Santa Lucia Build 27 (Patreon) - January 2022

Hey everyone, happy holidays! Here’s to a great 2022!

This month we finish up the last bit of route exclusive content for Bryan in Act 2. There’s one last common event to cover that will cap off Act 2 in its entirety, but we will save that for later.

Next month we are switching to the next husbando in line: Carlos. The benefit of focusing on one route at a time is that all the common content has already been written (save for the aforementioned capstone event), so progress on ...

Hey guys!

I hope you all had a good Halloween! In my country, we don’t really celebrate Halloween, although we do sometimes get trick-or-treaters (and sometimes, they even bother to wear costumes!). Yet, I’ve always enjoyed that holiday, as an enthusiast of all things scary. A such, I was working on a special artwork for the occ...

Yet, I’ve always enjoyed that holiday, as an enthusiast of all things scary. A such, I was working on a special artwork for the occasion, but wasn’t able to post it on time for the actual day.

Santa Lucia Writing Structure (revised)

Hello everyone!

This might be a weird post to see at this stage in Santa Lucia's development, but I think it helps give insight to how things can change during the development process.

I recently sat down and had a good long look at how I have the game structured. This was largely in response to how I'm still struggling to find an update pattern that pleases as many players as possible while still being digestible for me to write. Carefully examining the peaks and valleys of the g...

CG PACK - CAT AND PANDA

His tumultuous feelings having been finally quelled, Ben readies himself to enjoy a fun time with Bryan, who is more than happy to oblige.

CG PACK - A HELPING HAND

Ben’s too shy to make the first move, but Bryan’s sharp enough to cut the tension between them with a single stroke.

CG PACK - DATING APP

Too many choices and possibilities leave Ben paralyzed, until he makes a mistake he’s afraid he can’t take back.

CG PACK - THE FOREST

What else can you do but run away when your demons give chase?

CG PACK - CAMBRION SUNSET

A crimson sunset tarnished by a broken friendship. Out of the ashes, something else might rise.

CG PACK - WATER DRAGON

The hood comes down, and the dragon prepares for the mocking laughter to echo once again.

Acceptance is the furthest thing from his mind.

CG PACK - DEEP BLUE

Dark thoughts lead Ben to stare at the endless blue below the bridge he’s standing on.

A single step is all it takes.

CG PACK - WHITE CORRIDOR

An endless corridor, doors of all shapes and colors…

None of this is real, right?

CG PACK - MORNING TO MYSELF

When the dragon’s out, the cat has some fun.

CG PACK - GUILT

Sometimes, you just can’t let go of the past. Other times, the past won’t let you go.

CG PACK - NOCTURNAL FANTASIES

Emerging feelings and raging hormones cause Ben to have quite the embarrassing dreams.

CG PACK - STICKY SHIRT

A trip the gym’s locker room sees Ben meet with Bryan, who is very underdressed. Or is Ben the one who is overdressed?

Note: Due to an unfortunate file mishap, I lost the original .psd file for this CG, and with it, the full HD resolution. I had to use the ones from the game to compensate. I apologize for the inconvenience!

CG PACK - I SEE YOU

After a quick cat nap, Ben is woken up by his mentor Chris.

However, like every cat being jolted awake, he is a bit jumpy, much to Chris’s surprise.

CG PACK - HER

Ben stirs awake from a pleasant dream, only to realize tears are running down his cheeks.

It couldn’t have been that pleasant, could it?

CG PACK - CAT IN THE MIRROR

Recovering from a recent nightmare, Ben cleans his face in the plane’s bathroom, taking a long hard look at himself.

He’s seen better days.

CG PACK - DISTANT OMEN

Hey guys!

It’s been quite a while coming, but one of our promised patron rewards has always been CG Packs for both SFW and NSFW CGs. With the constant work on the game and monthly releases and CGs piling up, I was unable to dedicate time for the packs, until now.

I have grouped every CG by pack as seen in the gallery, and will be putting them up on our page with their own separate posts, starting with the very first one.

Cheers,

Devilizer

DISTANT OME...

Halloween 2012

Hey guys!

We posted this on the update, but I figured it could use a separate post just for it, in case someone missed it!

I've included a separate file with just the picture, so people can take a closer look, hehe.

Cheers,

Dev

"Santa Lucia" Build 24 Now Available!

https://stormsingerstudios.itch.io/santa-lucia

Hey everyone,

Last month marked the second anniversary of Santa Lucia. Two years have come and gone since the first release.

It’s hard not to fall back on tired cliches when celebrating those  hallmark years. “Two years went by in a flash”, “Had you told me where  I’d be two years from now, I wouldn’t have beli...
