Sorry for the delay! Might make a new post soon. There’s going to be some changes with the game and this blog. Stay tuned ^ ^

Hey everyone! 

August is half over and I didn’t get a lot done lately o o’’ I’m mostly moving into a new dorm plus starting school again on top of that. Progress has been slow, but I get the feeling that I’ll get there soon enough. 

I’ve updated some sprites and the writing needs some polishing. For a short game, it would seem like I should get it finished soon, but I don’t want to give the readers an unpolished story. As for the BGs, I might have to resort taking pics and editing them on photoshop since I’m so bad at it = =‘’

For those of you who are like me (about to start back school), you’re not alone and I will suffer with you. BUT we’ll get through this coming academic year together! 0v0 9 

Good luck!

Hey, guys! 

Sorry about the absence. I was working my butt of for the entire June so I barely had time to work on the game. I got the idea of making a small comic featuring Orpheus because he happens to be a very important character in the game as he is Lilian’s main tormentor. 

He’s not mean. but he tries to make Lil get together with some guys since it’s his job to do so. 

This blog has reached to almost 50 followers which made me very surprised. I hope you guys don’t give up on me yet. I never realized how hard it is to work on the entire game by itself. That means I have to take care of sprites, CG events, writing, and more...

Nothing relating to what I’m currently working on. I was hit with inspiration for a character in my next game. I’ve been itching to make a yandere otome game in RPG maker, but I must fulfill my obligation to WCWBF! 

If anyone is curious, his name is Sakura.

I’ll be on for a couple of hours redoing Lilian sprite. Come and watch me ^ ^

[honeylilacdevelop]

So the thing is that I’m using Tyranobuilder as my main platform. I give props to the people who started with Ren’Py, but I honestly can’t code for squat ^ ^’’

This software is great because it can let you drag and drop without any problems. Although it doesn’t have many customization capabilities, I really think that it’s a great program to start with, especially for people who can’t code. It’s not free, but it’s definitely worth the price. 

I bought this when it was on sale for $9.99 on Steam on Christmas (at the same time I bought Huniepop.) It’s now $14.99 on Steam, but if you are frugal then I’d wait for it to be on sale.

So I’m pretty stuck on what to make the childhood friend look like so I’m gonna make you guys vote who’s going to appear on the finished product (m- -m)

My style kinda changed a little since I started making this game. Anyway, here’s one of the “pursuits” in the game. 

Kirameku happens to be an idol, but no one knows why he’s so famous. He can sing, but you’ve probably heard better. For some reason he has taken interest in the protagonist. 

[honeylilacdevelop]

I’m thinking of putting up a stream next time. I was wondering if anyone is interested?

[honeylilacdevelop]

I don’t know how long this took me, but man I’ve come this far. I’ll eventually get to making proper character introductions and maybe some hints abut what’s really going on in the game. Good luck me. 

[honeylilacdevelop]

Anyone have questions about the game? OつO

[honeylilacdevelop]

It’s been so long since I’ve last posted something. I’m wondering if anyone is still there? I’ve started a job as a nail technician and it’s taking a lot of my time now (plus summer school.) I’m so happy that I got started drafting one of the CGs and I hope to get it done somewhere in the near future. 

Stay tuned for more updates!

[honeylilacdevelop]

Btw I hang out on twitter more if anyone is interested.

Just a reminder

[honeylilacdevelop]

I redid the sprites! I realized that I made it harder on myself drawing on a big canvas so I drew the sprites in A4. I’ll try and get the rest of the characters finished!

[honeylilacdevelop]

So I’m nearly done with Kirameku’s sprite, but along the way, I’ve decided to redo the sprites of the other boys as well as getting started on other supporting characters. I’m getting a lot of writing done, especially with the help of my friends. 

I’m not sure if there are enough people interested in this game, but I’ll continue to work hard ovob

Again, I have a twitter in case anyone is interested since I post a lot of art stuff there.

In light of recent events, I’ve decided to add an idol route, but he ain’t after your heart. It’s your money.
