Hello Itchio friends and welcome to our second Gales' Devlog, where I'll talk a bit about my plans for this month and share a few sneak peeks at what's coming in the near future ~

Pure in Heart Version 1.1
Now released for the first time ever, which is so exciting! It's only been a few days and we've already reached over 100 downloads ~ and several collections, too ~ Thank you to everyone who's downloaded and I hope you've been enjoying the introduction to the thrilling courtly romance. I've already got an outline for the second chapter written up. I imagine it'll be even longer than the previous chapter with lots of new art and a couple new characters to introduce, as the plot thickens and we get into the rising action of the main story. Get ready for the feels, it's going to be quite the emotional ride! Dramatic perhaps, but the good kind. The kind that involves life-threatening dangers. I won't spoil too much, but I will announce that the second chapter will be focused around the themes hunting, dragon riding, and loss of innocence. I know I'll be looking forward to it! ^o^
However, we're going to be sticking a pin in this project for now as I shift my focus to other projects.

Dragon Roommates - Griffin and Ignis Chapter Three
I've officially began working on Griffin and Ignis' final chapter ~ It's been nearly three years since I started working on this project. We've come a long way since then, but the journey isn't over yet! We're definitely in the final quarter of it's completion though. For Ignis and Griffin's final date, we'll be going to the Carnival. And this time will be extra special, because Nixie and Wisteria are coming along as well! Seeing as it'll be their last night out on the town, it's only fitting that the throuple's two best lady dragons come along for the ride as well. ♥
Since this is the final date, it'll play a bit different than the previous ones.
For starters, there will be no mood meter. Your relationship with Griffin and Ignis has become stable enough that you'll no longer have to worry about them wanting to quit the carnival early. Instead, the objective of the carnival date will be more centered around money management. Our MC has been saving up for this special occasion, so they'll have $100 budget this time. And while I do have plans for designing some super cute and cool new outfits, don't get carried away with the clothes shopping for your boyfriends! You'll want to save up at least $20 of in-game currency to spend on tickets at the carnival.
Of course there will be some new CG scenes coming along with the new chapter as well. Mostly NSFW, but one or two SFW ones as well.
Hope you'll look forward to reading the final chapter! ;)

Honkai: Star Rail Otome
Though I plan on mostly focusing on Dragon Roommates this month, I may work more on the HSR Otome project on and off a bit, too. I hope you HSR fans out there are looking forward to getting to spend time with The General. He's been feeling a little stressed lately and could use a distraction. You know there's more than one way to relieve stress, Jing Yuan. Hehe ~ ♥

That's all I for now! I hope all my fellow Northern Hemisphere itchio friends are enjoying their summer, and the Southern Hemisphere friends are getting ready for winter. I've got a vacation coming up that I'm very much looking forward to. And I'm really looking forward to hitting the pool some time ~ I live smack dab in the middle of the country, so no ocean/beach time for me unfortunately. T_T
I'll be sure to post another monthly update in July as well ~ Though I plan on participating in artfight again this year, so I might not get as much work done next month. Hopefully I'll get some really neat artwork of my vn characters I can share with you all. If you're also participating in artfight, be sure let me know so I can attack you! Pew pew! ^_^
