Please? You promise Rebecca? You promise, right, you promise? Emily pleaded, rushing over to the door. The petite girls body language implied she was going to stand firm at the threshold and let no one enter until Rebecca agreed to remain silent about her discoveries. You can talk about how hes got this harem now, because he totally does. Just dont say anything about magic just yet? Please please please?
I can wait and see how its affecting everyone? Rebecca gave her...

After a short session and some mild discomfort with a doctor gently examining her wrist and hand, Tabitha’s temporary brace was replaced with another cast. The weight of it was almost familiar, it was fragrant in that peculiar way only new casts are, and at her request it was once again blue. The only complaint she had about it was how bare it looked—completely bereft of her friend’s signatures. That would be fixed as soon as she could find someone with a mark...

Several days had passed since revealing her story to Elena, and Tabitha was getting more antsy by the moment. The teenage girl sighed, brushing her red tangle back from her face with her good hand and tucking her hair behind one ear as she surveyed her boring room within Springton General Hospital’s inpatient ward. The decor was bright and clean but in a forced cheer way, somehow sterile of coziness and comforts to put her mind at ease.

While her day one outfit of tank top and skinny jeans is deceptively simple, it seemed smart to get a head start on designing some of the day two costumes and clothing because of their complexity; bloomers, Calamity Queen dress, yoga pants and Rolling Phones band tee.

Stephanie almost tripped, stumbling over her own feet as part of her mind opened up to a chestnut-streaked forest of wide, sturdy trunks and ancient limbs, and the pink-haired girl nearly dropped the drink-carrier containing the coffees and hot cocoas.
Whoa, there, Brian remarked, steadying her free hand. You alright?
Having collected their order, the two were rather leisurely threading their way back through the city towards the hotel. Brian carried a take-out ba...

Continuing right along with the May backgrounds, here's the tiny enclosure of the bathroom in Brian's hotel room. Surprisingly, this one had the most changes of all of our backgrounds so far, I had to ask him to completely redraw this one.

Shockingly, the Ecchi set won out in the poll for May backgrounds, so we're starting out with a close angle of the bed and chair where Brian, Stephanie, and Kelly play truth or dare. With the nighttime lighting version of Brian's Hotel Room to set up an establishing shot, we now also have this to set an even more intimate scene as the characters get up to dangerous games.

Elena didn’t know what to think when Mrs. Seelbaugh dropped off her and Alicia at Springton General Hospital to visit with Tabitha for a few hours. There wasn’t any secret Elena could think of that would justify what had happened, nothing that could absolve Elena of her own wrongdoing. But, against her better judgement, she hadn’t pressed the subject, instead allowing Alicia to defer the explanation to Tabitha.

Easy for my enthusiasm to exceed my means here, so I'm budgeting three background scenes a month for the AnimeCon Harem Eroge project. VIP patrons and up will get a poll just like this a week in advance of the month to decide what we want to see next! Before game release, this gives us more options for our first alpha version. After release, it'll give us monthly updates that focus on expanding a specific new area to explore.

Chloe may disdain cheap hotel rooms, but I think they have a certain kind of cozy charm to them. Staying at fancier, more upscale accommodations often feels like a waste to me when my trip's focusing on the convention itself.
Feel like our artist did a great job here, because the scene definitely evokes a strong sense of familiarity. Most of us have probably stayed in this exact room at some point or another.

“Elena… I’ve already lived out a different life, one that went past 1998,” Tabitha revealed in a slow voice.
“She’s from the future!” Alicia blurted out.

“She’s from the future!” Alicia said again. “Like, she’s ...

Go go go bg artist, shine bright like a burning star!
This artist might quickly outpace the character design artist, but that's probably okay. Gonna move a bit more of April's production budget towards this guy, because having a strong foundation of scenes for the start of this project is absolutely not a bad thing. This one's just a simple hall right now, I figure it can be one of several that connect the more critical locales. This one in particular will feature the upper lev...

OLD Character Designs
The first character artist for our project, Zaphryon completed thirteen character design sheets and fourteen special illustrations... and then quit without warning in April of 2021. So as not to have wildly incompatible art styles, we are replacing all of the Zaphryon art assets. However, as we spent a full year and multiple order iterations refining the specifics of each cosplay design, outfit, hairstyle, and general character appearances, Zaphryon's work remain...

I don’t play games, Lucas Macrae told himself as he stared at the garish lights and neon colors flickering across the row of widescreen TVs set up in AnimeCon’s first game room. He’d told himself he didn’t play games in patient repetition all throughout the weekend, and it had in fact become his mantra for well over a year, now. When his boss, the Radio 82.99 program director, proposed this weekend excursion last month, Lucas had told the man. He didn’t pl...

Kelly listened patiently to the hushed whispers and rustling of clothes as Brian and Stephanie put on attire for a morning outing, and she strained her ears not-so-patiently each time the two seemed to get distracted from getting ready to make out. Which happened frequently, and consisted of tense silence, heavy breathing, small, almost inaudible wet noises, and an occasional gasp from Stephanie.
When they finally left, with the reliable click of the doors automatic lock enga...

It was a long trek back through the woods towards the pair of broken and discarded goblin corpses in the ravine, and Tabitha slowed to a quiet stalking creep as she neared. The treeline on both slopes was obscured by ferny undergrowth, the unexplored goblin warren was a possible threat, and her heart was racing at the potential danger of being ambushed by the survivors of the raiding party.
Or goblin reinforcements from the warren, Tabitha th...

“—There we go, think that did the trick,” a nonplussed voice from out of nowhere remarked.
Tabitha jolted back to awareness with her sinuses screaming, and caught a blurry glimpse of a hand holding a white paper capsule covered with tiny black text. Her brain wasted no time connecting the overpowering ammonia inhalant in the air to the idea of smelling salts, and being roused back to consciousness in such a manner was a lot more unpleasant than ...

“Mom?” Tabitha asked in a weak voice, cracking her eyes open.
“I’m here,” Mrs. Moore jolted up from the seat at the side of the small room and rushed to her side. “I’m here, Sweetie. I’m right here.”
Lifting up her right hand—it felt heavy and sluggish—Tabitha immediately felt her mother take it firmly in her hands. It was still a struggle to see, but it was difficult to tell if it was because the small ro...
