I love Alessa so much 😆

"God bless you!" A bald man runs past Lance to throw ribbons at Kroner and Billy's manes. "God bless you all!"

Hadrian inclines his head. "And you, good fellow."

But Alessa rips the pink ribbon off K...

"You gonna stand there all day?"

You look over your shoulder and see that the beggar has stood up. A grey, nondescript cape covers most of his body except for a pair of well-worn boots. The hood...

Finished Vallen's path!!!

Just reached the point where the two paths will converge, and it only took me... 117 notebook pages (Vallen is a chatty one 😋). I know I say this every time, but I really didn't expect it to be this big 😭😭 Chapter 3 will probably ...

Finished Vallen!!!

Or, should I say, finish the path where you have enough clues to figure out a few truths about our Red Guard. I... like it so much 😭 I decided to go with the version where you figure out the truth in the most narrative-appropriate moment because it ins...

Vallen's Revised Introduction Scene

Besides a headless statue of a curvy woman with a thin tunic clinging to her round body, you see Vallen.

Progress Report

Hello!

I'm sorry for taking so long to post this Progress Report. I meant to write one on Saturday, but life got in the way.

This past week went well! For the first three or four days I focused on the Bonus Content — which ended up being way longer than I planned — and then, I con...

Intimate Alphabet — Rafael & Vallen (Mature)

Rafael

• A = Aftercare (what they're like after sex)

Rafael's entire body deflates. He slumps down, whether it's on top of you, bellow, or behind, limbs sprawled to the four corners of the bed, and hair flying everywhere.

He...

Connecting strings

Lots of thoughts and notes for the last parts of this chapter!!

I always love the handwriting stage!! It's the most fun one ❤️

(The big notebook is the outline book. The little one is where I write random thoughts and sentences that pop up in my head, and the medium-sized one ...

Take Your True Love by the Hand — Hadrian & Alessa (POV)

"Just try to be gentle, yes?"

The soft-spoken words echo in the halls of an underground tomb. Ancient walls rise to impregnable darkness, and by the faint light of the campfire, it seems as if there's no one else in the world but you and him.

The fire bathes half of your face, reveali...

Saturdays!

How I love them. But most importantly, I love sitting down and organizing my scattered thoughts into a half-coherent post. You'd be admired how much it helps me make creative decisions.

About the Alpha Build, thank you to everyone who commented! ♡ Writing is such a lonely...

Hello!

Here's the entire first part of Chapter 3! As always, it'd help me immensely if you report any errors or typos you encounter.

Progress Report

Hello!

I didn't make a progress report last weekend because I thought I would be done with coding on Sunday which... did not happen😅. The code got a bit more complicated in a couple of scenes, which slowed my progress.

But I'm very close! 33 more Word pages, and I'll push the updat...

Progress Report

Finished writing Part One of Chapter 3!!

Finally 😭. This second addition grew to be bigger than the first half, mostly because of the amount of variation in it. I think in one playthrough, the part already published is probably longer, but this one has more branches depending on your cho...

I adore protective Hadrian😭 (And slightly possessive 🫣).

Hadrian blinks, looks at Teo, hunched beside you, and his face hardens. With long strides, Hadrian gets to the bar but instead of sitting on the only available stool, he f...

Progress Report

Hello!

Yesterday, I reached the end of Part 1 — without the secondary paths added yet. It was supposed to be short and sweet, but Alessa had other ideas 😆. Tip: you might want to ask Mist about Tarek to get a little extra scene. It's small, but it speaks of things to come.

I kept...

Hello, hello!

Just finished a really fun writing session, and I'm almost done with Lance. I'm a page away from wrapping up the conversation with our blue bard, and I am so excited for you all to read it! 😆 He's so fun to write for, so different from Hadrian and Alessa, and it's ...

To write or not to write

Hallo!

So, I was preparing this month's Bonus Stories — a little later because all I wanted to do was work on the Chapter lately 😋— and I'm not sure what characters I should do for the Mature Scenario.

First, do you still want me to do the Alphabet for all the characters? Or wo...

Alpha Build

Hello!

Here is almost the entirety of Part 1 of Chapter 3 — you'll see some choices that you won't be able to click, and that's intentional. I'll be adding the rest of the paths soon. I didn't want to delay this post anymore.

For now, this one is Hadrian-heavy. If you're no...

Happy Friday!

I bring good tidings. I (finally 😭) finished coding!! The new part passes both Quicktest and Randomtest, meaning the game is playable and has no game-breaking bugs.

All that's left is for me to personally test the last couple of scenes. I have to play...

Lingering Glance

Just added another addition that hurt my heart to write. Just like Alessa's angsty argument, this one is also hard to come by, so I think most people won't read it. So, I'm leaving it here!

I'm sorry, Hadrian! Why did you fall in love with such a complicated person? �...

I'm coding in some last additions to the chapter (it's so close, I swear!), and this angsty path was so hard to write 😭. Alessa my darling, only I know how much this guts you.

This happens in the worst possible outcome, so most people aren't likely to see it. Let me...
