Hello everyone, Keyko here. I'm writing this one day before my flight. Bad things happened recently, so clearing my head and leave my family behind for a while will do me some good.the TL DR is that I was closeted, I had planned to stay that way for a really long time and mom forced me to come out, let's say it was an awful event. I can't believe it happened before I could even write a...

October's Devlog

Hello everyone, Keyko here! Finally got some time to sit and write my thoughts down. It's been a tough few weeks ever since I came back home. I've been dealing with my asthma that always hits me at the end of falling sick, a simple cold can transform into a monster who leaves me incapable of getting anything done.This isn't the first time I mention this so the TL DR is I cough nonstop,...

1 Week delay

This is just as the title says, if you're pledging and would like to wait to pledge back for official release, please do so now. I can't pause the billing or I'll lose the entire month because the system is dumb. So I'm writing a warning post instead if you wish to wait for Clyde 5, just unpledge now. You will be given Clyde 5 regardless when it's ready, just send me a Patreon ...

September Devlog

Hello everyone, Keyko here, super sorry for the extremely late posting. This was supposed to be up, like, two weeks ago. I caught the flu while I was in Amsterdam and yes, I'm still sick because my body refuses to get his shit together...There are some good and bad things, like, I mentioned Clyde 5 being incomplete, that still holds true. I decided to ask my editor to fix the script up to wher...

Dylan 5 early access

Hello everyone, another short update from my hotel room. I'm currently chilling in Amsterdam, typing this out at night after an entire day of walking. God, that's way too much grass touched for such a small nerdy bear.Anyway, Dylan 5 is here! We've got good and bad news. I'll start with the bad first to get it out of the way.Gallery is, for unknown reasons, broken. We have no clue ...

August Devlog

Hello everyone, Keyko here with my last update before vacation! I'll stay around and post what needs to be posted, no need to worry about that.At the moment, I almost finished Clyde 5.

July Devlog

Hello everyone, Keyko here with this month's devlog. I finished writing Russell's 5 (turned out a bit shorter than usual, thought I'd write an additional scene but I decided not to. I think it fits better on D6 after giving everyone some space.)Now I have 1 month, more or less, to write Dylan and Clyde 5. I don't see it as impossible, but definitely a challenge. At current pace I c...

Patrice 5 early access

Hello, monthly update is here! I was meant to do that a few days ago, but I had a fever and couldn't put my thoughts down. Sorry for the small delay. It's been a big writing session, again breaking through my barrier. This chapter turned out so big I had to... cut a few scenes and move them to D6 for next time.Patrice 5 available with 26k words4 New CGs + 2 Sprites buffsI actually had 5 to...

June Devlog

I wanted to apologize for writing so late this month. I'm... still feeling the burnout from working so much and I was prioritizing writing Patrice 5 whenever my brain didn't feel too tired. Because I'm not done yet and that bit of strength I had in me wanted to go that way.I'm, like, 80% done and I'm almost out of my burnout.This month was less thinking and more I can't wor...

Blake 5 early access

I am beyond exhausted guys, but I stayed true to my schedule and did the insane amount of 40k words in a month between this and TFN.I can't guarantee Patrice 5 next month because I just started, but I need a break. So I'm expecting to do it, but not deliver in time. Ideal would be to succeed, second best double update next month(July) so nobody lost anything.Sorry boys, I apologize in adva...

May Devlog

Hello everyone, this is the first of our three monthly Patreon posting, the behind the scenes update. Sorry, I'm a little behind schedule, I'm really tired.

April Devlog

Hello everyone, this is the first of our three monthly Patreon posting, the behind the scenes update. This has been a loaded period for me. I've been working with a new editor to fix all previous content once and for all (Still doing it as I'm typing this). But I also need to fully write Blake 5 so that I can stay an entire month ahead to work on the Patrice May Jam. (Annnnd I barely start...

March Devlog

Hello everyone, Keyko here, this is our "back to work" devlog! But I already locked the fuck in. I have tons of things to do. I HAVE to get them done. I rested enough and I'm roaring to go.So, let's start with the Patreon. Our funds dropped. A lot actually. I expected it, but I can't help being worried because I have a lot of people depending on me, I announced Id keep the qual...

The devlog for updates, schedule, roadmap, and me rambling.Then, the art direction post. It will start with a big black picture as a "spoiler" option so that you can ready yourself or ignore it. Just me adding precautions. It will contain ...

Liam 4 early access

Hello everyone, Keyko here with the last Patreon update before the month skip. Liam is really fun for me to write. It's... very realistic. People will hate him if they can't afford the time to understand or if they stop at surface level. This day will help you unravel some of those issues and more deep meaningful conversations about life in general. I hope you guys will enjoy the nuanced ...

January's Devlog

Hello everyone, Keyko here, back with our monthly discussion about progress.I was holding myself from writing this because I just needed to gush about the latest update. I am so proud we actually did that. Composing and singing a song is insane. I genuinely thought we were going to create some lyrics and be done with it, but actually singing it was something I NEVER EXPECTED.Everyone helped out. I...

December's Devlog

Hello everyone, Keyko here, back with our monthly discussion about progress. We have a special surprise in store for you guys in the next update. I don’t want to say a lot because talking about it is basically gonna ruin the whole thing, but it’s music related. A dear friend of mine has been helping me with it. I picked him up directly from his work on Cienie, BenBinturong. (If you haven't...

Clyde 4 early access
