We're in the final stages of development for v0.1! As part of this process, I've pulled the list of all active Patrons as of 10:30 PM GMT-4 tonight. This will be the initial patron credits list for MalOvent. If you upgrade your tier or someone new becomes a Patron, I'll adjust those credits accordingly. Like with F@FF, I consider even one month's payment enough to be included in the list. This is simply the baseline!
2024-04-22 02:51:42 +0000 UTC View PostBefore you wonder: No, this blog post isn't an April Fools joke.
On the F@FF front, we're still working on art and translations for the v0.4.0 update. As I've said previously, the bulk of the art will be in Insert CGs for all the endings. Some of those CGs will then be animated, but not every CG. If you haven't already seen the news about Nu-Frenni, you can check her out here!

Patrons have been getting teasers about Nu-Frenni for weeks now, and finally the sprite sheet is done and ready to be shared with the general public! Omegatherio really outdid themselves this time! :D
Nu-Frenni will appear at a dramatically-appropriate time during the course of the F@FF visual novel. From that point onwards her old sprites will be replaced with these ones here. If you want to keep Frenni in her original body then you'll have to break into Smith's office before the switc...

Good news, everyone! We're finally far enough along that we can start sharing proper teasers and details about the MalOvent project!
To start, MalOvent is a horror/thriller take on SCP-1471 by LurkD (Licensed under CC-BY-SA). The beginning of the game will cover the first 90 or so hours after the MalO program is installed on the main character's phone. After that will follow a story of harrow...
2024-03-20 00:01:17 +0000 UTC View PostHello all! Another update coming at you!
As of a few minutes ago, I finished testing nearly all of the code up until the endings and the epilogue for F@FF. Overall there's 6 endings, two of which share the same epilogue (albeit with different scenes) and one that redirects to another depending on the sex of the MC. These endings and the epilogue are still being written/coded, but for now I've passed off the main script file to the translators. We're still hammering away at new art as we...
2024-03-15 04:07:07 +0000 UTC View PostHello all! Another update coming at you!
Work has begun on the v0.4.0 update of F@FF. As of this blog post there's just Day 12, Night 13, Day 13, Night 14, and the Epilogue remaining for me to write. I anticipate that I will finish mid-late March at my current speed, at which point we'll once again be waiting on art and translations to come in. I'll make sure to share certain bits of artwork here and there, so if you want to see behind the scenes make sure you're at the proper tier!

We've hit several new milestones with this release, including over 400k views and 100k downloads as of this blog post. As sort of a look back and look ahead, I wanted to put out a bit of a dev log regarding how the project is faring, some interesting analytics, and what's next for the project.

Highly requested by fans, here's Fexa in her French maid outfit! You'll see these on Night 3 and in Night 10 onwards.
2024-02-13 23:18:09 +0000 UTC View PostPatch Notes for Alpha v0.3.01:
• All content up to Day 9 has been added. Due to fixes that had to be made to the research trees (see below), you MUST restart your playthrough to avoid errors. Loading a save from an earlier version will cause errors and break the game. My hope is that this is the last time you have to start over, but I can't promise that for sure. Thank you for understanding.
Hello all! Another update coming at you!
On the art front, we're 1 background and 1 CG away from being "feature complete" for v0.3.0. The idea is that we'll continue to work on optional/extra art such as French Maid Fexa while waiting on the translations to finish. This includes adding animation to the existing H-Scene CGs.
On the translations front, things are chugging along. The Spanish (non-Latin) TL is mostly done and in final checks. Every other language (Chinese, Russian) is...

Good news for all of you with 3D printers! I worked with CleoFigurines to create a special printable-model of Lexy the Shark. The .STL files are attached to this post and are available for Tier 2 Patrons and up.
If you have any questions or if there's an issue with the .STL files, please let me know ASAP!

Marie the Puppet makes her debut in the next major update (v0.3.0). You'll find her on Night 8 regardless of what route you're on. Enjoy!
2024-01-02 08:23:18 +0000 UTC View PostHello all! Time for another quick update before 2024 rolls around.
In short, we're still waiting on art and translations to be finished before v0.3.0 can be released. Our team is doing their best, so please be patient! The best case scenario would mean a release at the end of January/beginning of February, but I don't want to commit to a hard date. We should still beat or meet the original Q2 2024 window outlined in the 2023-12-28 06:54:09 +0000 UTC View Post

Hey Patrons! Just wanted to let you know a few details that were originally posted in the Patron-only Discord channels.
- I'm working with a voice actress for a little surprise that will go into v0.4.0
- The Aeromorph VN (Project [REDACTED]) has been pivoted away from an air-superiority fighter to an Arsenal Bird expy. Oceanbuffalo has told me this is to honor a friend they lost recently, and that they still want to try their hand at a VN.
- I've figured out how to split up ...
2023-12-08 05:54:19 +0000 UTC View PostHello all! Time for another quick update.
We're still waiting on art and translations to come in before v0.3.0 can be released. On the art front, 1 out of 2 new H-scenes has been completed. There's over 20 new sprites we want to try and add to the game, including an entirely new character, so give us some time! The translations are at varying stages of development. I still anticipate the next release will be in 2024 unless things change during the month!
Also for those of you who ...

After seeing the research trees discussed across a few communities, I thought I'd shed some non-spoiler light on how the trees work to reduce confusion/frustration.
For every tree except the Missing Persons tree, the process is simple: First, you get an initial research dialogue that plays whenever you research a tree for the first time. Then you get the interim dialogue until you acquire enough points in that tree to surpass a threshold. At that point the threshold dialogue plays, and ...
2023-11-13 23:37:19 +0000 UTC View PostHello all! Quick update here on my end.
In short, the script and coding for v0.3.0 has been completed! At this point we are waiting on art and translations to come in. I still anticipate the next release will be 2024. Should that change I'll let you know!
Also, if you haven't heard/seen already, we now have a near-complete original soundtrack thanks to DJLC. We kept the main menu music and the ambient stuff, but overall everything's got a new spin including the insert performances...

Double Patron feature tonight! As part of the effort to enhance and create further H-Scene CG art, Omega's come up with this general guide for what the male (Josh) and female (Jane) protagonists look like.
2023-11-08 04:24:03 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to DJLC, we've been able to swap out most of the old audio tracks for original ones that will pass by any content/copyright screens. Or so is the hope. This should make posting on YouTube/other sites easier! This particular track is the one for Frenni's song on Night 2.
2023-11-08 02:56:03 +0000 UTC View PostHello, everyone! I thought I'd start posting an update at the beginning and middle of each month so folks can be kept in the loop of development progress.
Here's what's going on in November so far:
• I've started to code the v0.3.0 update. A large portion of my time so far has been going back and fixing the behavior of the research trees, as well as future-proofing them for other updates in the future. Unfortunately, this means you'll have to start a new playthrough to avo...

Just a quick bug fix for the hard crashes in the Russian translation and some typo squashing. It's non-mandatory if you already have v0.2.1 and you don't plan on touching the Russian TL.

Due to the way Ren'Py handles variables and save states, you **MUST** restart your playthrough with a fresh save to prevent any unforeseen weirdness and to see some of the new art additions in earlier content (Days 1-3). You should still be able to skip text you've already seen via the button at the bottom.

2023-10-10 00:01:58 +0000 UTC View PostWith the completion of both the Spanish and Russian translations, plus Lexy's sprites, we're four backgrounds away from having everything we need for the release of v0.2.0! The tentative date for the Patron release is October 17th. The general public will receive the game on Halloween (Oct 31st). As always, this date is subject to change should we run into any problems finishing the art or if we find major, game-breaking bugs.
