Devlog: June Report (2022)
Hey guys, I'm back with a short report on what's new with the project.Long story short, while the main focus of the upcoming update is a continuation of Rowley's story, I couldn't help it, but to go back and rework a few things in Kegar's last update.The thing is, while at first I was very happy with the initial version, as some time passed and I realized that there was something missing in the romance scene.And so, after a few days of bouncing back and forth of changing the script and doing all sorts of playtests, I'm h...
I'm on vacation
Hey patrons!I just wanted to let you know that I'm on a break from making the game till the end of this month.Originally, I planned a new Rowley's update for the beginning of June, but it turned out that I ~REALLY~ needed an extended break from the game development (and to sort some of the other IRL stuff). The weather is great here, so just like in the illustration below, I'm taking my sweet time sunbathing and trying not to think too much about things :-)Because of that, obviously, I won't have a new build ready for this month...

Devlog: April Report (2022)
Hello, everyone!Just wanted to let you know that I'm still working hard on the next update (v.0.20.0, Rowley Day4, part1).At the moment I'm writing this post, I'm finalizing the script for the last scene of this new segment. Then, I will have to code it in and do the usual edits/playtests. Because the scene is not that complicated (it's mostly dialogue), it shouldn't be much of a problem to get it done in time. A quick side note, this new part hasn't been proofread by my usual team, so expect some grammar errors here and...
Poll: The Next Update (Results)
Hey everyone! The poll results are here!Just a quick reminder: Tier3 patrons were voting between 24th - 31th of March for who will be featured in the next update (or a series of updates), and in the fight between Angus and Rowley the winner is:*drum rolls*...Rowley, who gathered 59% of the votes!So, there we have it! Thank you everyone who participated. I will be aiming to release this new demo by the end of this month. After that, depending on the progress, I will either continue Rowley's story for one more update or go back to Angus's...

Devlog: March Report (2022)
Hey guys, it's been a while!First thing first, I'm sorry for such a long delay. When I was writing my last post back in February, I was certain that even in the worst case scenario, I will be able to release the new build around 3rd, maybe 4th March max.Unfortunately, it didn't happen, and the reason behind such a big delay is, as you can probably already guess, the current situation in Europe.I have to clarify right away - while I wasn't directly affected by the Russian invasion, as a resident of Poland (which borders both Ukra...
Devlog: February Report (2022)
Hey guys!Just wanted to write a short report and let you all know that I'm still working hard on the next build, and there's a chance that I ~might~ not be able to deliver it by the end of this month.A quick reminder: this demo was supposed to be a short follow-up to Kegar's last update, in which we will finally get more intimate with him.Now, the problem is that while I've already reached the planned script length, I still haven't finished writing that last crucial part. To make things worse I'm actually kinda stuck on ...

Devlog: January Report (2022)
Hey guys, it's time for a monthly game development report!A quick refresher: I'm currently working on Kegar's update (part 4). Making progressThe work goes smoothly - I've already finished writing this new part of the story around Thursday, and now it's all about coding it in (at the moment I'm writing this devlog I'm already halfway through with it). Because this time the story takes place in a new section of the town, I also had to do some serious digging through my old photos to find something that I could use as ...

Patreon Build v.0.17.1 (Graphic update)
Hey guys! A new update (v.0.17.1) is here!This version of the game is a graphic update - the character sprites of the main trio got reworked, and so, we can finally say goodbye to the pixelart-style. This update also brings 4 missing CGs (one for Kegar, one for Arthur and two for Rowley).It was a looong month - honestly, I don't remember the last time I drew so much. It was fun though, and I'm glad I could take a break from writing. I have to say, I'm very happy with the results - especially Kegar's and Arthur's new CGs. I h...

May it bring you joy, happiness and everything else you deserve!At the same time, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your enduring support!

Devlog: December Report (2021)
Happy Holidays, everyone!In today's devlog I would like to share a preview of the upcoming build, which, surprise surprise, will be a graphic update actually! Character portraitsWhile I'm slowly working on Kegar's next part of the story, I decide that it's high time to finally unveil my plan of updating the character portraits, just like I was teasing back in March (whoa, it's been a while). A quick refresher: the idea was to implement a FXAA (fast approximate anti-aliasing), which will smoothen jagged edges of the hard-pixe...

Important: I'm now charging patrons up front
Hey guys!Just wanted to leave a short notice - starting today, I finally decided to turn on the option to charge new patrons up-front. The reason behind it is, of course, to stop random users from sampling the content and exiting without getting charged on the end of the month.At the same time, I'm aware that there were some users who genuinely wanted to support the project by making a one-time pledge, but they didn't know that they quitted before getting charged - I hope this change will make things better for both sides.So, long story...
Patreon Build v.0.17.0 (Kegar update)
Hey patrons!A new update (v.0.17.0) is here, just as planned!This version of the game finally continues Kegar's story.A quick note: this month I had to proofread on my own, so expect a few typos or some weird phrasing here and there - all of that will get fixed in near future (depend on the scope, I'll either re-upload the game as v.0.17.1 or keep these changes for v.0.18.0).A quick note, the sequel: the in-game credits page will also get an update next month.What's new: Kegar's route update (part3)Download (One Drive): After Ye...
Devlog: November Report (2021)
Hi guys!Slowly but surely we're getting to the end of the month, and so, I'm writing a new report to happily announce that the next build should be available in only a few days (somewhere around 29th).A quick refresher: I'm currently working on Kegar's update (v.0.17.0), and funny to think about it, I actually haven't worked on his story for an entire year (the last Kegar's patreon update (part2) got released 31th october 2020).Luckily, this month I didn't have much problem hopping into the story, but despite having ...
2021.11 - Bonus Content

Welkin lineart (extra content)Please enjoy and thank you for your support!
Survey Results
Hey, guys!Back in June I posted a survey related to the game to find out what the audience thinks of the project so far. And I have to say, I'm both surprised and very happy with the results. To this day, 381 readers decided to share their feedback. Thank you very much for your time, everyone!Now, without further ado, let's dig the data~ I'm happy to know that the majority of readers either enjoy the game for what it is, or don't find anything too glaring about it. 3,4% (13 votes) of the players rated it to be just okay, and one...

Hello guys, It's been a while!It's time for some good news, and the good news is that the next demo is just around the corner!Long story short, the progress is going smoothly, and I'm confident that I will be able to finish everything I have planned before the end of the month.

Devlog: September Report (2021)
Hey guys! Sorry for such a late report.The thing is, I don't have much to show this time - after working myself to the bone for the last three months I decided to take a longer break to relax and make good use of the last warm days of Summer.Sadly, I don't have even a proper WiP build to show to you this time, and since the upcoming Rowley update is supposed to be the one of most important ones, I don't want to rush things.Because of this, I won't be charging you for this month.Once I get back to writing, I'll advertise the ...
