Wip Script

This part of the script is just the first draft it's already been changed and expanded quite a bit. But it contains some spoilers, so I decided to only show this early section, written before the spoilers kick in.
So keep in mind that this scene is already slightly different to better fit the game.

MC hears the sound of a curtain. The house is very dark.

MC : (Shit… did I leave the balcony door open?)

You run to the bedroom but the balcony door is closed. As you tu...

Wips and Final Sprites

A few WIPs and finished sprites for the scene I’m currently coding.

It’s a pretty long scene and there are some variations of the same sprite, so there’s not a whole lot to show.

I’m having a bit more trouble specifically with this Harlequin scene the transitions and the pacing of his lines aren’t quite right yet, but I’m almost there! Soon I’ll be able to move on to the next part!

Jester is having fun.

Jester and the fifth one already have concept art and a full design, but I’m still making some adjustments to their outfits so for now, I just wanted to reveal a little sneak peek.

Jester has some patterns on their mask in purple, just like Harlequin’s whose are green.

You’ll be sneaking a few more peeks at these two soon!

Reminder

Hey! Just a little reminder that the content here on Patreon like WIPs, art, and sprites is meant to stay exclusive to this space. So please avoid reposting it elsewhere.

Only the content I share on social media (with proper credit) can be reposted.
And when something is going to be made public, I usually let you know like when I say “this will be posted later,” just like the sketch I’ll be sharing publicly soon, for example.

I’m currently organizing a...

Weekly update + sneak peak

This week I managed to make good progress on several sprites and scene WIPs for the beginning of the game.

So just to keep you updated, here’s a bit about how the process works:

I start by sketching some placeholders and coding part of the dialogue for that scene.

Then, depending on the scene, I finish the art so I can check if anything needs to be adjusted like how it looks next to other sprites or with the transitions.

After that, I go back and tweak the transition...

More Sprites!

And these are some of the ones already finished!
Sometimes they have small variations, but nothing major.
This particular scene is taking a while because of transitions and everything else.

More wips! (maybe spoilers)

Yeah, there are a few pretty intense scenes this time.
I’m not sure if spoilers like that might be a problem for someone.
But I’ll keep some of the scenes as a surprise.

Sprites finished!

I managed to finish these two! The animation took some effort, but it fit so well into the scene!
I’ll have more WIPs to post soon.

1 Month

The game turns one month old today! 🎉

I’d like to thank everyone who responded to the merch survey! I’ve started looking into it more seriously to explore the possibility of plushies!

And thank you so much for all the support it’s really helped me cut down on other work so I can dedicate more time to the game!

Thanks to that, I was able to finish some animations and sprites much faster, and I’ll have more content to share with you very soon!

Weekly update

I've been working on the opening scenes this week, so the beginning of the game is already coded up to a certain point in the dialogue.

Next, I’ll be finishing the animation and starting tests with it in the scene this takes some time since I need to sync everything properly.

The main menu is also getting a brand-new image! I think you’ll like it!

I’m also adding “hidden scenes”

Are you interested in merchandise?

It’s something that keeps coming up in asks, so I’ve gotten curious about your thoughts!
It’s definitely something I could look into while continuing work on the game.

So which one of these would you buy?

CG Finished

I'd like to show one of the first finished CGs for Day 2!
I'm currently working on this scene and on the animation, which is still in the lineart phase.

Script - Wip

This is a rough little scene from one of the possible story paths.
I usually change a lot in the final version!
I'll be sharing small excerpts, but nothing that gives away any spoilers.

Script - deleted scene

This is a draft of one of Pierrot’s early monologues. I wrote and rewrote his lines several times before reaching that final version.

We can take it slow, my lady/lord/dear...
There's no rush. I would wait a thousand nights just to see that shy sparkle in your eyes once more.

Every step you take toward me is what keeps my heart beating.
Would you join me in this gentle dance?
I'll lead with care… like a true gentleman.

But look at what you're doing to me...

Thanks everyone for answering the poll! That really eased my mind a bit I love writing, but I do worry about going overboard with the narrative.

Now, I have some updates for you!

I'm revising some parts of the script, and so far I’ve noticed that this day will likely be longer than the first one, since we have three characters to introduce now. So I'd like your opinion. Do you think it would be tiring if the second day is longer?

At this stage, I test them using sketches to decide the positioning of things, so sometimes some scenes end up being changed or scrapped.
Right now, I’m working on the route where you get drugged by the food.
I’ll try not to give too many spoilers beyond what the images already reveal. View Post

This image was almost the main menu of the game, but I ended up choosing the other one. The idea was to program it so that the menu image would change based on the decisions you make in the game, but I haven’t been able to make that work yet. Maybe when the full game is finished, I’ll add an easter egg like that.

Harlequin color tests

As I already mentioned, there weren’t many color tests for Harlequin! Once I decided on red for Pierrot, I knew he needed a vibrant green.

His outfit didn’t go through many tests for some reason, his image came to me quite easily. It’s a bit simpler, but it works well for him.

And yes, Pierrot was almost purple! But I didn’t think it suited his personality, so I ended up saving it for another character.
