I want to wish everyone some happy holidays and a happy new year! Times are quit different with lockdowns in many countries, so celebrating with family has been quite rare.
Regardless, I hope 2021 will be much better to us!
I'm a little behind on work (drawing 2 CGs at the moment), but the update will go through on the 4th as usual :...

And this will be the last character that will appear in Gray's route! This is Ivan. That means I have finished sketching out all of the side characters for Gray and Aiden's route and can now look for voice actors to accommodate them :)

I finished writing James' chapter 27 - and that's it! That's all for an update, hahaha. I spent the entire month just trying to hash out details and struggling to write the actual endings for both versions.
It was quite stressful, but hopefully I ...
2020-12-20 04:25:43 +0000 UTC View PostAs the below post detailed, some new Patreons couldn't connect their Itch account to Patreon, saying that they didn't have a pledge for the tier, and thus were unable to download the game.
Itch got back to me and said they pushed out a fix for this several days ago... so I want to know if any new Patreons (since this month) still encounter...
2020-12-09 19:34:46 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a lot of reports from new Patreons who are unable to connect their Patreon to Itch because it gives an error, it is most likely due to the currency change I implemented last month. Euros is now my preferred currency, however Itch works on US dollars. So it is denying you access to the game, despite having the right tier fo...

2020-11-13 02:38:35 +0000 UTC View PostThis marks the 50th time I've made a biweekly update. I am now ending the biweekly updates and switching over to monthly updates to tally what I've done in that month, whilst continuing to post regularly about smaller updates.
Why the discontinuation? Sometimes not a lot of things happen in between updates. Writing for example, takes up 50...

Will appear in chapter 26!
The track that will be playing during this scene is called "The Call" 😉

Sprites tint according to the time of the current events to match the background. So if it's night, the sprites turn darker. However, I came across a small exception in that system: what if certain parts of the character remain bright?
Caine is a big example here; his electric hair sparkles and shines. If he gets tinted to be darker since ...

I held a poll before to see how many were interested in designing a side character. There were a lot that weren't interested, but if only a few were, then that's still good enough for me!

Since there was some discussion in the Discord about how people are starting to warm up to James, I figured a poll to check in with everyone would be fun to do!
Let me know what your feelings are for James at this point. Only take it if you've caught up with all 22 available chapters :)
Biweekly updates are back!
Game progress:
- Added James' chapters 21-24
- Added two new jacket types (quilted bomber & trench)

Since Patreon now offers the option to change the currency from US dollars to euros, I converted all the tiers to euros (I am from the Netherlands). Previous Patreons are unaffected - this change only accounts for new Patreons, who will roughly pay $10.50 (€9) for that tier. So keep that in mind if you stop pledging and will pledge again in th...
2020-10-03 13:51:58 +0000 UTC View PostAiden's route has its own set of side characters, who haven't appeared in other routes yet. Originally I had included a girl among them, but turned them into a guy (as most people you meet in MOBAs are guys). However, it is quite a sausage fest so I wanted to give a small role to a minor female character, another fellow gamer.
Before desig...

2020-09-21 16:02:15 +0000 UTC View PostI honestly can't bring myself in the mindset to write - too much thinking at the moment. However, drawing is something I can do without much thought, so I've been focusing on some art instead.
I've been adding a few new items, mostly to expand on jackets since there were not a whole lot of options for them.

Just letting you know I still won't be doing the biweekly updates, but will post here and there with some progress. I'll be taking some personal time due to another death in the family, so I don't want to deal with biweekly updates again.

Finished all art assets for this month, including Alex's older sprite! As well as a small tweak to his previous sprite, mainly the hair was redrawn and made darker, skin tone changed as well.
Alex plays a small role in James' route, so he'll be appearing as well.
This was Alex's original sprite:

To prepare for Aiden's route, my programmer wrote a script to add a dictionary to the game. Now, highlighted words in pink can be hovered over with your mouse, and you should see a definition of that word appear at the top.

There's only male characters available, and you cannot pick characters that haven't appeared yet.
You can also choose whose design interests you the most for upcoming s...
