Hey guys!
First off, I would like to extend a very warm thank you on behalf of Dzahn and I. We both are incredibly touched that so many of you decided to support us!
Second, I'd like to apologize for being a bit late on this one: truth is, things have been a bit hectic for me, and I wanted to do someth...

Heya Juniors!
Here's the fourth playlist for the main characters of SL! Our resident pop expert is, unsurprisingly, really into sugary coated music treats, hehe. One thing Nate loves is challenging and fun vocal lines to sing along to. He can often be heard singing songs like these openly, doing his best to keep his vo...
Bonjour !
We've got Nate's character sheet today. Whew, he's changed a lot since his initial design. Believe it or not, he's one of the newest character designs in the game, being concepted out maybe a month or two before I made this character sheet. I can't say a whole lot of these traits will be carried over to the Na...

Hello everyone!
It's the beginning of March, so that means the February build is now available to all on itch.io!

Good morning, everyone!
We've got the next build of SL ready for you today! February was a tough month for Dev and I getting everything ready. Valentines is the busiest time of the year for my day job, and Dev has been studying non-stop to take an exam that'll open a ton of doors for him. Regardless, I managed to get e...
Heya Seniors!
So silly ol' me forgot that this year is a leap year and we managed to finish up next month's build a day early! I figured I'd give you guys a special treat by letting you get your hands on the next build RIGHT NOW!
I also want to thank you guys so much. You're our highest tier supporters, and I of...
Hey guys!
Today, I've got something special: the User Interface, or, to be precise, the dialogue box!
Truth is, I've been developing this part of the game ever since development started, and the dialogue box in particular has gone through several iterations, and the one you're currently seeing is the latest versio...

Yo~!
Everybody likes guitar solos, and I've got a piece that revolves around probably the best one I've written so far! I can't wait to show you guys the final product!

Hey guys,
Here's a little fun fact about Santa Lucia: Karina was the first sprite made for the game. In fact, she was remade twice, her second iteration being the one that's currently in the game.
However, I've never been totally satisfied with the way she looked. Something in her pose looked slightly off and unco...

Heya!
Today I've got my personal favorite of the playlists I've made for the characters. I suppose it's fitting it's Russell's, since he's got probably the most depth to his angst and emotion, which is very easy to find appropriate songs that match those feelings. This is one of the playlists I rotate through often whi...
Heya Seniors!
Today I'm sharing Carlos's character sheet. Out of the whole cast, I think he's the one that's seen the least amount of changes going from paper to in-game writing. I always intended him to be the "big muscle guy" of the crew, but in the end I opted for some chubby representation in the dateable cast inst...
And here's the second of the tracks!
I really like how this one turned out! Leslie's developed so much as a musician since the Revisited days, I'm super proud of him!
~Dzahn
Heya, guys!
We got a couple gift songs courtesy of Lesli-Chu! He's put together a couple themes for Karina's roommate Shay, who you should start seeing more of in the future!
We've also got a preview for the public folks of Karina's new outfit in Build 5!
Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey guys!
I've been looking over the Patreon survey results the past few days. Thank you so much to all who submitted their feedback, it's given me a lot of insight into how to run this page better!
One of the most common requests I found was you guys wanting to know more about Santa Lucia's structure, and by ex...
Hey guys!
Valentines is just around the corner! I hope you're all doing well!
Today I've got a small snippet of a new song I'm working on. It's another entry in the "Regret" series of songs I've been producing for Santa Lucia. I hope you enjoy what I have so far!
Cheers!

Good morning, guys!
Phew, January has been a jam packed month! We've got a new build in store for all of you, finally bringing the game's prologue section to its conclusion! Starting from September 2 in-game, we're now in the first act of Santa Lucia, so expect plotlines to start developing faster as all the introducti...
Heya everyone!
We're getting the final touches for Build 5 done right now! Look forward to getting your hands on it sometime tomorrow!
In the meantime, enjoy a closer look at Bryan's, uhh...new "friend" Diego! This croc knows what he wants and he isn't afraid to take it, so Ben better watch himself!
Cheer...
Hey everyone! I hope January has been well to you!
If you have the time, we would really like some feedback on how we've been running the Patreon page! I've included the link to a Google Form above and I would really appreciate hearing what you guys have to think!
Cheers!
~Dzahn
Hey again!
Here's the second sprite I talked about in the previous post: Doctor Dubois! Wise and patient, he'll help Ben settle in his new life in Santa Lucia. Although we've only seen him once so far, I'm sure we'll see plenty more of him in the future, so stay tuned for that!
That's all for today, and if y...

Hey guys!
Today, I've got something special to share with you guys! I'll be posting two sprites I've been working on for the past month, starting with our big crocodile friend here, Diego!
Most of you have probably already met him, but if you haven't, Diego is Bryan's new friend he met during orientation. We...

It's been a while since I've made one of these WIP posts, hehe!
I've got a super experimental, probably too avant-garde piece I'm working on right now. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it, but I'm positive when it's in the game it'll be somewhere meaningful ^^'
Cheers!

To coincide with his short story's release, here's a behind the scenes look at Russell. One of Santa Lucia's themes is the concept of masks and how we choose to present ourselves to others. I think Russell is o...
Hey guys!
Here's the second of the character playlists I've made. This time our favorite Aussie has put together a set of songs that give us a snapshot of his taste in music. As the group's mentor, his playlist is meant to be the template his students follow for the assignment.
I've worked on these playlists on ...

Heya guys!
We've got a special treat for you today! I finally had time to write up this idea I had for our first short story this weekend. Get to know Russell a bit better as we follow his point of view after he parts with Ben in the prologue.
I look forward to hearing what you all think about it! There's defin...
