Happy March! Hope you're all excited to welcome spring! Lowkey burned myself out last month from day job shenanigans and trying to do a lot of things, so my plan this month is to relax after releasing Froot Basket: Dark Chocolate's update. My birthday's this month anyway too, so I'm gonna take it easy haha.

Cover Story Preview | Kiki's Sakura Date
Kiki meets up with a friend in Tokyo to see some sakura blossoms and have a nice picnic!
March OC Birthdays
Kiki's birthday is on March 15! But I'll be releasing FBDC that day and she's already the Cover Model, so we're already celebrating her this month.
VN Development Update | FBDC Voiced Update Releases this month!
Other than partial voice-acting, it'll have some new CGs for you to collect! I hope you'll enjoy it! On release day I'll also publish a changelog.
Other Goals this Month
Wrapping up a zine project and still working on commissions, but I'd like to relax. Chill. Catch up on some manga or tv shows or something. Maybe finally finish Baldur's Gate 3.
I'll drop some "Kaimanga" stuff I've been working on. I'm considering developing Fleeting and drawing the Kaimana comic at the same time since both projects are related to each other... In any case, it'll be a fun space adventure!
Next Month
I'll pick up development on Froot Basket White next month. Froot Basket White is the third and final chapter in Momo's story. It takes place after Froot Basket Valentine and players will assume the role of Jordan once again. I had worked on some assets for it previously, but I'd like the script to be more solid before I start working on more assets again. Here's some of what I'd worked on before:
April 1st is Satoru's bday, but the Monthly will still drop on that date! We'll celebrate Satoru some time later.

I’m new to coding so it’s taking some time, but I finally figured out how to put in an option to let you play as nonbinary. You can also enter your own pronouns! Hopefully it won’t break!
Oh jeez, with everything that went on last week I realized I forgot to post my weekly update. I hope you all are doing well and staying safe! For now, we are still on schedule to start our Kickstarter on 4/15/20. We will of course let you know if there are any changes.
This week I have been working on the draft for the kickstarter page. First, here’s the breakdown of how our funding will be spent:
As you can see, most of the initial funding will go to our voice acting. Our team will be funding out of pocket for any additional assets such as music and backgrounds. Our first stretch goal will allow us to free up more time to work on the game, including adding more content. However, I’ll talk more about that at the end of the week.
Mainly this week, I wanted to focus on creating and organizing the reward tiers. The best part about the solar system is that there is an abundance of possible characters! Our highest tiers will allow you to do everything from designing your own outer planet (with the help of our artists) to supervising the new Black Hole route!
Along with that we will have a variety of merchandise with each reward as well, both digital and physical.
Speaking of the Black Hole route, I figured I’d show off a preview of his sprite which I worked on last week.
Hope you like him! We’ll be giving more information about his character soon :D
I’ll have more for all of you this coming Saturday. And thanks again for your continued support!
Since summer has hit, we have been making progress! Coding has progressed, music is being collected and the game is nearing a stage where a part of it could be released... which, brings us to our first point.
While in production, the game was divided into 4 “Episodes”, which each consist of a main event. These episodes take place in chronological order, and at our current stage, we are about nearing completion for Episode 1, so it’s nowhere near full completion. So we've all been debating releasing it in parts, similar to an "Episode 1", "Episode 2", etc, format. While our original plan was to release it as a full game, we proposed this alternative in order to bring you guys parts of the game, quicker. Since you guys are going to be the players, we wanted to ask you guys for your opinions in relation to our release schedule. Please fill out this Google Form to vote for which option you would like better. The form contains more information regarding the two options as well, so we would greatly appreciate you guys checking it out!
And, on to our next point... Unsurprisingly, the Dev team is having trouble coming up with an apt title for our game! So, we decided that we would ask for some suggestions from you guys, who have been following us along the way! Please fill out this form to submit a game title to us! If chosen, we will credit you for the title.
If you need any assistance with the forms or have any questions, always feel free to shoot the Dev team an ask here!
Starting Monday, February 5th, we'll be running a focused technical beta test on our revamp of the Coliseum. We'd love you to participate! Click the link below to find out more.

HE MOVES... it’s kinda janky, but it’ll do. Plus, sorry for the video being bad quality (and wrong aspect ratio... and cropped) but this is just a quick showcase of Black Hat actually moving right and left in AGS 3.
This is barebones of barebones. But first REAL step has been taken.
Check out this video for the latest Dev Update of ‘Iago’, the medieval-themed decision making game I’m working on.
You can see the new scroll movement system I’ve added, allowing the player to manage their virtual workspace. You can also see in action a follow-up event from the first event, and how these events change variables used to determine future events to give the player.
The final Valentines picture is finished, excuse me while I blush my way into the sunset. I had this idea in mind for awhile for Jupiter and Valentines Day gave me an excuse to draw it. Looking up references for this picture was also 'fun'. Is this too risque for tumblr's content standards? I guess we'll see XD
End of the month and that means I'm moving into kickstarter prep! My first goal will be to update all the various emotions of the sprites so that we can not only put them in game but use them for promotional purposes as well. Which means I can post screenshots from the game, hooray!
I just started writing the endings for Venus's routes so his draft will be finished just before the end of the month. Thank you leap year lol. After that it's getting it all cleaned up so it's ready for it's eventual input into the game along with hopefully the voice acting if we hit our kickstarter goal. I initially thought that Venus route wasn't as angsty as I thought it would be but the final act changed that >.>' Hope you will all enjoy it when it comes out!
