Nice, I remember you said each chapter would have a different form of mind control, are the eye colors gonna be different for each one 👀?

We'll see. But there will probably be a different "effect" of some kind, just to make them visually distinct, and eye glow would be the simplest. So "at least" that, probably.

Nice, good luck to you I'm looking forward to seeing it

Hey no worries on needing the time. I always figured one person working on a passion project would take a bit, especially when you've delivered some good quality stuff in the past. I'll be waiting, good luck to you for the future of what you're working on!

Thanks! Yeah it's a lot to keep track of sometimes, but man is it satisfying when it starts to come together.

Given that I've been sitting on an RPG maker game since *2018* I can personally understand delays.

Ha! Well hey, hope to see it one day.

Awwh yeah! Hyenas! <3

Delays are a normal part of life, most important is that you don't burn yourself up!

Thanks. Yeah, definitely got to pace things. Think I've got a decent balance going though, just gotta keep it going now.

Hello yes I am here for my yearly visit to this site. An update on Cruel Serenade? Cool! A delay? Not as cool, but I can hardly judge. I was planning on doing an Easter animation this year and uhhhhhhhhh...
Anyway I like the previews. Particularly the invitation. Mezz on his toes, leaning into a guy twice his height, grabbing his crotch as he stares up at him, and of course the fact he's doing all of this under hypnosis, totally unaware he's slutting himself out to his enemy. Mmph. Yep. That does a lot for me.
Also kinda amusing how stoic the dog is. Reminds me of people trying to get a reaction out of the Queen's- [Ahem] King's Guard.

Hey, it's Easter somewhere, as they say. And thanks! Yeah, I think the new mechanic/dynamic between him and the enemies is going to be a lot of fun once it's set up. And yes, the dog is definitely a bit reserved, but that will make more sense in time.

This is good to hear! As in, hearing the update of what's going on is good

Of course, setbacks/unplanned things/misjudgement/whatever happens, and it's always bad. So I'm sorry to hear that you had to push back the release.
But please take your time. Don't push yourself too hard and try to enjoy the process and all of the horni goodness. It will make the end product better as well :3

As much as I'm sad to hear that it's been pushed back, cuz I really loved the first chapter, I love your art and writing and just the general kink in it, I still want you to just take your time with it
Don't stress

But yeah, thanks for giving us an update! I keep checking your profile every few days to see if there are any news on the game x3
Somehow I missed this journal, but yeah

Thanks, I appreciate it! And yeah, just gotta take the time to do it right.

You're very welcome! UwU

And I was a dingus and completely forgot to acknowledge the update itself! x3
I love what I saw in your post! Bunny looks to be getting friskier :3
And also, stimky yeems are always a good addition!

Keep up the great work ^w^

No worries, glad you saw it eventually. Yeah, the hyenas are going to be a lot of fun to work with I think.

Well, well. Even for a simple art style, production hell leaves no mercy to developers.

After finishing an RPGM game called "Lewd Demon Lord and the Lost Holy Grail", I'm much looking forward to chapter 2.

p.s. if you want a tldr of what Lewd Demon Lord is, it's a pretty generic "royal must serve overlord and kill group x, but oh no the overlord's castle is captured by group x and so mc must save the day". I recall your comment in which you hated how plenty of 'games' aren't games and more like galleries with extra steps. This game though does the absolute bare minimum of being a 'game'. It's like the artist prioritized art above in-depth story and interesting gameplay, that it's more like a CG gallery with RPG aesthetics. Even though you have made 1 chapter, you made a story I cared about and the gameplay isn't trying to jam every variation of the same ability.

So for a 2-3 hour game, the story is lower end of mediocre, if not bad. The side characters are very forgettable, the mc is a blank slate which only get character development... from specific bad endings. The bosses are more generic than pokemon's character-of-the-day. They only fight the player because 1) the mc just walks up to them or 2) they work for the big bad with their entire backstory summed up in a paragraph (or 3 sentences) each. None of them actually try to actively stop the mc.

And now the gameplay...
The Main Character only has 4 spells that are good, the rest are either poor man's version of the 4, a poor man's spell of a poor man's spell, or in one case is even worse than basic and almost no variation needed in terms of strategy.
It's over 20 succubus bosses, the only ones with sex scenes, with a niche gimmick to make them distinct. Anyone can easily half the bosses by spamming the stun spell, then use the 2 power spells and occasionally use a low-mana spell that recovers all your mana AND half your hp.

Aw thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Doing a full review of Demon Lord here is an...interesting choice, but looking at it I'm not surprised it's as flat as you're describing. Art style certainly looks decent, but I know a LOT of eroge get made by someone who's either a good artist or can afford one and that's really as far as they get. I think THEY think the point of a game like this is just to add some variety to the art, but it's so much more than that. "What if a regular RPG, but it was sexual?" is almost a kink in and of itself, it's this fun perversion of something familiar, and exploring all the ways you can leverage the design and mechanics to explore that is a big part of the fun. Some of the big ones that influenced me had such great sex battle mechanics they almost didn't need event CG: it was amazing to me how much fun you could generate with a system like that, how long it could keep you interested. So I've tried to capture a little of that in my stuff.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I can only send my regards to your progress.

Still appreciated!
