Patreon Devlog update 016: Backgrounds finished and CGs sketches

Hello folks! It’s a brand new year and we’re back on track! Refreshed energy, renewed motivation and of course, more progress with the game update!

Backgrounds are finished!

All the background artwork for the update is finished. There are several variants for each one, depending on time of day and such. Maybe that will give you some context for what you will be experiencing in this new route.

Patreon Devlog update 015: Sprites progress and a Holidays greetings!

Hello everyone! It’s been a whole year since we released the demo to the public and started working on updates for the game, and it feels almost like it was only a couple of weeks ago! Where does time go??

Devon’s sprite work

We’ve been working alongside the winner of the raffle and Bha'Qu to bring Devon’s character in a way that works for both parts! His sprite is mostly finished, only missing a few expressions that will be used in the scenes he’ll be a part of

Script draft is ready

With roughly 11600 words, this update will be containing a whole lot of story for our shark boy Lachlan, and as such, the branching paths are starting to take more shape, hopefully giving you all guys the chance to explore more decisions and s...

Patreon Devlog update 013: Credits screen, modal view and story progress

Hello everyone! We’ve been hard at work since the release of the last update, and after a convention and some minor inconveniences we have some progress to show y’all!

Credits Screen

Finally got around to edit the credits screen so that it can show all the collaborators of the project in a better way, but it also shows all of your names with the respective supporter tier <3

📢Annoucement: Side character auction📢

Hello everyone!

In the next update, we will be introducing our first incidental side character in the story, And you can be them!

These are minor roles in the game, with some dialogue lines in a few scenes! We will design the character and create a sprite with expressions and outfits, along with a side portrait to go along in the game's UI.

This will basically work like a YCH, if you're familiar with them.

NOTE: This auction is only available fo...

Patreon Devlog update 011: Poll Results!

So after a surprising last minute tie between the last two boys, we had to resolve this with a coin toss, or rather a wheel spin.

Lachlan will be the next character to get an update to his route!


We’re very excited to start move into this one and start working more story, sprites, CGs and all that jazz :3

Patreon Devlog update 009: Struggles and Bad Timing

Hello everyone! We are just around the corner with the next update, and it’s been a bit of a sobering experience, and a lesson in many regards.

Finished CGs

Erza’s route CGs are finished, and with that all that’s left is polishing up details of the main script file, tightening up scene transitions and other animations present on the update, making sure the music and the voice acting is set up accordingly, and after that, testing and publishing the update.

The backgrounds are finally finished, and while they took longer than we thought they would (there was a lot of layering involved for future implementations 👀💦), they’re looking fly and cute! perfect locations for dates and good moments, don’t you think?

And we're back!

Hello everyone, as you may have noticed, in the past couple months the development of the game has slowed down significantly. A lot of factors, both in our personal and professional lives made it very hard for us to be consistent with our progress.

In one hand, Bha'qu went through a very involved mental health treatment, and I (Mangolynx), had a lot of work commitments and personal obligations one after another that left us with almost no time to work on the game without compromising b...

Patreon Devlog update 007: Backgrounds, character and auctions!

Hello everyone! We haven’t posted an update in a while, so this will be a bit lengthy hehe. There’s a lot of other stuff that’s difficult to show, because it either would spoil the story, or it’s just boring code, so We’ll just be showing you art for now xP


New Backgrounds

With the new chapter, a whole list of new assets need to be created, and now that we planned and ironed out the main parts of this upcoming chapter, we can finally move onto creating the n...

Announcement: Discord server is now available to the public

Well, for this one it is exactly what it says on the tin. We're opening the discord server to the public, of course making sure to keep the Patreon exclusive sections and channels intact, like the livestreams, WIPs and art sections.

With this we hope to create a place for discussion of the game itself, as well as to provide a channel to address issues, and of course to foster a nice and adorable community that shares a passion for games of the narrative and adult ...

Patreon Devlog update 004: CGs

Hello everyone! We have another somewhat late, somewhat short update on the Game’s development!

Taisei’s CGs are currently being made, and they’re coming along well!

This is the way we create CGs here: The main subject is divided in different parts (torso, head, limbs, tail, outfits, etc) from the beginning, and then inked that way, using layer masks on each parts respective folder to match either the layering of the parts, or the perspective needed for a specific part of ...

Patreon Devlog update 003: Android port

Here we go, yet another late update this week! But enough of that, let’s get to the juicy details!

Android port is good to go!

Finally, after a hard couple of weeks of bug squashing and user experience optimization, the port for Android devices is finished. <3

It’s interesting how it kind of became a process of adapting most of the functionalities of the interface to be able to work on a touch-enabled device. We had to make little adjustments to many things, like th...

Patreon Devlog update 001: Backgrounds and sprites!

Well, this is the very first Devlog update we’ll be posting weekly (hopefully!). Since the updates are gonna be taking longer than we anticipated, we decided to start making little written updates of the stuff that’s coming up, so that you guys aren’t left in the dark and can join in the discussion of the game development as it happens!

Time for the first update!


Alright! things have been particularly busy and chaotic at both ends of the studio (both Bahqu and me) both during December and at the beginning of the year, in January, making the development stagnate a little bit. However we thought it'd be a good idea to reassure you that we've been working as hard as we can right now with this post!


We're close to finishing the planned stuff for the story, plus a couple of extra goodies that people have asked for in the feedback channels sin...
