Mid-video update - It's Actually Mid Video! Edition

(CW: this post makes reference to IRL sexual abuse)

Hi everyone! I hope you all got to have a wonderful holiday season, and before I say anything else: thank you all for the seriously amazing support on this latest video! It's brought the Patreon up to almost $1,900, and it's surpassed any prior video in terms of views at over 60k in under 3 weeks! That is no small feat for a small channel, and I cannot say thank you all enough for it <3

The Creepypasta Visual Novel That Time Forgot

Patrons can view this video uncut!

Long before DDLC and other meta-horror VNs, there was a little game in 2004 that explored the harms of fiction, how roles are forced onto us, generational trauma and more, all with some haunting creepypasta vibes...

...that game, is Suisenka.

Mid-video update - IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!!! Edition

Hello everyone, and happy holidays!

This update is once again coming later than I intended it to because I've been working hard on getting this video completed - as well as just spacing out on writing this - but nevertheless, it is here, and I got some cool stuff to mention that'll be brought up in the upcoming video! The big one I'll mention here is that I have an actual proper camera now, so my footage should look WAY BETTER than it did in the last video. There's so much more detail, ...

The Creepypasta Visual Novel That Time Forgot (Script Preview)

It's time to get weird and obscure again folks. Taking a trip back to 2005 for one of the first meta visual novels, and one of the most fascinating ones! 

I've just about finished voice over for this, and hopefully within the next few weeks, the video will be up for Patrons to view a bit early! It'll also be going live earlier than usual, since I got a sponsor with a tighter than usual deadline (I promise it's a good sponsor, it's not Raid Shadow Legends or the other shady gacha ga...

Mid-video update - "Wait i'm actually ahead of schedule" edition

Hello all!

It's once again that time for the 'middle of the video' update thingy! Except... the new video is almost done. Oops. Ah well! I also don't have a ton to write in terms of life updates here. The main thing that happened is I went to the VCF Swap Meet, which was a blast. I got to meet cool people into cool old computers, I got a couple cool old computers, and it was just nice to spend time with a really close friend of mine.

And, as always, I wanna take a moment to thank ...

After many requests and a LOT of writing, I've finally fulfilled a nearly year long promise to cover Dasaku! And it left me with... many many thoughts.
Chances are this video may launch publicly on the 30th so I can have something spooky for halloween, but it will be up earlier for patrons in both fully uncensored and only-gore censored versions. The script it self is safe for work at least.

(IMPORTANT) Updates Regarding Content Access

Hi all,

First, let me reassure that I am NOT IMPLEMENTING NEW PAYWALLS. All content will still be accessible from the minimum pledge. That said. Because of how Patreon's changed their system, I have to change some things around these parts. Lemme break down what's happened.

So, Patreon's switched to their "new Patreon" system, and part of that is that tiers are now a necessity to be able to separate content by paid/unpaid. And furthermore, becau...

Mid (...post?) video update - yandere edition

Howdy everyone!

It's way past time for the mid-video update, which... yeah, I got carried away with just editing after the weekend and spaced out on actually doing the update. Sorry about that. But I don't have much to update on that wasn't mentioned in the video, other than that I am again incredibly thankful for the $1.5k/mo mark being hit!!

Like I said there, it is... very, very nice that I can make this my main job, and I don't have to stress as much about money. And plus, i...

Leaf is, without any doubt, one of the few visual novel developers to truly achieve ‘legendary’ status. But all legends have to start somewhere, and in 1996, it began with Shizuku - the game that invented visual novels and denpa... or did it?

Mid-video update - denpa waves edition

Hello again everyone!

It's that time again for another update, and this time... I guess things are actually getting back to my intended schedule? Turns out that having a private, quiet place to work with very few distractions means I can work at a reasonably fast pace. Huh. As it stands I don't really intend to make more than one video a month still - I feel that's a reasonable pace for how long and detailed each release is - but hopefully I run into less delays and snags in the proces...

Shizuku: The (False) Origin of Denpa, The (False) End of Adventure (Script Preview)

Turns out I can work fast when it's a short game that I don't like - I feel bad this script is shorter than the last few, but... I said what I think I was able to say, unless more comes to me and I make some major revisions. Either way, for now, here's the script for a video that many, many of you have been asking me to do.

Mid-video update - The Moving Edition

Howdy y'all!

It's that time again for an update on how things are going - starting with the fact that I'm successfully moved into a larger apartment! I've got my own completely private room now, a separate room for my music studio, and the whole place is just way bigger and more comfy. Hopefully it makes video production a bit easier now since I'll have less distractions, as my work space was always around other people at the old apartment.

Anywho, not too much to add to that besi...

Mid-video update - Horrendously Busy Edition

Hello all!

It's that time again for another update in the middle of video production -- which is... rather hectic this time, as I'm juggling a ton of different things. On top of two music jobs, I'm also working on getting ready to move, which means being in packing hell. It should all be over in a month or two, but as it stands right now I'm kind of overwhelmed with things to do.

That said, I've got no plans of taking a break with video production -- things are going smoothly, and...

Anime and FPS seem like two things that never quite got along, but that  isn't to say no one has tried - and in 2007, Black Cyc managed to bring  the two together along with elements from otome games and B-movies to  create an unforgettable boomer shooter visual novel. And the result is  one of the most unique games of th...
