Heya cakesters!
So, here's another update that didn't go according to my expectations. Trying to close out another of the unwritten branch paths in the game, I chose a branch of the Gullible (formerly Trickster) story path to work on. Alas, I spent a lot of time trying to script out something I thought would be fairly r...

Our second early access update this month brings with it another alternate ending to an existing storyline. This one's for the Villainous Robot storyline, and also includes an additional scene in the lead up to it, on the sixth day.
Our art updates complete the Zombie storyline from last month, a...

This past week I turned my attention to writing some Robot route stuff. I've added one new scene to the original story on day 6, and also had a stab at writing the alternate path for this route (under the choice "I have to stop this now"). I've got a couple scenes tentatively written for this release, j...

¡Hola a todos!
Con esta actualización finalmente he completado la línea del “Zombi”. ¡Y en nada menos que el mes de Halloween! Una pena que el nombre haya adquirido menos relevancia mientras la historia avanzaba, jaja. ^^;

Hey, everyone!
With this update I have at last completed the "Zombie" storyline along one story path. And on the month of Halloween, no less! Shame that the name has had less and less relevance the longer this story has gone on then, haha ^^;

Hello, cakesters!
In our first early access update of the month, we see a tentative new ending to Sayori's Alter path. It concerns the final choice of the... less ethical path in that storyline, and is an option I know lots of people were keen on seeing explored. I think it needs a little more work, but I think I have t...

I did it! I wrote an ending to that freaking Zombie storyline at last!

Hi, cakes!
Here's that little interesting thing I was talking about in the last early access post.

¡Hola a todos!
Esta actualización viene un poco ligera, me temo. Tanto mi artista como yo nos enfermamos y eso en serio afectó mis planes para este mes. Hay unas cuantas escenas más de la línea del Zombi de Nozomi, aunque realmente quería tenerla terminada para hoy. >.<
Hay también un par de CGs nuevo...

Hey, everyone!
It's a bit of a muted release this time I'm afraid. Both me and my artist were pretty badly affected by illness and it seriously disrupted my plans for the month. There's a few more scenes scripted for Nozomi's Zombie storyline, although I was really wanting to finish it by now >.<

I wanted to get ahead of tomorrow's public release by giving you folks something new. Owing to all the illness and stuff, it really isn't much I'm sorry to say; it surprised me just how much that thing set me back... but we do have a couple treats for you ^^;
Firstly, I made some progress on the ...

Hey, cakes!
Today we have the much-delayed second early access of the month, the result of several weeks of illness and general frustration. I really thought finishing the Zombie storyline would be a modest goal to accomplish this month and I'm really upset that I couldn't finish the job, I guess it can't be helped :( 2021-08-31 20:07:33 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey, angels!
Since yesterday's announcement I've been hard at work trying to make some progress from where I left the Zombie storyline in the last release. I've kinda sorta managed to assemble the mass of half-formed ideas from my cold-addled brain into something resembling a coherant script to conclude the big scene we...

As we near the end of the month without an early access release I feel I need to talk about what's been going on recently for those who may be out of the loop.
Most of you on my Discord server know this already but I've been down with a nasty cold for most of the past couple of weeks, which seriously l...

Hi, cakes!
Hiroko's new sprite art may have missed out on the last early access release, but it's here now!
In contrast to her aggressive/excited fists raised pose, I wanted something to show when she's perhaps not so sure of herself. Also, I quickly realised the potential to cheaply add a second pose for barely a...

With the focus solely on getting the Zombie storyline done, I've gotten the script written up to the home stretch. There's just one block that I need to work through before the end, but with any luck I should have the main path through this storyline wrapped up by the end of the month as planned~

As Penlight continues to get bigger and bigger (hoping to pass 300,000 words this month!) I've felt its main stars could do with a little more visual expression. So I went ahead and got a third pose made for each of them!
Nozomi also gets several new facial expressions, like the one showcased above. ...
