This post is a sad one, and will require some prefacing that is a little uncomfortable for both of us. We hope that you'll all be understanding.
For the entirety of Dusky Hallow's existence, we (Duski and Hallows) have been a couple. We never denied it or tried to hide this information if asked, but we also never spoke openly about it out ...

Hello! Long time no speak. We're still here, life just got a bit nuts for a while. We're still working hard on the game! Hope everyone here is doing well.
This is a scene where... Look. Just don't question why Remy has a demon core in her kitchen. I promise she's being very careful with that screwdriver.
In preparation for the demo, I redid the art entirely for the mall and food court. They're central locations, and the originals were two of the first bits of background art I did for the game, so they were pretty crusty. (well, they were to m...

Hello all! Duski here! (for once)
I hope you’re doing well. I’ll cut right to it today. We’ve decided to change up the format of our Patreon. We want to use it more. You’ve probably noticed we don’t post much, (though we’re still here, still making the game!) and after many attempts and resolutions, we still don’t post as muc...

Hello everyone!
We recently released an update on Steam and Itch.io to Sanguine Rose to celebrate it being over a year since its official release. If you never got around to picking it up, it's 30% off for the Summer Sale as well, so it's really the ideal time.
Hello patrons, fans, and people who aren't quite sure how they got here, I'm Hallows and its time for our March Monthly Brief.
On the agenda this time is giving you a sneak peak at some of what we've been working on recently, what we're doing this month, and also some allusions to something secret coming up. So let's get right into it.

It's been a while since we last posted, so we wanted to make a quick post with updates on where we're at, why we haven't been posting, and reassure you that we very much are alive, well, and working on Joystick Bliss.
The long and short of it is that December was a pretty rough month for us, between the usual quarantine blues and having to...

Hi guys, Duski here.
Here is a little preview of what's in the art pack this month. There's not a great deal I can show in the image, since pretty much all of it is a bit too raunchy to be shown publicly here!
Apologies that it's late, and that there wasn't a preview earlier. This month wasn't a great one for me, as I've had a flare ...

Hey all! Duski here.
Here is the preview of the art pack for July! I'll be honest with you, it's been a weird month. With the Covid isolation and various other factors my head hasn't been in it's usual space. Hallows already mentioned, but while he's been creating the character creator I've had some time to work on a personal project, so t...

Hey hey hey!
As we've mentioned previously, we're bookending months with briefs and debriefs now. This one's a little late so we'll be talking more about what we're doing than what we're going to do. So, let's get on with it!
What are we up to?

Heyo! Duski here. I'd love to show you guys this painting I just finished. It was going to be for Steam advertising materials but ended up just not being finished in time.
I haven't done anything properly in acrylics for ages so it was fun to get back into it. (oil is my usual choice, but I wanted to try something extremely mixed medium, a...

As we mentioned in the April Debrief, we're bookending months with briefs and debriefs now. Towards the end of the month we'll put out a debrief for our patrons talking about what we've been up to throughout the month, and how progress is looking. Meanwhile briefs come at the start of the month, and we'll be talking abou...

Now that we're doing monthly art packs for our Hacker tier patrons, I thought it'd be good idea to talk a little about what's going into them.
So far the plan is to send it out via Patreon messages, to all people pledged to the Hacker tier on the 28th April. If you're an existing Lieut...

Duski here. We've been making changes to the Patreon page today, you might have noticed. I'll talk about them a bit for the curious or confused.
