July Dev Update #1

We've got some interesting development news share today!

First thing is that I'd like to officially welcome Artie back onto the project! Back in January of this year, he announced that he'd be stepping down due to personal reasons after being apart of the project for 2+ years by that point. We naturally found another programmer, but to keep it simple.. We had general issues in commutation.

It really boils down to that, as it was common to not hear back from them for over a week ...

CG Finished Preview! V0.22 Bridget related!

[This post may contain possible major spoilers linked to the character Bridget and events surrounding her character. This is your chance to turn back now or possibly spoil yourself further, you decide!]

We have some final previews to share with everyone today based on the early events of Bridget's route episode 6 coming in the near future! This cg scene has a total of 18 variants in total with animation variants that'll take place during the moment in-g...

July Development Report!

Welcome to our first official Development Report! In case you're unaware, we've made some changes to how we approach sharing news and keeping everyone updated on development. Instead of 3 general news posts per month, we're instead going to have one big Development Report at the start of every month, followed by mini new posts roughly at the end of every week during the given month.

This should keep everyone informed as to what we're doing in development a bit better.

With tha...

Warning before July hits!

This will be very brief, as I want to mention some exciting news to help explain just what is taking place here in regards to the whole episode 5 situation (v0.20), but I can't exactly and officially announce what is going on behind the scenes until I officially tie up loose ends with our current programmer within the coming days.

Firstly, the most important thing is that if you're on the fence still before Patreon charges anyone for July support. I don't blame you for wishing to cance...

Music Preview: Elysteria (Main Theme)

Time to switch things up musical wise! With our previous two themes being focused on characters, it was about time to finally update the main theme for the game! ^^

I think many fans might be happy about this new theme, because it'll replace the main title music that some of you may or may not be such a big fan of.. ^^" (RIP headphone users!)

Seriously though, I'm super excited to have the main theme updated and I'm happy to announce that it'll play not only on the title screen...

Things are looking a bit sketchy and so I'd like to give some forewarning. Regardless of what takes next week in development timing. We'll have episode 5 part 1 released this month no m...

CG Concept Preview! V0.22 Bridget related!

[This post may contain possible major spoilers linked to the character Bridget and events surrounding her character. This is your chance to turn back now or possibly spoil yourself further, you decide!]

This is a bit awkward to begin showing v0.22 previews, but with our plans moving forward. We'll be caught up to v0.22 engine wise by August, so I suspect we won't have to worry about art previews feeling like they're super ahead of where the game sits. ^...

June Dev Update #1

Welcome to our first Dev Update! :P

So to briefly explain, moving forward instead of doing 3 news posts each month like we've done for a long time. We've decided to change it up to something a little better suited for development moving forward.

We'll still have one big news related post at the start of a given month which will be called "July Development Report!" starting next month. This will feature in-depth, huge walls of text on our plans for the given month for development...

Sprite Preview: Bridget outfit additions!

[This post may contain possible minor spoilers linked to the character Bridget yet to be seen in-game yet. You have been warned, turn back now or continue if you don't mind minor spoilers!]

I have some additions to share today for Bridget, granted there's not too much being added for her character. I still think the two additions should be fitting on their own for her and give a better sense of her character. ^^

If you missed out on the previous outfit addition previews for Miki...

June News Post #1 (Public)

Hello everyone! As many of you might already know from the tail end of May, I've shared the news that we're a little delayed on v0.20 and that we do want to at least get some content out soon as possible in the form of episode 5 part 1, then we'd have part 2 ready as this month moves along and still have something to offer physically in the time being.

Along with this, as some of you might already know about if you're in the discord.. Last weekend on Saturday, I woke up with what I tho...

May News Post #3

We have one last news post to share with everyone today, kicking it off early to give enough heads up. As I suspected, v0.20 part 1 is going to be difficult releasing exactly on May 31st and it's most likely going to be held off until this upcoming weekend instead. There's two reasons for doing this that play into one another.

The main reason being that typically releasing a new game release during the weekdays can be a bit hectic, as some of you might be aware that I work a personal j...

Sprite Preview: Miki outfit additions! #2

[This post may contain possible minor spoilers linked to the character Miki for the game, yet to be seen in content not yet released. You have been warned, turn back now or continue if you don't mind minor spoilers!]

About a week ago we shared Miki's new outfit additions being added to the game! If you'd like to take a look at those, you can check them out at the link below. ^^

Sprite Preview: Miki outfit additions!

[This post may contain possible minor spoilers linked to the character Miki for the game, yet to be seen in content not yet released. You have been warned, turn back now or continue if you don't mind minor spoilers!]

Earlier this month we shared Brandon's last addition preview, which is decent spoilers, but without context it probably won't make too much sense for it. ^^" Just know it's tied to a select route, but if you wish to check that post out, you may do so with the link below! ^...

May News Post #2

It's time for another news post! I know things are a bit awkward right now and we'll jump right into the main highlight news to start this post off.

As many of you are aware, v0.20 was originally planned to release by May 15th, but I haven't heard back from our programmer with any updates in general before that point in time. This isn't something completely new, but I had figured they'd at least get back to me during this week so that we could provide even some content of episode 5 to ...

v0.20 updated release news! #2

Okay! Part of this is from our recent news post today, so bare with me if it sounds the same. This is more for keeping our public fans informed and updated on a brief to the point level.

As many of you are aware, our original plans were to release v0.20 by May 15th, followed by adjusting this to the 15-20th instead. I haven't heard back from our programmer with any updates in general for a little around a week by this point in time.

I'm unsure what is going on or what to think a...

v0.20 updated release news!

I'll keep this post brief and to the point. (Hopefully.. ^^" )

As many of you are aware, our plan is to release v0.20 tomorrow on May 15th. I'm still hoping that we can pull this off in some fashion, but to quick rundown is that it's been a couple days since I've last heard from the programmer with an updated build that'd be used for this release. Technically, there's a couple scenes that are missing still in the build, which is what we were working on mainly, but there's still some fi...

CG Finished Preview! Episode 3 storage closet

Today I'd like to share the finished previews for a recent cg scene being added to episode 3! ^^ No need for spoilers, given much of this has been experienced in-game already, just without the visuals to pair up with it.

This cg scene was made possible thank to our new support tiers at $200-275. Which allow you to look over a list of possible cg scene worthy moments from the existing game to help fund directly, because you wish to see it happen 100% or even just to help fund the game d...

Sprite Preview: Brandon additions #2

[Possible spoiler warning! This post may contain spoilers related to route content unreleased yet. Don't scroll down any further if you wish be surprised when the content is released!]

So this has been a looooong time coming since late 2020 in development, many of you will already know what this preview is before I mention anything else. For some of you this will be completely new and this post will very lightly spoil some context for this outfit preview to give an idea to what you're ...

V0.20 Hype post #1

[As the headline picture suggests, there might be possible spoilers related to episode 5 content coming with v0.20's release of the game. We're keeping some surprises from fans, but if you prefer a blind playthrough, you may wish to avoid going any further with this post.]

It's been a long time coming and we hope the hype will be well worth the wait! Before any images for hype, I'd like to bring up some facts with episode 5 development wise...

CG Concept Preview! Episode 3 storage closet

As promised! I have some concept art to share today! :P I didn't bother with spoiler warnings for this one since its episode 3 related and it isn't like its a new scene/event added.

So about a month ago we added some new perks to our supporter tiers here on Patreon. Of these, there were 2 high costing tiers that are kind of there on the very rare off chance, set at $200-275. The main benefit of these tiers being that you can choose from a list of cg worthy moments that we thought possi...

May News Post #1 (Public)

It's been a suuuuuperrr busy week, as I had hoped to get this news post out for everyone about a day ago or so.. ^^" Between work, allergies and MA preparations.. It's been a bit wild and I'm sure this weekend will flash before my very eyes too. <.<

But that's besides the point! We have some news to share as we're moving further into May to share with everyone. The first thing is that in case you missed it last month, we're releasing v0.20 by May 15th!

I'm pretty happy wi...

Thank You for April's Support!

I'd like to personally thank everyone who decided to support us during April! While I had a personal goal to get v0.20 out by April 30th. (Which wasn't set in stone) We're still not too far off, as we announced not long ago that we'd be expecting v0.20 to be ready for release by May 15th! ^^

Of course for those who supported us during 2021 or even during January/February of 2022 at least once at $5+ tier. We're still keeping to our word and providing you with v0.20 on the same day as p...

Music Preview: Nova’s Theme - Ricordi di Vita

With last month's new music track being Miki's Theme and one that's a bit upbeat, energetic and perhaps overwhelming in a sense? :P I have a new theme that goes in a different direction to change things up a bit.

We'll probably not hear this in-game until v0.21, as I do have plans for it to play at some point in episode 2, but we'll get back to earlier episode adjustments for quality of life fixes as we ensure we're going strong on new content firstly.

Anyways! If you can't piec...

April News Post #3 (Final)

As April draws near its end, I've got some updates to share with everyone! The highlight being that a release date is set for v0.20, unlike previous attempts for this.. I can safely say that with what I've seen in the play test build and how smoothly those seem to be turning out, that we're getting on track again with development as a whole!

One step at a time though, before we get ahead of ourselves.. ^^"

V0.20 release date ~ May 15th

Sprite Preview: Brandon additions #1

No need for spoilers this time around! :P While these outfits are newly created, they're meant to be seen early on or aren't too engaged with later parts of the game.

So we have some additions for Brandon, which is the protag. There's actually one other outfit still being made and that one will be a spoiler related post for good reason, some of you may already know or can guess exactly what this spoiler related outfit will be.. :P But it isn't ready to be shared yet. For now, we have t...

April News Post #2

About half way through April already, which means it's about time we do some light updates on development news and other mentions going on since earlier this month! :P

~April's Dev plans!~

Following through with our plans this month for v0.20, we're moving along and should have a good play test build by next week sometime that'll be one of two that we'll share for $25+ supporters before the official release. (In case you missed this, we've added the bonus perk f...
