Hey everyone!
We're closing in on the end of the month again, so it's once again Patreon rewards time!
For this month's preview post on Fate of the Celestial Mirror (my next project, a xianxia otome/BL game), I want to introduce and talk a bit about one feature of the game: the glossary system.
Are you not familiar with the xianxia genre in gen...

Here is the short story for this month โ the last instalment in the series of pet chaos, this time starring Nathan and our favorite cat, Wobbles! As with the last few stories, this was drafted by Anna 'Lavinnia' Koลczak and then edited by me.
Unfortunately, I'll need a little bit more time with the next beta build update for Reanimation Scheme, but I hope to get that up by tomorrow or ...

So small change of plans โ I originally said this month's sneak peek would be an Emberfate art preview, but I received some progress updates on Sebastien's 3rd CG this month, and I really wanted to share this with you all first since the release of Sebastien's route comes earlier than the Emberfate DLC.
Without further ado, check out this rough sketch as a preview of the CG! ๐

Hi everyone!
For the first reward post for this month, I'd like to share a feature of my next game (xianxia game called Fate of the Celestial Mirror) with you all that I'm really proud and fond of!
You may have seen in a previous post that the game revolves around a point and click map and quests-based branching narrative structure. I mentioned last time that there's a special kind...

This is the last short story for this month โ the actual story for April 2024. Whew, I've finally caught up on all the late short story rewards. ๐ญ Thank you so much to everyone for your patience!
Anyway, so this story is another silly story in the series of pet chaos, this time featuring Chris and the beloved Coach! Again, it was drafted by Anna 'Lavinnia' Koลczak and then edited by...

Just a simple sneak peek preview this time. I commissioned a couple of additional item art pieces to spice up the routes more, so here's a preview of two added to Lyrissa's route! ๐
What could that mysterious cube be? ๐คI guess you'd have to play Lyrissa's route to...

Alright, this is the second last story to be posted this month. It's the start of a new series with the Emberfate characters โ pet chaos!
First up, we have Khanyisa's story, which will make up for the story that should be posted last month (Mar 2024). As with before, this short story is mostly written by Anna 'Lavinnia' Koลczak and edited by me.
I hope you all enjoy!

Hey everyone!
Another short story coming right up โ this is the last story in the series of 'In Game Dates' with each of the Emberfate love interests, starring Chris and also featuring some of the lovelies from the guild!
As with the last one, this short story is mostly written by Anna 'Lavinnia' Koลczak and edited by me. This should be the missing story for Jan 2024!
I hope you all enjoy! 2024-04-30 15:26:07 +0000 UTC View Post

Here's another short story in the series of 'In Game Dates' with each of the Emberfate love interests. This time, it's Nathan's turn!
As with the last one, this short story is mostly written by my friend Anna 'Lavinnia' Koลczak and edited by me. This one should make up for the missing short story from Dec 2023.
I hope you all enjoy this story!

So if you've been keeping up with the monthly short stories rewards, you'll probably have noticed that a few months got skipped in the past because I was too tied up with dev work on Reanimation Scheme.
I keep trying but failing to find time to make up for them, so I ended up commissioning a writer friend of mine to do the first draft of these short stories, and I'll just edit instead, so that it's a lot faster on my end.
So this is the first story to make u...

Hi everyone!
I'm back with another devlog. I'm sorry for not posting devlogs for a while โ it kind of slipped my mind among all the craziness that was holiday season (Christmas - New Year - Chinese New Year) ๐ญ
As with before, my dev focus is still on Reanimation Scheme. The game is getting very close to completion, and I'm tentatively hoping for a Q3 release this year! A quick recap of the progress:

Thank you so much for your patience ๐ The next chapters of Jori's route are now ready โ and more Jori shenanigans for you to enjoy!
Now unfortunately, I lied after all about how last build would be the final one that you have to redownload from itch.io and can use the in-game updater afterwards. I did some early launch prep for Reanimation Scheme this month, which ended up in the need to overhaul a big chunk of the backend code & files setup / organization...

So this quick message is mainly for the Patrons who have cancelled their pledge this month so their access to these posts will expire in checks clock like 10 minutes. ๐
Unfortunately, I need a little more time to get the next Reanimation Scheme beta build update & the Emberfate short story ready, so I won't be able to post them in time tonight. But for those of you who will be losing access soon, please don't worry, I'll PM you once these two things ...

Here's the script snippet preview for this month. A small change of pace โ here is a small excerpt from Sebastien's route!
As usual, this may or may not be changed in the full version of the game after I do editing / rewriting, or hell, it might get scrapped altogether. But for now, I hope you enjoy this small snippet anyway!
Thank you so much for supporting the Patreon!

Since I showed the WIP sketch of Jori's CG for last month, the sneak peek preview for this month will be the complete version of the CG! This is also the last CG for Jori's route, which means all of the art for Jori's route is now complete (and we're 3 CGs away from finishing all of the art for the entire game!)
Hopefully next month, I'll get to show a sketch of Sebastien's CG, but for now, I hope you like this preview of Jori's CG!

I'm sorry this beta build update has taken so long โ and in the end, this month's update will still only contain the first chapter of Jori's route.
The reason is that I'm still kind of struggling with Chapter 5's editing because I don't really like one scene, but I can't figure out how to make it better still. ๐ญ So for now, I think I'll upload Chapter 4 first, and then add Chapter 5 & 6 as soon as I figure out wtf I'm doing with that one Chapter ...
2024-03-01 04:50:19 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!
Even in a leap year, February will always feel too short to me. I can't believe the month is already over, but thank God I remembered that I still need to make Patreon reward posts before it's too late.
Anyway, here's the preview for this month of the next project in line after Reanimation Scheme, the xianxia otome game, Fate of the Celestial Mirror!

A couple reasons:
Hey everyone!
This month's sneak peek will be *drum rolls* another preview of Kierdan's voice acting!
I just received the lines from Kierdan's voice actor a couple days ago, which I've sent off to the audio engineer for further polishing. But for now, let's have a quick test of how he sounds in game paired with a CG scene, shall we?

Sorry for cutting it so close to the end of month access deadline with these reward posts. The past few weeks have been... extraordinarily busy due to holidays as well as family issues.
