vast majority of artwork for the episode Frasier build has been completed and should be on track for an early 2025 Patreon release as we initially planned but we'll comment on the official release window for this as we get closer to the coding stage. As for the builds to come, these will be delayed as we look into not only hiring a new artist to work on new sprites for characters yet to come but also working on updating previous sprites so we can offer a more consistent visual experience. 

I do apologise folks as I'm sure this was not the update you were expecting but were not giving up just yet and we hope you'll enjoy what we have in store going forward.

All the best

This might sound really weird but I'm really happy to hear Haps is taking a breather. He's been on so many projects, several being ongoing and in development I was actually getting worried about his health.

I hope you guys find a good stand in. I know there's at least one person on bsky/twitter that explicitly mimics Haps' style so that could be an option.


Take your time and best wishes.
