sexy times with katra ❤️

How would each ro act after the first morning after waking up next to mc?
FINALLY tackling the old asks! Sorry for taking a while everyone :^3
✦ Amon: Gives the MC a casual "Mornin'" while stretching. He's not a morning person at all so he hugs the MC from behind and buries his face on the crook of their neck, breathing them in. He falls asleep soon after and doesn't let the MC leave the bed.
✦ Raeya: She wakes up before the MC, a bit disorientated. She has to take her time just trying to make sense of her emotions as she watches the MC breathe. She doesn't wake the MC up and goes on about her duties, leaving a letter behind for the MC.
✦ Gael: He's fast asleep, a rare occurrence. He looks so peaceful with the timid morning sun caressing his face. Then his lashes flutter open and he looks at the MC with a smile, lifting a hand to lovingly brush their cheek. "You look heavenly," he mumbles.
✦ Envy: The MC has to wake them up because damn he's sound asleep and he's holding the MC too tight—! They're, of course, terribly flustered and grumpy about being woken up and having been caught in such a position. "C-can't you see I'm trying to sleep? Go away if you are bored."
✦ Ara: She wakes the MC up with kisses, tickles and a bit of wrestling! She's so so happy to have spent the night with the MC and she wants them to know. She wants nothing but to just lay around for a bit and talk, enjoying a lazy morning!
✦ Xal: He's mortified. He doesn't know what he's supposed to do now—he never expected to get this far to begin with. He has to act cool but doesn't know what to say or do, wants to touch the MC but is afraid of waking them up...So he just lays there, still and barely breathing, watching them sleep.
✦ Father Pride: Gently wakes the MC up with kisses. It all comes natural to him. "It is morning, my dear," he whispers in their ear. "There are things I must attend to."
✦ Lázaro: They're already up and about, preparing breakfast. Their hair is a mess, their pajamas are a mess...They're not used to waking up this early, but they want to do something romantic for their first morning with the MC.
✦ Cécile: Most likely didn't sleep. He instead spent the whole night watching the MC closely, careful of every breath they take, feeling them alive next to him. Probably has touched the MC's lips or hands to see them react in their sleep. When the MC wakes up, he's already up, dressed, and completely fresh.
And November is over! This month has been filled with paperwork, organizing receipts, and so on, which isn't very fun, but it's part of the job!
We are making great progress with everything overall; merch has been ordered and we have received proof and approved it; our voice actors are already delivering the voiced names y'all paid for during our Kickstarter campaign; and more! Let's see it in detail, shall we? :^)
Our dear Raquel has been working hard (I think I say this every devlog, but damn) on reworking the sprites for the extended demo now that the Special postcards for the Kickstarter are done! For this next batch, she'll be working on Ara and Amon, so here's a WIP of how Ara is looking so far! 💜
I think you can see how her design is already more detailed and cohesive in some areas. We'll most likely ask for feedback when Amon is ready too, to test the waters with both characters like we did with Gael and Xal :^)
The street is coming to life! This background is almost ready thanks to Astro. We'll have four new locations in the Extended Demo to help with the pacing and the introduction of our world and story to (hopefully) make it perfect. Or something close to it!
In the writing department, I've so far added 7000 words to the prologue. We have one flavor choice, two personality choices (and several personality reactions), and three "relationship choices". These basically shape your relationship with Evie in this case. For example, you'll be able to choose if you are intimate friends, are warm to each other, or if you prefer something less physical / touchy. And Evie will remember that!
And this is just so far. While River has a kind of "set" personality, I want people to be able to shape some aspects of their life.
In the writing department I should also include the documents I've provided to our VAs, and to our composer, Tomás. More on that below!
We have a proper help screen! Wohoo! 💜
Now you can enjoy Ren'py's default help screen but looking a bit nicer. This is for those who are not familiar with Ren'py's usual keybindings and stuff :^)
Nothing else on the programming side this month. I've focused on writing the script and that's going to be my main job until I can actually start programming something!
As I said before, our beloved voice actors are already working on the voiced names! In fact, Xal's VA (Francfil Pontañeles) and Pride's (Pat Langner) already recorded them! A little surprise is that we have been able to add our default MC's name, River, as a voiced name. For those of you who want to play with that name, you'll also enjoy some voiced lines!
What else—ah! We are already working with Tomás for our OST, and we have settled in 19 tracks total. Those are even more tracks than we expected! This is thanks to you all, and especially thanks to those of you who ordered more merch via Backerkit. You made those four extra tracks possible!
Our merch has been checked and so far only the pins are missing a preview and therefore our approval. We had to edit some files (beginner's mistake!) but being the first time we do this, I'd say things have been rather smoothly! We'd like to be able to start shipping this month, but it may not be possible. Which is a bummer! But well, we settled in December / January, so January it is, if nothing happens!
(Don't mind the colors being too flashy here—they will look more cohesive in game!)
OH, and the last extra bit! I've been working on the personality choices, as you all know, and Kayden has been helping me make the icons that will appear next to those choices for those who are colorblind. An extra thing to make them pop and differentiate them better! I think they are pretty self-explanatory, and if not, well—that means we have to give those icons a twist!
November has been a chaotic month for me due to the aftermath of the floods and my vacation week. The rest of the team has also had their good amount of irl stuff happening around them, but we've made it! The new year is approaching faster than I thought, as per usual, and I hope we can finish 2024 on a good note!
And that's all! As always, please take care, have fun, and enjoy the rest of the week!
I think the crow needs heart shaped sunglasses for valentine's day
You (and another anon I can't find right now, I'M SO SORRY) asked, and we deliver 💗✨
Also, we probably should give our raven a name...But I don't know which one...
PLEASE I BEG THAT YOU EVENTUALLY WRITE THAT FIC BECAUSE YOUVE CREATED WORMS IN MY BRAIN…I need him…I have more thoughts to share but I want to write them nicely and present them to you like this in your ask 🤲
dude i have so many drafts like there's the sfw AND nsfw alphabet, a serial killer au (don't question it), a regency au (im shooting myself in the foot), and so many fics that involve sharing a smoke with him I CANT WAIT TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS <3 !!!! PUT ME OUT MY CÉCILE MISERY ARRRGHHHHHH
New Headcanon: Luffy is starting to get a bit of a crush on Loki because how often does Luffy try to care for someone like this? Willingly feed him meat that he specifically wants? Trying to play nurse??
Remember, this is the same dude who said he'd never be a hero because he doesn't like to share food. This is a pretty intimate act from him imo.
And you know what? I think Zoro noticed Luffy's interest & that's why he's been such an asshole to Loki. He's jealous.
Translation: Why is he even here??
Zoro's seething because HE'S supposed to be Luffy's special lil guy.
He doesn't deserve this treatment. He doesn't stand a chance against their own history. "You don't know what Luffy needs" type of moment fr. I mean, just look how bratty he acts when Sanji gets a compliment:
And he STILL hasn't let it go asdfghjkl💀 This is the real reason for the Zosan rivalry actually.
In conclusion: Loki is an unfortunate & unwilling participate in the Zolu chronicles & Zoro's personal quest to defeat all of his love rivals. Luffy has no fucking idea either which makes this all the more messy & hilarious.
I completely understand if this is an uncomfortable question and please feel free to disregard it, but any thoughts on the LIs as yanderes? What kinda type they’d be, perhaps how dangerous they could be?
Side noting that - I am absolutely obsessed with just the demo and I’m so mad I missed the Kickstarter, will be first in line to buy the final product fs. Love you guys!
Not uncomfortable at all anon! 💜 I'm not really quite versed on the yandereverse (?) but I did my best to learn a bit and do this list :^) ALSO SO GLAD YOU LIKE THE DEMO!!! 😭💜
✦ Amon: Self-indulgent
✦ Raeya: Overprotective
✦ Gael: Obsessive
✦ Envy: Possessive
✦ Ara: Manipulative
✦ Xal: Stalker
✦ Father Pride: Manipulative
✦ Lázaro: Delusional
✦ Cécile: Sadistic
On the first day of Anniversary Week, the dev team gave to me… 🎵
✨ A shiny new Y-C-H! ✨
(it kinda works…?)
Happy Anniversary Week, everyone! What better way to celebrate than another YCH from the wonderful dehubbleton?
Tag your artwork #ADatewithDeath so we can see your MCs!
And don't forget to go WISHLIST Beyond the Bet - it releases in 3 days!
Could you guys tell us a bit about the three personalities the MC can have? I'm guessing green is altruistic, blue is like cooperative and red is strong-headed or more aggressive? The drawings aren't very clear imo
SURE! You were mostly on point with these so at least the drawings aren't terrible lol
I'm confident you'll get to better grasp the different personalities in the Extended Demo, but they can be broken down in these basic traits:
Green is warm, kind, empathetic and altruistic.
Blue is down-to-earth, intelligent, calm and collected.
Red is bold, brave and strong-headed.
Simplified :^)
"two years ago usopp wore it to show his admiration for pirates but now only luffy and zoro wear it. it's a cute detail that shows they are both moving towards the same direction." love them and their matching belts ❤️💚
