Build 3, Patreon Release

Hi y'all. It's Bowser.

It's done. Thank god it's finally done. Patreon version for Build 3 is up and running.

In typical Bowser fashion, it's a couple hours past midnight, so I'm technically a little late. But it's here, nonetheless!


For all intents and purposes, this version is 98% complete. Here are the only things missing:

  • Missing the general vocalizations (voice acting as sound effects) for Days 1-4 (it's 100% complete for Day 5).
  • Missing ...

Cute Corey Commission + Build 3 Updates

Hey y'all! Bowser again. Doing a good ol' two-for-one kinda post!

First of all, please enjoy this Corey art done by the lovely https://twitter.com/campfire_donut

Next, it seems I'm on track for the Sept 10 release! All the voice lines have been recorded (finally 😭) and now I'm working on making sure everything is integrated and I create the soundscape I'm looking for.

I've said this 100 times alrea...

Build 3 Progress

Hi friends! Bowser again.

Hope everyone’s August is going well so far. I just got back from a much needed vacation and am ready to get back to work!

Just want to update you all on Build 3 progress. I have all the recording dates for our voice actors booked, so there’s a light at the end of the tunnel!

After we record the last lines, I’ll be finishing up the sound design, and brushing up all the other blemishes I can find.

I’m projecting a Patreon release date o...

Build 3 Review Copy, Now Live!

Hello, my lovely Lydians and dear Dorians :3. Bowser again.

Been crunching all night to get as much of this done as possible. There's still some polishing and voice recording to do, but that aside, it's pretty much done.

Since this is a review copy, please understand the following:

  • We're still missing some voice acting. We'll be (hopefully) wrapping up recording sessions in August.
  • There may be some typo's or other blemishes. If you catch any of them, you're m...

Quick Build 3 Update

Hi friends! It's Bowser.

Just want to give you all an update. So, I 100% intend to upload a review copy for Build 3 by Aug 11. At that point, whatever is done will be uploaded. Once again, this review copy will be available for everyone at Lydian and Dorian tier!

Here's what's done:

  • 100% of the art.
  • 100% of the writing.
  • (Almost) 100% of the new tunes (one of them needs some revisions)
  • Chester, Darrell, and Trent's voice lines.

Build 3 Update!

Hi friends! It's Bowser.

I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've last talked to all of you here. Life's been a whirlwind the past few months. I've had to deal with my coworker passing in May, then my uncle in June, and all the emotional fallout surrounding these events. That said, I'm still pushing through. I'm so grateful for all the support the ChoPro fans have given me along the way.

First of all, I just want to thank all of you for your continued support of ChoPro. It means ...

(Spoiler warning for Build 3) New Hi-res CG's :3

Hello, my lovely Lydians :3. I got some treats for you! If you've not read Build 3's draft copy yet and don't want to be spoilered, here's your fair warning to ignore this post until you do.

The 4k versions of Eddy's toying scene are here for your enjoyment. Cream also finished up the new scenes from the Velour Lounge. Really happy with how these came out!! 

As a little bonus, I added a Darrell pride edit that I wasn't able to publish last month because the flag he wears is a...

Review Copy Now Available!

Hello my Chromatic Cuties and Dear Dorians :3.

Review copy for Build 3 is up! If you'd like access, you can bump up your pledge to Lydian tier for this month and read it today. You're more than welcome to raise your pledge for one month, then go back to your current tier for the next.

As of now, I'm unsure of our current release schedule for Build 3. There's been a lot of bumps in the road, and I'm worried about promising a date I can't keep.

That said, I believe the early-a...

Some notes on your draft copy Build 3

Hey guys, last night I was too tired to give you some notes on the build. A few of you have read this already, so feel free to skip this post if you've already checked it out!

  • There's a scene where you'll see MC's outfit you picked out for him. I accidentally switched up the vest and bomber jacket outfit. This was a mislabeled image file, so your save and outfit status won't be affected.
  • The second CG and Velour Lounge BG are still WIP's. Cream's working hard on polishing...

Hello my lovliest of Lydians πŸ’–

Goofy Pride PNG's + Some Updates

Hey y'all! Just giving you all the high res PNG's for the little pride sprites I made for the 5k Twitter follows graphic :3.

Aside from that here's what's going on:

- The exclusive copy of build 3 WILL be uploaded for Lydian tier subscribers by Friday (6/30). To me, it's not refined enough to call it a proper "review" copy. So it'll a be a "draft" copy instead. A lot of work still needs to be done, but the story is all written out, the character sprites are (mostly) done, and one ...

More Progress on Build 3

Hi guys. Bowser again.

Just want to give some small updates on Build 3.

I've compiled the first Draft Copy that's been sent out to the creative team for review. It's not polished enough for my standards of a review copy, but we're making progress!

I also have to deal with a new obstacle to my progress. Last week, my uncle passed away suddenly. All this week, we're preparing the funeral and viewings, and then there's all the associated fallout that comes with the death of a f...

Silly Pride Edits

Hey y'all :3. It's Bowser.

I've been working on brushing up on my photoshop skills and have been practicing with these sprite edits.

Fun fact, a lot of the expressions and clothes you've seen in ChoPro were edits made by me! By doing these little practices, it helps me take some pressure off of Drake.

Silly side note, orange in hanky code means "down for anything" πŸ˜‰πŸ§‘

Silly sprite edits aside, I just want to go over the general plan for this month.

First and foremost, the goal this month is to get out a review copy. We're definitely on track to getting a review copy ready before the month's over. The writing's done, the coding work is underway.

Drake, Rinzy, and Cream are also hard at work on their new assignments. Everyone on the art team is on tr...

Small Life Update & How This'll Impact Build 3

Hi, everyone. It's Bowser.

There's been a recent shake-up in my personal life and I just want to fill everyone in on what's happening. A beloved coworker of mine passed away suddenly yesterday. He was someone who I talked with almost every weekday. We worked closely together on a lot of projects over the past couple years. He was a good friend and a great mentor. I'll be missing him dearly.

For those who don't know, I work for a very small company for my day job. We only have four...

Meet Corey Friedman!

May the 4th be with you on this glorious character reveal day!

Meet Corey, everyone! He's a spunky corgi with a fiery temper, but a kind heart. He's a local bartender and is very good at what he does. He'll make you a mean cocktail and charm your pants off in the process.

My current plan for Corey is to have him join Vin as a prominent side character. Vin will be more active in Darrell's story while Corey will be more active in Chester's.

This concept art was drawn by Cream!...

(Poll!) Thoughts on Day 5

Hi friends! I want to post this before April Fool's day just to make sure y'all don't think I'm joking around πŸ˜…. Also, some of you have pledges that are ending today, so I want to make sure I get your opinion before you go!

So, it looks like day 5 is going to be a bit of a long one! Around 30K words at this time (about 3 hours of reading for average readers). For context, build 2 was about 15k.

We'd like to know what everyone's preference is. Would you prefer to have Day 5 sp...
