Very excited to share this development concept art with you because it's very special -- this CG never made it into the final game! It's from a deleted scene and the final version of the CG is absent from the game, but KahnerC has made a mockup of what it might have looked like!

A crude development sketch of a Chokuretsu CG. Kyon stands with his palm to his face while his sister waves at him and Haruhi.

A more detailed version of the aforementioned concept sketch, still in line art form. Kyon is facepalming while his sister waves and Haruhi looks on. The scene is clearly set in Genkotsu Square.

The same sketch as before but inked and without the background.

The previous unused CG, this time colorized beautifully by KahnerC.

This one is also pretty great -- it makes an appearance both in the OP video and in the upcoming episode 4. Please look forward to it!

Can you believe it's been almost three years since we released episode 1 of Chokuretsu? I sure can't lol. Here's some more colorized sketch dev art, this time from when Kyon encounters the eponymous man-eating classroom in that episode!

So first, there's this image in the game. It's pretty good. But then we found the original development concept sketch. And then KahnerC from the Discord colorized it. And then we put that back into the game. Honestly I don't have anything to say here, these just had to be seen!

A CG from Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu. Haruhi stands over Mikuru, striking a threatening pose, while Mikuru cowers in terror.

The same scene as previous but in crude sketch form. This is a real concept sketch from the game's development!

sometimes you don't realize how a line sounds when you're translating it (obviously not keeping it this way lol)

A screenshot of Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu. Mikuru stands center looking worried. The background is a staircase in the dark. Kyon says, "It'd be terrible if you slipped."

The same scene as before, except Asahina's arms are raised slightly. Her dialogue reads: "Kyaa—!"

Asahina has disappeared from the screenshot. Kyon's dialogue reads: "What happened, Asahina?!"

Asahina returns the screenshot, hunched over. "I'm sorry, I slipped..." she says.

Super cool thing posted by the Suzumiya Haruhi bot on Twitter: concept art from Chokuretsu! You can see the name of the scene it's from in the top left (EV4_020) -- I actually personally just finished checking the translation for this one lol. Here's the final image in the game and an SL preview!

A piece of concept art (originally posted by @haruhikoikubot on Twitter) of a CG from Suzumiya Haruhi no Chokuretsu. It seems to have been done in pencil on paper and lightly colored.

The final version of the CG shown in the quoted tweet. Haruhi is kneeling on the ground applying a bandage to Mikuru's knee as she sits in a folding chair in the literary clubroom.

For the record, we're going more or less in this order. Heiretsu is next, followed by Tsuisou, then Tomadoi. But since the demand for Gekidou is apparently so high (and it's probably not that difficult from a translation perspective), we might try to sneak it in. 😎

Poll by the Haroohie Translation Club asking "Which Haruhi game after Chokuretsu are you most excited for us to translate?"

Results (43 votes):
Heiretsu 37.2%
Tomadoi 9.3%
Tsuisou 25.6%
Gekidou 27.9%
