Brando's Character Design

This is the character design of somebody new who is going to enrich the world in-game. This meaty fellow has been drawn by our very talented artist Weißer Rauch.

Is he as important as he looks? What is this fella like?

He could be a professor of kinds, perhaps even a progenitor in his field. Or maybe, he prefers the dramatic; he would certainly make a good and handsome actor. Don't...

Identity - Update a.12

A new challenger approaches!

Hello once again to this time of the month. Recently a new somebody has been added to our roster. Not in the game, but rather around the game. It's a new writer who goes by the alias Lone Wanderer!

So... what does a new writer added to the project do? I write! I already had the pleasure to occasionally contribute some edits to the game, although it was r...

Update a.11 Public Release!

Hey guys! With the turn of the new month incoming, we're now releasing Update a.11 for everyone!

This update brings new sprites as well as new story content. Both Brymror and Kovle have received clothed sprites to look nicer, as drawn by our sprite artist Folsky!

Mindalu WIP Character Designs

Hey guys! This is Mindalu, an old but very lively lizard lady. You may have encountered her in text through our latest update. Thanks to Rauch, we've now got the first design sketches for her character.

She's a very fashionable lizzy, as can be seen. Very demanding as well. She also enjoys the company of men, probably too much :P

What do you guys think of her? Let us know in the com...

Master Suite Bathroom WIP

Hey guys! After a short hiatus without new background work (due to our background artist having dealt with a serious issue IRL), we're back and at it again!

Here, we have a WIP of the master suite's bathroom. It's soo big! Yup, plenty of room to allow you to relax after a tiring day (and let off some steam with the boys~ ;3 ).

Identity - Update a.11

Hey guys! Another month, another opportunity for new starts. And what better way to start off a month than with a surprise? In this update, you may be surprised to find Brym to be fully clothed. Both him and Kovle have received updates to their sprites to look nicer, drawn by our talented sprite artist Folsky!

Speaking of the bar, Update a.11 also continues the story from where we left of...

Update a.10 Public Release!

Hey guys! As per usual, Update a.10 has now been released for everyone! This update continues the plot and adds a new background (the hotel bar lounge, which also means a finished title screen artwork), as well as the new Brymror sprite!

As always, links and mirrors for downloading Update a.10 can be found on our Patreon's page header. The changelog highlights and details can be viewed he...

Remaking Sprites: Kovle (WIP)

Hey guys! Another sprite is almost finished, and Kovle sure loves things done on time! This is the newly reworked sprite for him. He sure looks confident and likes to brag >;3

It's only a flat for now, but it will soon be fully shaded and ready to replace our current Kovle sprite. We'd love to hear your thoughts on it though! <3

Identity - Update a.10

 (This is a long post, you can find the download links at the bottom of it, for those that prefer the tl;dr approach. Even though, you might want to read these, heh.)

Hey guys! Woohoo!!! It's been 10 months since we started this project! How crazy! So, what better way to celebrate it than with another update?

That's right, Update a.10 is now up for you to enjoy! Perhaps the mos...

Update a.09 Public Release!

Hey guys! Another month has passed, a new batch of updates cycles through. Update a.09 is now released to the public! More story bits, a redesigned title screen, a revamped theme to go with it, as well other improvements!

Also, yeah, Brymror now has an actual sprite! He's massive, isn't he? The sprite however isn't part of this update, but part of Update a.10 which will be up soon for pat...

First Brymror Sprite WIP! (Neutral)

Hey guys! In the dawn of the new update, we bring you our first actual sprite of Brymror! It's only a flat for now, but it will soon be fully shaded and ready to replace our current Brym sprite (the concept art).

Naturally, his sprite is remade using Folsky's improved style for sprites, and since we're always making them by starting from the naked versions, this is also Brym's first shot ...

Download Mirrors Poll

Hey guys! Quick poll: Which services would you prefer us to use for hosting dev builds of our project?

We added some of most popular choices to the poll, but feel free to suggest other services as well! You can also vote more than once :3

Folktails: Early Design Ideas & Lore

Hey guys! Today, we shed some light on a topic that many of you may be wondering about: our first design ideas regarding the Folktails!

To give a bit of context, in our story, the Folktails are the mysterious natives which populate the mountain ranges surrounding the Grand Azazel Hotel (and not just). As descendants of elder shamans and healers, their closest human counterpart would be th...

Android build is now up for Update a.09

Hey guys! Quick update to let you know that we got the Android build working again with a.09. However, sfx sounds will be disabled on mobile until we find a way to implement them without causing RenPy to crash :P The links are present in the update post.

Identity - Update a.09

Hey guys! Sorry for the delay! Today, we're bringing you a new update of Identity! It brings more story alternatives to the events occurring after the gym scene (we're focusing on this particular thread so we can write everything up until the end of the prologue there), a whole new title screen (and a new music theme to go with it!) as well other improvements!

Probably the most noticeable...

Update delay

Hey guys! Unfortunately, we might need to delay Update a.09 until tomorrow due to some unexpected last minute schedule changes. We're terribly sorry for the inconvenience this creates and we will do our best to prevent these moments from happening in the future.

Update a.08 Public Release!

Hey guys! Identity Update a.08 was now made available to the public! It lacks new story bits but makes up for that by adding a multitude of new art assets and sounds to the game!

Addressing Cedrik's private parts design

Hey guys! So, we want to address an issue which has been brought up quite a few times on our posts regarding Cedrik's genitalia.

We've originally envisioned him to have a genital slit housing a tapered prehensile penis. Over time, though, we've also started considering using a hemipenis design (essentially two penises) for him, as many marine and amphibious creatures tend to have this for...

We are now Juicy Drake Studios!

Hey guys! We are excited to announce that we have finally found an official name for our team! From now on, we're going to be referring to ourselves as Juicy Drake Studios!

Now, this is going to become our publisher name for when we release our game on Steam. The 'Studios' part is sort of informal though, as we're not a proper studio but more like a small indie team of freelancers. Nevert...

Redesigning the Main Menu: Concepts

Hey, guys! We're back with more concepts for you! This time, it's the main menu's turn to be reworked.

So you may have noticed that the current background image of our title screen is... unusual, to say the least. It doesn't fit with the overall theme of the novel and feels taken out of context.

<...

Identity - Update a.08

Hey guys! Here we have the a new update of Identity, just in time for April Fools', I mean, Easter!

As we've announced earlier on this month, due to our writer having a hard time with his jobs and feeling really stressed, we chose to not add more story fragments to the game. However, this gave us the opportunity to fill in some of the gaps in terms of artwork (and add some actual music!) ...

Standard Hotel Elevator WIP

Hey guys! Back at it again with some more WIP previews! Here, we've got the more modernized and spacious hotel elevator, completely different from the old-fashioned yet stylish VIP elevator from some time ago.

This type of elevator is designed to accommodate a wider range of creatures and be easier to use. It's also able to carry more weight than the VIP one does, in a much more comfortab...

Some news regarding our writer

Hey guys! We've got some news about the story, though they're not necessarily great...

To put it bluntly, we wanted to let you know that there will be less story content outputted for this next update, unfortunately. This is because our writer, SiriusLeeLost, has gotten particularly tired lately, due to his work giving him a very stressful time. He's working 3 separate jobs, and on top of...

Brymror Design Preview - Standing Pose

Smokin' Jesus titty cinnamon! That is a monster! That's gonna be sweet!

Hey guys! Today, we've got a special meal on the menu: the first colored preview of Brymror! :D

Getting this Goliath to shine in full color was not an easy feat, let us tell you that much! His rather unique proportions and ability to shift stances between all-fours and standing upright made his design b...

Identity - Update a.07

Hey guys! 1st of the month is here, so it's time for Update a.07! This update brings alternative choices and butterfly effects to the gym scene and adds a few new backgrounds as well!

As you can see from the update art, we're also making real progress on Brym's design! Sketches are done for both his all-fours pose, as well as his bipedal hunched stance. We have FluffedWings to thank for m...

Update a.06 Public Release!

Hey guys! We're up and at it again, releasing another update to the public!

First of all, let's just address the elephant in the room here... that is indeed the infamous a.01 shower sex scene between the MC and Garreth. (It's blurred out to abide to Patreon's rules, you can find the uncensored version on our ...

Remaking Sprites: Cedrik WIP

Hey guys! We wanted to let you know that our sprite artist, Folsky, started reworking the sprites, with Cedrik coming first on the list. This is due to a number of reasons.

First of all, when we originally approached the subject of sprites in the team, we were inexperienced and thus we went with what we thought was right. We decided to take the project's screen size (1920x1080 pixels) as ...

GA Hotel Logo Candidates

First of all, a big thank you to everyone who has submitted comments on our last WIP post! Your opinions and feedback helped us improve our logo design and get a feel of what you guys like and want to see more of! :}

This being said, we've improved and finalized the design of the mountain centerpiece. It is now even more stylized, symbolizing the A (in Azazel) in the shape of a mountain p...
