Hey guys! Happy New Year!
This month we decided to tackle some longstanding issues the game has had narratively. A common problem we see people bring up is that they have a hard time getting through orientation on the first day. It took me a while to really nail down what I believed the problem to be, but after several rewrite rough drafts I think I figured out that it has to do with two things.
First, I added another perspective to the opening moments of the game. Ideally, this w...

Hey everyone!
This month we’re pushing Carlos’s route a little bit further along. By my estimate, his route is approximately 3/4ths finished. A few more surprises are inbound, as well as a new character who will play a big role in Act 4, hehehe…
We also have another short story in development. It was supposed to coincide with this build...

Hey everyone!
This month’s update is quite a doozy! Dev managed to crunch out 4 whole CGs this time!
Overall, we’re extremely happy with how this update came out. Dev overcame some barriers that were blocking him in his art, and I overcame a lot of blocks of my own when it comes to writing (particularly with naughty scenes, hehe...

Hey guys,
Sorry to do this again, but Dev and I need one more day to finish up all the CGs for the next update. Trust me though, it's totally gonna be worth the wait. I'm leaving a little preview here just so you know what to expect, hehehe...
See you all tomorrow!

Hey guys! We're still working on the update, but we wanted to do something special for this Halloween, so we wrote a short story centered around Carlos's childhood, and I drew something to accompany it!
I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on it,
Cheers,
Dev

Hey guys,
Dev and I both managed to get sick this week. This build is also one that features several new CGs that are gonna need some extra time to complete. Build 46 will be released on November 3rd instead of on November 1st like usual.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hello everyone!
We’re back from a month long break. This month we’re progressing Carlos’s route further, pushing his content into the second in-game week of October. Are things finally starting to blossom in Ben and Carlos’s relationship, or is it all just an illusion?

Hey guys,
Sorry, I know I've neglected this perk for a while. I've decided I'm going to upload every song I have finished for the Santa Lucia soundtrack to the folder, even the ones that haven't been used yet. There may be a couple more added down the line when I finish them, but as of this post this is pretty much the final set of songs for the game.
Fair warning before you dig into them! A lot of these songs can be considered spoilers (not necessarily in the names, but the mood ...

Hey guys,
As I'm sure some of you know, we just released the latest build for our other project Homecoming. Unfortunately the build cycle for it took a lot out of us, so Dev and I agreed we're going to take the month off on Santa Lucia. The charge that would have happened on September 1st will be skipped.
We'll be back with the next build of Santa Lucia on October 1st. Thank you for understanding!

Hey everyone.
This month we wrap back to the beginning of Act 3 to start progressing Carlos’s route. It always takes me a bit to get in the headspace to write another character when switching between routes, so I may have wrote less than I would have liked this time.

As discussed in the previous "talk" post, I am in the middle of deciding which of these characters is going to get the "extra route" slot to join the Russell and Zach routes.
Please vote on the character you'd rather see route content for.
This poll will be open until the end of 2023.

I anticipate Act III for Bryan to finish in the next two or three updates, after which we will swap over to the next route in line: Carlos.
See you all next month...

Hey everyone, I’m finally back in America and I’ve got some time to put a bunch of thoughts I’ve had into writing.
After May 16th, Patreon is going to remove the “Goals” feature from creator pages. This was where I was keeping track of progress towards out stretch goals like the bonus routes. I can understand the logic on Patreon’s side since I can say even for us this feature has been a double edged sword. While I’m sad to see it’s leaving, it’ll thankfully...
