First off all Thank u for Developing this Game, i haven’t been this excited for an Visual Novel in a Long Long Time <33. I get so exited when u post any kind of update or Content about the Game :,).
Anyways…
My Question would be if you have any plans of having a Kickstarter, or receiving any kind of financial support in the future?!.
So much Love and Good Luck on this Amazing Project!!
-R 💋
Hi R!
Oh wow, thank you so much for the kind words, it really means a lot to me!! I'm happy that you liked my little idea this much! I'm so sorry that I barely update, I have a lot on my plate currently and I've never developed a game before so... I definitely jumped off the deep end without any prep haha... I can only hope you guys have the patience to stick with me ;-;
All I can say is that I'm the type of person who'll definitely finish something once I start it so I can guarantee I won't ever drop the game fully, but it'll be a bit slow-going.
I would love to do something like a kickstarter or patreon in the future, but for now I definitely don't have enough content ready to make it viable. I think once my life becomes more stable, I can carve a good chunk of time towards the game!
I think I could make a ko-fi account though, if people are interested in supporting! Maybe even make it a little commission thing where I draw a sketch a requested character or a drabble or something for a kofi or two. Let me know if anyone's interested in this kinda thing, or what you'd like to see!
Sorry for the late response, thought it was a good chance for an example. Just a thank you really, for your support!
Thank you for the ask! Any questions are welcome and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able!

This isn't an ask but I love how you assign different flowers for each character! My personal fav is Lucien with the "forever mine" red salvia, really great symbolism for his obsession with the MC!
My first "ask"! Thank you for sharing your thoughts anon!
I'm not sure how or why I decided to add in flower symbolism into the mix but I'm glad I did. I pick flowers based on a mix of their symbolism, language and just general vibes really. I didn't immediately share the meanings in case anyone liked digging around for info themselves, like I do lol, but I think this is a good time to share my thoughts because I just really like to share any cool info I find and use haha
You're spot on with Lucien's flower, the Red Salvia just seemed like the perfect fit for his character and his relationship with the MC! But I also wanted to note that the meanings for the other colors of Salvia do fit in with his character too!
Most of the excerpts I put in this post will be from the site The Petal Republic, I really enjoy reading the symbolism and meaning sections of the individual flower pages, check it out if you'd like! It's my main site for picking flowers for their meanings (but not always)
The red blooming Salvia flower is traditionally associated with love and romance and is symbolic of “Forever mine” gestures.
Purple is a very regal color, synonymous with royalty, success, and good standing.
The pink petals of a flower Salvia plant in the language of flowers are symbolic of love, femininity, gentleness
The blue flowers of a Salvia are often aligned with friendship and family and symbolic of thoughtful gestures such as sentiments of “missing you” or “thinking of you”.
All these aspects tie into his character one way or the other! You'll see more of it as the story unfolds.
[Also a little sidenote, I used it to make the little logo for the game too which you can see in the top left of the character bio pages, mixed with another symbol. I may have stuffed a lot of obscure meaning into small things lmao its a trend with me]
Conversely, I picked both Laplace's and Stuart's flowers mainly for their "negative" meanings, but the positives can fit them too.
Candytuft for Laplace because it can mean indifference, which is Laplace's default state. Other symbolic meanings of the candytuft include sweetness and stoic beauty. Also they're often depicted with/compared to fairies, and depending on who you ask fae and daemon can have a lot of similarities.... also why they are tiny at 4'9" lmao. And the appearance also just fits somehow.
I picked Begonia for Stuart, on the basis of "other meanings" section which somehow perfectly translated his role in the story, it's kinda crazy how it all fits.
Warnings of misfortune: Traditionally, a begonia flower stood for an omen of something sinister in the near future. Most people don’t subscribe to this meaning today, but it is the reason why begonias are still so popular as gifts in hospitals.
Caution: In some cultures, begonias are used to symbolize vigilance. You can give a begonia (of any color) to someone as a way of telling them to take care and stay healthy.
Harmony: Another typical meaning of the begonia flower is harmonious communication. They symbolize diplomacy, kindness, and peaceful transactions between individuals or businesses.
If you read till here, wow! Thank you for sticking to the end and reading my rambles, I appreciate it! Feel free to just share your thoughts and opinions too if not any asks! Always welcome
Hiya! :-D I've been meaning to reach out w some questions and finally decided to commit!!! ;v;
Idk if it's stated anywhere, but I'm curious what inspired the concept of the game? And what made you choose Lucien as his name bc it fits him so well <3
I'm also really curious abt the original plot of Rosalind's Lie, how much of in-game lore do we get to see? Or is it only mentioned in passing here and there? Just the idea of a game's storyline (RL) inside another game's storyline (IITAOAYD) intrigues me a lot
Sorry for the long ask ;v;!
Hii!! Thanks so much for reaching out! If you think your ask is long then wait till you read this answer haha... But on that note it's totally fine, I absolutely love reading any and all ramblings because I'm a rambler myself (it's the adhd) and like to consume new knowledge, even if I can't actually retain all of it :') (btw I love Mychael and can't wait to see what you do with the rest of the game aaa)
Honestly, the idea just kinda came out of nowhere one day (my brain does that) because of the recent(?) boom in yandere games, I was thinking what kind of yandere I might make and just thought of a concept where mc might be isekai'd into the yan's garden and he kind of immediately gets attached because they're 'untainted' by the world and other people and wants to keep it that way.
I should mention that I'm a fan of isekai genre in general because it's such a self-indulgent escape from our boring mundane lives, a kind of fresh start that a lot of people wish they had access to. Ironically though, I prefer the isekais that are more focused on living a new life as opposed to getting op powers and making waves in the world
Back to the topic, didn't really think too seriously on it till I saw the yanjam announcement and decided why not. Then I decided to add the reincarnation/otome isekai tropes into the mix to make it more interesting, except that mc is themselves and not another character.
So stories like "My next life as a Villainess: All roads lead to doom!" and "Death is the only ending for the Villainess" (I promise it's two different things) come to mind for inspirations.
The game will lightly parody these popular tropes, which is why if Lucien looks like every other 'Duke of the North' with his red eyes and black hair(but less buff as I'd like because drawing men is an ongoing struggle for me) then it's on purpose.
His name....... well it's honestly embarrassing but it really just comes from angel/demon inspo while talking it out with a friend, since Dukes are mostly portrayed as 'monsters' in comparison to the angelic Prince or so, when in reality it's the other way around. So its kinda like Lucifer...Lucien... yeah, not very creative but I also wanted a name that could be turned into a cute nickname(Lucy) so I decided to roll with it.
Since I gave such a specific name like "Rosalind's Lie" for the og game, I do intend to flesh out the story at some point, though for now I only have rough concepts because I'm terrible at planning lore I'm so sorry. But that somehow didn't stop me from being ambitious with it because I'm weird like that.
Anyways, Rosalind's Lie is named so because the titular character Rosalind kicks off her relationships with the eligible bachelors through lies. As for why, it's because she was born in the slums and orphaned at a young age, and had only herself to rely on to survive. Thanks to that she's very street-smart and cunning, and by chance she caught the attention of a kind Baron who decides to adopt her. He was nice enough, but not very smart or ambitious, which she felt was a waste, so she decides to make her own fortune in life and marry rich - she's really more like a villainess than a heroine lol but basically she encapsulates both roles.
Her "lie" in Lucien's route is basically her nicking his brooch during a ball and pretending she found it and returns it to him, which prompts him to invite her for lunch or something as thanks. And then she plans various other small schemes because he's notoriously hard to get a hold of but eventually starts liking him for real.
I'm actually not sure how much of the og lore I'll involve in yanduke, other than mc occasionally making some callbacks when they're reminded of something, because mc is isekai'd before the plot of the game starts this time, which is ofc heavily derailed and non-existent by then thanks to our yan.
Sorry for the late reply, I actually had to knock around the old noggin to articulate an answer, but again, questions like these are always welcome because it actually helps me formulate some plot points too!
Hello Yanny, I found your game and I loved it. Otome stories are so good so that fact that I could play one is so cool. I wanted to ask:
How much autonomy do we have? By that I mean how much can we influence the Mc. Like can Mc want to stay there or does Mc have to feel the need to go back.
Personally I like my first run through of games to be completely blind and pick what I want. That is usually me catering towards the yandere and being very happy to stay with them. That's why I wanted to know if I can my Mc cool off the bat and not super worried on getting back home.
I understand if that is something you can't do since it's a lot of work. I just hope there is an option on how we make the Mc feel about trying to get back home even if it's something like panicked Mc vs calm and calculating Mc on how they'll get back home.
Btw he is extremely cute.
Hi whispereons! I'm really glad you seemed to enjoy the demo, and Lucien!
The plan is definitely for players to have some autonomy over mc, I certainly hope it comes off like that too in the final product. Both choosing to stay or leave will definitely be amongst options and endings players can pursue! And various others where you can do routes of other characters(not strictly romantic, depends). I'll also definitely try to put a variety of ways MC can react to certain situations.
But to be fully transparent, at the moment I do have something of a "true route" planned where MCs will have to pick specific options to achieve that particular ending because ultimately MC is also a "character" I've created. So this is just a heads-up since it might mess with some people's characterizations of their MC, but hopefully the hints I place along the way will make sense. For spoiler reasons I can't specify much more. Of course, it's not necessary to do the true route, I just really wanted to make one haha.
Also as a personal note, I enjoy picking options that make characters happy too, regardless of rights or wrongs. My page is called Self-Indulgent Fiction for a reason!!
I have a question about the game 'Isekai'd into the arms of a Yandere Duke'. Is Lucien going to be the only love interest? Or are Laplace and Stuart going to be obtainable, too?
For the time being, I've only really planned for Lucien to be a love interest in yanduke.
There will be other 'routes' that focus on characters other than Lucien, but whether they will be romanceable or not is kinda up in the air for now. Even if I do, there's a good chance it might go in a "sike! Lucien was only ever the real option for you" direction because well, he IS a yandere in a yandere vn.
