The Fountain, but something's different

what happened :O

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone here from us at Art Witch :D 

It's been a big year, lots of ups, lots of downs.  We weren't table to release in 2023 like we wanted, and while the pains me to say, it's just how it went.  I've said it before, but there truly isn't a lot left. I've got Frosty's list here, and all of the game's important content is in the game and ready for release. What remains is some sound effects, putting in the music, checking over all the codey bits and test...

Crimmas!

Merry Christmas to all the homies, love Art Witch Studios :D 

You can open it on Christmas. 

Not before

>:(

k'nif

Behold, some manner of deadly weapon, for purposes known to me and not to you, probably. 

Swirly

I almost forgot about this one scene, which came about when we were all in a Discord call and just making jokes about weird stuff at the carnival.  But what is it? Guesses welcome :D

Lovely backgrounds

These are some backgrounds for a couple of scenes in the game, which also include some OC's belonging to some of our patreons! Shout out of you recognise one of them! :D

A new timelapse

A video of Aila drawing some art for the game, in real time, and definitely not sped up at all!
(Aila is amazing)

WHY IS IT SPICY!?

Anna cannot handle this particular kind of spice, despite being a succubus from Hell.

Switcheroo

What if Jan was the succubus and Anna was the vampire? This is a full-res, wallpaper sized version of the post that went out on Halloween, with all the lovely detail you could want!

Old Kissing Booth

The first iteration of the kissing booth was a lot smaller and looked a lot sadder. Now it's rad as hell. 

Kissing Booth

Redwarmachine was right, the sketch from last week is indeed the kissing booth!

The new scene sketch

Can you guess what this one is? (no cheating)

FEESH

Aila enjoyed this one very much, because that's the face she makes when seeing feesh too. 

Origami

Anna is happy, she gets to make cute things by folding paper today. It's important to have hobbies, you can't go and do a blood ritual every day you know. 

D&D

A fun wholesome game of D&D! Anna seems very happy, I wonder what she did?

Night Two Menu Wallpaper

This is my favorite wallpaper. Aila did such an amazing job on the main menu background for Night Two. I'm not sure how she did it, but I like this one even more than Night One's! Here it is for you guys, at a juicy 1440p!

Dev Update

Yes, we’re still working!

We're very active on other places, like our Discord, but we haven't been updating you guys on here as often as we really should. We're working on it every day, and it's time we put out an update to let everyone know where we're at, and to keep you all in the loop. I'm sorry it's been so long coming.


Checking in, what we're doing:
Frosto is: Programming scenes, writing more scenes, editing, designing animations, directing audio,...

Naomi's Magic Wallpaper

A wallpaper of Naomi's magic, I mean. The wallpaper itself is not magic.

What's on the menu

Broke: select your character's sex

Woke: what you want from mcthiccburger

Aila is once again working on art we will need in the future :D

The Paranormal Nerds

The paranormal club are a bunch of nerds who are real sure that weird stuff is happening in Crescent Valley. Of course, that's ridiculous, monsters aren't real. Here's an audio club Frosto has assembled, ready to go into the next scene he's working on!

Glorious Return

Hello, friends!

Sorry about the lack of posts over the past couple of weeks. As I mentioned in the last post, Frosto, the guy in charge of all this, was moving house. Moving house takes a lot of time and effort, both mental and physical, so he hasn't been able to work on the game.  Now that he's moved in, and should be more or less situated by now, the ice man is getting back to work on Night Two!

Aila meanwhile, has also been putting in some pen time between her super cool s...

Cherry Bomb's Succubi Shootout

Frosto is still working on audio for our voice actors, and here's some more! It's not totally done, and these take a bunch of time, but they add a ton to the scene. 

Also, just so you all know, The Big Man himself, Lead Dev Frosto, will be moving house in a rush. His current apartment is a hazard to live in for both himself and the kitty, it's growing mold and mushrooms, and the management won't do anything. Once he's moved, he'll have more space for all his dumb nerd stuff, like h...

Cherry Bomb Audio

Today I have a sample of some of the super juicy audio from one of Love Sucks: Night Two's side characters, the super sexy second succubus, Cherry Riviera, who has a college radio show where she goes by the alias Cherry Bomb!

h*nd h*lding.

Patreon build last week was great fun, but as Frosto continues to work and deal with the heaping load of BS life throws at him, doing stuff that isn't really any fun to show, Aila too has been putting in the time with the pen, and working on yet more art for the eventual girl mode, including our lewdest scene.

Love Sucks Night Two Trailer

Hello, friends!

One of the requirements to launch your game on Steam is to have a trailer, even if it's just a visual novel. We probably would have chosen not to have a trailer, given the gameplay for a visual novel doesn't make for the most exciting thing to watch, but Steam says you gotta have one, so we've asked a cool dude to make one for us! 

It's been through a lot of iterations, but we're pretty happy with this one.  Those of you who are on our Discord may have al...

The Wheel

Today I have for you a sample of some of the audio that Frosty has been putting together over the past few weeks. There's a lot of voice acting to get through, but I think he's doing a good job! 

This is also a preview of something that will be in the next Patron build which should be coming very soon, once he's done with the current scene he's working on!

Main Menu art Time Lapse

This is a timelapse of Aila creating the main menu art features in Love Sucks: Night two, from blank canvas to finished art! :D

I often see Aila's sketches, her lines, flats and then finished art, but I don't often get to see her actually draw outside of the stuff she does on her streams. A lot of stuff, I never see drawn at all! That's why I find it super nice to see her creative process in putting together art for this game. 

I've put this as an unlisted video on youtube, b...

The Closest, but now with a lady

As work on N2 progresses in a way that there's not really anything I can SHOW you, unless you're into screenshots of audacity for some reason, Aila has been working on art that we will one day need in the future, and continuing with her latest artistic trend, she's gotten to that one famous scene in the closet, except the MC is a lady with a weiner :O

Voice acting preview

Night Two has a **LOT** more voice acting than Night One. The voice actors have done some incredible work and they really give a lot of life to their scenes.  Frosty has been putting in a lot of time turning the lines that the VAs gave us into audio clips that he can put in the code, and that turns out to be quite a bit more time intensive than he thought. But when it's done, we get scenes like this one, where the MC meets Addy, Naomi's roommate. 

MC/FemC

Theo and Sarah may be seperate characters, and may not actually be twins, but in the planned girl mode, Sarah will take Theo's place in the story. Mostly everything else should remain the same, but obviously much of the art will be different, and sex scenes will play out different. It's a big project, and we want to focus on actually completing the game's story so it can be played by everyone who has been with us waiting to see more of this game for so long, but eventually, my fellow LGBT+ ho...
