Patreon early access: Great Forest

Hi, everyone. This demo is the largest demo to date, as it contains the forest area of the second stratum. However, due to its massive size, it'll be prone to bugs, so your feedback will be more helpful than ever. Please consider linking your Patreon account to Discord to gain access to our bug r...

Quarterly update | 季度更新 | 四半期のアップデート

Hi, everyone. It's time for another quarterly update to outline the plan for the upcoming months.

We've finished most of the heavy lifting for customizing RPG Maker's engine, meaning that we are now able to continue working on the second stratum of the game.

The following demos are pl...

This demo features a side-event and the minigame 'Bonding Time'.

Some important notes:

Girls' Night In | 少女之夜 | 「夜の女子会」

Today's post features a preview of the upcoming 'Bonding Time' minigame.

Due to various circumstances, Secunda has become curious about the specifics of rope play, resulting in the two girls experimenting with bindings.

The goal of this minigame is to maximize the recipient's enjoymen...

Update | 更新 | アップデート

Hi all,

Moving forward, we'll be providing updates less frequently in an effort to improve the content we show. We're currently focusing on updating the game's systems, so we understand the technical nature of it can seem boring. We'll release updates as necessary when we have more easily d...

Home?

This week's preview features the inside of someone's house. You may have noticed that the player is controlling a certain mad scientist, instead of Lily.

But...is it really Secunda? Isn't she behaving strangely?

Patreon early access: Wood Cabin

The third demo for Crimson Moon supporters is now available! 🥳

This demo features a side-event in the second stratum where Lily comes across a cabin in the woods. Lily will need to wear her 'Cheerful Bandit' outfit in order to progress through the event.

In addition to introducing ...

Sol fragments

Tomorrow marks release day for the "Wood Cabin" demo, available only to Crimson Moon supporters. In this demo, you may come across glowing objects that restore Lily's energy to full. These are known as 'Sol Fragments'. For every 5 fragments Lily collects, they'll combine to form a 'Sol Petal', wh...

Quarterly update

Hi, everyone. It's time for a public update regarding our plans for the upcoming months.

We're continuing to work on the core of the game, which involves heavily modifying the RPG Maker code. We expect these changes to have stabilized in our codebase by June, which means we can then divert ...

Map menu

This week's update highlights a new useful gameplay feature: the map screen.

Although it may look simple, it's taken many hours to create this screen (and is still a WIP). Some useful things to note are how the map reveals itself as you explore more areas, markers for save points, side-even...

Many layers

We revealed Lily's "Cheerful Bandit" outfit a few weeks ago. Today, we're showing it again, but the underlying code has changed significantly. The number of removable layers will now dynamically change according to the outfit the player chooses. Lily's sprite will also change depending on which l...

More vines

The second stratum is comprised of several distinct areas. In earlier screenshots of the forest outskirts, bandits were the main threat. However, once they tread deeper in the forest, players should exercise caution around vegetation--the environment is more dangerous than you think.

Witch

The next demo for Crimson Moon supporters, 'Wood Cabin' is expected to release by April 5th.

Additionally, here's another small update for this week: the sprite for an enemy found in the second stratum, a 'Green Witch'. She attacks from a distance and is considered to be more dangerous than...

Cheerful bandit

This week’s update features Lily’s “Cheerful Bandit” outfit—of which its sprite was shown in a past update. We’ve implemented her portrait into the game, and it'll be usable in the next Crimson Moon supporter demo, available in April. 

This outfit comes with many accessorie...

Genius scientist

Thanks to our patrons' support, we're now able to add more art to the game than originally planned. 🥳

Secunda, the featured character in the recently released Patreon demo 'Role Reversal' will now have portraits with a wide variety of expressions. She may be silly, but her intelligence i...

Cabin in the woods

The second stratum is the largest stratum in the Prison. This also creates plenty of room for interesting side-events. One of these is found in this lone cabin in the woods.

Who or what lives here, and how will they interact with Lily?

Hint: the event in the cabin will be different if...

Patreon early access: Role Reversal

The second content for Patreon supporters of the Crimson Moon tier has now been released! 🥳

The main focus this time is the minigame 'Role Reversal' which becomes accessible after clearing the side event in this demo. In this minigame, the player will control the enemy and attempt to cap...

Secunda

A genius scientist who Lily encounters in the Prison: Secunda. She is also related to the minigame that Crimson Moon supporters will be able to play tomorrow evening (Central European Time).

Thanks to the support provided by patrons, Secunda will receive a unique character portrait in the f...

Vines

The next early-access demo for Crimson Moon patrons, 'Role Reversal', is almost ready. We're aiming to release it by February 8th.

In addition, we've been working on other parts of the game. We've been asked a few times if there will be binding materials other than rope, and we a...

Role reversal, now with video

Here's a gameplay video of the minigame demo available to Crimson Moon patrons in February. As previously mentioned, in this minigame, the player will control the enemy and attempt to capture Lily within a time limit.

Depending on the difficulty you play on, Lily's actions will vary. On eas...

Reversal

Here's a sneak peek of a minigame in the next upcoming early access demo available to Crimson Moon supporters.

In this minigame, players will control the enemy and must capture Lily within the time limit. We will also include a practice mode for players who wish to tie up Lily under less st...

A certain workshop

The setting of the upcoming demo for Crimson Moon supporters: a strange workshop in the first stratum. I don't want to spoil too much yet, but let's say that in this area players will have the opportunity to experience Lily getting tied up without being sent to an escape sequence.

Currently...

Bizarre lifeform

Not much of a visual this week since I've mostly been working on enemy behavior. People who played the XI.Justice demo might have noticed that enemies have more interesting behavior than the enemies in the pre-alpha demo (for example the purple bandit regularly shouts, alerting other nearby enemi...

Payback time

It was teased slightly in the pre-alpha demo: Lily can indeed bind some enemies.

Unlike the shadows in the first stratum, enemies such as the bandits have more complex behavior. Reducing their HP to 0 will knock them out, but after some time they will wake up again.

Not a bandit

I mentioned before that the game will have multiple outfits besides Lily's standard outfit. Here's an early sneak-peek at the sprite of an outfit that can be obtained in the second stratum. Unlike the bandit sprites though, the player character has way more frames, Besides all the extra frames, e...

Patreon early access: XI.Justice

The first content for Patreon supporters of the Crimson Moon tier has finally been released! 🥳 

The content of this early-access demo is an escape sequence of the second stratum: XI.Justice. In the game this sequence will occur when Lily is captured in the forest area.

The esc...

Lily Kick!

Since it seems I can't directly upload a video to Patreon, I have converted it to an animated gif instead. On Discord I have uploaded a video version with higher quality.

In the gif below you can see one possible way to escape the tent in the escape sequence XI.Justice. After escaping the t...
