fave scene omg, i don't want to spoil anyone!! but it's when the yamakui becomes affectionate toward the mc and laments that it's boring without them

for this game, there are 4 endings and one of my goals was to make all endings equally narratively interesting depending on the kind of story you'd like to see. essentially the game asks you of various characters: do you want to fix them, or do you want to make them worse?

nef @nefferinthia.bsky.social · 4d

i have no clue yet how long the endings will end up being, but the character dynamics will differ pretty significantly between them so i imagine not too short

wrote 800 words on the script for Our Light Affliction today! we're at roughly 19k words and we're not too far removed from the final choice scene where your ending is locked in

today i worked on the UI for Our Light Affliction! i spent some time ideating in my sketchbook a few weeks ago and i think it paid off in how quickly this came together

so my laptop died right after finishing my spooktober duties, and it turns out i didn't have my CSP settings backed up so i've had to reverse engineer my custom brush i use for all my lineart... i think it's kind of close???

My birthday gift to @nefferinthia.bsky.social
This is one of the characters that will appear in their gamejam game, which will release soon.

I've been told that this would be one of the few moments of happiness she has. Should I be worried? 😱

All of my current steam VNs will be featured in #FallinLoveFestival this week! I hope you're ready to celebrate love, which you can definitely find in my games!! 😇

Festival graphic for Fall in Love Visual Novel Festival. The framing artwork shows two girls in a soft pastel art style blushing and gazing lovingly at one another. The game showcased is The Last Winter Knight, which shows a long-haired knight angrily thrusting the pommel of her sword at another knight.
