Did someone say it’s romance day? Here’s another romantic option from our WIP Confectionarius. Meet Kyulin! She’s a elf who likes baking, and… maybe you?
Kyulin l’Tournia (Elf | Recruitable Chef | Romanceable)
Specialty: Fruit
A beginning baker fresh out of culinary school and looking for her first job. Enthusiastic, if not a little short-tempered. She’s new in town, but everyone seems to know her name. Weird.
New visual novel in progress. It’s about running a magical bakery. It’ll be a long time before it’s ready to go, but here’s a character reveal. He seems nice? (He’s not.)
Lythan d’Estourian (Elf | Recruitable Chef | Romanceable)
Specialty: Custard
A member of the famed d'Estourian family, the top chefs of the culinary world. Raised from birth to be a top level chef, he has very little patience for anyone he deems lesser.
2021 Goals
It’s a new year, and to be honest, it feels a lot like the last one. I didn’t hit all my goals for last year, but I at least moved closer to them. Here are my goals for the upcoming year:
Shinsei: I’m aiming to have all the assets finished this year. Playtesting and other things will come near the end.
Every Sunrise: I’m SO sorry to make everyone wait a decade for a game that’s only ten minutes long. orz I can’t promise it’ll be worth it, but I can promise it’ll be done!
Ports, HD Versions, Translations: The cool folks at Ratalaika games are hard at work on the console port for Kansei. Hoping to get that released this year! Also working on getting Yousei out for Android (finally). And maybe… some other things?
Streaming Event: Last year’s goal was to visit many more conventions. Which. Uh. Anyway, it didn’t happen. Given how things are shaking out this year, I’m not terribly hopeful that cons are going to be back in full swing, so I’m hoping to launch an online event with some fellow devs. This will be a more player-focused event with live panels, and probably an artist’s alley so folks can find new devs. I have literally no idea how it’s gonna play yet, but we’ll see???
Confectionarius: Have finally finished the character designs for the cast of thirteen very cool folks, and will probably start sharing them with you this year. Nearly all of the backgrounds are done as well, so will be moving on to CGs and testing out gameplay.
First look at Gurski (and his sweater vest) in Shinsei! Glad to see he and Aki are getting along well.
First look at Naoki from our upcoming murder mystery VN, Shinsei. I love him very much, and I hope you love him too.
Pre-production for my (not very) secret project is getting along well, so I figure I should answer what will likely be the most-asked question: These are the ones you can date.
Makers of Ripples, RE: Alistair++, the Jisei series, and Backstage Pass.
In progress: Every Sunrise, Shinsei, Confectionarius
