Hello, hello! It’s the first week of summer in Brazil, and it’s so hot my backlog started evaporating. If this dev blog looks a little sweaty… It’s because it is.

Banshee is pretty much done with the new scene, just waiting to make the necessary variants!

Vane is at fault for the delay in the release. There’s no easy way to say this, but he had an episode of depression that was quite bad, and couldn’t really get himself in the headspace he needed to finish the romance scene he was writing. It wasn’t turning out well, and so he decided that it was probably best to take a step back and get back to it after he felt better. And he is feeling a lot better already! 

Finally, we'd like to once again thank you all for sticking around and having such patience with us! Please know we appreciate every single one of you and are incredibly thankful for your support! <3

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then


Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Hello, hello! Boy, it’s been a hot minute, hasn’t it? We… Uh… Our dog ate our homework, I swear!

Jokes aside, we know that the rate of releases dropped recently, and we’re very sorry for that. We had to take a few side jobs to keep our personal finances going, and that has been eating away at our time. I don’t think we can ever go back to the two-week release schedule, but we can certainly do better than what we have been doing lately. So rest assured that we are talking and figuring things out to make sure we can continue to deliver content at a good pace.

For all of you who stuck with us and continue to support us. Thank you so very much. Words are not enough to express how much we appreciate all of you!

Now that the mea culpa is done, let’s talk Rise! Everything seems in order for a release this weekend, hopefully on Friday if everything goes well. This build will get back to the main story, with a scene for every single significant other. Seems Marius is into goddesses as well as he’s getting an extra special spicy scene with Catherine!

Other than that, there is also a neutral scene that sets up the next development of the game. The final one this time! We’re fast approaching the end of the story. Will Catherine be able to defeat the Adversary, or will she falter? We shall be finding it out very soon!

Once again, we'd like to thank all of you who stuck around and continue to support us! You're the best! Please accept our undying love.

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Early Access Build v0.12.10

TLDR: This build adds the training part of the new Slave Route with Antoinette!

Download Links: Drive

Back due to unpopular demand: us! And with a brand new build, too!

Now, we are well aware that this build took forever to finish (that certainly kept me awake more than a few nights), both due to some unforeseen circumstances and, being completely honest, some of that good ol' lack of motivation. We are working on that, and rest assured, we are determined to finish this project no matter what. So some builds may take a while (hopefully not as long as this one, yeesh), but they will keep coming for sure!

As an apology to our absolutely wonderful community, we decided to release the new build for free! We hope that will somehow make up for the time you guys waited for it, and that you'll enjoy what we put together on this one!

As stated above, this new build continues the Slave Route with Antoinette. Witness Catherine's most exciting training arc yet, and choose what flavor of pet she'll be! Is she poised and dignified, neutral and dedicated, or submissive and breedable? So many options! Please let us know which one is your favorite! <3

Help! A terrible curse has befallen our household. After years of resisting this terrible blight, I was peer-pressured by Mr. Banshee into playing Magic: The Gathering. I tried my best to banish this foul, addicting scourge from our lives, but it was to no avail. I am now the proud owner of a very fun Dinosaur deck. Commander, anyone?

Vane had a good start to this development cycle, and then life got in the way. There was a virus that swept over his house, and he got sick, then his mother, and then his sister. He just felt terrible for a couple of days, but his mother and sister ended up having to go to the hospital, and the whole thing just threw his focus out of whack. He found himself procrastinating from work by working on his pet project—a visual novel engine that fixes many issues with the current Rise engine, but also builds upon it by improving many other areas, rather than working on the next Rise update. He’s sorry about that and is working around the clock to make up for it so we can deliver the next update this weekend!

Banshee is pretty much done with the new scene! She had to stop to work on a few commissions along the way, but the art is now nice and pretty and she just needs to work on a few variants, and everything will be ready for shipping.

Now, since the build is very close to completion, we decided to release the newest build for our Wicked Apprentices ($5) and the free build a bit earlier, so go grab those if you haven't already!

Finally, we'd like to thank all of you, incredible, lovely, amazing people for continuing to support us and our work! You're welcome to stop by for a match of Commander whenever; we have so many snacks! So many.

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all very soon for a new build! Until then,

Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Hello, hello! It's been a hot minute, hasn't it? Or rather, a cold minute. I miss breathing through my nose, but it's definitely better than melting in the summer!

Vane worked on the next scene for the slave route until he got to the part where we would add a CG. Then he stopped and waited for Banshee to draw it so he got the specifics right in his writing, as it will involve the use of a… “Pilates” machine. While waiting, Vane worked on the continuation of the main storyline and began writing a short scene for each of the love interests as they react to the latest development and figure out what that means for them.

Banshee started working on a new scene with Antoinette, and as mentioned before, it makes use of a piece of pilates equipment. If you've ever been to a pilates studio or a physical rehab center, you know which one I'm referring to here... I mean, c'mon, it just screams BDSM.

(I think it's called a Cadillac, if you have no idea what I'm talking about.)

Anyway! Banshee also worked on revitalizing a few older CGs that would have been abandoned since the Slave Route kinda substitutes the Brothel and Game Over scenes, and there is no need to let perfectly fine scenes go to waste! So we'll keep working to implement them on the new route with Antoinette. <3

Finally, we'd like to thank all of you wonderful, amazing people, for your continued support! I know we haven't been updating you all as much as we should lately, but rest assured, we are still working on new scenes and builds, and we thank you all IMMENSELY for your patience. You guys are the best!

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Early Access Build v0.12.9

EDIT: This version is now available for everyone!

This new build adds the beginning of the Slave Route, as well as thick and fit body options for Catherine!

Download links: Drive

Why, hello there! Hope you all have been well! Wait, what is this... smut?! In MY Rise of the White Flower? Preposterous!

We are thrilled to finally be releasing a new build (one with sexy scenes, woo!). Sadly, Vane passed out from exhaustion right after sending me the build, so I don't have the specific word count and scene details at the moment. I'll edit the post with everything when he wakes up in... probably a day or two!

But anyway, this build adds the beginning of the Slave Route. There's a new dommy sugar mommy in town, and Catherine is looking scrumptious with all that college debt... You have a few options of settling the matter, but one of them might be a bit more appealing than the others. We also added a neat little button on the main menu to get you straight to the scenes, if you want to get right into it without having to start a new save!

And, just in case you ever thought Catherine wasn't nearly as curvy or fit enough, we have good news for you. It nearly broke the code, and the programmer at times, but we added a more voluptuous body option, as well as a nice set of abs for our dear Cath. We did a lot of testing, and everything should be working properly with most of the outfits and accessories, but please let us know if anything looks funky so we can fix it asap!

As always, we hope you all enjoy this new build, and please tell us what you think of it! <3

Hello, hello! Anyone else enjoying the game of the decade, Expedition 33? This is the sort of game that makes me glad to be a writer. I'm just getting so inspired by it. It's such an amazing game. I recommend it to everyone.

Vane has been having a hard time with work because of his wrist. For a while, he was compensating by typing single-handed with his left hand, but now that hand has started hurting too, so life hasn’t exactly been daijoubu lately.

That said, Vane set up some text-to-speech tools, and he’s finally gotten used to using them for work. Thanks to that, he’s been able to write a good amount again—without destroying his wrists in the process. Now he can finally give them some time to heal without having to put work on pause.

Banshee continued her work on the new scene, as well as the new sprite for Antoinette, and some new sprite pieces for Catherine! Gosh, the new Antoinette is looking so much better. She gives me strong "Mommy? Sorry. Mommy? Sorry" vibes, which should be pretty fitting for the new route!

Finally, we'd like to thank all of you, lovely people, for continuing to support us and our work! If not for you, we'd probably have perished in this long summer! Now it's finally chilly again, and we can all be happy with our warm teas and sweaters... if you're here in the southern hemisphere, at least.

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! Damn, why did no one tell me about savory oats before? Here I was, limiting myself to sweet oats like a FOOL, when I could have been eating them for lunch and dinner as well! Smh.

Vane is trying to focus on coding while his wrist heals, working on the accessory system to accommodate more body types for our dear Catherine. He is also slowly but surely working on the new scenes for the route!

Banshee is working on smut again. Hooray! She's finally starting the art part of the slave route, and we hope you guys like it! She also continued to work on the unfinished character sprites.

Finally, we'd like to thank you all for continuing to support us and our work. You guys are the best! And I think y'all gotta stop being so hot because goddamn it it's warm again here, and I just want to feel a bit cold from time to time... please.

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! This is a special weekend edition brought to you by yours truly, Banshee! It's a special edition because weekends are notoriously more fun, and totally not because she kept getting distracted by various things because she has the attention span of a goldfish with ADHD. Trust me! Oh shit, did I remember to turn off the stove?

Vane, after fixing his schedule and improving his workload, had started feeling an old wrist injury coming back to haunt him. Thankfully, he found out text-to-speech technology has improved greatly, and he has been able to work even with a busted wrist. Let's just hope his family is not around when he has to write the slave route sex scenes.

Banshee worked mostly on finishing Zahiri's pretty sprite and experimenting with adding more body type options to Catherine's sprite, so you can expect an even curvier alternative for our beloved wizard, as well as some scrumptious abs! Cath is becoming so overpowered that it should be illegal. She also took over working on one of M's backgrounds, since she is temporarily out of commission!

Finally, we'd like to thank all of our wonderful friends and supporters for continuing to support us and our work! None of this would be possible without you, so go take some well-deserved rest over what we hope is a lovely weekend, full of the things you love!

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic (following) week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! First things first: yes, we’re alive. Yes, this is a new dev blog. And yes, we know it’s been... a minute!

Last weekend, we finally made the Battle of Valante release. A few issues delayed it, but we poured our hearts into it, so we hope you’ll enjoy what we cooked up!

We’re now getting to the final events of the game. There is just one more thing left to do before Catherine can ride into the sunset with her significant other. Of course, then there’s the whole epilogue to do, the routes and scenes that we still want to add that will come earlier in the story, and, of course, the Great Edit. So, we’ve plenty more work to do on Rise before we’re ready to say goodbye to it.

Coming next, we'll be working on the aftermath of the latest events and Catherine's romantic partners' reactions to her latest... power upgrade! We'll also be working on the slave route next, and possibly on some neglected romance routes, before diving back into the main storyline.

Finally, we would like to thank all of our wonderful friends and patrons for continuing to support us and our work! You're the best, and we couldn't do what we do without you all!

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Why, hello there! Damn, it's been a hot minute, hasn't it? First off, we're sorry for the long wait, and thank you so much for sticking with us so far! It took a while to put all the variants for this build together, but we hope you enjoy the new scenes.

This update finally dives into the Siege of Valante, with multiple branching paths depending on the choices you've made so far. And oh, we also added a new possible ally for those who chose not to contact the Alarians or the Edhelians, which may or may not be related to one of Catherine's most trusted allies!

We hope you enjoy what we've put together, and as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the new build! <3

Hello, hello! Phew. Summer is almost over and the temperatures are finally going down. I’m finally able to go out and exercise without overheating after five minutes again! I’ve also been watching a bunch of short clips from Family Guy on YouTube and… They’re… Funny? Is this normal or has the heat fried my brain?


Vane is still working on the grand finale of the siege. It’s taking him way longer than he anticipated because he spent so long setting everything up that if the payoff is not amazing, everything will just fall flat, so he’s been doing a lot of staring at the page and the page has started to stare back at him. That being said, it’s getting there, slowly but surely.

Banshee continued to work on the illustrations needed for the new scenes. However, she had a little setback this past week as her mother broke her leg, and as Banshee was the only person available to take care of her, she ended up neglecting her work hours a little more than she had hoped for. Alas, her dad will be able to take over for her the next week, so she'll have plenty of time to catch up!

Finally, we would like to thank all of our wonderful friends and patrons for continuing to support us and our work! We wish you lots of health, and be careful around tennis courts! They are apparently quite dangerous, especially if you're an elderly woman.

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! Send help. We are still melting. And it seems it will get even hotter by the end of the week. Oh, winter my beloved, where art thou?

Vane, after a couple of rough weeks, seems to have shaken off his little writer's block and is in full swing on the siege battle scenes! There are quite a few alternatives on this one depending on the allies you've chosen, or if you haven't chosen any at all! Personally, I think the hardest part is choosing between all of those hot pirate people.

Banshee continued to work on a few characters (mostly hot villains), started on some illustrations for the siege scenes, and finished working on the variants for the latest smut scene! So yes, the complete version is finally going into the game this time. Phew!

Finally, we'd like to thank you all for continuing to support us and our work! Just like the rising temperatures, your generosity is through the roof! We’re melting (with gratitude) over here and can’t thank you enough for keeping us going. You're the best! <3

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! Y’know… The main issue with the heat is not the heat itself, it's not getting drenched in sweat or anything like that. It’s just how oppressive and unrelenting it is. Even at night, it's still hot as shit and after months of this your willpower just starts to wane and all you can think of is nuking the sun because oblivion feels better than enduring another day of this oppression!

Vane had mostly recovered from his illness at the beginning of the week, but his willpower had been drained by the combination of heat and disease. He took it easy on Monday and then decided just to give Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 a try. Just to see if it was good! That was a huge mistake.

A-anyway, after wasting two days he got back to work, he wrote the secret part of the allies storyline which is reserved for the silly people who refused to ally with either Edhelia or Alaria. But we’re keeping this one a surprise for now!

Banshee worked mostly on characters for the new scenes, including [redacted]! Hey, it's a character that has existed since before Rise was a thing, so please forgive us for being a little excited. Banshee's workflow is still a bit slow since she's still figuring out her wrist's limitations, but she has been mostly pain-free for a little while now, so that's a pretty neat thing!

Finally, we'd like to thank all of you wonderful people for continuing to support us and our work! Hey, is it hot in here, or is it just you?

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! We are once again facing our number one nemesis: the Brazillian Summer! Please pray for our melting souls.

So, after what seemed like a billion years, we finally managed to get another release out! Phew! So many things happened to delay it that we almost started believing an evil curse was upon us. Hopefully, the curse has passed by now, and we can finally aim for a few quicker releases to make up for it starting with this next one, where we will focus on advancing the main questline by finishing the siege once and for all!

There’s another scene that needs to be written before, that deals with the supply shortage of people who didn’t ally with either Edhelia or Alaria. Luckily for them, someone else is keeping an eye on Catherine’s expedition (I want to spoil this so bad, but I must resist)! After that, it’s the siege. With the barrier finally destroyed, Catherine’s legion will be able to storm the walls and attempt to take the city once and for all. Will she be able to, or will the Adversary’s defenses prove too strong?

Finally, we'd like to thank all of our wonderful friends and supporters for continuing to support us and our work! Just like the heat index this week, you're all off the charts!

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

  • The Boys

    • 3 variants of the scene for Casual, Submissive, and Romantic sex.

---------------------------

Why, hello there! We are, in fact, not dead. But, Jesus. This one took a while, didn't it?

We're sorry for the long wait. Many things got in the way of this release being out sooner. From computer problems, Banshee's wrist exploding, and Vane rewriting Victor's scene four times because he wasn't happy with it. We'll be working hard to keep this from happening again!

This new build adds two scenes without Catherine. The first one is about Marius confronting Victor about the changes in his behavior lately. Someone has finally gotten suspicious! The second scene should actually fire after Eleanor's duel with Shizuko, but it will of course be added for you all if you're past that scene already. It actually is a conversation between the Adversary and her two top lieutenants! Will we finally be able to see the horrible evil that has been the driving force behind this war? Well, not really, Banshee's wrist broke, remember? Which leads us neatly into the last scene, Victor's romance scene. You'll get a nice friend's night out scene if you're not romancing him. If you're on a casual route with him and not romancing anyone who demands monogamy, you'll also get the option of getting freaky. And, finally, if you're in a romance route with him, you get a more romantic scene instead that shuffles into either a romantic romp or a submissive sex scene, depending on your choice in Victor's previous romance scene.

Now! We're a little short on art for this release because Banshee is broken. She's somewhat recovered, but she's easing herself back into work. She managed to get the CG ready for the release, but not all the variants we usually add.

In any case, we hope you all enjoy this new build, and as always, please let us know what you think about it! <3

Hello, hello! Banshee is so proud of her new cats that she’s always going out of her way to do a cat cam and stream her cats on Discord. Maybe now’s the time to put pressure on her to do some streams again?

Vane had a bit of trouble getting back into the hang of things. His keyboard was bugged with keys just randomly not registering and disrupting his flow incessantly. He bought a new keyboard but for some reason the company he bought it from sent through the regular mail which just took unnecessarily long to arrive because the Brazilian mail sucks. Still, he is armed with a new and more powerful keyboard, truly an AK-47 for writers! Typing on it feels so good that he is even working more than usual just for the pleasure of typing more.

Keyboard and vacation rust aside, Vane has started working fully on the new scenes. He spent quite a lot of his vacation playing VN’s and reading romance novels and I believe it has had a clear impact on his work. He is convinced that he is writing some of his best scenes ever since he came back to work. Of course, talks about him wanting to apply his newfound skill to rewriting the whole game fills us with dread, please, I don’t want to spend all of my life working on this game, Vane!

Banshee is feeling her wrist getting gradually better, and is slowly getting back to work! She resumed her work on the latest CG (to finally finish it this time!), as well as a couple of new characters. Since she feels her wrist might be recovering on its own, she decided to wait on the surgery a bit longer (especially since the possible side effects spooked her a little bit).

Finally, we'd like to thank you all, wonderful people, for continuing to support us and our work! I bet you're almost as cute as Banshee's cats (god they are so cute)! <3

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! How does one even start the first dev blog of the year? Let's see, what's new? Vane fixed his sleep schedule and rested for once! Banshee adopted two little void kittens and they are the cutest little things!

Anyway, we’re back, baby! So, let’s get straight to the crux of the matter. Banshee’s wrist is still more or less the same, as the splint and medicine treatment didn't really work as she hoped. She was a brave camper and said she could put the surgery off for a while longer and just start working again, but honestly, now might be the best time for her to do the surgery since her wrist is well-rested, so I told her to do it as soon as possible! She wants to test the waters a bit and see if her wrist acts up as she gets back to work this week, but if she ends up doing the surgery, she might take up to two or three months to fully recover.


(Banshee absolutely dreading the recovery time, possible side effects, and the surgery itself. But hey, at least she won't have to wash the dishes for another 2 months!)

What will be of Necro Bunny and Rise of the White Flower while she’s away? Well, I’m still here, and I’ll continue working. We’ll just have to make do without CGs for a few releases, which will suck, but hey — after Banshee comes back, she will have a super wrist capable of putting up with 12-hour shifts 6 days a week. She’ll make up for it in no time at all! Isn’t that right, Banshee? (Yes, of course. I'll see if the doctors can install those fancy new android wrists!)

Now, we’ve been caught a bit by surprise by Banshee’s imploding wrist, so it’s kinda tricky for us to give you a nice timeline of what we want to achieve this year. But I for one think it’s about time we finished the main story! Finishing the main story won’t mean that we are done with the game — there’s plenty still to fix and add, chief among them the ever-promised and never-delivered slave route and Kyo romance for the two most degenerate groups in our fandom. We also want to continue expanding on the new layered Catherine sprite by adding more tattoos and accessories. And who knows? Maybe Vane will even implement the cheat to unlock all outfits after 4 years. One can dream, right?

Finally, we'd like to begin this wonderful year of 2025 by thanking all of you, our amazing friends, patrons, and supporters. We hope this new year brings you endless joy, success, health, and beautiful memories! Here's to a bunch of new adventures together!



And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! I got into conversations with a few different people and realized that no one likes sad games/movies/books like I do. Is it weird to play something like Bloodborne where the world has no hope, everyone is dead or broken, and all endings are bad and be like: “Damn! That’s peak fiction!”?

Banshee is still injured, but at least now she knows what's going on! After a few doctor's appointments and exams, turns out she has a sizeable ganglion cyst pressing on her tendons. That sounded a bit scary at first, but hopefully, that'll be taken care of with proper medication and wearing a splint for 3 weeks (if not, she'll have to remove it surgically, but the recovery time for that is also quite quick!).

Vane, was mostly just waiting for Banshee to finish the CG. She told him that she thought would be able to, but her injury was still holding her back, and he realizes now that he should have just done the release without art. Welp, too late now. He worked on a few other scenes, most notably the Slave route that he is preparing for implementation, and also started working on the engine upgrades again!

Now, even though Banshee couldn't finish the scene because of her pain, we decided to make the release with the partially finished CG this weekend anyway! We apologize for this incomplete release, and we promise we'll make it up to you all as soon as Banshee has recovered!

Finally, we'd like to thank you all for continuing to support us and our work, especially in times like these. We appreciate each and every one of you, and just like that one ending in Bloodborne, we'd love you all even if you were a weird little worm.

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! Last week, I got confirmation that we are, indeed, living in the worst timeline. I had to watch Mike Tyson step into the ring at 99 years of age and get beat up for 15 minutes. Then, to add insult to injury, I had to watch Jon Jone beat old man Miocic and walk out of the cage acting like that was a legacy-defining title fight while he continued to duck Aspinall. Call me old, but I miss the old days.


Banshee is still injured, but slowly recovering and getting back to work! Now, rest assured she's taking things slow in order not to injure herself further, but still trying to move things along so you're not waiting much longer for a release!


Vane found himself in a conundrum. With Banshee’s injury, he was not sure what to do. After thinking for a bit, he decided to write scenes that wouldn’t require any new art. After drawing a blank for a few days, he realized that he would need to write random shit for that because all scenes he had planned would require some form of art to be fully realized. At which point he said, fuck it, and just started writing the next logical scenes.

Finally, we'd like to thank all of our wonderful friends and supporters for continuing to support us and our work! We may be on the worst timeline for wrestling, but you make this the best timeline for us! <3


And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then


Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Hello, hello! I can’t believe we missed last week’s dev blog! Shameful display!


So, we have been hard at work and our objective was to have a new release out as soon as possible, but disaster struck us. Banshee has had a problematic relationship with her wrist for a few years now, often when she had to crunch for work she would get a lot of pain on her wrist. It’s the nature of Patreon that we don’t get to take too much time off from work and so she just soldiered on, always pushing going to the doctor to treat her wrist for another day. Well, her wrist felt like not being ignored anymore. She is in a lot of pain and has been barely able to move her wrist for a few days now. Unfortunately, that means she is unable to work, and progress on the next release has come to a screeching halt. Vane will still be working, and trying to do what he can to keep content coming without art because we really need to give Banshee time for her to heal and recover from this, otherwise, it will affect not only her work with us but her entire career going forward. So please, bear with us!


Finally, we’d like to thank all of you for your wonderful support, and for your patience! Banshee is really sorry she didn't get her wrist checked out sooner, but she's determined to take proper care of this issue so she can get back to drawing lewds for you all as soon as possible, and avoid this kind of pain in the future. (On a brighter note, she's really enjoying getting free passes on laundry and dish-washing.)

Oh, and last but not least, a special thank you to our dear friend Stressful, who was kind enough to make this wonderful banner for us. We'll treasure it always!


And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next week for another dev blog! Until then

Hello, hello! Happy spookiest of days to you all! Hope everyone had a wonderful day full of treats!


Banshee is continuing to work on the scene with Victor! She showed the work in progress to a few of her friends and heard a lot of "holy shit, nice" and "what are you doing to this poor girl", so she thinks she's on the right track!

Vane was actually sick during the release crunch but he kept at it because he didn’t want to see the build delayed again. He tried to just keep going after the release was out too, but at some point, his willpower fully ran out and he had to spend a day in bed to recover a little bit. Other than that, he’s working on a scene with Victor. It will have the full complement of variants, a non-sexual conversation, casual sex, for the people living that harem life, and either romantic or dirty, dirty hardcore sex for the folks on his romance route.

On another note, we were invited to join a Halloween Bundle on Itch.io! It's definitely full of goodies, so give it a look if you're craving some extra treats for tonight! <3

Finally, we would like to thank our patrons for continuing to support us! Your support means the world, and it’s what keeps us going! Thanks for being such an awesome part of our community—we’re excited to keep bringing you more!


And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all this weekend for another release, this one full of Victor goodies! Until then

Hello, hello! It... it's starting to get really warm again. I'm scared of summer, please hold me- wait, never mind, it's too hot for that!


Last weekend we finally released the fabled Catherine Update! This one took a LOT longer than we could have expected, and we were so happy to have it out there finally. We apologize for keeping you waiting for so long and thank you all for your patience! What started as a cool little idea to add a few customizations for Catherine turned into a complete overhaul of all her sprites, and the sprite system overall, which cost us a bit of our sanity, but we think it was well worth it.

Now, what is new, you may ask? Well, Catherine is finally the prettiest character in the game (as she should be), and we've included redesigns of a few of her oldest outfits, a new hairstyle, and a goth make-up variant to her expressions! New and improved Cath also has several accessory options, including tattoos, lewd writing, piercings, scars, and markings! We plan on adding more options in future updates, but we hope y'all enjoy the selection we came up with so far.

As for the next update, we're focusing on getting some lewds your way as soon as possible, so fret not! We have a very steamy scene with our resident edgy demon man already in the works, as well as new additions to the accessory system, so please look forward to that!


Finally, we would like to thank all our wonderful, amazing, fantastic friends and supporters for continuing to support us and our work! You're the best, and we are so incredibly grateful for you all!

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic weekend, and we’ll see you on the next Monday for another dev blog! Until then,


Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Early Access Build v0.12.6 (The Catherine Update)

EDIT: This version is now available for everyone! <3


Download links here! Drive | Mega

Content added:

  • Catherine Overhaul

  • Accessory System

----------------------------------

Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? We've missed you all, how have you been?

I think it goes without saying that this build took WAY longer than any of us predicted. This whole thing started with us having an idea to let you all have some extra customizations for your Catherines, and ended with us completely remaking all of her sprites. Now that we think about it, it wasn't worth it (it absolutely was, we love The Final Catherine™), the sheer amount of work and bugs that came out of this was staggering!

We did our best testing and fixing bugs, but with a game this size, we're sure we missed some things (and it's going to keep us awake tonight), so please let us know if you encounter some bugs in the wild, or if anything looks odd! We'll have that fixed as soon as we can. We did consider holding onto this build a bit longer to be sure, but it didn't feel right delaying it any longer!

Now, what exactly is new here, you may ask? We have a brand new, prettier-than-ever Catherine, complete with a few outfit re-designs, a new hairstyle, and a goth make-up variant to all her expressions! She also comes with several accessory options, including tattoos, lewd writing, piercings, scars, and markings! We plan on adding more and more stuff in future updates, but we hope y'all enjoy the selection we have so far.

Finally, we'd like to apologize for such a long development cycle! We assure you the next ones won't be nearly as long as this one, and we'll be back with more scenes sooner than you might think! As always, we hope you all enjoy this new build, and please let us know what you think about it! <3

Hello, hello! Welcome to the big dev blog of shame! Shame, shame, shame!


Banshee basically worked on adapting/remaking most of the remaining outfits, and whatever assets Vane needed for the build!


Unfortunately, implementing all the accessories didn’t go as smoothly as Vane thought it would go. He ended up with various unexpected bugs that forced him to change a fair amount of the code that handles the characters of the game. Integrating the new changes without breaking save files also proved a bit of a challenge, and then there was just the sheer number of new menu assets that had to be implemented. TL;DR it’s taking longer than Vane expected to implement the new features, they were almost all ready last weekend and he could have rushed forward and finished it all, but we would be releasing it without doing proper testing and that would just turn into a bigger headache down the line, so Vane decided that it was best to hold off on the release for another week. He’s very sorry about it.


Finally, this has been the longest development cycle yet and the reason why we have refrained from doing sweeping system changes and from implementing big new systems into the game. We have a fair amount of Patreon traffic that is just people becoming patrons to get the latest build and leaving immediately after, so staying so long without releasing a build not only loses us patrons but also means those transitory patrons don’t come our way.

Honestly, we always felt too scared to do long development cycles to implement these more drastic changes to the game for those reasons. But we want to take this moment to thank all of you who have stuck with us through this and so much more, everyone who has been supporting us for a long time, and no matter what, you are the real MVP. We simply wouldn’t have the confidence to do what we’re doing if it weren't for all of your support and encouragement. You are all some of the finest folks we have ever met and we really can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us. So instead, we’ll continue working hard to give you all the best games we possibly can!


Oh, almost forgot! Here are the official results from the latest poll! As always, thank you so much to everyone who voted! <3

And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all this Friday for the release of this elusive build, until then,


Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Hello, hello! I finally decided to revive my Kindle this past week! I downloaded a book recommended to me and started reading without really checking the synopsis... only to find out it was werewolf smut.


Banshee is pretty much done with Catherine's assets and accessories! Now she's just working on adapting/remaking as many optional outfits as she can before the release!


Vane received the assets for the new Catherine, the final Catherine, and the accessories and is hard at work implementing it all! Boy is she looking good!


Finally, we would like to thank all of our wonderful friends and supporters for continuing to support us and our work! If you were a monster smut book, you'd be a best-selling masterpiece for sure.


And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you on the next one for another dev blog! Until then,


Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Hello, hello! A most terrible fate has befallen me this past week, one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. That's right! I'm being forced to do cardio every single day, and I fear I won't last much longer in these conditions... But hey, at least I get to pick the songs!


Banshee is finally almost done with the rework/accessory system! She has worked on tasteful tattoos, piercings, scars, slap and whip marks, lewd writing, womb tattoos, and more! She's also working on a couple more outfits, hairstyles... phew, it's a lot! But it's almost done, and we'll be back to drawing lewd scenes very soon!


Vane is still waiting for all the assets he needs to implement the new Catherine and the accessory system, so he has been keeping himself busy however he can. He continued his quest to add more flexibility to the game files, allowing for more control of the game through the text files. It's not that hard to add extra functions, the main issue comes with making sure the history system and the save system understand all these new conditions and can handle them properly.

Progress has been slow but he's making progress nonetheless. He has also begun working on writing the next scene for the game, but this one is for the next next release, so we'll keep it a surprise for now!


Finally, we would like to thank all of you wonderful people for continuing to support us and our work! Like 20 minutes of cardio, you make our hearts beat oh so much faster!


And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you on the next one for another dev blog! Until then,


Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Fetish poll

As time goes by, people come and go. We would like to have a better idea about the profile of our players and what you guys are expecting to see in the game going forward!

Hello, hello! The wind seems to be blowing the smoke deeper inland and away from the shore. I wouldn’t want to live near the Andes right about now, that will probably suck for a few weeks. But I saw the sun today! It was beautiful, and hot (the worst kind of hot), but beautiful!


Banshee is currently going through the near-herculean task of re-doing all of Catherine's expressions! Thankfully they are coming along nicely, and our girl will be more expressive than ever (as if she needed any more expressiveness with her 29 facial sprites, hehe)! Her work with the new accessory system is also going smoothly!

Vane felt like he had recovered and went back to work, but hah! It was all a trick, the disease deceived him! It came back full force and left him bedridden for a few more days. Eventually, he recovered and went back to work peace-meal, he focused on writing a few more scenes since his head was still a little wobbly and he didn’t want to risk fucking up his code.


Now we'd like to thank everyone who voted on our accessory poll, now we have a better idea of what areas we should focus on. Tasteful Tattoos ended up above Lewd Tattoos, what a twist! Though of course, nothing could beat nipple piercings and womb tattoos, so that restores my faith in our collective degeneracy.

(edit: completely forgot to add the actual results! Gotta stop making posts when I'm almost asleep in my chair.)


Finally, we'd like to thank all of you wonderful folk for continuing to support us and our work! Not even with 29 expression sprites we could express just how grateful we are to all of you! <3


And that about wraps it up for today. We hope you all have a fantastic week, and we’ll see you all next Monday for another Dev Blog! Until then,


Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!
