Okay, yay, the demo is finished! The missing CGs are added, the known bugs are fixed as far as I am aware.
The public version will be uploaded on itch.io in late November, when the poll results are out. (I just posted the first route's preview, about 3k words with partially-finished C...
2021-10-27 12:15:13 +0000 UTC View PostSince I wanted to keep the plot even thorough all three routes, adding more intimacy to Laurent’s route in the demo would make him appear seriously out of character, and so, as a consolation, I wrote a snippet that takes place X years (can be 2-3 years can be more) after the demo ends. Enjo...
2021-10-21 17:59:32 +0000 UTC View PostA quick note: the interactive snippets (Twine build and the POVs) and the demo are all in the same file, so downloading the newest installment will give you access to all the older routes/chapters/snippets. The snippets posted directly here in text form are not included and need ...

Jewel: (Witch/Alchemist MC)
The dense woodland enveloping the peripheries is a place normal people avoid at all costs, and for the right reason. Among the local flora - the lush foliage embathed in the shades of powder greens and violets - whose beauty is oftentimes decepti...
2021-10-19 18:08:50 +0000 UTC View PostI had a family emergency (we're fine-ish now, no worries) last week and now I caught a sinus infection because life loves to kick me when I am down. My immune system is so bad I am genuinely surprised it's only a mild infection. 🥴 I do feel much better now, though!
Anyways, Laure...

Since I use rather large canvases it was a challenge to fit everything together. Here you can see some character designs or just loose pieces I did this and last month. I have to say, since I started working on PFM I rarely ever draw for myself, so it'll be a while until I have another batch to s...
2021-09-20 22:45:45 +0000 UTC View PostSo, today I had the first full night of sleep in two weeks, yay me. I did manage to write, so it wasn't all that bad. Still, I mostly drew since it's more of a thoughtless task than writing is. On the plus side, I'll have some miscellaneous art for you, I just need to put it all together first.&n...
2021-09-20 02:36:08 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I just learned that Android changed their file extension from ‘apk’ to ‘aab’ which, surprising no one, broke everything.

2021-08-20 07:38:23 +0000 UTC View PostHello, I am bringing you 3 snippets today. As I was writing them I realized I am incapable of writing anything shorter than half a page, so technically, I didn't deliver what I promised, sorry about that.
Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy the shorts. The setting is "Academy Days". 2021-08-15 20:21:32 +0000 UTC View Post

I hate summer. The heat makes it hard for me to focus and I feel gross and faint all the time. If you're from a country that's hot all day every day then you are 100% welcome to laugh at me for being a wimpy wimp and also how are you living like this???

The pieces are heavily inspired and set in the universe of my other project with supernatural creatures and such. One of the ROs is a fae there, but that’s all I am saying right now. Below 3 snippets to accompany the images.
