Okay, to show you guys what I am doing right now aside from the merch design.

I am testing a new app, and here's a sneak-peek of a possible main menu illustration for the IF's GUI. I am doing realism again so it takes ages. 

The IF's prologue is at 6k words right now. I want to have all the MC customization scenes done by the end of this month (+ Reed's introduction, but that's already written).

Other than that, I am coding the customized the first illustration into the...

🐰🐇🥚🌷Happy Easter!🌷🥚🐇🐰

Happy (early) Easter to those of you who celebrate it, and Happy Sunday (and Saturday) to those of you who don't!

An offtopic, but it annoys the heck out of me that apparently male nipples are a-okay but female nipples require me to change the channel's rating. So... I censored everyone's nipples because ~equality~ 😒

I am getting my wisdom tooth extracted later today, so I might be offline for up to a week (hopefully not so long). 

I queued the mobile version of the game (including the newest chapter - public version) on Thursday and Laurent's confession POV on Sunday (fixed the bug where the game ended abruptly before the proper confession). 

Other than that, April will be a busy month (project-wise) and I hope to show you at least a part of the IF's prologue which I am writing in b...

I just noticed that I pasted some of the lines in the wrong order 🙈. I guess there should be a saying, 'don't edit while sleep-deprived'. But hey, I figured it out. At any rate, Reed's route will be uploaded tomorrow, I simply can't look at it any longer. 😂😅

Some things to bear in mind:

I remember saying that the 'angsty' options will lead to a good ending, but I changed my mind (kind of). Working on this chapter and the growing popularity of Perfumare made me worry about...

So, I had a stressful week because of the thing that shall not be named, but anyways. 😩

The pic you see is how the cover image is going to look like for this chapter. I think I'll keep the aesthetic unless I fix up something nicer.

I am honestly considering making the art assets in the IF version in grayscale with one solid color for contrast, animated of course. By doing that I might be able to make a fully customizable MC, since it'd lessen heavily the amount of files I'd hav...

A late devlog, but with good news! ✨

I just finished writing Reed's route (Chapter VI)! The first half is already edited, the second one I am editing right now. After that, I'll just need to code the script and all that jazz.

I decided to add two new-ish sprites (a change of clothes for... you'll see), so that might take a hot second, but the Beta Version should be uploaded by Monday!

Ufff. I hope you're doing good, guys! Take care! ❤️

I completely forgot that February is so damn short. 😠 

Anyway, I don't want to promise anything but Reed's route should be finished in a week or two, it shouldn't take any longer than that. So if I am quiet it's because I am spending all my free time on that.

After chap VI is done I'll focus on Laurent's POV (second confession) and then the chosen snippets (ah, forgot to mention ...

Sorry for the late devlog, I had a family situation. 

Now, to the important stuff:

- changed the sound of rain in Laurent's route + added a few sentences here and there,

- added an additional BG inside the building where the MC's lives,

- fixed a bug where the game abruptly ends if you don't romance Laurent and/or skipped the romance scene in Chapter V (w...

Here’s the ‘no-filter’ version of Reed’s pic I posted on my Twitter/Tumblr yesterday, full size and all that + 2 different filters. 

Also the word count, since I started writing Reed’s route in-between the extras. I just finished the draft; it seems like I’ll be introducing another character, one of Alan’s lackeys this time. I tried to wrap up the demo, but some scenes/characters can’t be skipped so ugh, sorry about that. 

I’ll prepare some extra sketch...

A busy week ahead! I’ll try to finish the last two seasonal extras this week (or the next) so I can focus on Reed’s route completely while I still have some free time left. 😭

Also, I am almost done with the seasonal art. This time I wanted to make something different, so I used a screen phone format with individual ROs on each pic. I am adding a little sketch of Jewel’s art and a sneak peek of the new notebook button! I need to code it, but how it’s gonna work: the first one ...

Quick one today.


I am done writing Laurent's route! ✨ I had these 2 weeks completely free so I was working working and working on it. All that's left is proofreading and coding.

Today I am working on the last companion CG for the Yellow+ version and new sprites (new character intro for that route).

Beta version should be uploaded before 31.01 (if I don'...

This week was just ugh. Anyway, here’s the progress for the last art assets:

  • Laurent CG2

Since Laurent doesn’t get any spice yet, I decided to add an extra CG anyway and write a short scene that otherise would be cut from the demo. Ah, and in case I forgot to mention it here, Laurent’s confession will have 2 versions (+ variations aka...

Reed + Jewel snippet (pre-New Year’s Eve) 1/2

The push is smooth, and the key buries itself inside the lock like a knife in a block of warm butter, flicking twice to the right then sliding out of the latch just as easily as it had entered.

Taking a deep exhale to taste the fresh frost on her tongue, Jewel hides the keys inside the breast pocket of her blazer, patting the material here to make sure it’s secured properly. Once she’s done, with a spring step she pivots, ready to return home, only to pause when a familiar silhouett...

Last week I was making an outline for the IF demo I will be working on before the last chapter of PFM is finished. I wrote nearly 10k, and it’s still the first scene! Yeah, you can imagine how many choices I added. 😂 I am not drawing any art for it yet, but the Patreon version will have BGs and CGs.

More importantly, I started writing Laurent’s route. I am only at 2k right now, but we’...

New Year's Eve Extra - Laurent ft. 🤡 and 🔪

In the span of thirty seconds, the entire neighborhood fills with smoke. Between the first discharge and the fifth, the thick vapor cloaks the black sky with a layer of gray.

The cacophony of blasting fireworks outside makes Flavio burst out with giddy laughter. “Eager, aren’t they?” He muses, stealing a look at the wall clock. Nobody answers, but he isn’t exactly waiting for a reply. From the inside pocket of his red biker jacket, he finishes out a small bottle of vodka and sla...

I am happy to say that I managed to finish all extras I had planned for this month, though I wanted to add one more short story, but sadly my migraines and insomnia made it impossible. 🥴 Well, at least everything else is done, so I can’t complain. 😩

Right now I am coding Jewel’s POV, it should be done in a couple of days max. The rest of this week I’ll be super busy helping my parents with xmas, but next week I am...

Missing scene #3 Laurent ft. Maverick 🐶

Plastered to the back of the passenger’s seat, Maverick makes a great impression of a sheet, with how pale and rigid he is. In his head, he can practically hear Flavio’s voice, saying, ‘Boss wouldn’t off you for that… Probably.” And, ‘Well, even if he tries, your kind is hard to kill, eh?’

Which, sure, Distant Healers are resilient. But not that resilient.

During Maverick’s short but intense internship, he’s found himself eye to eye with the impending ...

Coding should take me less that a day, but it’s a monster-chapter (~20k words) with A LOT of variables and CGs. So....haha. Lots of work ahead but I am excited to show you the res...

Hi, so the script is half-way done (13k), and it’s already longer than the last one. At worst, I should be finished with writing and editing within 2 weeks, then after I hear back from my proofreaders I’ll upload the route for beta access and after it’s checked by my last proofreader, it will be accessible to Black Rooks as well (so nothing had changed with the process).

Scene progress so far:
