Guess it's a set of animations I'm unlikely to ever see. It may be boring to some, but I prefer to keep my characters as close to morally good as a narrative allows, even if it means I end up missing out sometimes. Still, it's cool to see you've put as much thought into the consequences as this. Looking forward to 0.6 whenever it drops.

Freaking me out a little bit here BRdsky, was reading this while peeling a tangerine after a longass shift. But paranoia aside, glad to see you'll soon be back in action, gave the current version a try about half a year ago, was pretty impressed with the ideas presented and just how alive the world was for how early in development it felt narratively. Can't wait to see what you come up with next, been waiting a good while for fresh news.
To you both as well, thanks for making this a year worth having. Been a genuine joy reading every bit of progress made, from your coding stories Shady 1 to every piece of artistry you've put to the page Shady 2. I may not be as active now as I was towards the start of the year, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I'll always be here to see what you fine folk bring to bear. Here's to hoping 2026 proves to be more fruitful than ever for us all, can't wait to see what you both bring up next. For the last time this year, but sure as hell not the last overall, goodnight and best of luck to y'all. Peace.
You'll keep whatever you earned during the Halloween event, but the NPC will be gone and anything left undone will be lost. I'd recommend grinding out all the events in the order they were released, then starting a save in the Christmas event here if you want all the goodies that've released so far, thankfully phracassado actually keeps the old updates up as pages here.
That sketch of Violet is frigging adorable, can't wait to see its finished version. Stepfather used to live in Germany so I've heard plenty of horror stories Shady 1, you have my sympathies. Glad to hear you were able to make some progress towards the class events and do a good bit of maintenance on the code, it may not be much but with how hectic your life is right now I suppose that's to be expected. Hope everything's going well for you and Shady 2 despite the travel headaches, guess we'll talk again here or on Discord later, but for now I should get some sleep. If you celebrate it, just wanna wish you an early Merry Christmas for you and yours. Peace.
Guess I have a reason to revamp my jock character again, probably still going to make him out as an intelligent bruiser like he was in the first save, but now instead of a science major he can stick to his roots as a sports major. Thanks as always for all the hard work y'all put in, looking forward to the update whenever it drops.
Good news all around, glad to see you were able to begin to resolve the progress problem to your satisfaction. It does make me wonder how the professors would react to seeing a scrawny layabout suddenly become the equivalent of an Olympian athlete or gain an IQ of 180+ over the course of a month, but I suppose that'll become apparent in due time.
Also glad to hear that more progress is being made so far as the Trial and Violet's events, I know it's a slog for you right now so every bit of news is appreciated Shady 1. And Shady 2, if all the girls' outfits look anywhere near as good as Aisling does here, we're in for a hell of a lot of eye candy in the future. Only problem is now I'll be fantasizing over Elizabeth's look I suppose, but it's a good problem to have.
Thanks for another look behind the scenes in any case, hope as always that life's treating the both of you good and that you're in good health. Cya again next devlog or on Discord, whichever comes first, but for now I'm gonna call it a night here. Peace.
Got a job there a short while ago after a long dry spell, been working in textiles for about two weeks now. Fairly boring work all things considered, but it pays more than zilch and lets me help redistribute stuff that would've otherwise been trashed to a new home. Also means I get to find some pretty interesting stuff in the donations, seen multiple rare and high ticket items already, and some pretty weird stuff besides.
I've said it before and I'll say it again Shady 1, I'd far rather you took the time to make something you both can be proud of than sticking to arbitrary deadlines. This is an indie game and a passion project, if you're not happy with what you made what's the point of making it in this context?
All that being said, as always I appreciate the transparency for things behind the electric veil, it's always nice to get insights into both of your creative processes. Hope Shady 2 is feeling better after her illness the previous week, but if she's still out of it say hey to her for me. Hope life's treating you both well and that you're in good spirits. Talk to you again next time or on Discord, whichever comes first, but I'll stop rambling for now, been a really long week sorting stuff for Goodwill.
A surprise and a pleasure as always, thanks for the headsup. Can't wait to see Naomi, Honoka, and Aida's new scenes, and it's nice to see progress being made on the Halloween MC events after they were mentioned on Discord. Thanks once more for the hard work y'all put in, looking forward to the update whenever it drops.
I suppose the main reason I don't buy bundles like this is the fact that most of them have at least one work with netori, netorare or netorase as the main focus. I get there are people that somehow enjoy it as a kink, but it has always disgusted me on principle. If others want to buy it, fine, I won't stop them. But I'll never support it myself, would far rather pay the creators I enjoy individually than contribute even a cent to a compilation that has them in their ranks.
Went really damn good, was afraid I might miss it after being so beat from work, but managed to stay awake long enough to do my whole song and dance passing out candy and frightening the kiddos (well, up to a point of course). Love imitating a blinded werewolf, guess it helps that I'm a hairy bastard to begin with. Hope everything's going well for you Maelstrom, can't wait to see the next patch whenever it's ready.
Can't wait to see what y'all've been making since the last release, bought the game not too long after said patch and have been waiting with bated breath for more news ever since.
Liking the approach you took towards the bad ends, it strikes a good balance between punishing the player for carelessness and providing more content without the possibility of a complete restart.
Sometimes it just ends up going like this. I can't say part of me isn't a bit sad to see the project go, but it's understandable given what you said on Patreon. Sorry to hear about all the shit you've had to endure and continue to be plagued by OCN, knew it wasn't good on your side but I didn't figure it would be this bad.
I know words from an Internet stranger don't amount to much, but I'm hoping things get better for you from here on out. Thanks for hanging on as long as you have, looking forward to your next projects no matter when or how they release.
Still not seeing the updates in my regular feed, you're one of a handful of devs on Itch I'm following that I've seen with this problem. Thankfully the email links still work, but it's extremely aggravating regardless, wish Itch would hurry the fuck up on removing the last of the baseless shadowbans.
'Sall good man, not seriously expecting anything, just spitballing more than anything. I don't envy you developing GG, it's already one hell of a complicated beast to tackle when considering narrative alone, not to mention everything else required. Just thanks for listening to a slightly petty vent.
