Hi everybody.
Here is a poll just for fun to see which of our girls is the most popular one. Since the results will not impact the game's direction, we've decided to make it public.
The question is:
Who is your favorite girl?

Hi everybody.
This week Chestnut worked on two new backgrounds, completed a new sprite, and designed several new cutscenes from earlier scenes in the game. I am almost done with posing Simmone's content (excluding two cutscenes for which I don't have the art yet and also not counting the animations) and should start posing scenes from the second part of the update from this Mon...

Hi everybody.
Here's a video showing Chestnut preparing and coloring one of the sketches done by SantaKlaus.
As you can see in its first forty or so seconds, the background will show a scene from above the ramparts and will display a beautiful cityscape showing several of the main buildings of the Old Capital.
This background will be a bit like the announcement board in the vi...

Hi everybody.
The 0.6 direction poll has ended, and as you can see below, the results were incredibly close. Many of you liked to see more of Gretta, but the real match was between Rose and Gomira. In the end, Rose won by a single vote.
Therefore, the 0.6 update...

Hi everybody.
Here's Chesnut editing and coloring one of the sketches that we commissioned for this release. This is a work-in-progress, of course, and there is still a lot to be done, but I think you can get a good idea of how this background will look once it is done.
This video is at x7 speed, and I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everybody.
I hope you are all doing well.
Many of you joined toward the end of March, and I received several messages about the refunds, so I'll explain it here again for those who are new. Basically, if you become a patron in the final days of a month and continue to support us in the month after that, we always refund your earlier pledge. You don't really need to do anything ot...

Hi everybody.
Today Chestnut took a short break from drawing cutscenes (since we don't want to spoil the scene she's working on) to design a few of the bag items from 0.5 for this video. We have only included those more visually interesting items that don't give too much of the story away.
This video is at x6 speed, and I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers!
Hi everybody.

Hi everybody.
Here's a video that Chestnut recorded while drawing Simmone's dress. The artwork is still very much a work in progress; we have to make a few adjustments to align the dress better with the body and decide what color works best. But you can see the overall design and I hope you like it.

As you probably know, we're in the planning phase of 0.5, and although we can't yet share what we're going to do for the next release, we thought you might find it interesting to see the plan which we created last time for 0.4 and compare and contrast it with the final version of that update.

Hi everybody.
We have finished the update, fixed all of the known bugs, and tested it repeatedly with different save points. What we can say so far is that there are no major issues. I'm sure there will be a typo or a missing sprite attribute here and there (there always is), but I think the game is polished enough that we can announce a release date. If all goes well between t...
