Hello everyone, happy March!
I’d like to start the month off by discussing future plans for Destination Delirium and laying out a rough timeline of the upcoming content.
First off, this month I’m going to be finishing up some systems level stuff including:
Destination Delirium is our newest project. It's a sandbox-style adult adventure game where you're given an all-acc...
2022-08-01 06:03:09 +0000 UTC View PostWell, this update is quite a bit overdue.
Not gonna lie, been loosing track of time *hardcore* lately.
There's a lot going on but here's a gist of what's going on with the projects on the front burner:
1. Destination Delirium:
It's actually progressing nicely, if slowly. I have a lot of really nice character designs and artwork for some finis...

Also, for those of you that missed the Christmas Izzie: here's a belated present:
I've been pretty quiet these last 3 months so let me take the time to finally give ya'll a peek at what I've been cooking up.
I've been thinking a lot about my progress as a ...
I am looking to cast a voice actress to voice Isabel, the geeky dragon girl from the first LBB episode, for an upcoming audio-focused side project.
The script is not complete yet, I was originally going to wait until it was done before casting an actress, but then we decided that...

A beta of the build that's going live on Steam at the end of the week.
Double checking it for bugs and also trying to optimize it a bit and reduce the filesize.
Let me know if you encounter any bugs or typos or anything else that should be fixed.
Just got the last batch of art for the next, and "final" (more on that in a bit) update to the Carthaginia mini-sode. 4 new full color, beautifully rendered cgs to cap off the episode with a romantic sex scene. I suppose I can go ahead and show ya'll one of them:
Currently editing and implementin...

Okay, so the first update for the Carthaginia Mini VN has been released, straight to Steam and...
2021-09-02 00:04:36 +0000 UTC View PostNeither of these is final, but here's the two "leading" versions of the upcoming robot character, both variations on the same core concept.
We're wondering which version you prefer and why.
The "Purple" one leans a bit more androgynous and is a bit more cute and non-threatening.&nbs...

This character design was actually an adoptable I picked up from SadflowerHappy a while back; and actually so was Vivi, the zombie girl from the last character preview post.
Anyway, my first inkling actually wasn't to put her straight into LBB but use her as a boss and/or playable character...
Here’s what’s up:
1. The Little Black Bestiary: The Salted Cookies of Carthaginia sold about 200 copies in it’s launch week. My goal sales number to consider it “successful” is 1000 copies sold, so we’re about a fifth of the way there! ...

So, of course, the biggest piece of news this week was the release of Carthaginia's mini-episode.
I'm planning to do two more updates to it; for the express purpose of power-gaming Steam's visibility algorithm, but also to give everyone a bit more content to make it worth it's price tag. (Thr...
Here's the 1.0 release of the Carthaginia mini-episode.
Compared to the 0.9 Beta, it has one additional CG, a couple more expressions and a few text/typo fixes.
Gunning for a public (Paid) release on Steam and Itch.io this weekend and/or early next week.
Let me know if you encount...

The Carthaginia Mini-episode is *just* about ready to play. ETA this weekend for a beta build.
Just making a few more adjustments to the script and formatting a few more CG variations.
I'm planning on two post-release content updates for it, ultimately making the mini *slightly less* mini in ...
I've been getting some periodic picture/sketch requests from artists featuring my characters, but I just occurred to me that it would be a good idea to have patrons make suggestions for characters and situations they'd like to see.
For instance, here's some various lewd sketches I've gotten with the LBB characters from a few different artists. More stuff along these lines.

So, here it is. Ya'll get to try it out first and then I'm planning a public release on Newgrounds for Cinco De Mayo. This is a windows build. I can make linux or android ones if the demand is there. Mac builds never. HTML build will be the public release next week. Let me know if you catch any bug...
First off, some spring cleaning.
I think I should double down on my stance that this Patreon is primarily a tip jar for our free releases rather than a vehicle for to actually "sell" anything, and just officially remove the tier rewards for now; at least until I get a smoother workflow established and a solid plan for actually giving tier appropriate rewards regularly. Patrons in ge...
2021-04-19 00:41:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo, Coldfusion wanted to try designing a plant girl that was more clearly a sentient plant as opposed to what he referred to as "green skinned elves with flowers in their hair" and he came up with this concept. Been sitting on the initial sketch for a while trying to figure out a workable backstory and such for her.
In terms of physical appearance, she might not be everyone's cup of...

2020 hasn’t exactly gone as well as I would have liked. Well, that’s the general sentiment all around, but I’m specifically referring to how things have gone with CyberScherzo Studios as a game dev group and how we’ve stalled out on releasing content. Rather than pick a scapegoat or try to find excuses, I’ll say it’s b...

I've brought this up before in some previous posts and polls, but we've going to try stepping away from the 'faceless hentai protagonists' we'd used in our previous releases. This post is all about the designs and concepts for some of the upcoming playable protagonist characters! I would really like to hear your opinions on them.

We've been kicking around the idea of setting the Little Black Bestiary series around a central hub location: A sprawling metropolis city akin to NYC or Tokyo which is made up of several districts that cater primarily to the needs/culture of different types of monster races.
Here's some concept sketches for different areas. The odd one out is the one that looks like ruins, which isn't p...
Not to give excuses, but IRL stuff has been kicking my butt pretty hard again lately. I've been stalling on giving some updates until I had some real substantial news, but basically two months slipped by me doing so. It's made me realize I need to make some *substantial* changes to the way I work and organize things.
First off It's pretty clear at this point I've bitten off more than I ...
It's been a while since we've done one of these character profiles! This profile was part of a tryout for a new addition to the writing team. Working on getting the right people to speed up content production a bit, but more on those plans once I finish writing up the next status update. For now, hope you enjoy.

Hello everyone!
I hope you're all staying safe and healthy throughout everything 2020 has been throwing at us so far.
Managed to pick up the pace a little more in July, and we've got some pretty cool stuff in the works. Right now I'm working on polishing up and overhauling the first section...
Things have been rough the last couple months but I'm still pretty hopeful about how things are looking for the future. (Goes for both game dev and well... life in general right now.)
So first off, Patreon.
As most of you have probably already heard, Patreon will soon be forced by multiple governments to start charging sales tax to many patrons it didn't previously charge. This should...
Patreon sent me a reminder that today is my "Patreon Anniversary"
Well, really, they wanted me to "celebrate" by launching a limited time special offer. Bleh.
I'll do any cheesy marketing grabs on my own terms, thank you very much Patreon.
So instead, we decided to celebrate the anniversary of the release of Isabel's episode (Which is also around this time) by whipping this up. K...
Spoiler:
You may have guessed it was coming but yes, you can lewd the elf.
Even though you're *supposed* to be dating her boss.
It's one of the alternate paths/endings the episode will have.
Scapefiend wanted to try out his hand at doing an animation for the game. Little rough around the edges but if people enjoy it we might try to do more. So far this is the only scen...
