Inkethic

Visual Novel Microstudio comprised of Fal (cacoethic) and Miru (inktrashing).  Created Meeting in the Flesh, a small horror/romance visual novel where the player can court one of three different monster suitors. Currently working on Pyreside Waltz, a fantasy-romance VN with live2d animations!

hi, are you still developing Pyreside? I played the demo recently and would love to see more of this world

Thank you so much for being interested in Pyreside, you're very kind to have looked at it and we're really glad if you found the world compelling!

At the moment, I'm sorry to say this project has had to go to hiatus due to our mutual unavailability. A very intense workload on other commercial projects makes it unfeasible to continue at the speed we hoped to.

We'd like to return to it in the future if things work out!

[inkethic]

Hows Pyreside coming along? I've been thinking about it recently and I'm still excited for it!

Aw gosh, thank you so much for thinking of us and our little game, especially since we've been quite quiet this year so far! We're deeply grateful for your interest!

We're happy to say the game development is still chugging along comfortably! We anticipate that Pyreside will be a larger game than MiTF by a significant margin (hopefully more on that in a future dev update!), and being a two-person team, work has been slow but steady.

We hope to have some more detailed updates in the near future on how things are progressing, but for now, we're happy to say the project is still going strong! c:

Thank you for 2022!

Hello everyone, and farewell to 2022! Thank you so much for your support this past year!💖 We bring you our sincere best wishes for a good 2023, as well as a small gift to send out the year: a small update to our demo on Itch and a fresh new release of the demo on Steam!

Our demo on Itch (Windows, Mac) And the demo on Steam (Windows only for now):

The new version of the demo (virtually identical on Itch and Steam) contains a fix to streamline the opening choice, corrects some typos, and includes an improved version of a background CG. We hope you'll give it a gander sometime! In the meantime, thank you once more for your kind support throughout the year. We're always grateful for the kind words we've received and will always strive not to disappoint. We both sincerely wish you all the best in this coming year, and promise to continue doing our best!

After a long day at work, there's nothing better than seeing your favourite person waiting for you at home.

Good Beevening, Vil.

We're thrilled to finally be able to release the free demo for our fantasy-romance visual novel, Pyreside Waltz!

Pyreside Waltz is a fantasy-romance visual novel set in a strange kingdom of colourful characters. The player can pursue one of five different suitors, each with unique Live2D models and animations (which can be exchanged for static sprites if desired)!

In this game you play Motya, a strange doll and the protagonist of the story! With their low-key personality and their dry wit, their origins are something of a mystery.

Ermolai is a jovial and well-meaning leader brimming with an exuberant energy. A clayman hardy enough to flower through all four seasons, he feels a responsibility for Motya right away.

Perepyol is a weary scholar who's seen too much over his many years of service. A shrewd polyp with a dry, acerbic manner, Motya presents him with a curious mystery.

Vakhet is very serious about his work as a palace guard. Due to being a wisp he's often regarded with caution, but his kind manners and calm demeanour may assuage any worries about his intentions.

Timoor is a backalley doctor and a jovial alloy, quick to boisterous laughter that belies his great professionalism. Though kind to all he meets, he may have a particular soft spot for Motya.

Rosherik, a deliverer of goods, is a bold individual with an untrusting nature. Though caustic and outspoken, there may be another side to this glacial once the walls come down.

This demo will bring you through the first day of gameplay! It's enough time to get to know the characters, see some of the world, and make a few choices up to the branching storylines!

Please follow the devblog for more information as we continue to work on this game! Thank you for the support!
