Come va?

Long time no see! Hope you like how I changed some things over here while we're all being quarantined.

Here's some intriguing update .

No Thanks, Eros! - Update 6

How are your holidays going? Hope you guys are enjoying it! Here's a short last update for the month of December 2017.

No Thanks, Eros! - Update 5

Before proceeding with "NTE" update I'm happy to announce that you can now finally play << Before The Tale >> mature version on CloudNovel without having to sign up on their site.

You can check out the project lists' page then click the mature link if you're interested in playing it. Eventually I'll try finding someone who would proofread its game script. Since the thought never passed my mind before. In the meantime please try to ignore the game's grammatical errors. If you can. If not then, play at your own risk. lol

No Thanks, Eros! - Update 4

CloudNovel's winter jam officially starts!

No Thanks, Eros! - Update 3

First of all I made some slight changes again on this blog. Second, here's another progress update for "No Thanks, Eros!". From here on out I will be categorizing all of my future projects this way.

No Thanks, Eros! - Update 2

Surprisingly productive this week again too!

Productivity Week

I can't believe how productive I've been this week. Second post for October.

Still Alive and Haunting

Hallo everyone! This is my first blog post for October. 

Jams

The other day I learned that TyranoBuilder was hosting a game jam which would take place starting from 9th March to 7th May.

Azure Is Out!

After much self-doubt and horrible anxiety attack I published it!

You can play it here!

Thank goodness I finally got this story out of my system! 

As you may all know I had finished writing its script before Yaoi Jam begun last summer. After which I left it to collect dust only to reprise it by the end of 2016. 

I don't know when Blanco - the second story- well be released but thankfully the script is done. Not yet proofread but done. 

Anyway in case you have questions you know where to find me. 

Have a nice evening folks!

Azure Progress

Here goes another abrupt update.

Azure is almost ready to be published! Only a few more works to be done and the game will be ready.

Sadly, at the moment the download option at Cloudnovel is being worked upon so I don't know when I can "actually"  download the game and share it.

I still have to ask the admin wither the content is mature or not though.

Anyways, I'm really looking forward for the game feedbacks!

White Book Progress

Azure is coming along fine. 

Yesterday night I added the backgrounds and started surfing online for free bgms. I will probably only use one or two tracks for this game since well it is pretty much short. Game play is roughly around 10 minutes, which makes it my shortest game ever followed by Bus Stop.

Without doubt many players will remain confused about it or ask for a continuation. Although this game is short I must admit I'm satisfied with Azure. It's certainly one of the very few projects I actually concluded lol.

Oh well, I should seriously start looking for a proof reader. Have a nice day!

Working on a KN 2

   I'm back again! I didn't expect to update this blog so soon.

   I used Ren'py a few days before to finally set up Azure but... it could be due to me being away from programming for so long or the new version complicated to look at ( mind you it took me years to get used to Ren'py ) in the end I eventually went for Cloudnovel. 

   

   With this I have no idea if I will be investing money for the download option ( they implemented one last year or so ) then re-upload it on itch.io or just leave the game free. 

   If I do however, you'd have to sign in to the site to play it. Due to Cloudnovel's game publishing regulation I have to put on mature filter. Which means signing in will be the only way to play it.  

   I'm more interested in having people download my game then play it rather than signing in first then playing it however.

   

    In other words I am considering paying for the download. I don't mind it really but I don't know if I stashed enough savings to afford me this process. 

    Regarding the second volume... Have to revise it again then find someone who can proofread it for free but also give me a feedback of the content.

    

  

 

Sorry!

Hi everyone! I'm sorry for the lack of update! 

I'm very busy at school with my my final exams for this year and all piling up. I'm still working on Conspiracy whenever I can though. In fact I'm proud to say Riko's new base sprite version is finally reaching its finishing touches with the coloring.
I've already prepared Yuu's flat colors as well while Katsuo's on standby, ready for the lineart. I admit I kind of neglected copying the proof-read script. I'm too focused on my personal problems too.

I'll make up for the game art after school ends as I await my ill fate. There's a 50.5% chance that I may stop being a VN creator or player around next year for personal reasons. I won't be posting the details about it here though since this is now solely a game development blog. In addition, I love my privacy.

Changing topic, I might partecipate at Yaoi Jam this year! There's this dark short game which has been bugging me since last year. It could even be a 16+ game for its possible contents. No nsfw scenes although there could be some allusion to it but I won't be putting those. I'm thinking of giving more importance to the psychological aspect of the game rather than the characters' physical relationship. Plus, I'm still not good with drawing nor writing those scenes despite my deep love for BL manga, literature and games.

As for that short KN I finished writing, turns out I will be using Cloud Novel for it. It will have only one soundtrack and some CGs. No sprite though. Depending on the feedback I might make a second part or episode for it which more or less explains the story. The latter will be difficult for neither I myself understand what that story is all about. I'm so ashamed of myself.

This is the longest post I've written after a long time.

Take care everyone!

Contemplating....14

With the termination of my short second visual novel I am currently at loss.
I know I should stop playing around the bush with Conspiracy's script and work on it yet at the same time I can't bring myself to write with the same mood I used to be in when I started this otome project. Not to mention my currently undergoing problem with the art programs. Sigh...
Despite all these I want to bring life to all my archived ideas and projects so people who enjoy VNs like I do may play it.
Honestly if it weren't for the VN world I don't think I would be facing each day like I am doing now. It saved me from further sinking in the void and partially filled my empty heart. - whoops serious mode on - 
Anyway, I think I'll start with finishing the script and move further on art side for a "possibly" new work in progress visual novel project which will run alongside Conspiracy. Once the script is done I'll start opening a thread, I'm still undecided whether to use Cloudnovel or Ren'py for it though.
Right now I'm at a point in my life where I'm starting to be surrounded by real life dilemmas and I can't seem to avoid my responsibilities anymore. Becoming an adult sure is tough... That's all for today's post. (•‿•)

Before the Tale

I'm happy to announce that Before the Tale is finally playable! 

This was suppose to be an entry for Cloud Novel's Summer Jam which eventually became a trial project as well. A psychological horror, it's a short kinectic novel told by Baron Claude Fortier before meeting Eloise Rimmer. Please let me hear your thoughts!

You can play the game by visiting the Games' section page!

Before the Tale News

   My suppose to be "short summer project" is about to come to an end. I can't fully assure its content being "frightful" although it is suppose to be a psychological horror.
If I don't laze around on making the backgrounds and CGs I will be done in a few days depending on how much work both sides take.
   With a hopeful positive outcome of my first Cloudnovel project I can't wait to start making other short games or perhaps even episodic visual novels which backgrounds I luckily won't be working on - phew!- I'm however satisfied with my attempt since I got to put on use once again my basic knowledge of prospective which I learned more or less 4 years ago.
    Anyway with the same engine I'm thinking of giving life to another short visual novel which has been bugging me since last year. I'll fill you guys in more in the future if I have the chance! ♡〜٩( ˃́▿˂̀ )۶〜♡

Haloa There!

   Weird expression check!

    Right now I'm taking a break from Before the Tale. I can't believe half of July's week went by already and only one and a half left for me to work on the rest of the game. Ha! Unsurprisingly I stopped Conspiracy's script only because Mizuno's route complicated all episodes' structure (more or less) but overall I'm quite near the end of the light.
     Summer days are reaching over 30°c and I can barely sleep because of the warm nights. My daydream tells me Winter's cousin is paying the world a rather close up visit.
     I'd like to write more but my impending melancholy is getting the best of me yet again. This is one of those perfect moments to write melos and sad stories...
   

Horror Story (Maybe?)

     I'm working on a project for a summer "horror" themed event on Cloudnovel, a new online visual novel engine which is still on beta. Differently from Ren'Py,which you can download and work even without internet, CloudNovel is easy to use but works online. So far I'm getting the hang of it.

     The project I came up with is suppose to be a "prequel" to the actual game I had in mind, which is a 19th century psychological horror centering around a young middle class girl who marries a handsome Baron living in their small town. This summer project is told from the Baron's point of view which reveals the events that lead him to commit such actions. In other words I'm writing from a psychopath's perspective. Oops... (●__●)
      Problem is, the way he narrates throughout the whole game creeps the hell out of me (he uses so many adjectives) and seems like there is no proper timeline in the story. More than explaining the whole of it, he limits to remember what seems convenient for him and I'm hating it! -Says the one making the game- 
      Rather than a horror genre it's becoming something different from what I hand in mind... On the other hand every project I plan always end up being entirely different.
