Exclusive Sneak Peek: [Reanimation Scheme] New CG Frame

Hi everyone! 

Thank you so much for your patience in waiting for this month's reward posts! I've been focusing on polishing and getting Lyrissa's final beta build ready, and before I know it, it's the end of the month already 😂 But anyway, here I am with this month's sneak peek post! 

So as you may know, Kierdan's route is the next route being released for beta (and his first three chapters are already up on the beta build!). During last round of rewrites and coding, ...

Future Plans #12

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for supporting the Patreon for another month! 

For this month's future project preview post, I'll be showing off more Ascendants art — another character's alternate outfit! 

Starting from next month or perhaps September though, I'll likely be making two future project preview posts a month — the second new project I've got lined up is starting to come along really nicely in the art department, and since I plan to (hopefully) be able to ...

Beta Build: [Reanimation Scheme] Lyrissa Chapter 12

Hey everyone! 

Just a quick Part 1/2 update for this month regarding the beta build. As promised, I've added Chapter 12 of Lyrissa's route to the beta build! 

This new chapter includes more action, a cute date and one new CG!

Short Story: [Emberfate] Shadow

Hey everyone!

Last reward post for Patreon for June! This month, I come bearing a silly short story of Nathan wanting to add a new member to your family in the form of a small feline creature. I hope you all enjoy this!

"Sunshine? Are you there?" You hear the voice of your boyfriend, Nathan, faintly above the melodic tune in your ears. Surprised, you slide your headphones off as you call back. "Yeah! What is it? Everything okay?"

"Meow?" The cat curled on your lap ...

Script Snippet: [Reanimation Scheme - Lyrissa]

Hey everyone!

One more reward post coming right up! This is the script snippet preview for this month (June), which is an excerpt from Chapter 13 of Lyrissa's route, coming in the next beta build in July.

I thought it's a kind of funny but cute scene without giving away too many spoilers, so I wanted to share this with you all early 👀

Raenelle: We're not getting paid enough for this, I tell you!

It works — Lyrissa chuckles at my dramatic...

Exclusive Sneak Peek: [Reanimation Scheme] Last Secret Side Character

Hi everyone! 

For this month's sneak peek, I'm back with another preview of the final side character in Reanimation Scheme that has not yet been revealed so far. 

You'll be meeting him soon in the second half of Kierdan's route, which should come in July or August!

Any guesses on who this may be? Or are you already lamenting the fact that he's not romanceable? ;D  2023-07-01 04:12:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Future Plans #11

Hi everyone! 

Thanks for supporting the Patreon for another month! As the poll last month had a majority vote of more sneak peeks of Ascendants for now, I'll be revealing more art previews for Ascendants for this month! 

Have I mentioned before that the cast of love interests each have two outfits? You've seen the first default outfit in the initial introductions posts — and now, you'll get to see their cool second outfits, starting with Ascendants of Shadows, Memories...

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

Hey everyone! Sorry about the long wait! 

As we're approaching the climax for Lyrissa's route, I've been trying to finetune it and make more edits and adjustments to ensure everything makes sense and the finale will be satisfying. As a result, I ended up needing more time to work on the chapters this month, which means that unfortunately, I'll only be able to release Chapters 10 and 11 of Lyrissa's route for beta this month. 

I'm almost done with Lyrissa's Chapter 12, ju...

Short Story: [Emberfate] Sick Day

Hey everyone!

Last reward post for Patreon for May! Here's the last short story in the previous installment of the Pet Name theme — Khanyisa's story! I'm actually quite happy with how this turned out, because it turned out softer and sweeter than I expected LOL 

I hope you all enjoy this!

"Careful, Khanyisa. Let me just turn on the lights — ow!" You let out a small hiss of pain as your arm bumps painfully into the surprisingly sharp edge of the sho...

Exclusive Sneak Peek: [Reanimation Scheme] Yet Another Secret Side Character

Hey everyone! 

With the beta phase for Reanimation Scheme underway, I figured it's time for me to reveal some of these secret side characters that were never shown before because of plot reasons. 

So for this month's (May) sneak peek post, have a preview of a side character that will appear soon in the second half of Lyrissa's route!

Any guesses on who she is and how she ...

Script Snippet: [Reanimation Scheme - Lyrissa] Horse Riding

Hey everyone!

Here's the exclusive script snippet preview for this month (May)! An excerpt from Chapter 10 of Lyrissa's route, which will be coming in the beta build update next month~ It's gonna be a cute scene, I promise 👀

----

"I grimace, all too aware that I'm about to make a fool of myself climbing on this horse, just like every other time. The fact that Lyrissa will be right here watching me flail around makes it worse."

"Still, I have to face this sooner or l...

Beta Build: [Reanimation Scheme] Kierdan Chapters 4-6

[Poll] Future Plans: Project

So as you might know if you're in the WCG Discord server, I currently have two projects lined up after Reanimation Scheme's completion, which I've been slowly planning & commissioning art for over the years since 2019 — one is Ascendants, which I've been revealing in these monthly Future Plans posts. 

The second one is starting to come along a bit art-wise and is getting ready to be revealed, so I wanted to throw up a poll and see what people are more interested in for now: m...

Future Plans #10

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for supporting the Patreon for another month!

This future project preview post took way longer this month because I'm not sure what to show off anymore LOL After thinking about it, maybe I'll just reveal another side character or two this time, even if it's not too exciting.

I'm also going to be throwing up a special poll after this post to see which project you guys want to hear more about — continue with Ascendants previews, or do you want to he...

Beta Build: [Reanimation Scheme] Lyrissa Chapters 7-9

Hey everyone! 

Sorry about this beta build taking longer than expected! I'm still trying to polish and do some last minute edits and rewriting because my perfectionist ass won't stop, so... LOL 

I didn't want to keep you all waiting for too long, so I'll throw up Lyrissa's chapters 7-9 first to the same link as before! Kierdan's Chapters 4-6 will come around the end of the week or at the very latest end of the month.

Short Story: [Reanimation Scheme] Meeting Parents [Kierdan]

Hey everyone! 

Last reward post for Patreon for this month! While there's still one short story (Khanyisa's) left for the Pet Names series of short stories, I wanted to do something a little different this month — with Kierdan's first few chapters for beta being pushed back to next month, I wanted to post this short story of his this month instead as an apology to Kierdan fans. This is a very belated instalment in the Reanimation Scheme short story series of meeting the parents p...

Script Snippet: [Reanimation Scheme - Kierdan]

Hey everyone! 

If you saw my post announcing the beta phase for Lyrissa and Kierdan, you'll probably have heard that I was originally hoping to get Kierdan's chapters 4-6 up for Patreon by the end of this month. It looks like I need a little more time than expected due to some issues with the code, so I'll be delaying the release of his first three chapters to next month — probably sometime mid or late May along with Lyrissa's chapters 7-9 release. I'm really sorry about the dela...

Beta Build: [Reanimation Scheme] Lyrissa Chapters 4-6

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since we've done episodic beta build updates, huh? While I know most of you might be here because of Emberfate, I hope you'd be interested in giving my next otome project, Reanimation Scheme, a shot anyway!

If you've been keeping up with updates on Reanimation Scheme, you might have already heard that I'll be releasing Lyrissa and Kierdan's routes for beta in parts. The first part is now here — containing Chapters 4 to 6 of Lyrissa's route! I'm ho...

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for supporting this Patreon for another month! First reward for this month is another early sneak peek at Ascendants, the next project to come after Reanimation Scheme.

For today's post, I'll be revealing the first and my favorite side character of the project: your very own golem personal attendant! 

Yup, you heard me right — you get a cute golem to be your companion during your stay at the palace and in the Trials. While it's not very...

Script Snippet: [Reanimation Scheme - Lyrissa] Mother-Daughter Relationship

Hey everyone! 

With the alpha build of Lyrissa's route coming next month to Patreon, I guess it's only fitting that the script snippet of this month is another excerpt from an early chapter in Lyri's route as a teaser~ 

Here's a bit of a tense scene that highlights Lyrissa's strained relationship with her mother, which will be an important part of Lyrissa's arc in her route.

Short Story: [Emberfate] Caller Display

Hey everyone! 

Sorry this took so long. I've been busy getting the alpha build of the first few chapters of Lyrissa's route ready -- which, by the way, will be released next month for all Patrons of $15 tier and above! So keep an eye out if you plan on staying around for another month! 

Anyway, here's a short story of Emberfate -- this time, a story of Nathan with the theme of cute pet names! 

Thank you so much for the support, and I hope you all enjoy this! 2023-04-01 04:37:58 +0000 UTC View Post

For absolutely no reason at all *cough budget planning for a future project cough*, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter! 

Hypothetically, if I only have the budget to do ONE of the following things to add additional polish / details / content to a game that's not exactly essential to the experience, which would you as a player / consumer like to see more? 

Let me know what your preference would be! It'll help me figure out what areas to focus and allocate my bu...

Exclusive Sneak Peek: [Reanimation Scheme] Secret Side Character

Hey everyone! 

If you keep up with my monthly update posts on Kickstarter for Reanimation Scheme, you'll have seen that last month, I mentioned commissioning a sprite for an additional side character due to changes in the script after rewrites that gave her a more important role. 

Well, I'm here with a preview of this secret new side character! Crystal has only finished the design sketch so far, but I'm already in love with how it turned out and couldn't wait to share! 2023-03-26 11:41:20 +0000 UTC View Post

Short Story: [Emberfate] Pet Name

Hey everyone! 

After being inspired by a random conversation in the Discord server, I decided to write a more light-hearted short story for Emberfate this month. I haven't decided whether to turn this into a themed series yet with one story for each love interest, so let me know your thoughts! 

In any case, I hope you all enjoy this silly little story!

Exclusive Sneak Peek: Video Call with Potato [Variation]

Hey everyone! 

The end of the month is so quickly creeping up on me that I almost forgot, but here's the sneak peek reward post for this month — the variation of Potato's video call CG with *gasp* his daughter, Izzy! 

With how important Izzy is to Potato, it's only fair that she shows up in game for you to meet her even if briefly~

PS: Emberfate is now released on Steam too if you didn't know, so if you have the time, please consider downloading the game on Steam...
