Temptation's Ballad: Build 0.2.5.4 (January 8th, 2025)

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a good start to the new year! Apologies for the delay in getting this update out, my work schedule ended up getting a bit hectic over the holidays. Now I'm ready to hop right back into TB development and continue onto the next part of Chapter 4!

This update is split into two parts. 1) The main story content, which includes around 7,046 words of new story and 2) A Grank/Cole mini-episode, which totals around 5,725 words.

The main story update ends at a rather abrupt spot. This is because the next segments of the story will be very art heavy and cutting it off in this way will allow me more time to focus on development. I figured in the meantime, y'all can enjoy some steamy Grank/Cole action in the mini-episode :3

  • 2 new map icon arts for Maeve and Calder.

  • 3 animated segments for the Grank/Cole mini-episode!

  • All 8 of Agatha's sprites have been overhauled with clean lineart and cell-shading.

  •  

  • All 3 of "Rosie's" sprites have been overhauled with clean lineart and cell-shading. She has also received 1 additional new sprite.

  •  

  • The mini-episode thumbnails are now marked NSFW if applicable.

  • Mini-episode unlock triggers are now placed at the beginning of every chapter to make unlocking them less of a hassle. For example, simply starting Chapter 4 in the Chapter Select screen will immediately unlock all preceding episodes.

  • Agatha and Rosie's sprites have been converted from PNG to WEBP files, reducing their file size footprint from 1381KB to 619KB.

Devblog 11/30/2024

Hello folks! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, or at least a good autumn outside the states. Here's a quick status update on the progress of the next TB build.

I'm currently aiming for the update to drop sometime next week! Apologies for the slight delay, but prepping for the holidays for family took up a bit more time than expected, and the extra week will really give me a bit more breathing room. Thank you for the understanding!

As for the update itself, it comes in 2 parts: the main story content and a new mini-episode involving Grank/Cole! The main story content will be a little on the small side, around ~7000 words. The story segments that come after this update will be on the art-heavy side, so I decided to end the chapter at a very specific point to prepare.

In terms of progress, the main story segment has 2 new illustrated backgrounds, 8 overhauled sprites for Agatha, and 4 overhauled sprites for "Rosie."

Agatha's sprites have been converted to WEBP format, reducing the file size from 1150KB to 460KB.

"Rosie" has received similar treatment, reduced from 238KB to 159KB (new sprite included).

Since the main story content is on the shorter side, I figured I'd use the time to add another mini-episode, this time featuring the Grank/Cole scene that folks have been asking me for since Chapter 2! I'm aiming for this episode to be around ~5000 words and it will contain 6 CGs and utilize that Grank/Cole animation that I released to the Bonus Arts section months ago. Here's a quick preview of the WIPs (which you can view on the Discord as well):

 

And in other news, I've moved most of my social media presence from Twitter to Bluesky. If you're looking for VN news, art posts, and low-quality shitposts, feel free to follow me there!

Thank you all for your support and patience! ;w;/

Bonus Animation: Getting Handsy

(HD Video Mirror)

Note: Patreon does not allow direct video uploads for NSFW creators and their GIF preview display is very spotty. I highly recommend watching the animation with the Dropbox link!

Some more lewd shenanigans between our favorite Repeat duo~

Had this animation baking in the background for a while. I've been trying to explore Spine2D's features, which includes some pretty nice hand controls, but it's so damn time consuming to animate qwq

Bonus Art: A Romantic Yeen Moment

I tried drawing something that's equal parts horny and romantic for the yeen dads (and also try out my new foliage brushes). Marrow and Hamish have plenty lewd moments but my favorite scenes were always the ones where they're just being stupidly and madly in love with each other.

Might try to animate this one down the line since it feels tailor made for it, but that's for future me to worry about~ uwu

Temptation's Ballad: Build 0.2.5.3 (October 31st, 2024)

Hope everyone's having a fun Halloween! Hope I can spice up your spooky season with the next part of Chapter 4 of Temptation's Ballad. The beginning of this chapter leans slightly on the slow-burn side so I hope y'all don't mind the slower pacing of it. It feels weird to do some quiet worldbuilding here after working on the climax of Repeat for so long QwQ

Bonus Animation - Sidd's Heavy Polearm

Looks like Sidd is a little pent up~

I've finally taken the plunge to learn how to animate using Spine2D. It's a pretty good program, but the learning curve has been a pain. It's definitely more wieldy than After Effects, which takes like 5 seconds to load every time I move something slightly qwq

Hope you guys enjoy seeing Sidd in motion though! Hopefully my future animations will be much more dynamic as I learn to use this software ;w;/

Well uuuh, some of this art is from over 8 years ago so the resolution isn't fantastic, but these copies are at least double the resolution of the in-game files at least! qwq/

Patreon Tier Restructuring

Hello folks! After years of forgetting about it, I've finally went back and updated the descriptions of my Patreon tiers and added a new $5 tier for more flexibility.

Here are the following tier descriptions:

$3 Tier:

  • Get access to Repeat and Temptation's Ballad builds early! Patreon supporters will always be 1 build ahead of the public.

  • A big thank you! ;w;/

$5 Tier:

  • Get access to Repeat and Temptation's Ballad builds early! Patreon supporters will always be 1 build ahead of the public.

  • Early access to Bonus Art of my VN characters!

  • Access to HD images of in-game CGs and Sprites!

  • An even bigger thank you! ;w;/

$10 Tier:

  • Get access to Repeat and Temptation's Ballad builds early! Patreon supporters will always be 1 build ahead of the public.

  • Early access to Bonus Art of my VN characters!

  • Access to HD files of in-game CGs and Sprites!

  • Early Access to Bonus Animations that I make of my VN characters!

  • The biggest thank you! ;w;/

A summery of the changes: My Bonus Arts and HD In-Game CG packs will now be available to folks in the $5 tier and above, while my animations will be reserved for the $10 tier folks.

Not too much has changed for the most part, but I figured adding a $5 tier would be a nice in-between for the folks who want to support me and see my bonus arts without jumping all the way to $10.

Thank you all for sticking with me through all these years, and I look forward to continue creating for you guys! :D

ALSO: Let me know if you see a post that you think you should be able to view, but can't. I've combed through everything in my library and adjusted them to the appropriate tiers, but I may have missed a few qwq

Repeat - HD Sprite Pack 1

I'm a bit behind on posting all the HD art packs of my VNs, whoops. I'll be slowly dishing them out over the course of the next couple weeks for the folks who want to see the boys in high definition. These sprite packs are in much higher resolution than the ones in-game, so hopefully y'all will enjoy them!

Also, please view these sprites responsibly and reasonably. By downloading these files, you agree to not use my VN assets for any projects without permission or credit. Thanks!

Temptation's Ballad: Build 0.2.5.2 (September 14th, 2024)

Hi guys! I'm sorry for the delay again, job and family obligations kinda popped up at the same time and grounded me into a fine paste. But in any case, I'm back home and ready to roll out more TB updates! This build contains the start of Chapter 4 and will contain some setup for the story moving forward. It feels so nice to write these characters again tbh. And working with a screen that's not 4:3 qwq

All new art has been given this treatment, while older assets will be converted as more updates roll out.

Temptation's Ballad: Hotfix 0.2.5.1 (July 22nd, 2024)

Heyo! Rolling out another hefty QOL update for Temptation's Ballad. I'm trying out a new update schedule where I make more frequent, smaller updates every few weeks instead of my previous update per 1.5 months. In the past, the longer I spent working on an update, the more pressure I put on myself to make it even bigger and better to make it worth the wait. That inevitably made the update take even longer, and rinse and repeat.

I figured smaller but more frequent would keep me from burning out and y'all will get more stuff more quickly. Let me know how you guys like it ;w;/

Changelog:

  • Chapter 3 Character Glossary has been added! (Totals around 1512 words).

  • 3 new glossary artwork cards for Maeve, Calder, and Agatha.

  • 8 small glossary item illustrations.

  • All 4 of Prince Cassius' sprites have been reworked and cell-shaded!

  •  

  • Added a Replay button in the Gallery menu that allows you to replay select scenes throughout Temptation's Ballad! The scenes are unlocked as you play through the story. I hope y'all enjoy this new feature, it was a pain in the ass for my smooth brain to code QWQ

  • Note: this feature is not retroactive and you may need to replay the story to unlock the scenes, even if you have current save files.

  •  

  • Sounds are now muted when skipping through scenes. Your eardrums will no longer get blasted to smithereens.

Chapter 1 Revisions:

  • Every scene in Chapter 1 has been combed through and updated with more sprite animations and jiggles that y'all have seen in my more recent VN updates. Sprites now move around more dynamically as well.

  • More varied sound effects have been added where appropriate.

  • Instances of the "surprise.ogg" sound effect has been reduced from 61 to 15 in Chapter 1. Your eardrums are now safer.

  • The background art for the Grand Cathedral (both day/night) have been rerendered with the holy sword removed from its pedestal. That plot thread has since been cut from the story.

  • The church kids in Artemi's introduction scene now make a bigger deal about her being the Bishop's child, and wonder about "aren't bishops supposed to be celibate?"

  • A gentler version of Sidd's theme now plays when he talks about his mother in the fighting ring.

  • Slight retcon: All instances in Chapter 1 where Artemi was referred to as "The Vessel" has changed to "The Reservoir." For plot reasons. (It's a secret tool that'll help us later).

  • The cloaked figure now hates poor people slightly less. This was supposed to be a small thing in their backstory in the early concepts of the TB but I've since moved away from it.

  • Artemi now properly electrocutes Sidd when trying to heal or buff him, as per protocol.

Temptation's Ballad 0.2.5 - Maintenance Update (July 1st, 2024)

Heyo folks! Aaaaaand finally, here's our first Temptation's Ballad update in a long while. This is more of a maintenance update where I freshen up the game UI for the VN and other quality of life additions. For those itching for more story, I've added a new Min-Episode involving Cole and Wes that unlocks after finishing Chapter 1! The prologue of Chapter 1 has also been rewritten (you know, that exposition dump in the beginning with the weird poem) and now includes a sequence with 6 new CGs!

Community Links: (Twitter) (Discord) (New! Merch Store)

Windows: (Dropbox) (Mediafire)

Changelog:

  • Prologue at the beginning of Chapter 1 has been rewritten! The funky poem has been removed, and replaced with a short 473 word sequence with 6 new CGs!

  • Temptation's Ballad has now received a UI overhaul! In the main menu, you will now find an updated title card for the VN, along with several new options including a Gallery, Chapter Selection, and a Mini-Episodes menu.

  • Gallery page has been added, and includes all CGs thus far in Temptation's Ballad!..... except all the new ones added in this update. I'll add those to the gallery in the upcoming hotfix update ;;w;;

  • CGs are grey out until you've encountered them in your playthroughs.

  • New Chapter Select menu added!

  • New Mini-Episode menu added!

  • A new mini-episode "The Sheriff and the Rascal" is now unlockable after completing Chapter 1! (or just starting Chapter 2 in the chapter select menu). The episode contains a short story at 5,920 words.

  • Contains a sex scene with 2 new CGs and 3 animated segments! This marks the first animation to be added into Temptation's Ballad :D

  • New dialogue box and name plate UI!

  • Added a auto-play, back, and fast-forward button next to the dialogue box! The auto-play button is togglable and lights up when active.

  • The save, load, text history, and preference buttons have been relocated at the top right of the screen.

  • An additional button dedicated to hiding the UI has been added. This should be a great QOL for folks playing on their phone!

  • All 4 of Wes's sprites have been refined with clean lineart and cell-shading!

  • 9 of Artemi's sprites have been refined with clean lineart and cell-shading!

  • I plan to give all of Temptation's Ballad's character sprites this treatment over time. Unfortunately there will be some inconsistencies in the artwork while I make progress, with some characters having the new refined sprites while others are stuck with the old sketchy ones.

Bonus Art: Repeat Boys Cock Chart

This has long been requested but here's a peek at the Repeat cast's cock chart! Now you can do all the size comparisons you want >:3c

For those asking for exact measurements, I've never really had any exact inches in mind when drawing my characters lol. I've mostly decided their sizes relative to each other and just drew whatever felt right.

The piercings on Samuel's shlong is a bit of a retcon but I figured it gave his meat a bit more visual flare uwu

Repeat - Hotfix 0.8.1.1 (May 30th, 2024)

Hello folks! Here is the final update for Repeat for a long while (unless something game-breaking is in this one and slipped through my playtests ;w;)

Included in this hotfix are the usual grammar/typo fixes. Along with it are small dialogue/scene variations throughout Days 1-9 that change if you've completed one of the character routes. Nothing too story-changing, but it'll make things interesting for folks who occasionally replay the game.

Thank you so much for sticking with me on my Repeat journey! Now that this update is out, I will be hopping back into Temptation's Ballad >:D

EDIT (06/01/2024): Recompiled the update to fix a few issues listed in the changelog below. Sorry about the boo boo folks! QWQ

Community Links: (Twitter) (Discord) (New! Merch Store)

Windows: (Dropbox) (Mediafire)

MAC: (Dropbox) (Mediafire)

Linux: (Dropbox) (Mediafire)

Android: (Dropbox) (Mediafire)

Changelog:

  • Another wave of grammar/typo fixes courtesy of Crestfallen Crumpet's diligent reports!

  • 27 pages (7778 words) of scene/dialogue variations added throughout Days 1 to 9! These variations fairly minor and does not change the direction of the story, but are fun little easter eggs/lore drops for folks replaying the game. Variations are visible upon fully completing one of the character's routes (so only Sissel's route lmao)

  • Sissel's Route B - Days 22, 23, 24, and 30 have been added to the Chapter Select screen!

  • 1 new illustration! Reworked the Repeat title screen.

  • The title screen now changes slightly depending on which character routes you've fully completed.

  • Added "Reset Persistent Data" option on the main menu! This is for folks who want to replay Repeat as a fresh game and avoid scene/dialogue variations that occur after completing a route. Confirming this option will erase all persistent variables in your game saves. Your current save files on your machine will remain untouched.

  • EDIT (06/01/2024):

  • Fixed certain Chapter Select options taking you to the incorrect date.

  • Fixed certain scene variations not displaying properly.
