Hello, hello! Boy, I have never seen this before. They’re burning the Amazon forest so much that the country has been blanketed by a thick smog that makes it look like the apocalypse is upon us. Is that the trumpets of the Rapture that I hear?

Banshee continued to work on Catherine's redesign and new accessories! As you can see from the thumbnail, she'll have a brand new base outfit (which is much better than the old one, in my humble opinion), and new hairstyles to go along with her fancy update.

Vane hit a wall of, “I need stuff from Banshee to keep doing my work”, so he started to write again and is getting a few future scenes going. He also got sick, and was out with a fever and all sorts of weird symptoms. He’s going through a weird loop of feeling better and then feeling worse again. I do wonder if the horrible air quality has something to do with it…

Now we had hoped to release the next build this weekend, but given that both Banshee and Vane got knocked down by disease, we’re a bit behind schedule. So we decided to delay the release a little bit, so we have enough time to get back on track and implement everything properly!

Finally, we'd like to once again thank all of you, lovely friends and supporters, for continuing to support us and our work! I was going to make a cheesy joke about our hearts burning with gratitude or something, but the timing might be a bit poor. Still eternally grateful tho! <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!!!

Hello, hello! As you might have read in the last dev blog, Banshee has become a cake-baking machine. Yet when I visited her several months ago, I was not welcomed with cake! This abhorrent situation leaves us with only two possibilities: either Banshee is lying about her cakiness, or she is willingly withholding cake from me… Both are equally terrifying.

Banshee did a big goof! Vane timely delivered this dev blog to her on Monday, but she started feeling quite sick, and her feverish mind completely forgot to post it. She will have to bake a humongous number of cakes to earn yours, and Vane's forgiveness. Aside from that, Catherine's rework is going smoothly! Banshee is not dreading working on her for a change (it is actually very refreshing!), and she's taking that as an absolute win.

Vane built has been working on a new, and improved, version of the engine. He’s building it separately to be easily used to start new projects, but he’s stealing all the new cool features and adding them on Rise. That being said, many of the more visual options would look weird if they only showed up at the end of the story, so he’s mainly just importing the improvements to the workflow behind the scenes. Stuff that will make our lives easier and allow for quicker implementation of scenes, which will lead to an increase in productivity!

Finally, we would like to thank all of our wonderful friends and patrons for continuing to support us and our work! We wish you all lots and lots of health, and be safe out there! You never know when a random guy is going to sneeze next to you and ruin your week. Dangerous times indeed!

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,

Hello, hello! I can't think of anything silly to share other than I have become the baking machine. I baked three cakes this weekend. Mr. Banshee is begging me to stop, tears running down his face, his calorie-counting app spamming red alerts, but cannot be stopped! I WILL NOT BE STOPPED!

Anyway, y'all want some carrot cake?

Banshee worked on oh, so many sprites! She started rendering a few of the newer characters, but by far the most exciting part of her week was Catherine's rework! She has a long road ahead since Cath has many hairstyles and outfits she'll have to either adapt to the new sprite or re-do entirely, but things are going smoothly so far, and she and Vane are very happy they decided to do this.

Vane started to work on the new accessory system. At first, the plan was for it to be just something that would show up when Catherine was naked, but we decided that was boring. So Vane worked on splitting the layers and altering the code so that Catherine’s body and clothing were on separate layers instead of the same one. With that done, it now means that if Catherine’s clothing has some exposed skin, it will show the accessories she is wearing in those areas. Everything is progressing nicely, and we’re looking forward to sharing the new system with you guys soon!

Finally, we'd like to thank you all once again for continuing to support us and our work! Twitter might be banned in Brazil, but you'll never be banned from our hearts.

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!!!

Accessory System Poll!

Hello, hello! Boy, do we have the poll for you guys! In case you’re not aware yet, we’re going full steam into the accessory system! This will involve reworking Catherine’s clothing layer so that accessories/tattoos can show up wherever she has exposed skin. The only thing left to figure out now is which type of accessories we should focus on.

To that extent, we prepared this little poll! You’ll notice it’s divided into main categories (all capitalized) and sub-categories (only first letters capitalized). You can vote for how many of them you want, we will be adding a little bit of everything, but this poll will help us decide which areas to prioritize.

Oh! And if you have any suggestions for particular accessories/tattoos/etc, let us know in the comments!

Hello, hello! It’s still so goddamn cold. Why is it so cold? It was 4°C last night. That sort of temperature should be illegal in Brazil! Can you even understand what it’s like to go out on the streets and see all women wearing heavy coats rather than tube tops and hot pants?

So the last release cycle was pretty abysmal… I really don’t have an excuse for it. It was a mix of outside factors and a lack of drive to pull crazy hours and make up for them. To be perfectly honest, after working on Rise for over four years, we’re both pretty tired of looking at Catherine’s face. These days it seems like we spend more time talking about other projects we want to do than talking about Rise. That’s only compounded by the fact that Rise always seems to be one year away from being done, but we have been saying that for two years now. 

Well. That’s just a bunch of excuses, isn’t it? If we’re tired, we just need to find a way to revive the drive that we had when we first started the project. I guess that involves doing new things, like implementing new systems, for example! Updates without new scenes always do very poorly and lose us a lot of patron members, so we always prioritize getting new scenes out, but there’s only so much we can handle of writing/drawing porn week in and week out. So for this next update, we’ll be taking a break from that. Vane will do some sweet, sweet programming, and Banshee will finally get the time to finish up the backlog of characters we have.

So on Vane’s end, he’ll work on writing a bunch of code that will speed up his development process and allow him to make changes to the structure of previous scenes without having to disrupt the scene architecture, which is going to be vital in allowing him to add a few more choices and reactions based on a new personality system that we want to implement for the game. He’s also going to implement the accessory system. This will allow for the customization of piercings and tattoos. The initial plan is for them to show only when Catherine is naked, but Vane wants to see if he can allow them to show on clothing that leaves naked skin visible, though that increases the system's complexity by quite a bit. Keep in mind that these are only for sprites. These accessories will not be added to CGs as that would be a monumental task due to different angles and distances from the camera.

On Banshee’s end, she'll work on finishing the sprites of several characters that we've added recently, as well as reworking Catherine's sprite to support the new accessory system! She thinks Cath looks a bit outdated at this point, and we can't have a main character that looks worse than the newly added side characters, so she will be fixing that too! Banshee's also studying the possibility of giving her base outfit a couple more poses to make her even more dynamic and customizable.

Finally, we'd like to thank all of you for your support, generosity, and wonderful feedback. This project wouldn't be what it is without you, and we are eternally grateful for this chance you have given 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 Monday for another Dev Blog! Until then,

• New Allies

• Becoming Less (Evelyn, Submission, Petplay, Fluff, Oral, Lesbian)

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

Why, hello there! Phew, feels like it's been a while, doesn't it?

First of all, allow me to apologize for such a long wait! This development cycle was particularly hard for both of us and our creative juices definitely took a hit at some point there, hitting blocks after blocks. Rest assured this is a serious matter to us, and we've been talking a lot about the reasons that may have caused that, and what can we do moving forward to help avoid this kind of situation. Now, onto the build!~

This new build adds a (surprisingly romantic) new scene with Evelyn, pet play, submission, and extreme fluff included! Catherine will also have new allies based on your choices, but both are hot Azorite pirates, so it's pretty much a win-win for her and all of us!

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

Hello, hello! It’s so cold! Why is it so cold?! Where is global warming when you need it? I live in Brazil, do you think I stock warm clothing? I only have shorts and flip-flops! This is bullshit!

So, we’re still hard at work on getting the next release up. We wanted to have it out this weekend but life has not been agreeing with us too much lately, and it seems both of our creative juices have been running low this last development cycle, so we just couldn’t finish it in time. Seriously, it's been like squeezing smut out of a rock. We’re terribly sorry, and we're getting our freezing hands to work to have this release out as soon as possible!

Finally, we would like to thank all of our wonderful friends and supporters for your generosity and patience with this ol' duo of devs. Your support and kind words (as well as your criticism of course!) really mean the world to us, and we couldn't be more grateful for this wonderful community!

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

Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Hello, hello! It finally happened, you guys! After years and years of waiting, of pleading, of begging! I finally have been invited to play a tabletop RPG as a player again. I could try to describe how happy I am, but I would exhaust the dictionary, so I’ll leave you with this:

Banshee had a major setback this week as she suddenly woke up with her wrist swollen and sore, but after a few days of rest, she's feeling a lot better and slowly getting back to work. She did manage to get some work done and is confident she'll finish everything for the new scenes very soon!

Vane finished Evelyn’s scene and the new allies' scene. He might be jumping the gun a little bit, but he has also started a new scene that is the solution to Catherine’s supply problems, and after that, I think it’s finally time for the final battle to commence!

Finally, we'd like to thank all of you lovely folks for continuing to support our (not so) little project! Your support means the world to us and we are forever grateful for the opportunities you have provided for us!

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,

Hello, hello! I recently picked up The Lord of the Rings to read it again. I think no fantasy writer should go without reading it every other year. I love how Tolkien opens it with: “Some of you might be unfamiliar with hobbits, so allow me to summarize a few of the more important facts about them”. He then proceeds to talk about hobbits for twenty pages. It makes me feel better about my occasional lore dumps.

Banshee continued to work on the scene with Evelyn (a.k.a. Morb), as well as two new character designs! Wait, why is her hair purple on the preview, you ask? That's a state secret!

Vane has done a hard goof! Let me break the third-person barrier here and talk frankly. I don’t know what happened, I’m not burned out or anything but I’ve just been having a difficult time concentrating on writing. It has been happening for a while now, feels like the closer I get to the end of the story the less I can write. It’s really annoying and trust me, no one is more pissed off about it than me. I haven’t really made much progress last week, but I’m trying a few new things to see if that helps me get back into my productive groove. If all fails, guess it’s cock and ball torture punishments for me for delays. It’s the only way.

Finally, we'd like to thank all of you lovely people for continuing to support us and our work! It really means the world to us, and none of this would be possible without you, so thank you very much! <3

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,

Evelyn Petplay WIP

Heyo~! Huh, it's been a minute since I posted one of these, right? My silly head feels a bit insecure about posting unfinished stuff sometimes, but Vane asked, and some people said they think it's cool, so here we are!

As you can see, this scene is all about Evelyn looking all hot and powerful, drinking her glass of ethically sourced blood (don't ask where she got it), while playing with her... kitty cat? Vane and I brainstormed a bit while I sketched and the feet pose came up, and I thought it was a nice touch to the scene! Feet are still hard to draw but I'll do my best so it looks as pretty as I can make it!

Pretty happy with how this scene is coming along, and I sincerely hope y'all like it too! <3 Please feel free to throw some feedback my way if you'd like, or even future scene ideas! Those are always appreciated. Have a lovely evening, peeps!

222 - Dev Blog

Hello, hello! Banshee tells me the coldest part of winter is already past us, but then why is it even colder now?  

Banshee worked mostly on a new steamy scene with Evelyn (a.k.a. Mordred, and... Morb) that she thinks will make a lot of people happy, considering how many of you seemed enthusiastic about petplay. She also worked a bit more on finishing a few character sprites!

Vane has been hard at work writing the new Evelyn scene. He has also started a draft of a solo Catherine scene and the symbiote, which happens when you have the symbiote and are not in Evelyn’s romance route (if you are, there is a similar scene from which this one will take inspiration). He is also writing the next major story progression, the siege is nearing its end, and the final battle approaches!

Finally, we wanted to thank all of you for continuing to support us and our work! None of this would be possible without you all, and for that, we are forever grateful! Mwah!

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,

Hello, hello! Boy oh boy, is it still cold! Our thin Brazilian coats and freezing brick walls are not doing much to keep us warm, but that just gives me an excuse to make copious amounts of soup, which is certainly one of the best foods of all time. Which I’m sure is not an unpopular opinion at all! 

Now, you may have noticed we just released our latest build! You may also have noticed it is a few days late! Tale as old as time, Banshee told Vane that yes, she could totally finish all those cool things in time for the deadline, easy peasy! R-right? 

She sincerely hopes the extra care she put into the new lewd goodies will compensate for the extra days of waiting, and that you’ll enjoy the new scenes! Speaking of scenes, Eleanor returns to the spotlight with two distinct scenes depending on her relationship with Catherine! The romance route is full of hand-holding and has an additional little CG for that extra bit of passion, and the dom route adds a brand new outfit to go with a very spicy scene! The plot also thickens as Lena and Kerrek plan a battle with the power of improvised maps, and Catherine navigates her new and mysterious powers with Jaata’s help.

Finally, we wanted to once again thank our lovely friends and patrons for continuing to support us and our work! None of this would be possible without you all, and for that, we are forever grateful. <3  

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,

Woah, watch out! There's a brand new build heading your way at moderate speed! Banshee continues to bite more than she can chew regarding how much art she can get done until the deadlines (and Vane continues to make fun of her for it). But she hopes the lewd goodies can compensate for the extra days of waiting! We have added more plot progression (and Jaata has a sprite now!), as well as a new scene for Eleanor with two very distinct routes: the romance route counts with an extra little CG, and the slave version comes with a brand-new outfit!

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

Hello, hello! Aaaaaaaaaah! I can’t believe we forgot the dev blog again! We were just so absorbed in working on the next release that we totally forgot! Sorry!!

Banshee continued to work on the lewd goods for the scene with Eleanor: a full-size CG, a smaller one for the romance route, and an additional outfit for the slave route. She's also working on some new illustrations for a battle scene!

Vane completed all scenes for the next release and found himself with time on his hands. So he did the obvious and started adding more stuff, which I’m sure will in no way or form come back to bite him in the ass come release day. Currently, he’s working on a few new scenes with all the romance routes. He’ll go a bit of a different route than usual. Rather than die trying to get all of them out simultaneously, he’ll work on them as time permits and add them one by one. He’s starting with Evelyn’s scene as she has a few unresolved issues with Catherine. We’ll see in what direction their relationship will go!

Finally, we'd like to thank our lovely friends and supporters for continuing to support us and our work! To know that you have our backs really means the world to us. Please accept these cookies!

Hello, hello! Banshee had copious amounts of birthday cake to eat this weekend, and found out in the worst way possible that her stomach can no longer handle that much sugar. Such are the woes of old age!

Banshee worked on the sprite of the human version of Jaata, as well as a smaller CG for Eleanor’s scene! Elly’s also getting a new outfit for her slave route, with even more leader straps and bondage accessories! 

Vane finally beat his dreaded writer’s block and recovered from the sniffles! Hooray!

He worked on Eleanor’s scene, both the romantic and slave routes and is almost done with both. Just some editing and a few smaller variants inside of the scenes left to do and then it's all done! Banshee has also read the romantic version and gave her seal of approval!

Finally, we wanted to once again thank our lovely friends and patrons for continuing to support us and our work! None of this would be possible without you all, and for that we are forever grateful. <3

Hello, hello! You get the flu, you get the flu, and you get the flu! Just kidding, we don't want any of you being sick, us both having the flu at the same time is quite enough, thank you very much. On the bright side, my cat has learned how to drink from her water fountain this week, and we no longer need to hastily pull her away from the toilet bowl! Yay!

Banshee started to recover and went straight into drawing Eleanor enthusiastically riding her mighty steed into battle. And by mighty steed I mean Catherine. And by battle I mean... you know what I mean.

Vane had a terrible week. It started with the mother of all writer’s block, and he couldn’t get anything meaningful done. If that is not enough, he got very sick (which he claims he got from Banshee but it's all slander and lies!). Just all-around shittiness and barely any progress.  

Finally, we'd like to once again thank all of our lovely friends and supporters for continuing to be there for us and supporting our work! We hope all of you are happy and healthy, and not all sick and gross like us.

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

Hello, hello! Men we went from cold af to hot as fuck again. Randomly, after all the raining and cold, we’re getting summer weather again. I can’t complain, I love myself some nice warm weather. I refuse to put on more than one layer of clothing and gloves, so I always freeze even in Brazilian winter. If I ever visit Europe in winter I’ll die instantly.

Banshee didn't have the most productive week as she was quite sick and couldn't get a lot of sleep because of it. She worked mostly on easy tasks with sprites, and is in the early stages of a new scene with Eleanor!

Vane spent last week working on build upgrades. He started by doing a simple code to allow him to more easily implement small branches without having to create new text files, which is fine when you’re making a scene for the first time but hell when you want to go back and add more options to an older scene. But as he was doing that, he realized that he could extend that system to allow him to pretty much program inside of the text files, which would allow him to create some interesting behaviors on demand. But doing all that requires a more thorough expansion of the code, which has led him to go back to his VN engine project.

He is working on building a separate engine with all the upgrades he wants, then we’ll be able to use that engine to start new projects easily! Rise unfortunately was a discovery project where Vane added stuff as he needed without much thought to the overall architecture, so it’s a bit of a mess at this point. Removing all the Rise files and using the same engine is more trouble than it’s worth so making a new one from scratch is going to be better. This is not something he’s doing on work time, he’s working on that in his own free time so don’t worry about us delaying the game so we can make a new engine. However, the possibility of migrating Rise to this new engine and making use of all the new cool features Vane has planned is something that does interest us. We’ll have to see if it will be worth the trouble once the engine is done.

Vane also wrote a scene where the BBGE finally makes their first appearance! Alongside their most powerful lieutenants, they plan their next nefarious step! He is also working on a romantic scene with Eleanor. 

Finally, we'd like to thank all our wonderful friends and supporters for continuing to support us and our work! Did you guys know that today is Valentine's Day in Brazil? P-please, accept our most heartfelt feelings!

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

Hello hello! Oh, what's that you're hiding behind your back? A new release!? You shouldn't have!
This new build adds a new scene with our favorite cat boy Khai! Witness Vane's newly acquired otome game skillset with this super sweet and lovey-dovey scene. We have also progressed the plot quite a bit with the appearance of one of the Adversary's lieutenants, with several fancy illustrations to go along with it! Oh, and we added a bunch of new songs, if you're into that sort of thing.

Hello, hello! Lately is been so cold and rainy that my dog refuses to leave the dog house. I can’t believe he loves his blankets more than me.

Banshee finished her work on the scene with Khai, and started working on two new characters! Oddly enough, both of them are dragon-related. She wonders if Vane is trying to tell her something with this.

Vane was sabotaged! Without giving him any warning, his parents decided to start reforming the house. So Vane went to bed at 6, yes he is fully aware that his poor life choices are to blame for his trouble, and he woke up at 8 when they started to knock down a goddamn wall right outside of his bedroom. He mostly spent the week drifting in and out of sleep, until the evening at which point he was finally able to get some sleep. Only to end up going to bed at 6 am again because he only caught some good sleep late as fuck. Then the process repeated itself every day. Vane used the weekend to be a zombie and go to sleep at the proper time, so now he’s going to bed at a respectable 3 in the morning!

Ah yes, work. Well, his work rate was really nuked by the disruption to his routines, but he continued working on Eleanor’s dueling scene and on finishing up the Khai sex scene. He had put Khai’s scene on hold as he wanted to implement a few new features for it, but at this point, he’ll just have to bite the bullet and do it without them.

Finally, we'd like to once again thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for continuing to support and follow our project! If any of you pass by Banshee's house, she will bake you fresh chocolate chip cookies.

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

Hello, hello! Banshee is having the time of her life regarding the weather. Her cat is extra cuddly because of the cold, and she can wear her favorite hoodies and drink tea without melting into a pile of ectoplasm. Winter is truly the best! 

Banshee continued to work on the scene with Khai! She may be starting to question her decision to turn this into a two CG scene, but now she is too far gone to turn back! Still, there are worse fates than to draw lewd scenes with cute cat boys, so she’s not really going to complain about it.

Vane lost some time from work because he was helping out the good folk at Kalyskah by writing a few scenes. Their deadline was in a few days for the bulk of the work, so Vane had to cut some time from Rise to work on that, but he compensated it by working on the weekend! We’re not sure how regular of an extra income that will be, but if Corintio keeps sending work Vane’s way that’s more money that he intends to funnel right into Rise. He’s already talking with M because he wants to commission about a dozen new backgrounds.

Vane also worked on a variety of new scenes for Rise, chief among them is a battle led by Eleanor and Marius, mostly from Eleanor’s POV. Their mission turns bad and Eleanor finds herself face to face with one of the Adversary's deadliest lieutenants. Can she overcome this new challenge?! We should hope so.

Vane has also been working on a new system to program choices into the text files. As they are now, they are quite cumbersome to program which leads to Vane not adding choices unless they are relevant, but he’s working on a better system that will make the implementation of branches much easier, which he intends to use to add more options for Catherine. So now Catherine will be able to react to situations in more varied ways, which will tie up with the new personality system that we want to implement as we move to edit the whole game for the final release.

Finally, we wanted to once again thank our lovely friends and patrons for continuing to support us and our work on this wonderful journey! None of this would be possible without you all, and for that, we are forever grateful. <3

Hello, hello! Do my freezing hands deceive me? Is this the fabled winter we’ve heard so much about? I CAN FINALLY WEAR HOODIES AND SLEEP WITH FUZZY BLANKETS AGAIN? Someone pinch me, because I must be dreaming!

Banshee started working on a new scene with everyone’s favorite (I hope) cat boy, Khai! She might have gotten a little bit carried away, and we might be getting two CGs instead of one for this scene. Whoops! 

Vane did his usual after-release stuff last week, customer support, marketing, posting the build in all the places, the works. He also worked on a pseudo-battle without Catherine’s involvement, following Kerrek and Lena as they hatch a plan to stop reinforcements from coming to wreck Catherine’s shit. Also, he started working on Khai’s scene. The goodest of boys is going to be showing his tired wife a very good time! The goodest of times, if you will.

Finally, we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to our wonderful friends and supporters for continuing to support us and our work. Thank you for believing in us and being such an essential part of this journey! Mwuah!

Hello, hello! I’m finally making the final sacrifice. In order to become a better writer and a better VN maker, I will have to leave my comfort zone and brave the shadowlands where no man should dare tread. That’s right… I’ll have to play otome games… Wish me luck, guys, I might not survive the shattering of my masculinity.

So this weekend we released the latest build of Rise. We have implemented a few changes to our workflow, and the release came out a little later than we would have liked, but hey! It’s not an entire week late, and Banshee will not have to buy a new arm after drawing like a maniac for one week. So progress! We’ll continue to tweak and improve on this early success, so hopefully, we can not only go back to meeting our deadlines properly but also get more done in a shorter period of time. 

Now onto the actual content of the release! This one continues the main story. Catherine is still busy with the Valantian siege, but while she sits there and waits, the rest of the world is not static. Developments in other parts of the Empire threaten her ability to continue the siege, and she has to come up with answers to this new problem and, perhaps, forge new and strange alliances.

On top of that, Amelie is finally getting her time in the sun! Her romance route is finally here. Will the half-elf be able to give up her life of orgies to settle as a proper monogamous girlfriend? Unlikely! But damn it, she’ll give it her best shot!

This leads us to the top of the next release. What we’ll be adding to it is still a bit in the air. Vane will, of course, continue the main story. Expect magic, battles, dragons, and swords! And we’ll also add a new scene for everyone’s favorite catboy, Khai! So far we have plenty of hand-holding and body worship in mind, so please check your blood sugar levels before playing.

Finally, we'd like to once again thank our lovely friends and patrons for continuing to support us and our work! Is it hot in here, or is it you all?

(It might be both, it's so warm today again, help.) 

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

Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

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

Hello hello! My, what is this? A new build delivered on time? Absolutely unheard of!

For this new build, we have finally added Amelie's romance route. The girl has finally overcome her fear of commitment and declares her love for Catherine! Unlike other Amelie scenes, this one is so romantic and sweet I might have gotten super diabetes while reading through it. There are three variants for the new scene: a casual route for those who don't want to commit, a romantic one for those wanting to pledge their eternal love to our beloved Amelie, and lastly a third route for those already in relationships, but their partners don't mind if more people join the fun!

We also added a new story progression scene. Catherine gets a rundown of many events that have been happening around her and has to make some decisions as to how best to proceed! These decisions will have an impact on which characters might show up later, so choose wisely!

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

Hello, hello! We’re in weather hurricane season down here in Brazil! It is cold, then hot, then cold, then hot, then it rains, then a full blast of sun, before cold again. Anyway, expect Banshee to get sick any day now.

Banshee continued to work on the scene with Amelie! She's been having to work sneakily just like old times since her mother-in-law is visiting, and thankfully Mr. Banshee's mom still thinks she draws puppies for a living. She was also thrilled to start working on character designs again as we began trying to add more sprites to side characters, and Vane was kind enough to throw several hot people her way. Hooray!

Vane got a little bit sick himself. Who would have thought that caring for a sick person might lead one to catch their sickness, huh? Anyway, his was nowhere near as bad as his sisters'. He just had a persistent headache and a bit of exhaustion, and he was all good in a few days. 

Vane finished the Amelie romance route scene. All of her scenes have always leaned more on the hardcore side, with rough sex and/or orgy-related themes. For this one, however, Vane wanted to do something romantic and explore a new side of Amelie. So the scene is just the two of them, and it's very gentle and romantic. Like all of the most recent romance routes, it has a casual variant, so you can still have sex with her if you are single and don’t want to commit or you are in an open relationship.

Vane has also been working on a scene that continues the main plot. Negative developments in the Empire and unusual activity inside the besieged city’s walls mean that Catherine has to accept that she can’t rely on help from the Empire anymore and has to look to other sources to keep her troops supplied and her siege going. This sets up the potential introduction of a few new characters later down the line. Catherine’s previous choices will also impact how this scene plays out.

Finally, we'd like to thank our lovely friends and patrons once again for continuing to support us and our work! You're the best around, and nothing's gonna ever keep you down~!

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

Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

A special thanks to Art!

This week's chibi is for Art, who has been with us for quite a long time! He was one of the first patrons we had and the very first Necromancer back in early 2020 when we started this whole thing! Thank you so very much for believing in us from the start. <3

(Oh, he's also a programming wizard who made the code that counts the votes for us, without him, Vane would be stuck manually counting everything like a Neanderthal, so thank you so much for that too!)

Coming Next: TW!

Hello, hello! Banshee got her plushie! It’ll probably take forever to arrive because it’s coming from the other side of the world, but she can feel its soft polyester fur in her hands already. Vane still thinks both Banshee and her plushie are very silly, which makes them perfect for each other. This is it, if anyone was curious (so cute)!

(Just don’t ask where it's from, she’s afraid of judgment.)

Banshee was thrilled to finally work on something new and while not feeling pain! She began working on a new scene with Amelie, as well as an old/new outfit for Kyo that got lost to the ages when she switched computers. Witch Kyo shall rise from the ashes prettier than ever before! 

Vane took it easy for the first two days of the week after having to do some overtime and work on the weekend because Banshee dumped all of the files he had been asking for weeks at him all simultaneously and with a day to go before the release. Then when he was about to kick it into high gear, his sister got really sick. He had to take her to the hospital twice, more because she’s a drama queen than because she was dying. Still, she had a high fever and was not doing too well, so Vane had to take care of her, and on top of that, all the house chores naturally fell on him. With all of those things getting in his way he found it really hard to manage his time properly and arrived on this Monday with little to show for it.

Finally, we’d like to thank all of our lovely friends and supporters for always being there for us. We hope you can get your hands on all the plushies your heart desires! 

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

Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

Hello, hello! Today was almost a very sad day! Banshee had been looking forward to getting her hands on a certain limited-edition plushie, but when she tried to buy it, it had sold out! After a few hours of being quite sad, she heard from the store that they would be re-stocking soon, and now she's a happy Banshee again. Vane thinks this whole ordeal was very silly.

Now, as we have stated before, the last release was very late! This was due to Banshee hurting her wrist and forearm, and because she tried to insist on finishing her work as soon as possible, it took longer to heal, which obviously delayed things even further. She's feeling much better already, and after getting scolded by Vane, she'll organize her work hours better and get her wrist checked out! We once again apologize for this delay, and boy are we glad it's over because not having that release out was KILLING us.

Anyway! The latest build finally added the long-awaited Kalyskah collab, in which you can bed either the vampire seductress, our favorite edgy demon man Victor, or both! Technically you can even choose neither, but where's the fun in that? Vane has also added several quality-of-life changes, bug fixes, outfits, stats screens, you name it! We hope that with this, your game will run smoother than ever from now on.

Now, for the next build we plan on adding Amelie's romance route, and it's going to be insanely adorable. We might also start adding the new slave route since there are tons of CGs we can remaster (from the old brothel route, or a certain under-the-desk scene with Kyo for example) to fit well with Catherine and her new master!

Finally, we'd like to thank you all for your continued support! I'm not sure if you noticed, but in the past couple of months, we beat pretty much all of our past records in both the number of members and membership value! To say we were overjoyed is definitely an overstatement. We'd like to once again thank all these wonderful new people who decided to support us and our project, but also to say a super thank you to everyone who's been with us since the beginning. You're all amazing! Aaah!!

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

Big love, the Necro Bunny team!!!

What, the latest build is FINALLY out? Are we all in a collective dream? Thankfully not! Once again we're sorry for such a long delay on this one, Banshee had a pretty bad wrist injury and everything took forever to complete as she didn't take enough time to recover and ended up hurting herself over and over. She is very silly.

Anyway, the collab scene with Kalyskah is finally here in all its 2 CG and 3 variants glory. We hope you enjoy this one, as we tried giving everyone a choice to bed either Kaly, Victor, or both! Hell, you can even bed neither and leave them both hanging, which can be a bit funny. Vane has also added several outfits to the gallery, stat pages, diary entries, and many quality-of-life and code improvements, so we hope your playthrough is smoother than ever.

As always, please let us know what you think about it! <3
