Hii all,
In the past few days, Patreon is having a trouble with payment processing- and it caused some folks to have declined payments or more. Currently, 10 patrons who pledged tiers through this creator page are marked as "Declined Patron" here. I cri cri. I saw that some people out there have even had their pledged removed completely, so for those of you that follow multiple creators, check and make sure that hasn't happened to you!
It's a bit tiring for everyo...

With several new changes coming up for our VN here, you may find yourself wondering what it does mean for our VN- I'm here to answer some questions and reassure that our VN is not going on hiatus. ^_^
For Itch Io's part, public versions will go on hiatus- I will periodically announce our progress on Itch Io but more frequently on here- with Lumarten's sketches and what I have accomplished here.
I will state the goals we have for our VN below.

Hi all!
Thank you for all of your supportive messages and patience with me!!
Version 2.9 is finally out - Choose your choices wisely: You may end up with both husbandos, one or nothing at all! That's right, I'm talking about these certain CG scenes. And finally, with the introduction of our fourth husbando. <3
This far along in Chapter 12, a...

Hi all,
I started my training for work-at-home job few weeks ago. It was manageable while working on this version. Alas, IRL circumstances happened beyond what I could control and it was incredibly difficult for me to cope with.
Today, my depression is getting better, and my husband is doing what he can to make sure it doesn't happen again. I appreciate some of you all reaching out to me, and checking in to make sure that I'm okay. Thank you and lots of hugs! <3

Hi all!
This is the month I will continue working on Chapter 12 to get it done for next Patreon release. You'll have the option to spend your time with whoever is at the beach!
I have also started opening Jace's Fox Den up (in terms of coding). After Chapter 12's CG scenes and fourth husbando's sprite, Haz will begin working on Jace's sprite and CG scene. We hope to get it done before July 1st release- Otherwise, August 1st. Boy, do we have plenty of work to do!

Hi all, Happy Pride Month!!
Bonds and Friendship Menu is now available on both versions! To access it, start the game and go to your game menu- You will see "Bonds" and "Friendships". To summarize, you can see how close you are with these husbandos. Except for Guardians at the last row- they can be found at the Fox Den if you choose to get to know them other than Duke. Of course, there are no penalties for getting to know them! Friendships on other hand, enables you to ...

Hi all!
This was unexpected, but thank you all so much for your support!! Spirit Guardians have now completely overtaken the Fox Den. Sooo much spiritual energy right there, goodness me!
It would mean that Guardian tier is completely OBSOLETE. Now then, that would be bad for Patreon funding! This gave me a reason to find a solution to ensure that Guardian tier remains useful and significant for the story. I'm going to list the new changes below.

Hi all!
Let's start off with the first thing- I will be releasing Rubio's Story this June 1st instead of Chapter 12. Rev is currently editing Chapter 6-7, so this will be included for the next update.
As for Chapter 12, there would be two CG scenes and one new sprite to introduce. Haz is working on those.
I decided that Chapter 12 needs more time before it can be published to Patreon. We certainly have a lot to do!
If there are any suggestions you'd like to ...

G'day, Patrons!
Tales of Onyx Itch.Io just recently hit 1,000 followers. I'm overjoyed by the fact that we have gotten to this far... With Haz, Kang and Revali on the team, we have reached to this point. I'm even more excited for the future.
There are so many elements- and the lore to explore in our VN. If I may say so, keep your friends close... And your enemies even closer.

Patreon Version 2.7 is now available for you all to download. Enjoy! (This was the biggest update. Chapter Eleven contained three times more longer than any of chapters except for Chapter Seven. My goodness!)
What changed in this version:
Revali, who volunteered to be a Editor and joined our team- made plenty of grammar and misspellings for our VN! From Prologue to Chapter Five have been edited. If you happen to skip through the story, you would occasionally stop at ...

Hi all!
I forgot to mention in the previous post that there are two endings available at the end of battle. As illustrated above, this is dependent on what choices you made during the battle.
At the end of battle- right before Lea's shooting- this is how you know you have reached to one of those endings.
I hope this helps you all! <3

As I promised, Chapter Ten and Gary's Story is now available to you all! I didn't have enough time to complete Xander's Fox Den due to my recent depression attacks, I apologize.
With that in mind, I have a long road of recovery ahead of me. However, this will not stop me from producing new content for Tales of Onyx VN. To do all three tasks just for one Patreon version release may...

Hi all! I've been working on the battle routes. In this case, it branches out depending on the choices you made. These choices can change the outcome towards the ending of Chapter Ten (Thus marking the end of Pharyna Arc!).
The question is- Should we have timed choices (several scenes that will force you to react quickly)? Of course, we can still use back button if we somehow fucked up along the way. xP

There are some patrons who already knew about having SIX routes available in Tales of Onyx VN, but I wanted to make it clear for everyone who didn't know.
As of right now- for Rubio, Duke and Gary routes, they are technically not available. Because you're currently building the love points to meet the requirement in order to unlock the love route with your chosen husbando. You will have the choice to choose one of them when it comes down to that, don't worry! You will a...

What changed? Leon and Pox sprites are added, along with DUKE'S MAIN FOX DEN EVENT ROUTE (all that delicious CG scenes) have been fully completed for Chapter Seven.
Other than that, Duke's truck NOW appears at the beginning of Chapter Eight. A LOT of music tracks have been changed to make it easier listening to while reading the story, no more of that in...

First of all, I wanted to say how much I appreciate your support for our development on "Tales of Onyx" VN. It meant so much to me, I truly look forward for the future of this VN with you all- eagerly!
Secondly, I made quite a bit of progress this month. Leon and Pox sprites are now part of the VN, yay us! CG scene for Duke's main route during Fox Den is being made, and Kang was able to create several new backgrounds so far to replace the temporary backgrounds.

Now with SIX guardians claimed for the Fox Den Event... This tier is open to everyone who wishes to upgrade or pledge to without having to take part of the side routes.
I'm aware that there are several people who didn't want to pledge to this tier because they didn't want to be part of the side routes and I completely understand that. ^_^

Also, report any bugs you might ...

Hi Patrons! I kindly thank you all for your support. It means so much to me and for the artists.
Comparing to Version 1.5, the story line is entirely revamped along with sprites and majority of backgrounds... In addition of CG scenes (Finally, about the damn time! *wags*).
Most of the chapters have been edited, but for you patrons:
Chapter Six - Essence of the Guardian
Chapter Seven - Fox Den Shenanighans
Chapter Eight - Conflicting Sides

This is for the Chapter Seven. Charos (Protagonist of the story) will be able to choose four options: Bar, Outdoor Patio, Dance Floor or Stay with Duke. By choosing one of three options other than staying with Duke, Charos will get to meet two side characters- of which he will choose who to hang out with (and to have fun *wink wink*).
This is only available for Guardian ($10) Tier. I will update this post with each Guardian who claimed the tier.

Number one- We will be changing our current title for few good reasons- Out of This World was too common and difficult to search anywhere else. Secondly, having a iconic title would make sense for this story with a hint of tragic backstory and plenty of sexu...
