I thought it might be fun to take a look back at A Fortnight at Frenni Fazclaire's for the New Year and talk about what the team learned and what's changing for the second entry in the series coming later this year. If you haven't played the first game yet, I HIGHLY recommend you do before reading this post!

Hello all! Another update coming at you!
For MalOvent, the v0.3 script is 95% done. The H-Scenes still need to be written, but the main bulk of the script has been handed off to mono for review and the art pass. As a reminder, mono is on holiday for a bit, so the absolute bare minimum, nose-to-the-grindstone release would be in March 2025. Realistically, I'd continue to say look towards April/May, but again please keep in mind this is NOT a hard deadline for us...

For all you fans of Roxanne Wolf, I have good news! Omegatherio put the final touches on Roxy's sprites just recently! She, Aurora the White Tiger, Glamrock Chiku, and Mia Mangle will all be featured in A Fortnight at Frenni Fazclaire's 2 along with one other semi-secret character.

Hello all! Another update coming at you!
For MalOvent, the v0.3 script is roughly 30% done. I anticipate that it will take me into late December or longer to have a draft I'm satisfied with and can turn over to mono to do the art pass on. Since mono is going on holiday soon as well, the absolute bare minimum, nose-to-the-grindstone release would be in March 2025. Realistically, I'd say look towards April/May, but please keep in mind this is NOT a hard deadline ...

Starting today, I'll be running a 30-day discount on year long subs to Patreon. You can save 15% by subbing for a year in advance for Tiers 2 through 6. Note that this only applies for the first year you sub for. Subsequent years will be at full price.
This discount should already be available and showing to you all, but here's the redemption code if not: 1C0A8
I'll have more news about all the projects in early December. Thanks for supporting us!

Hello all! Another update coming at you!
For you fans of MalOvent, work on v0.3 began this past weekend. I anticipate it will take me until the end of the month (if not longer) before I can pass off the script to mono for an art pass. Given the barrage of holidays and other events, we're projecting that v0.3 will not be ready until March 2025 at the earliest.
For you fans of A Fortnight at Frenni Fazclaire's, work on F@FF 2 also began this past weekend....

The public release of MalOvent Act 2 is finally here a little early thanks to someone figuring out my little cipher challenge on Discord! Grab it at the link above/below!
The only things that should have changed between the Patron-only Release and this version are a singular typo fix and (hopefully) including all the Patrons that were missing in the first go around. Note: You had to be a Patron before Oct 16th to be included in this version's credits. New Patrons ...

Act 2 is finally here! Inside are multiple branching paths, including 3 unique H-Scenes. We've worked really hard to polish and make your experience pleasant!
In an effort to ensure the most number of devices can run the game, we've added several checks and options. If your game crashes on the first boot, don't fret! Just hit the "Ignore" button on the error screen or launch the game once more and it will automatically boot into "Performance Mode". You can also toggle this option in th...

The cataclysmic event known as the "Deathfall" happened with little warning before drowning Earth and leaving Humanity on the brink of extinction. Those that survived turned to self-augmentation and mechanization in order to reclaim that which was lost under the dark waves. Humanity found a new foothold, and with it new dangers.

The working title is Lavafalls University. It is inspired by the Monster Girl Encyclopedia by Kenkou Cross, featuring three main love interests: A Goth Manticore, a Gyaru Balrog, and a Tomboy Apophis. As the design sheets are completed, I'll be...

Version 0.4.0 is finally here! As a T2+ Patron, you get 2 weeks of early access before the public gets it!
Of note, v0.4.0 is English Only. The translations will come in the final version which does not yet have a ballpark of when it will be done. If you need the translations to play, stick with v0.3.1 or lower for now.

Between writing/coding F@FF and MalOvent, I've wrapped up Draft 1.5 of my latest Sci-Fi novel. It is much different than either of the visual novels, but I figure some of you are here for my writing in general.
The elevator pitch is "Ghost in the Shell meets Waterworld". The working dust jacket is as follows:

Hello all! Another update coming at you!
For MalOvent, we're approaching the point where we can send the builds over to the beta testers for any last minute bug-catching. I don't want to commit to a hard date yet, but I am cautiously optimistic that the projection of Sept/Oct will hold true. Just keep an eye on Discord and posts here!
For F@FF, we're three CGs away from the English-only release of v0.4. If you're confused what I mean by that, 2024-09-02 04:49:45 +0000 UTC

Hello all! As part of the process of preparing upcoming releases, I've assembled the credit list of every Patron (in Tier 1 and above) that's contributed to each project thus far. You are listed at the highest Tier you ever paid for successfully, i.e. if you were a Tier 4 and changed to Tier 6, you'll be under Tier 6.
IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE INCLUDED IN THE CREDIT LIST(S), PLEASE DM ME HERE ON PATREON ASAP.

Hello all. This update will cover F@FF only, so if you're just here for MalOvent feel free to skip over this one.
The good news: We are closer to a release of F@FF. That much hasn't changed. However, in the interests of transparency, I need to let you know where we stand.
The not-so-good news: Due to the rising tensions and turmoil in a certain South American country where our main F@FF artist resides, we've had to make the difficult dec...

Hello all! Another update coming at you!
For MalOvent - I want to give folks the heads up that our projection of Aug/Sept 2024 for the release of v0.2 will need to change to Late September/October. We're putting a lot of love and care into the second act, and that means we just need a little more time to cook. Should we release early (or if we need to push back the date again) I will let you all know ASAP.
For F@FF - Work has been coming along slowly on...

Hello all! Another update coming at you!
For MalOvent - The initial sprite/music pass for v0.2 is done. The materials have been passed onto mono for review and tweaking. Still to do: CGs and a laundry list of small tasks
For F@FF - Chiku's CG is almost done, just missing female MC variant. Still to do are Frenni, 4 multicharacter CGs, and 4 non-H CGs.
With this all in mind, MalOvent v0.2 is projected for sometime August/September, ...

Hello all! Another update coming at you!
Work on both MalOvent and F@FF is proceeding along. Both projects are in the artwork phase, and are still on track for their respective ballpark release dates. The writing is done for each, so we're mostly just waiting on the artists (Omega and mono) to work their magic. We're putting a lot of love and care into these visual novels, and that takes time!
Thank you all again for your support, no matter the form. We hope to conti...

For those not in the Discord server - I just completed the first pass at the v0.2 script. It now has to pass through mono (the artist) and my beta-readers before the art pass can begin in July. We're hoping the next release will be within the projected Q3 (July - September) time frame. Should that change we'll let you know ASAP!
