Santa Lucia Build 19 (Guest) - April 2021

Hey there everyone!

Another month, another update. Times flies, and it flies even faster when you’ve got a deadline to hit each month, hehe.

This update marks the start of Bryan’s route, a character I’ve grown especially fond of (although don’t get me wrong, I love everyone in Santa Lucia, but then again, I am biased).

With it comes a new CG with which I got carried away a bit, but was really fun to make. Unfortunately due to how long that CG took, and other...

Fifth Goal Reached! Zach route is entering development!

Hey guys, it's been a while since we've made another goal post!

Thank you all so much for helping us achieve this milestone! Truth be told, this was always the goal I hoped would be reached since Zach is the most plot important character in the game after Ben. I really look forward to sharing what I have in mind for our shy dragon down the line!

I know it seems like a long ways of, and in a lot of ways it probably is. Zach will get his route eventually, you can count on it since...

Hey guys, Devilizer here!

It’s been a couple months, hasn’t it? I hope everyone’s been doing  well! As for us, we’ve had, let’s say, a lively time these past two  months, and our break ended up less restful than we’d hoped, hehe.

Route Split Poll Results Overview

Hello everyone!

Before finishing build 17, I had made two different polls in order to gauge player route preference. I figure everyone would like an opportunity to look at the results.

First off, in December I made an exclusive poll for our Senior tier patrons to get an early vote in for their preferred husbando. Initial results showed a slight lead for Bryan, although the sample size is very small.
The other privilege afforded to our Seniors was the right to cast a second vo...

Stormsinger - "Save Room Theme"

Hey guys!

Dev recently got me to marathon the old fixed camera Resident Evil games, which I enjoyed immensely. So much so that I ended up inspired to make my own rendition of a save room theme, hehe...

Hope you guys like it!

Reminder of Paused Charge

Heya guys!

Just to remind you, Dev and I decided to take the month of February off from working on Santa Lucia.

As a result, we have paused Patreon charging on March 1st since there will be no new build available for download.

Payments will resume on April 1st alongside the first build of route content for Carlos.

Thank you!

Even if it’s only been a year and a half or so, my skills have improved, and I fe...

The Route Split Focus Poll!

Heya guys!


As you already know, we're quickly approaching the route split. This means I'm going to have to cycle through husbando updates soon. Like I said in the build post, the format I'm looking to handle these updates with is an alternating system:



Character A (whoever wins the polls) > Character B > Character A > Character C > Repeat


And since I know this is going to be a question, I'll go ahead and address it. The stretch goal ...

WIP Preview of New OST Song "Third Regret"

Heya guys.


It may not have been noticeable, but I've been severely blocked when it comes to music for at least half a year. I've finally managed to compose a piece I'm happy with that's going to accompany an extremely important scene on day 8. It took upwards of 10 tries with wildly different approaches, but I think I've settled on something that fits exactly the sound I envisioned in my head for the scene. I hope you enjoy this little preview.

Don’t worry, the character doesn’t look any different from what you remember, he’s still the same shy dragon you know him as. Since he was one of the first sprites I did more than a year back, he’s always had a few nitpicks that bothered me, and that I felt would have to fix before I add in some new exp...

Some Sketches

Hey guys,

Here's something a bit different I've been doing in my spare time, and that I figured you'd all like to see: some Santa Lucia related sketches!

 They aren't as high quality as the CGs (as they are still only sketches and mainly for practice), and I cannot promise a regular schedule on these kind of uploads (since they're something I can only really do when I have time for it) but I figured you guys would appreciate them, hehe. They'll be up on Patreon some time befo...
