Hello folks, just wanted to give y'all a heads up on the current status of the Temptation's Ballad build. The current bottleneck is the 15 CGs + variants that I'm working on for the next sequence. Apologies for how slow things have been lately, this current section of Temptation's Ballad's story is very art-dense and is taking more time than I anticipated ;w;(Preview of the current WIPs) - EXTREMELY SPOILER HEAVY, PEAK AT YOUR OWN RISKWriting is going fairly well, I'm estimating the update to hover around 8,000 words. Be...
Bonus Art: Adventuring Party Benefits
Cole personally ensures that all his party members have a high job satisfaction rating~Except for Artemi. He just throws snacks in her general direction instead.
Bonus Art: Under Clyde's Desk

Updated Socials + Discord Links
Heyo folks! I figured I'd make a pinned post with all of my current socials and places I'm active so that it's easier to find me outside of Patreon. It's been harder to stay connected with folks due to how scattered the community is these days, so hopefully y'all find this helpful.The invite link for the Patreon-exclusive Discord will be at the bottom of the post (visible onto to supporting members). You do not need to stay subscribed to retain access to the Discord server, I will simply verify that you've supported the ...
Bonus Animation: Subway Ride with Owen

Edit (8/02/2025): Added some WIP lore notes and another version of Cole's outfit concepts.I'm planning on giving the yeen family some outfit changes after a certain story turning point. Doodling out some ideas here (and also making a new ref for Cole since his old sprites are kinda outdated lol)
Bonus Art: Beach Time with Samuel
I've recently developed a newfound thirst for our favorite Repeat butler. A shame that I couldn't find a way to squeeze a sex scene with himI've recently developed a newfound thirst for our favorite Repeat butler. A shame that I couldn't find a way to squeeze a sex scene with him into the VN without distracting from the story. I guess Samuel can distract us in other ways outside of canon~ uwu

Announcement: NSFW Art Prints will be leaving my Etsy Store on June 30th
Hey folks! I'm back from my long trip and am currently hunkering down to try and get the next Temptation's Ballad ready, hopefully sometime next week! In the meantime, I have a small announcement involving my merch store.Etsy has gotten more and more strict with their NSFW policies lately and have sent my store multiple warnings. To air on the safe side and avoid suspension, I will be moving all NSFW art prints out of my Etsy store (etsy.com/shop/shirokoi) at the end of the month on June 30th.Worry not, all my NSFW prints will remain av...
Quick Devblog - 5/30/2025
Hey guys, so here's the situation right now: Right after I returned from FWA, my family sprung sudden travel plans on me to travel to China between June 4th - 16th because my grandparents' health is failing and we decided we should spend time with them while we still could. It was a little sudden and along with other abrupt family obligations, it kinda threw my work schedule into freefall. That, along with the time spent at FWA (which I don't regret, I have a lovely time meeting some of y'all there!) has really cut into the time...
Devblog - 5/24/2025
Hello folks! Just giving y'all a heads up on how development is going so far and what you can expect for the next update.

Bonus Animation - Cole Caught by Tentacles~
Edit: This bonus art post is now open for public viewing! (05/17/2025) Figured I'd let folks see more of my recent animation experiments :3Whoops, looks like Cole wandered into the woods behind Rotten Redd's Alley and got caught by one of the district's devious creatures. It doesn't look like him minds, though~
Bonus Animation: Ready for Breakfast~
(HD Video Mirror)Made a little precursor to some of the earlier animations with Sissel and Euca~ Somewhere in the background, Hershel is burying his face in his hands and crying.I'm slowly getting better at animating with Moho Pro, but that fucking tongue animation alone took like 5 hours asdjkhfalskjdhfljkashdlfkja
Bonus Art: Kitchen Spread
You walk into the kitchen and see this cheeky fucker lounging on the breakfast table. What do you do? >:3
Temptation's Ballad: Hotfix 0.2.5.6 (April 15th, 2025)
EDIT: Patreon broke all the links after I posted. They should be fixed now! qwq/Hello folks! Here to drop off a Temptation's Ballad hotfix with a lot of QOL fixes for minor errors that have stuck in the VN. The biggest fix is for the bug where character sprite animations could get interrupted by the reader skipping dialogue or clicking too quickly, resulting in situations like Artemi ascending into the skybox or Sidd planking horizontally for the rest of the scene.There's also a lot of back-end cleanup in the code for loads of miscellan...
Bonus Animation: Breakfast Shenanigans
(HD Video Mirror)Edit: God damn it, Patreon broke the GIF preview. Apparently it's too big for the site. Gimme a sec while I try and fix it ;w;Edit 2: Patreon still doesn't let NSFW accounts upload videos, so I gotta continue uploading crunchy GIFs as previews sadly. Make sure to click on the video mirror for a better viewing experience! QWQIt's been a while since I've made an animation for y'all, so here's Euca and Sissel working together to slowly drive poor Hershel insane~ uwuI recently switched from Spine2D to Moho P...
Bonus Art: Under the Breakfast Table
Euca and Sissel can't keep their hands off each other most of the time, even around Hershel, and it leads to some stealthy shenanigans around the apartment~

Devblog 3/7/2025
Hello guys! Sorry for another devblog post, but I figured I should let you all know what's going on. The update may take a little longer than anticipated, sorry for the delay again.

Devblog + Personal Update 2/25/2025
Hello everyone, I hope this year has been treating you well! Here's a devblog on how the current Temptation's Ballad build is going, but first I'd like to make a quick update on my personal life.Personal Life Update:I've been struggling with ADHD for the better part of 5 years now, though I've never been formally diagnosed until recently. At first the symptoms were fairly mild and I thought I would be able to keep it in check with the usual methods. You know, reduce screen time, block all distractions during work hours, the ...
