Short Story: [Emberfate] Home

Hey everyone!

Final reward post for this month: a short story of Emberfate, this time starring Nathan ft. some members of the guild! I kind of really like how it turned out, so I hope you enjoy this little story too!

The incessant ringing of cheerful tune brings a frown to your face even before your consciousness fully returns. The melody sounds familiar — one that should mean something to you but is currently lost upon your drowsy mind at the moment.  2023-12-01 07:59:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Script Snippet: [Reanimation Scheme - Aldrias] Mysterious Lady

Hey everyone!

Since this month was mostly spent on editing and polishing the current three beta routes based on beta feedback, the script snippet preview for this month is a little more boring — this is a small portion in Ch.14 of Aldrias' route that was rewritten to improve the foreshadowing & be more in line with the characters' personalities and reactions. 

If you've played the beta build before, you might be able to guess who this mysterious lady is. If not, any gue...

Future Plans #20

Hi everyone!

So for the second part of the future project sneak peek post this month, we have another outfits preview of a love interest — this time, it's the Deity of Seasons and Beginnings!

Isn't she beautiful? 🥺As a judge rather than participant of the trials, she doesn't have a trial combat outfit like the Ascendants but has a formal vs more casual dress instead.

Exclusive Sneak Peek: [Reanimation Scheme] Lyrissa Voice Acting

Hey everyone! 

For this month's sneak peek, I have something a little different than usual. Instead of an art asset preview, I have a small video clip of a CG scene with Lyrissa with her voice lines implemented! I just received Lyrissa's voice lines this week from the voice director, so I'm really excited to share this with you!

The voice lines still need to go through a bit of audio engineering to improve the sound quality a bit more, but due to personal issues on the voice ...

[Public] Devlog #2

Hey everyone! 

Sorry to keep you all waiting for this month's devlog post. I've unfortunately been sick, so this kind of slipped my mind until now. 

I'm sure you're not here to listen to my whining about how much it sucks to be sick though, so let's get to the interesting announcements!

Kierdan's Route Released for Beta

The main highlight of the past month is that...

Future Plans #19

Hey everyone! 

This is the first reward post for this month (November). First up is Part 1 of the Future Plans post, which is a preview of the next project in line after Reanimation Scheme, the xianxia otome project Fate of the Celestial Mirror!

If you have no idea what that is, here is a link to a previous post with a very simple overview of the project: https://www.patreon.com/posts/f...

Beta Build: [Reanimation Scheme] Kierdan Chapter 13-15

Hey everyone! 

I'm so sorry for the delays. I've been sick as a dog these past two weeks, with one thing after another happening like the universe just really hated me and didn't want me to catch a break. 

I've finally wrapped up the last bits of coding for Kierdan's route, so here it is! The last two chapters + endings for his route have been added to the newest beta build!

So far, this route is the longest out of all 5 because of the complexity of the plot in the...

Future Plans #18

Hey everyone! 

This will be the last reward post I can push out today before the Patrons' access cuts off for this month at midnight PST, I think 😭 For those of you who are on $15+ tier and above, I'm super sorry about the delay on the short story for this month & beta update. I'll get them out in the next couple of days, and if you've deleted your pledge and won't be staying a Patron for next month to access those posts, no worries, I'll send you a private message containin...

Exclusive Sneak Peek: [Reanimation Scheme] Jori's Route CG

Hey everyone! Now that Kierdan's route is basically complete, the next route up is Jori's! 

I don't think I've really shown off his CGs other than the one in the trailer, so for this month's sneak peek, I'll show a cropped preview of one of the CGs in his route, completely out of context 😂

Any guesses on what's happening in this scene? 👀

As always, thank you so much for ...

Script Snippet: [Reanimation Scheme - Kierdan] Death Magic

Hey everyone! Happy Halloween! 🎃

I guess depending on the way you look at it, Reanimation Scheme is kindddd of Halloween-y with the whole necromancers and ghosts thing? 🤔So perhaps it's fitting that I'm making these preview posts on the day of Halloween 😂

Anyway, here is the script snippet preview for this month -- a short part of a scene in Kierdan's Chapter 13! Obvious warning: spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution! 

Also, on the note of Kierdan's route —...

Poll: [Ascendants] Customizable MC

Okay, so as title says, this poll is related to Ascendants, one of the 2 projects lined up for the future. And this is a V IMPORTANT thing I want to ask for you folks' opinions on. I know this is a sudden poll but this is a sudden opportunity that arose so!

Basically, if you've read the preview posts for Ascendants, you may know that the game is intended to have a customizable MC in terms of names / pronouns / origin background / skill specialty etc. Similar to Emberfate, MC is not a pr...

Future Plans #17

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for continuing to support the Patreon! Here is the Part 1 of 2 of the sneak peek previews of future upcoming projects for this month — and we're kicking it off again with my extremely self-indulgent xianxia project (Fate of the Celestial Mirror) 🤣

I don't have much to say this post though, because I'll let the art speak for itself 👀

Meet the first love interest of the game, Pei Wen!

[Public] Devlog #1

Introduction

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for reading this post! 

I found out recently that Patreon released a new feature that lets you set your Patreon to allow fans to join the community for free and receive access to free posts, which automatically converts any previous Patrons who cancelled their pledges as well. I've decided I'll start doing monthly devlog posts for the free community tier, available to the public, and here is the first one!

So if you're rece...

Short Story: [Emberfate] Tilted

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the delay on this post. I thought I had posted this already but I just realized today that I did not. 😭 This is the short story post meant for September's reward, so another short story will be coming later in the month for this month's reward. 

I hope you enjoy this silly little story!

Beta Build: [Reanimation Scheme] Kierdan Chapter 12

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for continuing to support the Patreon for another month! First up, as promised, here is a quick update to the Reanimation Scheme beta build, adding Chapter 12 of Kierdan's route. 

This is quite a long chapter — the longest one so far in all three routes, clocking in at >15k words — though there's quite a bit of branching going on in this chapter, so you wouldn't see all 15k words of it in one playthrough of course. 

This new c...

Future Plans #16

Hey everyone!

Another reward post coming right up! Here is this month's sneak peek of the future project, Ascendants. 👀

This time, we have Deity of Night, Dreams and Illusions, and his two outfits. 

As you can tell, one is decidedly more casual (...and revealing LOL), while one is more formal and proper, mainly reserved for more serious grand ceremonies / gatherings (and fa...

Exclusive Sneak Peek: [Reanimation Scheme] Item Art for Kierdan's Route

Hey everyone! 

So the sneak peek post for this month is something I've alluded to already in the past — I ended up commissioning a few more item art pieces for the game, since I feel like some key instrumental objects being shown on screen rather than only described in text would really enhance the experience. 

Spoilers ahead, of course, so proceed reading with caution.

The three additional items for Kierdan's route are complete! An hourglass, an ointment jar, an...

Script Snippet: [Reanimation Scheme - Kierdan] We Need to Talk

If the title instilled you with ominous dread, then congrats, your guess is correct 😂 Looks like the calm before the storm is finally over, and something's going down between our two protags in the next chapter of Kierdan's route...

Slight spoilers ahead in this script snippet, so proceed with caution!

I draw in a shaky breath, then reach into my pocket to retrieve my mirror.

Almost immediately, Kierdan's face drifts into view on the stirring surface of the mirr...

Beta Build: [Reanimation Scheme] Kierdan Chapters 10-11

Hey everyone! 

It's time for another beta update for Reanimation Scheme!

*sobs* I really wanted to get Kierdan's Chapter 12 out for the beta update tonight too, but I don't think I'll make it on time because of some pesky bugs. So for now, please enjoy Chapters 10-11 for Kierdan's route. 

How can you romance an early without a quintessential ballroom scene? N...
