🐰✨Happy Easter! ✨🐰
Spicy bunnies, here they go. I couldn't decide if I like the 'raw' or the edited pics best, so I am including both.

A short one, but with good news! I am getting my PC back next week! The cooling system had to be replaced, but it should work without an issue now. Another good news is that I am not sick anymore yay! It was just the flu, and I am still on meds, but I feel well and ready to work.
Right now I am finishing the second update for Avulsion, but I just wanted to let you know that there’s a small bug in the current version that shows “This branch is currently in development” when you tal...

A short, but important one:
Like I promised, [here]'s the folder where I'll upload the full version of the jam game (WYC:Reprise) once it's done. Save the link for later! Black tier will still get extra game keys (once I figure out how that works).
I had to send my PC away (you will be missed) and I am waiting for the store to fix it. In the...

Progress:
- the 'bare minimum' demo for the NaNoRenO jam is finished and coded! I'd love to add 3 more scenes to it but we'll see how that goes,
- the introductory POVs for the 2 ROs are posted,
- Avulsion update no.1 is being polished. It will be up on early access next week, on the same day WYC:Reprise jam preview.
As for other news, I'll be slowly cleaning Patreon from the dead posts (the old chapters that are now included in the latest release), so...

Another short one with good and bad news (again bad for me).
Good news first: I managed to finish all the art assets I needed + do some extras in advance + I should be able to borrow a laptop to continue writing the script etc.
Bad news: my PC almost died yesterday. The CUP is severely overheating on idle and I had to contact the shop that built my PC. Still waiting to hear back from them but basically my PC is unusable at the moment. I think it has something...

A super quick one today. Good news! I got an adapter and now I can use my graphic tablet!
The GUI and most of the art assets for Reprise are finished so now I'll be back to writing and finishing up with the update no.2 of Avulsion. Should be here next week.
I am moving Cova's route to the 'unreleased' tier for the time being as I will work on Reprise and Avulsion on main.
And that's all! Take care <3

Bad news (for me) is that the HDMI socket is not an easy fix. I would have to send my entire PC and I can't do that because I have work to do and I need to have it 24/7. So for now I'm stuck using the old tablet.
Anyways, the progress/what's in store:
- next update of the IF: I want to at least merge the branches up to the point of MC exploring the city,
- Roshan's intro for TST, I'd like to show you the final demo in a month or two,

A quick update:
- the third POV extra will be uploaded later today (it's morning for me, so in a couple of hours),
- Alan's route preview is being worked on. Just in case I am not able to finish it by tomorrow, I'll post everything I have either way. Should be at least a solid half of it.
My HDMI socket's still broken at the moment, but I should have it replaced next month. For now, I've borrowed an old drawing tablet from my sister. I just ...

Sorry for the silence I just learned that my uncle's died. It was abrupt and nobody was expecting it. I mean, isn't that always the case? I am fine, though, we weren't that close. I was just a bit busy because of it.
Now, the progress:

A short one this week. I got a lot of things done but not much to show for it, so mostly coding and planning and assets.
Progress:
- Nino's route has the art assets added,
- the surprise is posted. It was more time-consuming than I thought despite being rather short, but I am glad I managed to finish it on time.
Now I am working on Jewel's POV, then Alan's preview and the IF's prologue. I really can't wait to finish the 'chapter 0'!&nb...

Here we go, the surprise. PFM as a webtoon?! PFM as a webtoon. I've never done a comic before, only storyboards, but I thought it might be a fun one-time special.
I am posting it as soon as I finished because I have no patience whatsoever. All the pages are included in the PDF version.
Enjoy!

Since the IF jam is finished, this month I want to get the Avulsion's prologue done. The most time-consuming will be filling out the gaps between the branches and taking care of the variables, but I should be able to do the 'base' version easily enough (I hope 🥴).
For Valentine's Day I want to do something I haven't done before, but it's a secret in case I mess it up. In which case I'll do extra snippets. 😅
Other than that I have planned Jewel's slightly spicy POV, and...

What's done:
-fixed minor bugs in the mini CC version of PFM + added a mobile (Android) version,
- added Laurent's branch to IF (accessible from 'Jewel's' or 'alone' branch),
- changed the first scene to include pronouns options (I just realized I'll need them sooner in Laurent's branch),
Working on: the preview of Nino's route. Progress:

*I finally decided on the spelling I am going to use. Fey = fairy folk collectively, plural. Fae = a single member of the Fey. From what I saw during my looong research, every person does it differently, so I might as well do it how I want to.
** Prompt quotes are in italics
The snippets read like an IF, where "[]" means a choice. There are 3 of them in total. Sadly I can't use hyperlinks here, but hopefully it's not too annoying to read them one by one.<...

I am happy to announce that the jam is finished! (I mean it most likely could use an extra edit or two, but the script is done). The game's on the shorter side (about half an hour per playthrough), but I hope it will be enjoyable nonetheless.
Since I started working on PFM I always wanted to try participating in a jam, but now that I did, I have to say I prefer working on larger projects (I just can't NOT develop a simple idea into a larger one). 😅
Anyway, from now on I a...

Another sneak-peek of the IF project. The quality of the gifs is abysmal but it shows the gist of it. I'm about half-way through the first draft (at around 7k words), and I estimate the second half should be about the same length.&nbs...

Hard to believe it's 2022 already, isn't it? I feel like it's still 2020. Anyway, I hope the new year is treating you kindly.
For January, as a reminder or a fresh bit of info for the new peeps (hi hey hello!), I'll be taking part in the IF jam! The short story I'll be writing has only one RO, but a gender-selectable one, so hopefully you'll enjoy yourselves with them. I included screenshots of the freshly finished GUI, I was so excited I was hunched over it for 3 days straight. 😅 Fo...

I am a big dumdum and instead of queueing this post I just set it as a 'draft'. 🤡 Please let's just pretend it was on purpose.
About the progress. I was and still am a busy with paperwork, but worry not, I managed to get a bit of work done:

- added Reed's branch to the IF,

Holiday snippets 3/3 - Jewel
Taking out the first batch of almond cookies from the oven, Jewel lets out a heart-shattering sigh. The resignation in it is colored by slim traces of mirth, though. “I told you I’m not much of a cook.”
The self-depreciation is over-the-top. Yes, the pastries are slightly charred along the edges, and their shape deformed by the heat, but their aroma is absolutely divine and when you snatch one from the tray a burnt tongue is a small sacrifice for the melt-in-your-mouth crispy-on-t...

The shopping mall is absolutely packed this time of the year, and it’s only thanks to the government-assigned suppressants that you don’t have to deal with the smell-induced headaches. The booming cheerful music and the bright flickering lights, though, almost give you a migraine anyway.
Usually, given your affliction, you’d be smart enough to avoid plazas and marketplaces of all kinds this late into December, particularly on the weekends when the customers chase the last-minute s...

A quick one, just to let you know I am alive and working!
Real life is kicking my backside, but no worries, I have the two remaining snippets almost finished and there will be a partial update of the IF later this month. And some themed art, of course. Tomorrow is super busy for me, but after that, I'll have all the time in the world to work on PFM related stuff.
I hope y'all are doing great! Take care and 'see' you soon! <3
Holiday snippets 1/3 - Reed
“How about this one?” Picking up yet another ugly sweater - this time brick-red with a pattern that vaguely resembles evergreen conifers and reindeer... if you squint - Reed moves it around so you can observe it in the best light. Though to say that the abomination looks good in any light would be a lie.
“He’ll love it,” you affirm with all the certainty anyone who spoke to Flavio for more than five minutes can possess. His wardrobe consists of several interesting out...

Okay, so that's pretty much the only sneak-peek of the side project until the common route is finished, unless you're interested in the actual romance excerpts but that's as an extra if I get all the PFM snippets done on time.
The most important, though not colored or polished are the pics of the ROs and the first 2 BGs, then we have the playlists and rough sketches of the side characters.

It was not a great week for me since I barely got any sleep. That and I had a few important errands to run with my accountant bc my govt likes to make everything difficult. >:[
Anyways, what’s in store this month, in no particular order.

- slightly spicy POV, starting from Laurent because he was neglected a bit previously in the romance department, 2021-12-06 17:41:39 +0000 UTC View Post

Excuse me for the slight delay, I was hit by another burst of insomnia. That aside, the results are here:
Just as a reminder: as promised, despite Amalgam being delayed the remaining 2 route previews (Nino and Alan) will come out as well, though on a later date.

Okay so since the theme for the jam isn't out yet I don't have any material to work with (though I do have some ideas), but I wanted to introduce a coupleof sketches of Laurent I probably won't use for the spicy illustration, and 2 of my future ROs (please read the devlog if you haven't already). Here's Cova and Roshan (both are gender-selectable).
I had no time this month to draw anything else, but hopefully that'll change now that I am freer.
