🎃Happy (soon) Halloween! + PFM ‘spooky’ chibis🎃

As you can see, I am still trying to find a chibi-esque design I don’t absolutely hate, and I think I am close? That aside, those and some other designs I have will soon be available as stickers. Stay tuned!

As for progress, I’ll have the second batch of Fictober snippets and the FMO update up shortly, as in tomorrow or the day after (polishing time), but the third batch of snippets might ...

Fictober 2023 prompts #1

# 1 “It’s not too late, let’s go.” - Rez

The majority of Mastravisch’s guards, while certainly not loyal, are dutiful. Whether out of dread or piety, those from the royal cavalry selected to secure the palace follow Mastravisch’s every desire as though they were holy.

The fear of suffering is as good a motivator as greed, perhaps even better. That’s why, when faced with Rez’s near-crazed fury, the last five guards standing refuse to clear ...

Weekly devlog

I am officially done with commissions, and even if I do get a small one here or there, it won't affect my workflow now! I really enjoyed having weekly updates, so I'd like to stick to that for however long I am able to. 😊

As for the progress, today I finished adding the last (hopefully) edits to FMO's chapter 3, and I am back to writing the next update. Also, I should have the first batch of the Fictober snippets out within a couple of days, so stay tuned.

If you remember me me...

Weekly devlog

My gosh, Patreon's layout is so different (but neat) I am like all over the place. 

Anyways, quick progress:

- I am finishing Mirren's scene and the merge one, both will be up this week,

- I found something called Fictober, and obviously I have to do some quick drabbles with the ROs. I'll post them by batches instead of one by one, ...

Weekly devlog

A quick progress update:

- Malitiose's POV is up,

- added a few lines to Saltire’s scene, 

- Malitiose’s and Rez’s scenes are written. 

Malitiose's romance-y scene plays out a bit differently depending on your personality trait, and so will Mirren's. Altruistic MC is more honest and willing to negotiate, while self-serving is withdrawn and has to have the upper hand.

Next on my to-do is: Mirren's scene (alternativ...

Long-ish Devlog

Progress:

Today’s FMO update is ~5k long. In it, more about MC’s past (pre-death), and a new branching. To get the new scenes, instead of going with Lotár you need to stay with Saltire and Malitiose when prompted. Later, you’ll get a scene (different for platonic vs romantic route) for either Malitiose, Saltire, Mirren, or Rez. Saltire’s scene is included in this update.

In the next update, I’ll add the others’ scenes, and after that ...

PFM snippet - mundane life #Laurent

*Maverick’s POV, (assumes you knocked Maxie out that one time, just for a single line, though)

** big thanks to my bestie for a speedy edit <3

Officer Rosier is the personification of an ice storm, especially today, as he glares his way out of the briefing room he was summoned to two hours before he was supposed to arrive.

For someone who used to show up at the HQ earlier than the doorman, it’s an abrupt, and noticeable, shift in ...

PFM #reunion scene - Reed

If your life was a book, it would undoubtedly be titled ‘Without a plan.’ That’s how you find yourself in Elazar, weeks before the due date. After walking two hours to the nearest bus stop amidst nothing but fields, then spending another two in a rickety vehicle, you’re here. Free. And somehow, you’re more lost now that you’re not alone.

The sleazy sub-central district looks ashen, stinking of fumes and human malodor. The stench is made worse by the rain, violently whipping ...

Devlog + a sketch

A quick devlog to a)let you know I am doing 👌👌👌 and b)tell you what I have in store for this month. Let's go!  

Tomorrow (my time), I'll have a fresh snippet for you, with Reed this time. I wanted to post it today, but it got longer than expected (5 pages of just the base draft yall), and I don't want to cut it into portions (or stay up till 3 am, again, ahahaha). It'll be the 'reunion scene' after MC first comes to Elazar. I was going to include it in Avulsion, but as I w...

PFM #'What if' snippet - Laurent x MC, academy for fives

A woman dressed in white medical garb holds you down on the examination couch. The large device to which you are connected by a myriad of cords beep beep beeps out of tune with your rapid pulse. Another machine rumbles like static.

The odor of chemicals is calming, though it burns your already red from crying eyes. Your mouth tastes chalky from the pills they have you chew on. Your enhanced sense of smell that had been driving you crazy barely works now.

The doctor’s de...

Devlog

I know you're not here to listen to my bs so I'll keep it short. Three weeks ago, when I learned that FaeAU DLC was spread around on a pirate site, it really got to me, because I am not a huge studio that makes tons of cash off my games, and the 5usd it is priced at is a lot to me, especially currently. These past months I had to spend a lot of money on my family situation. Earlier I blew my savings entirely due to unexpected taxes, so this month I had to focus on taking more commissions, and...

Quick devlog

The extended chapter 2 is updated, it contains the fixed public release, the bit post demo with all fixes. The BETA version was re-uploaded as well. 

Adding all the fixes and edits (and that with my friend's HUGE help) took me a full day, and we fixed the last variables today as well, but now chapter 1 + 2 are polished.  

New FMO content soon, more Lotar, Mal, and Saltire, then Mirren, then Rez. PFM will be first, though, also polished. After that, I doubt I'll try to ju...

Devlog + cleaning!

Nino’s snip is up, writing Avulsion atm. I am slowly cleaning Patreon from obsolete posts and updating the art assets as needed. Here’s the unedited version of my new banner, btw, just some random sketches:

I released a short game for pride, it’s about Lilith and Eve and you can play it here: https://pdrr.itch.io/lilith-...

🍾🥂Snippets 6/6 - Nino

After witnessing Wilson dance on a table after losing a drinking contest with Nino, you’ll never be able to look him straight in the face without laughing ever again.

You don’t know how Nino manages, seeing as it’s hardly the first time she’s won, against him or otherwise.

After wiping the proverbial floor with her friend, and fast-dialing his sister to come pick him up, Nino has been downing a shot after a shot from the tray that’s been left untouched during Wi...

Devlog (Black Rooks, FMO DEMO file has an extra scene in it, check it out, Blues, Beta too)

Britney Spears’s voice: This effing heat, is killing meeee and I– I will stop right there.

Progress:

I just finished cleaning up FMO’s GUI I had to delete the option to change the font as there was an issue with the in-game customization buttons popping out of their place. I tried to fix it for WEEKS, it almost made me genuinely cry out of frustration, so, fun times. 🥴

I changed the default to Atkinson Hyperlegible, increased the size for readabilit...

Progress:

- FMO chapter 2 is in early access right now, it will be published on Itch as the last public update sometime next month, but before then I need to clean the paging/misc stuff a little bit more. If you'd like me to add an additional scene/choice to the demo, now is the perfect time to let me know,

- a partial update of FMO chapter 3 is also up for beta, I have another one almost ready, I just need some sleep before I get to edit it, sowwy, yall insomnia ...

Weekly devlog (Blue Rooks check updated FMO chap 2, new scenes + fixes)

A quick one today, just the progress:

- added two extra scenes to FMO chapter 2 (for Malitiose and Saltire, make sure your 'seeping companion' is the same as your route to unlock, can be LT for Mal), minor edits and bugfixes (ver. 2.3.2, same folder),

- written about 5k for FMO chapter 3, beta version of the partial release will be updated next week or as soon as I have it cleaned and coded,

- focusing on finishing PFM Laurent's route right now, no concrete ...

OC Kiss Prompts FMO 2/2

*post- or mid-game, intended to follow the first ending, but it might fit anywhere. Prompts: ‘food’ for Malitiose, and ‘nostalgic’ for Saltire.

Noticing the galore of blue ethereal lights shining through the dense leafage of the pushcha, you prepare yourself for an encounter with a wilder, stomping silently through the bushes so as to not make a sound.

When you emerge into a glade, you realize that there’s no magical beast roaming around, but its bones, used to ...

Devlog + FMO chibis + clean up

Three things first:

- current Avulsion build had been updated (hotfixes + the last part of Reed’s pre-route, look for ver. 1.2.5) and it’ll be released publicly later this week, around the same time a new partial update will be dropped here,

- FMO build was updated too (hotfixes to the second part of chapter 2),

- to avoid confusion, I’ll be deleting old/obsolete partial builds/versions of games that have the full version(s) out. I wi...

🍾🥂Snippets 5/6 - Alan

Stumbling towards the car, swallowing down the chilly air and yet another fit of laughter, you try to balance Alan, your coat, his suitcase, and a bottle of expensive champagne you took for the road without losing either of these treasures.

The first of the bunch is even less helpful than the inanimate objects, leaning against you heavily and mumbling ‘one more,’ and ‘I am not drunk, thank you very much,’ all the while you try to unlock his car so that you can wait for ...

Devlog

Okay, I know better now than to try estimating the length of the chapter(s) when I clearly have no self-control and keep adding to them. Chapter 2 of FMO is done, longer than I thought, but finally fully written. I scrapped like 2 scenes, but I might end up adding them later, not sure yet. The second part is nearly a whooping 20k, so there. I can finally focus on something else for a change, like Laurent’s route. And the extras. Etc.

I didn’t want to bore you with a devlog about me ...

Weekly 🤡 devlog

Alright, I am happy to announce that a) FMO chapter 2 is written and mostly coded (I will be updating the BETA version as I go), and b)my family affairs have been concluded. I am just exhausted, but otherwise free to focus on deving again! :D Since I am not going to make a brand new Amare game next month, I am challenging myself to finish chapter 3 in one month (let me dreaaam). I already have it drafted, so wish me luck! 

Other than that, the FMO Kiss Prompt snippets turned into a...

OC Kiss Prompts FMO 1/2 (Rez, Mirren, Lotár)

*Set in the second year of Mastravisch’s reign. Can be canon compliant if it fits your gameplay. One scene, three branches. Prompts: dancing for Lotár and Mirren, food for Rez.

*edited, tysm <3

Having fought and won over all the allies needed to tip the scale of the conquest, Mastravisch doesn’t arrange parties or masquerades anymore, as it’s more prudent to spend the coin on research and equipment instead of frivolities. Still, once a royal, always a r...

Weekly devlog

A quick one today. I just got back home. We had another family emergency regarding my grandmother. I didn’t even get to pack my laptop, so I am out of the loop. I did make a lot of notes on my phone, even though writing that way is a huge pain in the ass for me, so now I just need to transfer everything into a doc and clean it up. 

Progress:

The Kiss Prompt snippets for FMO are almost ready, and I ended up taking a break from FMO’s script to write Laurent...

Devlog + info

Early access of chapter 2 of Avulsion will be up in a few days, but bear in mind that it’ll be the Ren’Py version still. It will be the last Ren’Py update, and the future chapters will be coded exclusively in Twine. I’ll post the file as soon as it’s done. The same goes for FMO. The GUI is mostly done - it looks the same as in Ren’py, but prettier and with more fun things added.

Aside from that, please disregard my earlier note about Cursed Place, as I won’t be able to tak...

💋 Happy V’s Day! 💋 + extras + info

All 6 OCs Kiss Challenge snippets are done! I’ll be doing another round of them for FMO next month, so stay tuned. Just without the pics this time, hope you won't mind.

Aside from the sinpsnips, I wrote ... about 7k-long PFM dating game that you can play [here]. It was supposed to be short, welp, clowning myself again. Big thanks to my friend for coding the whole thing, guys just take a look at the GUI,...

PFM OCs Kiss Challenge inspired snippets

DANCE - Laurent

The soirée is crowded, but not jam-packed enough for you to miss Laurent’s entrance. It’s not that it’s particularly memorable - the parting sea of people aside - looking from behind, Laurent is just another guest in a dark suit, completely unremarkable.

Perhaps more so than his scent, that cuts like a whip through the dense air of the room, you’re attuned to the way he strides in, slowly but with purpose, how his head barely moves, and ye...

AMAZING news! My friend is going to help me code FMO and Avulsion in Twine, so that will solve ALL the issues with wonky font etc!!! It might take a while as she’s doing it solo, but it will be SO worth it, I am insanely stoked, and I am sure you will be too! She'll also add stuff I couldn't even hope to code like extra pronouns etc, but also the long-awaited for some option to set the gender of each RO separately, which I am sure will make you happy! :D

Aside from that, next month I�...

So sorry for the silence! After my dad got sick around Christmas, it passed to me, and I spent the first week of 2023 in my bed feeling like absolute garbage. 🥴 Thankfully I slept through most of it, and I am feeling much better now.

I didn’t want to show up empty-handed, and I thought I would surprise you with the entire Chapter 2 of FMO, but wow, it got long! 😳 Writing 5 ROs is fun, but challenging. After a week, so far I have another 7k words, and it’s just about a scene pe...

☃️Happy Holidays + devlog☃️

I had an emergency, but I did a small something for you (down below) + I had a lot of time in-between driving to and fro to write, so I am happy to announce that the rest of Avulsion’s chapter 2 is finished! I’ll just need to go over it again to clean it up! 

Progress:

- apparently I can’t post two images in one devlog, but the second part of Avulsion is about...
