Here it is, the first screenshot from the actual game, and Vita - a suspicious roguish character who now has her sprite.
I've worked on the game a lot last week. Art really gives me inspiration. =)
Also, I've registered the game on Steam under the name Demonheart: The Cursed Trial. A coming soon page will come o...
I got the first backgrounds of the cursed village for the new VN!
Things are getting real. =) When I get some more art, I'll be able to make the first official screenshots.
This game will have nine important characters, including the protagonist, and it will take a while to make all the sprites since Nii, the charac...
We now have the full sprite of this new romanceable boy, Ran. He's a city guard... sound familiar? 😂
In the meantime, I've contacted a new background artist and I hope there will be some background art to show soon. The artist who did most of the backgrounds for the Ice Demon is going to be busy for months, so I wan...
Here is some concept art for the next character, who will have a romance. He should be a "nice guy" but I do want everyone to have some darkness in them.
Progress has been a little slow since both the artist and I have been sick, but I hope we'll pick up the pace soon. =')
We have another finished sprite! It's a new character who I hope will become your love-hate nightmare. =') Actually, I hope that not EVERYONE will hate him.
I have been writing this VN and using some rough placeholder art until it becomes more clear which scenes will be needed, and it's already fun to write. The charac...
I just got this Raze art from the artist, and I fell on my head. =')
I hope you like it too. Meanwhile, I'm planning what exactly will happen and how much of the first draft of the plot I'll already have to rewrite, and we'll get started on another character.
Hey everyone!
I have a small update to share. I've started working on the plot and script for a new VN in the Demonheart world, and the artist 6Nii9 made this sketch of Raze (the adult one, you know him :))
All I can promise in regards to the old characters is that Raze will make an appearance. The protagonist i...
The game is finally out on Steam and itch.io. 🥳
Everyone who supported my work, thank you! Currently, Kickstarter a...

I would like to be prepared and have things decided in advance, although right now, rest is what I need most. :) Anyway, I wanted to ask for your input.

Here's an update on what I've been working on for Demonheart: The Ice Demon.
I've made a lot of progress on finishing the game:
- Tested Esmius's ending and made some changes to make it more different from the solo ending.
- Found voice actors for all the NPCs - it will be partial voice acting, and the prota...

It's time to sum up all the progress on Demonheart: The Ice Demon I've made over the past month, and it's been a lot.
First, I had a long session of testing and polishing Sirath's route. I've worked in relationship counters for Nissa and Eniri, and given them some consequences, so all the little choices I was u...

Apart from polishing the game, I've recently been working on putting together an artbook, since I have so many character sketches, and the artist has been so pro to provide me with interesting progress images. Also, I loved when he did concept art and I had to choose which details and colors I wanted on a character. Today I'm...

Last month, I finally wrote some scenes that were missing in Sirath's romance and a solo ending. The game now has four endings and all the main parts of the plot are written. I'm hoping to add some more player choices in the late game.
The end is in sight! If I don't have any bigger delays, it could be finished in two m...
2022-09-03 09:21:13 +0000 UTC View PostLast month, I was working on the text in-game, setting the characters' positions and expressions and playtesting. There's still a lot of work to do, I'm still in the first half of the game, but here are some screenshots.

I've been on the edge about whether I should post this artwork or not, because I feel it's revealing too much game content, but on the other hand, it was too cool not to post, so here it is.
The artist is 6nii9 😍
The demo is out today! You can download it from the game's pages on Steam and itch.io.
Thank you to all my patrons for...

Hi everyone, I have some news about the demo for the upcoming VN.
Since I decided to have the game participate in the Steam Next Fest: June 2022, the demo will be ready before the event begins! I have been editi...
Here is an update on the game art for Demonheart: The Ice Demon - Shar as the mistress of the house, sitting at the desk.

It's been a while since I posted a progress update on the new VN, so here are some new screenshots. I haven't been able to work on the game as much as I would have liked to, as I am still dealing with some health issues, but I hope I can pick up the pace soon.

I asked the character artist 6nii9 to do this one image for Jester/King, and here it is! The in-game sprites were done by me and they took way too long, so I never managed to draw Madion in a new pose for the main menu.
I apologize for the slow updates on the new VN, life is kind of getting in the way of my progress on...
Here's the colored version of the previous illustration!

I feel like it's been a long time since I posted some meaningful progress reports, but the holiday season coupled with a few health problems... January always seems to go like this for me.
Nii, the character artist, has been working at his usual pace, though. I just don't want to spoil too much, but here's another sket...
Hey, so I've decided to post some conversations that never made it into the published games. I have an archive of unused conversation snippets, but not all of them are presentable. =) Some didn't make it into the game because of a change of plans, so they didn't quite fit in, and others I didn't know how to finish.
Thi...
Today the background artist finished this new image - it's an icy part of Inferno.
In the meantime, I'm sorting out and editing the text. I finished writing the first version of Esmius's romance and still need to write a solo ending.
Demonheart: The Ice Demon now has a Steam page and can be wishlisted!
Thanks everyone for your support! The holiday season is coming, and there's always family stuff, but I'm still steadily working on the game.<...
Here is another sketch, this time from Sirath's romance.
I'm preparing a Steam coming soon page with screenshots! I'll be posting about it as soon as it goes live.
Thank you for your support!
Here is the colored version of this romantic(?) scene. (Well, it depends on whether you like being teased by a naughty demonspawn.)
As for the progress on the game, I've been writing and need to write some more. I finished the first version of the Sirath romance branch, but I feel like I need to add more to it. Also, s...
Dropping one special illustration sketch for you to see. This should happen pretty early in the game, so it's not a big spoiler. What seems to be going on here? ^_^
2021-11-16 12:36:30 +0000 UTC View PostThis month, I started writing more, and plan to continue this writing spree. Should I slow down and run out of inspiration, I'll work on polishing and publishing the demo for DH: The Ice Demon. Meanwhile, some couples illustrations are in the making, and I'll try to post one that isn't too spoilerish because it appears early ...

Here are the introductions for the rest of the characters.
I marked the two guys who are sure to have a romance. There's a possibility the story will evolve to include some romantic content with someone else too, but I'm still in the early writing phase. :)
