Hey guys! I'll get the bad news out of the way up front.  We need a few more days to finish up V0.04, so I'm projecting that around May 10 it will be ready.  I'll be sure to update you on our progress though, as it may be before or slightly after that.  We have to stick to Patreon's procedure of pledges being charged at the beginning of the month, so that means that pledges still have to be in by around April 29 (to be safe) when the paid post goes live.  Pledges will still be charged around May 1. Progress is actually going great, it's just that there are more remaining art assets required than I can accomplish in the remaining days before May 1 (even working 18 hour days).  I'm down to having to finish a couple of sets of sprite animations, a few more maps and random graphics, and from then on out it's basically balancing / filling the maps with items and loot / adding dialog (the framework for the events is already laid out, and the story artwork sce...

Hey everyone! I just finished the latest print design for the upcoming Patreon release in May. For this release I've been working a lot on stepping up the artwork quality by incorporating more environmental lighting (when necessary) and improved shading/ambient shadows while still maintaining the art style we've established for the game.  This latest print shows that off a bit (you can compare it to the earlier version I posted here back in January and see what I mean). Also, in case you haven't been checking out the Tumblr page recently, I've posted a couple of gifs showing off some artwork from V0.04!   Check them out here and here !

Hey everyone!

New story H content A new enemy that is fully H-compatible with both characters A new boss encounter Enemy armor damage Animated battle backgrounds Side-scrolling maps It's been a little while, so I'm sure you all are interested to hear what we've been up to and what's in store, so get ready for one of those lovely wall of text posts! What's new?  So, the public demo was a pretty huge success in that we received a lot of attention as well as an influx of new patrons. So much attention in fact that it completely paralyzed us for a couple of weeks while we re...

I just wanted to stop in and announce that we'll be releasing the first public demo on Valentine's Day (February 14)!  WAIFUS FOR ALL! You'll be able to find the demo right here on this blog, so check for a post on February 14. As mentioned previously, the public demo will feature the Access Tunnels content from V0.03, but with both characters in the party.  All enemies with H skills will be H-compatible with Malise.  In addition, AltairPL's menu overhaul will also be in the demo. In other news, we've been working nonstop (quite literally, 13-19 hour days) on getting content ready for V0.04 to be able to release it as soon as possible.  My apologies for not squeezing in time to make regular update posts these past few weeks, but we do have a lot to show off.  Expect some bigger posts in the coming weeks! - Eromancer
