Alvy's Last Day is Here!!! ^^

Hey everyone, it's been a while :]
I've been incredibly busy with a difficult year at university, I had some really bad family problems, but alas I did it.
The last day is done =w= this one's a HUGE update with lots of art.
I was planning on releasing it like 2 months ago... but I deeply underestimated how much work I still needed to put in xd

But, uhh, yeah, it's here now. :)

As always the gallery is not really updated, and I don't think I'll update it until Aiden's re...

New Prologue Rewrite Update! :D

I promised some time ago that I'll be remaking the prologue before Scribbles' actual route starts, just cuz I retconned some details about his relationship with Cody, so here we are!
I'm so much happier with this one.
It always pained me to see new people start to play the game, and I just had to sit back and listen to the cringefest that was my early writing and art. NOT ANYMORE! >:]
Alvy's day 3 is also coming along quite nicely. It is shorter than the other 2 days so expect to ...

Day 2 of Alvy's Route! ^^

Oh boy, finally.
This shouldn't have taken as long as it did =w= But you're getting tons of art, tons of words, tons of... dog.

As usual, the Gallery is not ready, because that thing takes too long to do... might be ready for the public release but even then it's not a promise.

Pleaaaaase let me know if anything doesn't work! I checked everything for hours but you know how it is :3
Also! We're waiting for you on the server! We're going to do a live reading for this updat...

NSFW Tate scene, NOT CANON! Just for Fun! :D

Alvy's Route is out! Day 1

Edit: Just in case there are newer players here, the way you activate Alvy's route is by completing Therium's route :]

Alvy's route is here! As you can see it's only day 1, but it's already close to Aiden's size :v
The following updates should take less complete, since most of the ground work is set for the route.
The third day is also not going to be long, similar to Therium's.

I so hope there are minimal mistakes, I was literally up all night preparing the update xd 2024-08-25 10:50:02 +0000 UTC View Post

First Renditions of the Opening Screen/Main Menu and Names !

The early development stages were FULL with redraws and redesigns, especially since I wasn't the greatest artist out there. The first picture you see there, which is the same as the profile picture for this page :], was the first ever Main Menu image attempt.

I quickly realized that:

1 - I didn't like how it turned out

2 - There wasn't a lot of space to put the start, load, exit etc. buttons.

My second attempt is what I settled with in the end, but I definitely needed ...

New Discord Rule:

First off, here is the discord link, for anyone interested:
https://discord.gg/ykAxswVyF8

We could call this a celebratory rule for finally getting this update out, but I want to make a new rule for Discord users, and it's simple:

Anyone who has accumulated over 2k messages in our discord server, can request to be added back at any time regardless of their Patreon Subscription.

So if you can...

Scribbles' Route, Part 1 of 3

Link at the end:

Here it is! The first part of this Goliath of an update.
Embark on the journey to find out more about that little freak inside your head, although...you don't think you just get to ask him about his personal life and get answers, do you?
Course not! You first have to win him over, and some other people might get in the way while trying!
Such as the star of this particular update, Therium! ^^

But hey, everyone has fun qualities, interesting secrets and mys...

Lil' Update on Stuff!

Oy! Long time no see, friendly reminder for Patrons of Savage Tier and above, Work in Progress content is posted in the Discord channel, so tune in over there for more details, but for now, here are some previews and updates!
The script is fully done and in the process of being spell-proofed, art is mostly done aside from some chibis and sprite work, after that I just gotta stitch everything together, art, sprites, music, yada yada.
For those who still don't know, this update is pretty ...

Work in Progress Discord Channel.

Hey everyone!

So, as you might know, and if not then I'm letting you know now: Anyone that is in the Savage tier or above are entitled to work in progress updates and behind the scenes stuff, as it says in the tier's description. I do sometimes post CG's or at least let you know what I'm up to so I don't keep you in the dark for too long, but I don't think that's enough. I don't want to flood your emails with my Patreon notifications every time I post an update, and don't want to spoil ...

CG's have started!

Here is a little scene I made for your first real encounter with Scribbles, I'm sharing this fully since this happens way before the route split and everyone already experienced it, so no spoilers :)

Since the last route is Scribbles', it seemed fitting to enchant your first encounter with him, plus the prologue is very lacking in any real scenes, even if it's not too long, I thought I'd give people a bit more art to look at to grab their attention.

Don't worry, the chains are jus...

Choice Time!

Hey everyone, yep, this is a question for EVERY patron, so, as you might know, I am working very hard on Scribbles' script right now, and I'm even going to start his route's art too since I'm finally home from uni!
But there is a little problem.

I told myself that when I do Aiden's reworked route (yes, that is coming before chapter 2, for those who don't know.) And while doing that I was also going to replace most of the backgrounds that aren't mine, you could probably tell which one...

Last route of Chapter 1 and some sketches.

The last route of Chapter 1 is in the making, ideas are already put on paper and I'm ready to start the script! ^^
I promise this one won't be as long as Tate's route, I'm not going through that hell again, but that doesn't mean it will be any worse. With every update I learn new things, In Tate's route, besides the new CG and sprite animations, I also learned that making art for a VN is actually one of the easiest parts, so I'm planning on filling the last route with images, not words. (i...

Unused NSFW Scene.

I drew this image a while back for Merina's path, unfortunately, I hated everything about it, which lead to a complete rewrite of that whole part of the script. Needless to say, I definitely don't regret sacking this one drawing to make something better overall. I'm much happier with where things are now, even though I put a lot of effort into it. At least y'all get to see it.

Sometimes, you just gotta delete your art and start again, if you really think it sucks that much. <3 Best a...

All CG's Done!

At last! I finished all the main art, all the new sprites for the new characters, the nsfw scenes, the silly ones, the serious ones, everything. All that remains is 1-2 scenes that I'll need to draw after I send the script for reviews, and maaaaybe some more chibi screens, if I find some good places to shove them in, but other than that, all I need to draw are some sprite variations after the script is reviewed.

Since Tate has a pretty lively and dynamic pose in his regular sprite, I wa...

Just the two of Us.

Second day is done! Including Multiple nsfw scenes.  ^^

One more day to go, and the most art heavy.

owo what's this?

Finally a full CG I can show without spoiling anything, I wonder what the context behind this image is?

You're gonna have to wait and find out! I'm so excited about how this is all turning out! ^^

Cody and Tate are having a blast together, partners in crime, and a lot more than that as well...

First Day Done!

Tate sure is excited about something, I wonder what he's seeing there... Cody is equally surprised.

The last CG of the first day! (Although this scene is technically the next morning).

Redesigns.

Since both Ollie and Merina will play a big role in Tate's route, I wanted to give them yet another glow up before making a bunch of CG art for them, what do you think?

The first pictures are the redrawn versions, the second are the current ones in the game, and the third ones are the old designs.

New Cast.

Ok, so, for a long time I wasn't very happy about Dallan, Aiden and Tate's designs, so I'm removing them from the game completely and replacing them with yeah I'm just kidding here :)

On a more serious note, here are some nerds you'll encounter on the first day, don't worry, Tate will take care of them, he has his ways around gullible, weak and socially awkward people, you should know.
But wait, the last one doesn't look like a nerd... well, he has some other role to play, don't you ...

Guys, I swear he's straight.

Here are some nsfw shenanigans between Bean and Jerry, you most likely won't see them going at it in the game, but that doesn't mean you can't watch how they spend their Valentine's Day here! ^^

Post goes public tomorrow.

Dallan's update is out ^^

Find it on itch.io! https://mindoffur.itch.io/lust-shards

Compared to the Patreon version, it has 2 extra CG's, and some corrected grammar, spelling and bugs.

(Very light Spoilers ahead) More Original Designs.

Here you can see what Cody was originally going to look like, can you see the difference?

That's right! His tie and little pin were a darker shade, thank God I decided to change that, it looks much better now, don't you think? ^^

There you can also see Unknown, He was supposed to be a one-off character that Cody was going to kill just like the fight on the beach with Aiden, but I wanted to do a little bit more with him, so I gave him a little glow up, and a smol red partner you're...

Forgotten Gem.

This was the Halloween piece for Dallan, I posted it on the discord server but never did on the actual Patreon, so here you go :)

(Slight spoiler alert?)First Try at the Restroom Scene.

Here is my initial attempt at drawing the first nsfw scene of Dallan's route, I struggled waaay too much with the simple background, the poses were very weird because I tried too hard to replicate an idea I had in mind and didn't quite made it. Cody's face is a little wanky and the other two have no eyes, because I wanted to suggest they're unimportant characters, but it ended up just looking ugly, so instead I just gave them no names in the final version :).

Not to mention that shading...

It's here :)

The wait is over, Dallan's full route for chapter 1 is complete, there will be some minor updates for it when the public version comes out in January, but for now, enjoy! ^^

Just go to the mega link and select whichever version you need.

https://mega.nz/folder/CXAn0ACD#iKdrnmGS3THoX0NWDyUfWg

And remember, Cody is not responsible for the decisions you make as the player, so tread carefully.

Update!

So, good news! ^^

Almost all the art for the Dallan's route is done! 3-4 CG's remaining. Here you can see a little hangout scene you'll experience at some point.

I'm a little caught up between getting the update out as soon as possible and doing as much quality art as I can, I know Dallan is a fan favorite so I want to do him justice.

See you again soon, hopefully with a draft for the entire route :3

New side characters.

As you might know, the script is basically done, so now I'm intensely working on the art, here are 3 new characters you'll see in Dallan's route :3

Sebastian, renowned waiter and Chelsie's good friend.

and 2 of the other students who got in by recommendation, Coal and Rose :D

Lot of felines in season this year ='=

Special benefits.

Why does Tate get a whole different nsfw image besides his Halloween special?

Uhhh- cuz small troublemaking funny cat, that's why ='=

Any more questions?

Canon size?

Is it canon? 

Sure, let's say that for now :)

The costume might be an illusion, but that length sure ain't!
