i don't remember where or when i read that, but i remember reading that nico would not be a romanceable option in the final caramel mokaccino. have i dreamed that or is it true? i can't seem to find any information on the matter!

Ack, sorry for the late reply!Nico is not romanceable on the first playthrough, but can be unlocked later on. There is a good reason for that, I promise :’)

Since the CGs in the KS update look TINY, here, the full game-resolution CGs! :)

New update! In this installment: directing takes forever but things look pretty, and look: new CGs!!

[caramelmokaccino]

Update time! :) tl;dr: we have been working real nice the past couple of weeks! Some previews and sketches inside :D

Honoreee’s DoraKone sprite is almost done!!! I’m gonna try getting her all rendered today >o</

[caramelmokaccino]

When is the full game going to be released?? Hopefully soon!!

Sadly, we don’t have an ETA yet.The art department is the one that’s most behind, and it will take a while to get all the art done, so we’ll give an estimate once the art is back on track (We’re currently focusing most our art efforts in DoraKone which should be done sometime soon!).

Now, for another mini update:

We’ve closed in a BG artist for DoraKone and a composer for CM! We’ll be sending out emails to everyone that applied shortly!We’re finally getting the alpha draft of CM read by the whole team and passing notes to the Editor, who is confident about getting prelim edits in the next couple of weeks.

We’re *very* excited!Expect a proper update with announcements and so by next weekend as we resume the bi-weekly updates!

We're Hiring!

( Formal hiring post because we need some visibility ;) ) We are currently in need of a Composer for Caramel Mokaccino.

If you are interested in working with us, please feel free to contact us at the e-mail below with links to your samples/portfolio, your rates, and your best method(s) of contact. We are primarily looking for looping tracks in a low-key, upbeat style to suit a slice-of-life story—nothing epic or cinematic! And, we are not seeking 8-bit / chiptune styles at this time, unfortunately. Experience with composing and writing lyrics for songs with vocals is a bonus. Our vocalist is been sitting idly waiting for something to sing for ages! The number of required tracks has not currently been nailed down, so please also let us know if you have limited availability.

We also would like to hire a new Background Artist for DoraKone.

If you wish to apply, please send us a link to your previous background artwork, your rates, and your best method(s) of contact, to our email listed below. The amount of backgrounds needed is very small (around 3-6), so this will be more of a short-term gig. We welcome a range of styles, but are especially interested those that will mesh well with the style of our sprites (please check the examples above.)

To apply to either of these two positions, please contact us at [email protected]

Mini update

Got back from our Voice Director, we’ll be going through the auditions (FINALLY!!!!) during this month!! Also CM’s official first script editing round is done, the team is gonna give everything a read to make everything is okay before going in for more editing!

We got a bunch of applications for composers and Background artists, but we’re still accepting more! We’ll get back to everybody that applied this weekend or so :)

[caramelmokaccino]

It’s an update! :’D TL;DR: We are working on DoraKone and have a pre-alpha build! Also will probably have a pre-alpha of CM as well in the very near future :) Still no news on the voice acting front, but we’ll tell you as soon as we hear something (we recently contacted our voice director!), and we’re hiring a composer for CM and a BG artist for DoraKone :) And lastly, all future titles after CM, CM’s fandisk and Dorakone under Apple’s Cider label have been put in indefinite hiatus. Sadly, that includes AJ’s sequel ):

[caramelmokaccino]

just wondering if there's any word on casting for the secondary characters voice actors? I auditioned a veryyy long time ago. Was wondering if maybe I missed an update, or if it still hasn't been decided..?z

Hi there!Nope, still no news on that front, sadly ):

[caramelmokaccino]

Deji here! Apologies for the lack of updates regarding the sprites! I fell sick and I’ve been working on these very on and off X_x I finished Nico’s 2nd pose and 2nd arms for pose #1 a couple weeks ago and I’m currently working on Julieta’s! :)

Here’s our GxG VN game logo! Hope you like it!:D

[caramelmokaccino]

Here are the somewhat cleaned profiles of our cast!

Brin, the “I’m gonna win ALL THE THINGS, BRING IT!!” gal Rayen, the shy soft squishy shy cutiepie that loves her little dragons too much but hates having to go out and interact with other players. Honoree, our clueless pay-to-win child, she’s a sweetie though! And Glen, the dead inside gay ace ice cream parlor clerk who’d rather not be there at all as our special support character!

The name of the game will be  DoraKone: My sweet summer adventure (because Dulce, our MC, is a nerd.)

Logo will come later! We’ll keep you updated with our progress! :D
