June 2026 Update

——

Until I can escape the grasp of Murphy’s Law, the main story will not be available.

Thank you to all who were sincerely awaiting this update. I apologize for any disappoint this has caused.

In the meantime, a demo of my demo is now available on the itch.io page:

A downloadable game

The code is ‘Toto’. I don’t want to get indexed just yet, especially with an older build that needed much improvement, but I didn’t want to provide absolutely nothing today, so this seemed like some sort of solution. Instead of mostly large CGs, I decided to implement many small compounding visual aspects. Those are not implemented in this version, so I hope even if you read Toto’s arc early, you’ll still be able to look forward to the presentation.

The next time I’m here, the entire main story will be out! Thank you.

The pinned link for the game will now redirect to this page. I'll post again when the game is released. Hopefully I’ll have a bit more to say then!

March 2026 Update

——

I hope it was a good March!

Without beating around the bush, I’ve decided to release the game in two parts. It’s the only way the Spring/Summer timeframe can happen, and for many reasons, I want to put something out by then. The branching routes will be released at a later date.

To get a bit more specific, I wrote it so that clearing Wilt’s route is necessary to access everything else, so releasing it in this manner doesn’t feel as painful, since the reader would have had to go through it regardless. It would have been cool to release it all at once, but I had to be realistic, so I guess the entire main route will be the demo! I think those who appreciate side characters a lot won't mind, while the type to gun for their fav hero targets will suffer a little, haha... sorry about that.

The banner for this is a sneak peak of the cover image. I wanted it to be something that could represent the story somewhat. It's a bit simplistic, but I like it!

The OST for Memo is available on youtube!

February 2026 Update

——

Hello! I skipped last month’s update. It was the first time, so I feel a bit bad. It was really busy!

There’s been many real life obligations for a few months, so I wasn’t able to make the progress wanted. I’ll likely have to push the estimated release time back a bit, though if I dedicate all free time it should still be out around the same timeframe anticipated (Late Spring/Early Summer).

I’m unsure of the current length of the game, but it’s probably already crossed the threshold of being long for a first (vn) project… The way the plot unfolds, I think it would be possible to release the main plot first, and then the branching paths on a later date, if it seems like the timeframe is going to be missed by a large margin. Ultimately though, I would like it all together at once if possible. I will try!

December 2025 Update

——

I’m still in the middle of beating the script for the main storyline into shape, but it should be completed soon. One of my resolutions this year is to focus more on original content, which means I’ll be spending a lot more time on this. I'm very excited to do so! Creating a story has been a lot of fun, even if it's an uphill process.

I'll keep hammering at it. Happy New Year! I think I had a bit more to say, but there's no way I'm remembering right now...

November 2025 Update

——

Nothing much this time around. I'm still ironing things out. Visually, I've also done some more tweaking. There are a few more tiny things I want/need to adjust.

Wilt's sprite is really wide...

October 2025 Update

——

The script for Wilt’s route is completed! Looking at the story as it is right now…Well, I don't know how to quite describe it, but the audience is definitely me! The climax was probably the most fun I've had yet with writing.

From here I’ll likely begin combing over the main story from start to finish to tweak/revise some things until I’m satisfied. Not quite sure how long it’ll take. The branching routes are their own contained thing separate from the main story (they're supposed to be, anyway), so I'll be taking a little break from writing to work on some of the art next so I’ll have some completed materials on hand for my future plans. During this time I also need to tweak the visual elements in-game as there’s a little recurring issue I need to nip in the bud.

I hope you all had a good spooky month!

September 2025 Update

——

The sprite(s) for every character at this point are essentially completed. The number of expressions in total is a bit large…I suppose that’s in part because of the side characters.

Wilt’s story is still being worked on now. It’s the end of the main storyline, so I really want to make it good! This month and the next I’ll likely still be working on it. Next, I’m really grateful to all with interest in this project. My blogging (socials in general really) skills are rather poor as I don’t like to write/talk about things that aren’t finished. It’s hard to find things to say for that reason, but I still think it’s beneficial to have some sort of area dedicated to projects.

Lastly, I created this to commemorate Memo reaching 100+ plays. So if you haven’t seen it, thank you to all who had a chance to check it out! Memo was created to be standalone, and is a lot more lighthearted than the main story it’s based on, but I hope you’ll be able to enjoy both all the same.

Thank you! 😊

August 2025 Update

——

Somehow managed to finish the second interlude in a month, so onto the final arc next!

I’ve also lent my characters to a little side project that I've been helping out with for SuNoFes. It’s a short puzzle game! Feel free to check it out if that’s your thing. Guess the VN won't be the first installment in my oc playground...

July 2025 Update

——

Currently 58,000+ words in. Looking forward to seeing where the count ends up from here. I wanted more assets for the visuals during the second interlude, so that’s currently being worked on. I’ll also be adding approximate percentages to the project page in a day or two so it’s easier to track progress. Thought it’d be nice to have!
