🍾🥂Snippets 4/6 - Flavio

The impromptu celebration wasn’t the wisest idea, considering the meeting you’re having with Fortin the next day— in several hours, but it only really dawns on you when Flavio’s eyes go vitric and unfocused.

You’ve lost count of the number of bottles that passed through your hands somewhere between the bar and Flavio’s condo, but even though he has sipped from less than half of them, the alcohol seems to have finally taken its toll.

Though initially, you arrived in a g...

Weekly devlog

Sorry for the delay, we had a situation with my grandmother that is now being (hopefully) resolved. Either way, for now, I can get back to writing and not thinking about it 24/7.

Progress:

Joran’s snippets are out, Flavio’s will be uploaded soon, as in within days. One of the three Joran’s scenes will be published on ko-fi as well sometime next month, or later if I forget to post it like I did the FaeAU 🤡 which will be publicly up on itch.io right about n...

PFM - Joran snippet/loose scenes

#1

The throbbing pain suspends any words of protest you might have uttered otherwise. Stunned, you hold onto the swig of air you sucked in through your teeth - it just might be your last.

Down on your knees in a perverse sort of prayer, you stare up at the barrel of the gun. The air stings, forcing a layer of tears to envelop your sclera. In your mind at once a million words and a dooming silence that screams ‘it’s over’ and ‘I told you so,’ in a voice y...

A quick one today, but with some future info. I am just finishing Avulsion’s update, I added a scene in the middle with more lore, so the writing is taking longer than expected. Nonetheless, as always, I’ll update what I have prepared. The entirety of the chapter won’t take longer than a week, two tops, so next month I’ll have another partial update for Avulsion and FMO.

From now on, the story will branch out a little, similarly to the VN. You probably won’t notice it when pla...

🍾🥂Snippets 3/6 - Jewel

*minor spoilers for Avulsion, part 2

The rooftop of the art gallery, as well as the whole establishment, is technically closed for visiting this late into the night, and so, you’re not surprised to find that, aside from you two, there’s no one present. What does surprise you, however, is the location in itself.

Out of all the places Jewel could have selected for your well-awaited date, you’d expect something more outdoorsy. The gallery is built on ...

Weekly devlog

Busy week, but I got a lot of things done. Progress:

Extra scenes added to chap 1 of FMO with the twins and Lotár. I also drafted the rest of chapter 2, I am super excited about the finale! Here’s a preview of the chap 2 promo:

Next will be Avulsion, I am hoping to finish the enti...

Weekly devlog (changed billing to the day you pledge instead of the first of the month)

As you read in the title, I changed the billing to the day you pledge instead of the first of the month, for your ease of use!

Now, progress:

• I  finished a draft for both FMO and Avulsion, the former will have some extras added in the prologue, and more court flashbacks before chapter  2,
• FaeAU is also ready for grabs as the early access.  It'll go public later, end of this month or early next, unless I forget  to share again. �...

Happy Halloween for those of you who celebrate, or Happy Monday for those of you who don't (or Sunday, ugh timezones)!

A quick one today. Okay! I might have overdone it again, oops? I spent the last week straight working, but hey, I think it was worth it. 10k words and the art and and and and I need a nap. 🥴

Future things to look forward to: next month I’ll try to update both Avulsion and FMO, at least partially. I actually forgot to share the previous update of Avulsion on i...

Weekly devlog

Sorry for the delay, I had TONS of stuff to do + coding ugh, but but but it was a super productive time for me, and I have exciting news to share:

- JuneFae is done! The early version with CC, an extra CG, and some sketches is uploaded (+a fix in Laurent's route). The screens with the raw code of the CC and CGs feature included if you'd like to use it for your stuff or if you're just curious about it. The early access version will be available to claim via itch.io key soon. Now, have so...

Progress:

-the first part of the dream sequence is done! It just needs a bit of polishing, but you can expect it to be live within like a week or so. + I want to revamp the magazine by then as well,

A tiny teaser here:

-the FMO update will be up next month, most likely on the same day the first chapter releases on itch + the updated guide,

-FaeAU is being worked on. I am plan...

Weekly devlog

Laurent’s Fae!AU route is here, polished and (hopefully) pretty. The CC version with an extra CG was also reuploaded. Jewel’s art assets are almost done, and the writing continues. I should have the script done this month, yay!

Progress regarding Avulsion: another update is being worked on, I am hoping for a larger one this time, but we’ll see how it goes. I think the next chapter will be released in two portions before it goes public: the dream sequence and the ‘bar talks’ si...

Weekly devlog

Writing spree continues, woo-hoo! 😃

If you didn’t get a notification yet, the first chapter of FMO (or like I like to say FML 🤡) is live! As well as the WIP booklet/guidebook with the guide for the first chapter.

Other than that, I have another 4k for chapter 2, but I might wait 'till the end of the month and publish more if I manage to write more. 1k for Avulsion and counting, I’d love to finish at least one path this month + add some minor stuff to the earlier chapter....

🍾🥂Snippets 2/6 - Reed

*spoilers for the second arc of Avulsion, regarding Reed’s fate post the VN.

The private lounge is large and secluded by a half-drawn, semitransparent curtain. The gap between the column and the material is wide enough to give you a good look at the partygoers mingling in and out of the VIP section. The muffled electronic music and shards of conversations blend together into an incomprehensible background noise.

Supported by a double dosage of a high-grade blocker, you ...

Weekly devlog

Good news again, I wrote a ton! 

Progress:

• another ~5k words for Avulsion, starting with Laurent's path. The variables are giving me a headache again, but I am slowly approaching the plot merge which will make everything easier for me. I am hoping to finish the entire chapter next month, or at least the majority of it, so I can't 100% promise ...

Sorry for the small delay, I had a mini emergency. Anyways, good news, I am on a writing spree! Fingers crossed it'll last.

Progress:

- another 7k words to conclude the first chapter of FMO (bringing us to about 20k words), new scenes updated, same link,

- early access of Avulsion + guide, updated,

Right now, I am working on the dream sequence (chapter 2 of Avulsion) and Laurent's Fae!AU route. You can expect a partial update of both later this month. ...

Weekly devlog

Lots of news! I pushed through the first chapter (of 5) of the project I told you about aaaaand it's done! I also finished the GUI and all the assets. + revamped the Avulsion MC's page. Now that I have more written, I was able to determine which traits actually show up the most and knock off the unused ones. 

So what we are left with is: Indirect vs Blunt, Dominant vs Timid (but it’s more about MC taking control over the situation or being more passive), and Compassionate vs Indi...

Weekly devlog ✨

Sorry for the delay, had a busy week, but I managed to get a lot of stuff done, like revamping the chapters' cover illustrations (preview above) and polishing the notebook (unlocked in the next chapter). I also changed the file name (the numbers) to reflect the chapters and updates, so the newest looks as follows: 1.2.1 aka chapter 2, update 1. Hopefully, it's clearer now. I know it is for me.

🍾🥂Snippets 1/6 - Laurent

*post-VN, established relationship

If there’s one thing the huge and largely empty apartment can be good for, it’s hosting celebratory parties.

The lack of baubles to break, the extra bedrooms for the guests to crash at, and most importantly, the spacious living room with a kitchen on the side makes the place a perfect social gathering hub.

The only downside is the cursed couch... Your ass is practically numb, and you’ve only been sitting there for ten minutes...

Good news happy news, the Avulsion's prologue is done! I am SO excited!!! The full thing is about 25k words, including choices.

Here's a preview of what the cover for the update is going to look like:

As for other progress. I couldn't help myself and finished a snippet, so the first one is done...

Progress report coming up:

-  writing the last scene of the prologue (the bar scene). Quite a bit of variables and twists before I'll get to the meat of it, but hopefully it  will be interesting to read. I'll try to get the first update done by the end of this week, but in the worst case I'll upload it around Monday,

-  in between the sleepless nights (ugh again) I've been polishing the first chapter so that the promised (second) big update will not...

Weekly devlog!

I am super excited to say that Avulsion's prologue is nearly done! I need to write one more scene to connect all the branches (well, some of them), and revamp the 2 existing scenes from the VN. 🤩

Next month I'll have a small and a big update for you: the smaller one will be the rest of the prologue before the update goes public, and the larger one will be the bigger half of the first chapte...

Insomnia blah blah, I bet it's so boring to read, I might as well start letting you know when I actually *do* sleep well. Which won't be anytime soon, seeing as it's getting unbearably hotter around here.

Cursed Place - unused snippets

#1 - a cleaned-up snippet I drafted back when Amadeus was the second RO. Featuring his demon contractor ahem demon cat - Yael.

Though from the outside, the building is dilapidated and overgrown by moss, the interior is luxurious beyond measure. Not only that, but the rooms are incredibly well-maintained, which is peculiar if you consider the absolute lack of servants.

The point stands, the manor is tended to quite regularly, but you can’t imagine Amadeus doing t...

Progress:

• Cursed Place early access just dropped,
• next Avulsion update is being written,
• FaeAU Reed's route is also being worked on.

In  terms of sleep, I had no sleep, but I drafted the FaeAU script, so  there's that I guess. Later, I am going to play with animated sprites,  so I am super excited about that. Now, though, I can finally share more  details about it so:

Avulsion's update will be up in about 2 days. I am at +/- 2k words so far that are edited, but I have 2k more that I'd like to include. I am focusing on the alternative first meeting scenes right now, slowly merging the branches. 

Other than that, the short preview of the FaeAU DLC is done. All aside from the preference screen.

Sorry for the delay with the devlog, I just had one of the worst insomnia 'sessions' in months, and the days just blurred together.

As for the progress, though:

Quick one today! It was a busy week.

Curced Place is finished! 😊 I just need to add one more CG and that's it! The final build will be released next month (late June) and the early access will be there early June, first week. It should be enough time to add the extra assets and edit the script.

As a sneak peek, I am sharing all the ending screens:

The BGs are boring and simple, since one month is not a lot of time to finish everything. I spend the most time on the main menu, and I had a lot of fun with it.

Good news! I just finished all the art assets needed for my last jam + coded them all. Now, I just need to write two more scenes, and the first part is done.

As for the future, I need one month for the second part, and the jam game will be 100% finished (It's a short one, with only one RO, but hopefully it will be fun to play while you wait for the Avulsion updates). Then, I'll be back to juggling only Avulsion and Reprise until Reprise is also done. I find it super helpful to work on t...
