Träumendes Mädchen

You can't save him.

...But what if you could see him again?

Unquiet Grey, my heartbreaking timeloop romance visual novel, is now released on Steam!

You wake up by the side of the road with a headache and a stranger's jacket.

You don’t recognise it. You don’t recognise the man whose ID you find in the pocket, either. 

So why does an older version of you stare back when you turn on his phone?

...And why is she smiling beside him?

It features:

A heartbreaking tale of love and grief

Gorgeous art by @asrikins

Original Soundtrack

A silver-haired sweetheart to love over and over and over. Ɏꝋᵾ ȼⱥꞥ'ⱦ ꞩⱥꝟē ħīᵯ. Ƀᵾⱦ ⱦħⱥⱦ'ꞩ ꝋҟⱥɏ.

A cute doggo

You can change both characters' names if u want

Also it's free!!!!!

Wanna take a lookey-lookey-look at our new route selection screen? 💜✨ Because IT WORKS!!

I love using the way each line displays to add to the story telling ldlfkjdlsggf

this one is fun btw... the code here makes it so that the line swaps itself out with the later line and deletes the previous one from the history so theres no duplicates and it looks like that was ALWAYS what was said

I use the extend a lot too and im sorry that it throws ppl off bc i do notice ppl kinda fumble with it when they click and its more text displaying onto that line but i really like how it looks when you have to click through for emphasis

Expectations vs. Reality

Expectations 🤠🐎🌵 A grand Western adventure with your friends!

You wake up as a ghost, with no memory of who you were or how you died. The only clue to your past is the empty suit of armour you now possess.

As you explore an abandoned castle and piece together your memories, you’ll uncover your tale: A tale of broken promises, regret, and bonds that last beyond death.

But your story doesn’t have to die with you...

The Last Winter Knight is available now on Steam!

Hello, all! I am currently gauging interest for a potential Steam festival this fall for games from devs on the asexual spectrum and games that feature characters on the ace spectrum! Please fill out this form if you have a game that applies and would be interested!

Games from devs on the asexual spectrum

Games with (confirmed) characters on the asexual spectrum

Games with asexuality as a core theme or major topic

So I'm doing this thing, whenever I get to complete a task, I write it down to track all that I've done so far. Partly because this encourages me to continue. Let's see May's progress regarding Infurubia:

Completed 5 sketched/part-lined CGs and all their variations I had since 2019-2020? From now on, it's all new CGs that need to be done

Coded the start of chapter 5(and regretted not optimizing the script beforehand...)

New backgrounds! There might be a bunch of variations, but these backgrounds will be used in what remains of the story. So far, one new sketch is done.

Back then, I considered commissioning some of these BGs as they contained house interiors etc, but I purchased ClipStudio, and their 3D tool is very helpful, even if I don't understand it completely yet, I think I can pull these myself.

Get to work on the next set of CGs, and pondering about the amount of them. I think it would be opportune to just code sprite art and use bunch of descriptions to avoid CG abuse(As long as it doesn't lead to drawing tons of sprite variations...)

Some previews

Also, it means I will be able to use this one finally(Now that I look this design better, I think the dark burgundy cape needs to be lighter...)

Tumblr Devlog 21/06

Progress:

So Everett's route is done now and I went through Zen's outline to flesh it out and clean it up because I decided I was going to do his route next. 

And I started working on Zen's route though I'm still in chapter one.

The word count of Thornewood right now is just over 520,000 words at the moment. I'd like to say this at least half written but realistically it can't possibly be half written because there are now 8 LIs and I've just started #4. 

So.

ANYWAY. I am still slowly acquiring art and I'm doing a lot of writing. And doing art as well...here and there - Mostly sprite variations and stuff.

Of course, the UI and stuff is already coded though I keep running into little bugs here and there as you do.

Here is a little look at the character creator just running through the options the game has. The sprite bodies work basically the same way as Thornewood though I'm not doing the colour slider this time for recolouring due to certain limitations with it.

As you can see there are some minor clothing differences across the bodies - like with all my games the MC will have a variety of outfits and most likely the outfits will stay largely similar across the bodies. I cannot guarantee that will be the case. 

For instance, there is a formal party the MC attends - in a pseudo-Victorian setting that would normally mean a difference in attire and I'm not totally sure how I will handle that yet. But this gives you a rough idea.

You do get the option later to cut Valerian's hair shorter - above the shoulder. I may show how that looks at some point later on. Valerian's hair length changes a lot due to their magic but if you choose to play with short hair, regardless of when their magic causes their hair to grow, they will always trim it back to above their shoulders.

Otherwise they trim it back to that waist-length braid.

Like in WSC you cannot change the MC's last name. Their name is based off the scientific name for lamb's lettuce (valeriana locusta) and this is something several characters point out (and also is a callback to their inspiration of Rapunzel) so at least part of the name has to remain static.

Like WSC you can pick body, pronouns, and other terms independently of each other. Overall the customisation is somewhat of a blend of Gilded Shadows and When Stars Collide.

Hair colours, this time around, I kind of went a little nonstandard with the steel-grey and rose-red but it just kind of felt appropriate somehow but I did put some typical colours in as well - the blonde, brown, and black. So I think it balances out.

Next Couple of Weeks Development-wise:

I've started Zen's route of course and that will be my primary focus. Anything else I work on - art, coding, etc - is kind of extra at this point.

I can't remember if I've talked about the demo release here. I think I have but if I haven't...

The demo can't release until I have the remaining BG art and there are still quite a few so I can't imagine the demo going out before September at the earliest. 

I may release a non-playable teaser of the prologue (a video basically) before the full demo goes out. We'll see.

For now the game is in development limbo but I shall be continuing to update you on progress. 

A little WSC update:

If you have been waiting for WSC to appear on Steam, please just know that Valve's review team is working very hard to ensure that WSC will not overly shock or harm anyone with its semi-explicit content and implied nudity.

Between allowing games where the goal is to use mind powers to manipulate women into sex, and games where you can brutally murder people (or be brutally murdered on screen with blood everywhere!), they are truly hard at work to make sure that visual novels with minor references to alcohol and those pesky love scenes don't sneak past with multiple full reviews that require us to submit and re-submit builds that allow them to check every little thing including content that doesn't have any sexually charged moments at all!

Admirable. (oﾟvﾟ)ノ

For the non-sarcastic version - we're just trying to get through the steam review and keep hitting roadblocks regarding the mature content. As per usual.

Olga Doesn't Die, our latest historical yuri visual novel, will be released on Steam Q3 2026.

The imperial family's advisor is a witch, a hag, the devil in disguise.

At the turn of the 20th century, unrest stirs in the far-north Empire of Muscovy over bread and war, taxation and tyranny. The shadows whisper about the imperial family and about an immortal witch. They whisper, "The imperial family's advisor is a witch. An old hag with a head full of white hairs. She knows magic like demons. The devil in disguise, tricking the emperor with her dark arts." As the "witch" is violently exiled from the capital, the gears of revolution continue to turn toward blood.

A quick introduction to the game I'm working on for Toxic Yuri VN Jam 2! Please look forward to this yurige about a serial killer and a woman who is somehow more problematic.

these screenshots r fake don't look too closely at them LFALSDF
