Well, here it is! It's been at least two months of toil but I've FINALLY written a version of Nozomi's reworked route through to a semblance of a conclusion. I'm far from happy with the current version, especially as I've had to scale back my ambitions for it just to get it done, but for now I'm ...

Hey, gang!
The writing focus on this past month has been solely on getting Nozomi's rewritten storyline shipshape, and while progress has been way slower than I'd have liked, there's now some meat on its bones this time around with some all-new scenes fully developed and even a CG to go wit...

Uuurrrrggghhh,
Okay, for one reason or another (pandemic-related depression, writer's block, burnout, take your pick) it just hasn't happened this past fortnight. Not for want of trying, but yes, the words haven't exactly flowed recently.
While banging my head against the wall trying ...

Dear cakes,
My muddling through with Nozomi's expanded story continues, as I've laid down some preliminary dialogue for days 7 through 10 and about half of 11, right before a major scene kicks off. I knew this would be a challenging struggle for me but geez, this thing is kicking my butt! T...

Note - As usual with these art updates, there may be spoilers ahead. This post concerns the Delusion route, where Kyou impresses his desires on Nozomi and her friends instead of simply listening to them.

Hellooooo,
It's been five weeks since the last public release of Penlight, and the game's been in a bit of a transitionary period. My time's mostly been focused on rewriting Nozomi's main path, with the intention of increasing its length, working some more fun kinky scenes and generally fle...

Hi, cakes!
Hiroko might have had a quiet time with the story updates lately, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten about her ^.^ This latest CG I've commissioned depicts her at the start of her route, and honestly it's about time we had an image of the school tennis star actually doing...

Hey, cheesecakes! First early access of the month is here~
So, I'm still not happy with my recent progress as I muddle through Nozomi's major rewrite of her route. Catching the flu didn't help, that took me out for about a week, but at least now things are slowly beginning to take shape fol...

Hello, cakes~
This one's hardly exciting, but I may as well show you how Nozomi's mom looks now that I had a little left over in last month's art budget to get her sprite done. Her role's expanded slightly since she was introduced, as she now shows up in Nozomi's rewritten path, so I figure...

Hello again, cheesecakes!
So, as promised here's another early access update for you. I'm sad to say that I'm continuing to struggle with getting Nozomi's rewritten route nailed down, but it's taking shape piece by piece as I got the outline done. It's VERY rough towards the end, and that l...

Hello, cheesecakes (and people from the future, reading this post when it gets unlocked)!
This is another update where I've been badly disappointed by my own output. Elongating Nozomi's main path and adding more kinky scenes (while still keeping it out of sex game territory), while I still ...

Hi everyone!
This month's public release is pretty much all about Sayori, as the path I previously showed a draft of has now been written out to a conclusion. To see it, Kyou needs to start her route, suggest making her think she's someone else and decline every opportunity to switch Sayori...

Heya, cakes! It's been a while, but work started on the third and final CG of the month so I wanted to show you how it's shaping up.

Hey, cheesecakes!
Not gonna lie, this was an extra challenging writing period for me. Much as I love the concept of this story path I've been writing for Sayori's Alter route, trying to tie things up has been a difficult slog and I'm not super happy with the result. I've hammered out ...

Hi, cakes!
The second CG of the month is a group scene! This will be used early in the Delusion route, when Kyou first approaches them up there, but this CG could evolve over time to encompass a number of rooftop scenes with the girls being drawn in different poses and expressions to convey...

There's a few things in this release that I'm pretty excited to show everyone ^.^ Firstly, with the main sprite work done I've been able to turn the art budget to CGs, so we now have art depicting the start of the game, one of the main endings and the start of Sayo...

This update is all about the CGs! While there are some story additions, the main feature here I think is all the additional art that I've been able to put into the game. As you've seen from the art updates, we now have a CG for the intro sequence, the game's original ending ...

The third and final CG art in this month's series heralds the start of Sayori's Alter path, where Kyou basically gets her to loosen up a bit by having her play a happy alter ego, and finding it way more effective and impactful than either of them imagined~
Unlike Hiroko and her route, Sayor...
