Hello everyone! I'm back with a new update as I don't ride the heatwave boiling my country, I surf it 🌊
I won't apologize for this, so let's talk about some good news.
🌧🌧🌧
Ameni's route is finally done as well! I'll try to finish one ending per month until the release date, and so far it's going well. I'm very proud of the CG for their best ending and I hope you will like it too 🖤

Act 3 is done! All of Eranis's parts in chapter two are done and dusted and I'm now onto act 4, which focuses on Teysdrar and his side of ✨𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓩𝓲𝓲𝓻𝓱𝓪𝓷 𝓯𝓾𝓰𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮✨.

GOALS
Make half of Chapter 2 - Act 4 for TCOC
Make Connor’s endings for ETE
If time allows it, draw character sprites for "Project Regent"
🌧🌧🌧
CLOSING WORDS
May was busy, and June might be busier. Between a birthday to celebrate, my best friend coming over from the other side of the country, Sparkey (my co-creator for Project Regent) coming to visit for a half-week from a neighboring country, and a short-staffed day job, it's a lot to plan in advance, but the goals should be doable.
The more I keep planning the game I'll be working on in 2027, the more excited I am. I hope you all are eagerly waiting for more information, as well as for Enter the Eternity and TCOC Chapter 2: Lost Souls to come out!
Thank you all for your continued support and let’s make good progress in June!🦾🖤✨
Conversations at the AquaBar, a NaNoRenO project, is available for free on itch.io!

END OF APRIL UPDATE
Hello everyone! It's May, it's spring, my allergies are coming back but I have good news to share for RainSpice Studios so let's get started.
🌧🌧🌧
We're so so so close to the finish line! Aiko's route and all of her endings are officially done. Only a few more and some testing and the game is ready to go! The deadline/release date of September is still plausible and, as of right now, looks very attainable.
[Your roommates are magical girls (and boys and people)? Might as well learn more about their powers and go on a few dates with them! Download the demo here.]
🌧🌧🌧
Half of act 3 (out of 4) has been completed. Only one half-act to do next month and Eranis's parts in chapter 2 will be fully completed.
Chapter two finally has a name too! While chapter one was "White Death", chapter 2 will be "Lost Souls". (Chapter 3 will be "Snowbound").

🌧🌧🌧
"PROJECT REGENT"
As this project is not in active development (rather a secondary development), its progress is much much slower than TCOC or ETE. I think its updates will only pop up once every three months unless there's an emergency or something cool to showcase.
But as of right now: only some backgrounds need to be added in chapter 1 and it will be over. The goal is to shift to chapter 2 in may, which will be another challenge and a half (as it's twice as long as chapter 1), but the scenes have been outlined and some characters have been sketched, so I'm excited to get started on that too :Dc
🌧🌧🌧
GOALS
Finish other half of act 3 for TCOC
Make Ameni's endings for ETE
If time allows it, finish Chapter 1 of Project Regent
🌧🌧🌧
CLOSING WORDS
A lot of work has been done in April, and I'm excited to get started in May. I've also finished the synopsis and outline of the game that is supposed to come out after Enter the Eternity so I can hit the ground running when the magical girl dating sim is released. A little teaser is that the main character's name is Blake, but that's all I will say for this month's update.
Thank you all for your continued support and let's make good progress in May!🦾🖤✨
Have you ever wanted to experience the aftermath of DashCon 1 in a sci-fi universe with a drink on the side and no technology past the late 2000's? This is the game for you.
After a terrible convention, unwind with a stranger.
What you thought was going to be a good day at a gaming, PowerSuit and Mecha convention turns out to be a terrible experience. Unwind at the AquaBar with a stranger, talk about your day, and you might realize that you have seen this person before.

Goals
Every goal in March has been completed, so here are my goals for April:
Hard deadline-
Make Aiko's confession scenes and endings for Enter the Eternity.
Finish half of act 3 for chapter 2 of The Code of Crystals.
Soft deadline-
Finish chapter one of Project Regent.
🌧🌧🌧
Closing Words
A short update, but as I only had NaNoRenO to do in March, I don’t have much to say. I'm glad I took on this challenge, and I'm happy to get back to my regular game schedule. As of right now, everything is right on track for my games.
Thank you for your continued support and let’s make some good progress in April!
Hello everyone! What do you mean it’s already March?
I’ll keep this update short, but there are a few exciting updates coming up, so let’s get started.
🌧🌧🌧
First of all, RainSpice Studios is partaking in NaNoRenO 2026!
The Game’s name is Conversations at the AquaBar (CATAB). I will create its itch.io page when I have a little more art to showcase. As said in the last update, it will be a visual novel made on RPG Maker MZ. It will also be free to download and play.
After a terrible edition of StarCon, you find yourself next to another visitor at the bar. He must not know that you were an important guest, and vice-versa. Between understanding, ranting, and attraction, will this trip to the bar turn this terrible day into something more positive?
I do plan on posting daily updates over on BlueSky, and posting art updates here.
🌧🌧🌧
We’re still on track for Enter the Eternity so let me share some good news: every single third date is done! I just need to make each character’s different endings and the game will be ready to be released. The ones I will be working on on April are Ameni and Aiko.
[Your roommates are magical girls (and boys and people)? Might as well learn more about their powers and go on a few dates with them! Download the demo here.]
🌧🌧🌧
Just like Enter the Eternity, the Code of Crystals is also on schedule. I will be able to start Act 3 out of 4 of Chapter 2 in April, so please look forward to that.

🌧🌧🌧
Goals
Every February goal has been achieved, and my only goal for March is to release CATAB for NaNoRenO 2026.
🌧🌧🌧
Closing Words
February wasn’t as hard as January, but I know that March will be busy, both in terms of workload and organization. But I do think that NaNoRenO is doable and I can’t wait to get started. Thank you all for your continued support and have a nice February!
We're right on track for Enter the Eternity! Henry and Jae-In's third dates are done, which means that I'll be tackling Madigan's third date and the bad endings in February.
[Your roommates are magical girls (and boys and people)? Might as well learn more about their powers and go on a few dates with them! Download the demo here.]
🌧🌧🌧
Just like for Enter the Eternity, The Code of Crystals is also right on schedule. Act 2/4 will be finished at the end of February, in order to start Act 3/4 in April. There are only two short scenes that I need to add, and it should be quick.
I have also started writing parts of the codex and am planning to add a map to the game. However, I will implement these in the game a little later, probably before Chapter 2's release.
Chapter 2 also doesn't have a title, so be expecting polls to know which one sounds best.

🌧🌧🌧
NaNoRenO
I do not know if there will be an official NaNoRenO event on itch.io, but it is a challenge that I am interested in trying out in March. The project I will be making is called Conversations at the AquaBar and will be a simple visual novel made on an RPG Maker engine. It will also be free to play and download.
🌧🌧🌧
Project: REGENT
January was focused on character scenes. What I call character scenes are events in the game where you have free time away from your political duties, so you may hang out with some of the characters featured in the game.
Some characters can be romanced, but these scenes have not been planned out, yet. We're focusing on friendship scenes, first.
🌧🌧🌧
Goals
You will find a TL;DR of my goals for February below. For my 2026 goals and calendar, I will make a separate post and explain everything there. Bold means that 28/02 is a hard deadline, while italics means that 28/02 is a soft deadline, and regular text is optional.
(ETE) Make Madigan's 3rd date.
(ETE) Make bad endings.
(TCOC-CH2) Finish Act 2/4.
(P:R) Sketch out and code main menu animations.
(P:R) Draw the sprites needed for the character scenes of chapter 1.
(NanORenO) Plan out the game scenario, without writing the script.
🌧🌧🌧
Closing Words
January has been a hard month, but I'm hoping to find a job which gives me more free time to work on my games. Thank you all for your continued support and have a nice February! ✨
Quick PSA: If you see any links in the comments of my Itch game page saying Update Here, do NOT click on them. It’s not me, it’s phishing and likely malware. They’re getting trickier now. The one I just deleted was actually called “Updates” in the profile name and had a link to itch, so it looked halfway legit.
I delete and ban these as I see them, but they pop up daily. I may not be as quick to delete them while I’m away, so I wanted to throw up a warning here on tumblr.
I will NEVER post updates in the comments section. All updates will always be announced in my devlog and come from my actual game page.
Hello everyone! Here is RainSpice Studio's planned calendar for 2026 featuring: 3rd dates for Enter the Eternity and its endings, and a spoiler-free timeline for The Code of Crystals (an act changes every time there is a POV switch).
Some things may move around (and you will know what will change in the monthly devlogs), but this is the schedule I want to stick to, this year ✨
Hello everyone and welcome to the last post of 2025! (Wasn't it March two days ago?)
The good news is: every goal set for December has been achieved and more! A calendar has been made to keep myself and my co-creators on track for 2026, which I will reveal in another post, but without further ado, let's talk about video games, shall we?
🌧🌧🌧
December was very productive. Not only is Connor's third date entirely finished, but I could get a head start on Henry's third date. Half of his part has been written. The goal for this game in January is to finish Henry and Jae-In's third dates, which is realistically doable, just like an end-of-year release is also realistic but unconfirmed.
I have also been brainstorming ideas about a second game set in this universe. It will be quite some time before it comes out, but I am liking the main idea and themes so far.
🌧🌧🌧
The puzzle I mentioned in December is done! Based on the planned timeline, ACT 2/4 should be halfway done at the end of January or mid-February. Development is going well and I am optimistic that I can get it done or get a good portion of Chapter 2 done this year.
There are some extra topics I need to debate on, but will most likely be added:
I would like to add a codex in the game to make the lore more accessible when unlocked. It may not be added with Chapter 2's update, but maybe will be added with or before Chapter 3.
I might make a TTRPG based on this universe and its lore. This is just a rough draft and idea, but one that I like.
🌧🌧🌧
PROJECT: REGENT
Project: Regent has been stuck in Schrodinger's progress. A lot has been done, but a lot still needs to be done. However, I completed my goal of having chapter 1 be 90% playable. Sparkey and I have been working hard, and while there is still a laundry list of things to do and edits to make, we're liking what we are seeing so far.
We have also completely remade the multiplayer system. It is still multiplayer, but in a way that is much more manageable for the script(s).
Project: Regent will probably be a duology, but it needs to be confirmed based on workload, interest, and additional factors.
GOALS
You will find a TL;DR of my goals for January below. For my 2026 goals and calendar, I will make a separate post and explain everything there. Bold means that 31/01 is a hard deadline, while italics means that 31/01 is a soft deadline.
(ETE) Finish Henry and Jae-In's third dates.
(TCOC-CH2) Finish half of Act 2/4.
(PR:E) Set new goals and milestones for 2026.

CLOSING WORDS
I'm not good with long conclusions. 2025 has been a hard year but I hope RainSpice Sudios will grow more this year and will be able to release more games for everyone's enjoyment. Thank you all for your continued support and I will see you all in 2026!
Hey, everyone! I’m back to talk about games. Apologies for the lack of news and progress in November, which will be explained after all the game updates. Let’s get started.
🌧🌧🌧
While I did manage to finish Ameni’s 3rd date in late October, this month was entirely focused on Connor and his 3rd date. The writing is done and the sprite placement is over halfway done, so I will be focusing on his CG and backgrounds in late December to move on to the other half of the 3rd dates and the endings in 2026.
🌧🌧🌧
The puzzle I mentioned in October is not finished, but I did a lot of bug testing and bug fixing. Thank you to my roommate and a friend from uni for helping me out with beta-testing. I want to get it done by the end of December, and I hope I will have time to do so.
🌧🌧🌧
PROJECT: REGENT
Because this is a two-person job, Project Regent is coming along nicely. Still a little slower than what I’d like, but there are only 24 hours in a day. Sparkey (my co-creator) is an absolute beast when it comes to writing and drawing backgrounds. They’re both fantastic, although I might be biased.
Our goal is to get chapter 1 mostly done by Christmas. It seems realistic enough, but more of a soft deadline than anything.
🌧🌧🌧
OTHERS & GOALS
Following severe issues stemming from an event that I will not disclose, I was unable to work on games a lot in November. On top of that, I had to deal with pet grief and a full-time job.
I had to cut back on a lot of my time outside of work but I’m ready to get back to it and keep making visual novels for you all.
Goal recap for December:
(ETE) Finish Connor’s 3rd date.
(TCOC) Finish the first puzzle of act 2/4.
(P:R) Get chapter 1 to be 90% functional.
🌧🌧🌧
Thank you for being so patient with me and let’s make some good progress in December! ✨
