Unpublishing page to avoid accidental charges during hiatus

I'll unpublish this page early next month to avoid accidentally charging you guys if I get sick and miss re-pausing patreon billing one month.

You will remain as patrons but won't be charged for any pledges until I relaunch the page. If I'm able to restart, I'll send you guys a heads-up message before I start charging again.

As I mentioned on my previous post, I'll continue looking for ways to give VN-making another shot, while I continue to hone my skills and paying the bills w...

Patreon's Response - Game Over (for now)

Their reply was a bit confusing and touched on a few points, but this is the key part:

“We do understand that a curse might exist as part of the narrative of the game, but this type of content won't be allowed as per our current guidelines.“


So continuing work on Coill City with that sentence hanging over our heads seems like a terrible idea... so regrettably, I will have to stop working on Coill City.

This is a...

A small update (Important)

Still waiting for Patreon's reply

Patreon hasn't gotten back to me yet, and it wouldn't feel right charging you guys again while the Coill City is in limbo, therefore...

Starting today, pausing patron charges for 1 month

My Patreon won't charge you for a month starting right now. This will give also give me time to think what to do in the case that Patreon finds issues with Coill City.

Due to this pause, I won't make a new build for July 2024, but June's is al...

Checking with Patreon, temporary hold on art in the meantime

Checking with Patreon?

Patreon seems to have been banning multiple NSFW creators (game or art) ever since they clarified their guidelines in March. 

Although I believe my in-game content should be fine, I've grown concerned that years down the line someone over at Patreon will find issue with any detail in Coill City and bring it all down without recourse.

With a sudden ban being a possibility, it's best to know where Coill City stands as soon...

Thank you all for another month of support!

Clarifying a couple of terms 

To avoid confusion, here are the terms I'll use from now on to refer to the content.

  • Event - An in-game event that the player triggers during gameplay.
    e.g: Lily's beach event.


  • Scene- A SINGLE illustration with or without variations.
    e.g: Lily's beach event includes 6 scenes right now, eventually will be 8.

Progress Update (Nov-Dec 2023)

First leg of the port to Ren'Py is done! Lots of progress made.

Spent a lot of time learning things about the language and finding ways to make a lot of basic changes to the script automatically, quite useful when you have ~15000 lines to get through!

Progress Made

  • All ~1180 illustrations have been processed, reducing file size by ~70%.
  • Audio size has been reduced by 96% (From FAT wav to OP opus).
