I was scouring through the archives, looking for new material to use for my daily Dev of the Week post.
Then I saw a couple of shots that gave a great opportunity to talk about colour and mood, so here we are, another Dev Diary! Lets get to it.

Bit of trivia for the inquisitive sort - The lines hobgoblin says in the dream world in both routes are actually lines from Opedius Rex.
Creon: So what is it you want, Oedipus? To send me away from here?
Oedipus: Send you away? Absolutely not! I want you dead! Dead here, ...

Hey all, welcome to another dev diary, where I talk a little about the thought process behind the development. Aside from providing a unique insight, it also serves to strengthen my own understanding as I put them into words. Hopefully this will also prove to be enlightening to you!
Today I'll be talking about framing a shot to invoke emot...

Welcome all to another dev diary - where I break down a scene to discuss more about the process behind it.
Some of you might recognize the image from a previous update - I'll like to take the chance while this is fresh in my mind to talk a little ...

Just a heads up - I've added the dev status chart in the "About" section of the main page. I'll be updating this weekly so check in often!
That is all.
Have a great week everyone,

Happy Halloween all!
Here's a nice wallpaper for all you folks :)
2020-10-31 21:59:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, so this is getting a bit tricky and will eventually come and bite me if I'm not careful - essentially Patreon does not allow ungated adult content. (even thought we're flagged as an adult Patreon page)
I'll like to direct everyone to my itch.io page for any public downloads. Check it out here -
Good weekend all, never enough isn't it? Even more so when you've got a deadline to meet!
I'm being more judicious with the scenes I'm sharing now - don't want to give away too much for fear of spoilers!
Now, for this weeks main update - rendering is over 80% done. There's some re-rendering to do. (Because f...

A quick public post to show what we're up to - anyone else see the subtle hints we're trying to drop here? :) Using the lampshade to visually separate our characters who are otherwise physically in close contact.
So near. Yet so far.

After being sent away to study abroad because of an incident with Karen, you finally return home after four years. The girls in the house aren't really happy to see you're back. The other guy in the house is the reason you were sent away. Now you can choose, do you want to repair your relationship with the people in the house? Or will you allow ...

Hey all, a day late but happy July 4th for those in the states - hope you're all staying safe.
It's been another productive week, been squeezing every spare moment out of my machine rendering, if I'm not working, it's rendering. On the downside, it's like having a mini heater in the room in the midst of summer. This thing really runs hot!<...

The Puppeteers are rising... A secret power in the shadows who's willing to control everything by subtly destroying social values and morals. Nobody knows them. Nobody sees them. They're moving between the shadows but their tentacles are already everywhere. People love and happily welcome social new trends without suspecting anything about their...
2020-06-30 21:18:15 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, how's another week of lockdown treating everyone? I know it can take a toll on people mentally, so please take care of yourself!
So this week has been topsy turvey again, this working from home thing means people aren't respecting boundaries as much since we can be contacted at anytime now. And I'm absolutely shattered from all th...

Crazy week it's been isn't it? This human malware has really been disruptive, didn't get much done this week while I'm trying to figure out new arrangements with work and all. Lock-down is about to happen and I'm in self-quarantine right now.
More detailed update to come for patrons later this week, in the meantime - stay safe everyo...

2020-02-13 00:57:40 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, so I've had a day or two to finally rest after the last hectic couple of weeks, also had sometime to read all the feedback and gather my thoughts.
We went to a pretty dark place this release didn't we? Emotionally, it was also taxing to write. Really draining. But we're not quite finish yet, this episode ends on a clif...

Hey there lovely patrons and followers, as we approach our 1 year anniversary of launching the Patreon page, we've got some plans for a Tier refresh!
Our setup has served us quite well till now, so there's not much need to do massive structural changes. And as evident by our recent poll, people seems to be happy with the status quo :D, tha...

Hi all, it's also been awhile since I've did a dev diary type post and catalogue my thought process when it comes to crafting a shot.
So today I'll like to write a bit more about camera and lighting - essentially the work involved as a director of photography in your own project. But first a disclaimer, while I've had a fair amount of expe...
2020-01-22 23:16:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, it's been a while since the last public update!
We're getting real close the next release now, and patrons have had the chance to see some of the cool stuff that's coming out in the next version!
So what's been happening since our last release?
Well we've not just been busy writing and rendering, but also made a ...

Hey all, here's the 13.5 release, should you choose to start a new game, you'll now get the option to start Day 4 with two options - Party (Corruption), or no Party (Romance).
There's also been a slew of polish changes stemming from feedback.

2019-11-30 13:03:19 +0000 UTC View PostThe poll results are pretty clear and largely unchanged from before!
Romance it is. Which is just as well, since I’ve finished plotting that path till the end. Dialogue for the next release is in progress now and should be done by end of the week.
Actual progress update post is yet to come, I’ll describe the plot progression in...

We're now featured on the New and Popular VN section on Itch.io!
That's amazing! If you could rate the game that would be awesome too :D
Thanks again everyone!
PS: 13.5 release is coming, expect it in the next few hours!

Hey everyone! so after a couple day's rest, I finally gathered my thoughts and feedback thus far.
Thanks so much for your support everyone, people has really been anticipating this release, and it has been largely positive! When m...
2019-11-15 22:47:40 +0000 UTC View PostJust finished another play through of the release, and I'm happy to say it's effectively done at this point. Sound really adds a ton to the experience. That'll probably be my focus for the rest of the week - building a sound library and integrating it.
I gotta say, I feel like I wanted to tell more of the story when I reached the end...

Just a quick sneak peek as I start working through the last scenes today. I'm gonna be here allll night. There's multiple branching paths in this update and everything needs to be rendered! The paths aren't long but figuring out the routes and story behind has been time consuming. That's not including the major love/corruption paths either. Thes...

Here I am sitting down, crafting facial expressions when I finally manage a look of exasperation and amusement. Just what did our MC say to her? I'm rather pleased with how this looks so I'm releasing this to everyone as a quick mid-week peek!
This is just a screengrab from DAZ, final render with colour correction will look much better! 2019-07-23 21:06:10 +0000 UTC View Post
