I’ve set up a little Google form to collect everyone’s thoughts on which route you’d like me to do next! I’ll probably choose the order of the remaining four myself, so if there’s one condimen whose route you really want to do asap, now’s the time to vote for them. Please pick up to 2 condimen only!

Thank you as always to everyone for playing and supporting my humble little project! ^_^
The first romance route for my otome visual novel, Saucy Suitors, is now available to play in alpha on itch.io!! Click over here to download it and check it out, along with links for walkthroughs!
I’ve put a lot of sweat and love into finishing this, so I really hope everyone enjoys it!!! Please let me know what you think!
Hi everyone! An update is going out today on itch.io for alpha version 0.11.1! This small update fixes a few things and adds an author’s note to the beginning of the game about the unfinished state of the game and where to find walkthroughs.
Here’s a walkthrough for Sho’s route itself and all of his endings! Note, this contains spoilers, so if you want to play Sho’s route a few times before looking at this, you should. But if you’re trying to see all of his endings, this is where to look!
I made this flowchart a few months ago for my beta testers - if this isn’t clear enough or you’d like a text version, please let me know!
Walkthrough to Get to Sho’s Romance Route (Saucy Suitors Alpha, ver. 0.11)
Hi everyone!! As was announced on Monday, Saucy Suitors has been updated on itchio. A beta of Sho’s route is now playable! Hooray for the first romance route being complete!!
To help people access the new content, I’ve prepared a walkthrough to help people select the right dialogue options in the prologue to get to his route in the first place.
So, technically I posted a walkthrough to get not only Sho’s route, but every condimen’s route (eventually), a long time ago. This flowchart breaks down how all of the choices in the prologue work. But to give you a clearer idea of what options you need to pick, here’s a summary!
How to Get Sho’s Route in Saucy Suitors
When the tourist is rude to you: doesn’t matter which you pick.
When the boy is asking for poutine: offer him something off the menu (top option).
When deciding whether to call your boss back immediately: call him back (top option).
Eventually, you should reach a point where Piper rushes off to work. If you get the text box that says she ate a bagel for breakfast, you’ve selected the right choices so far. If you messed up somewhere, you may get the option to pick what breakfast she has - if you do see this choice come up and you’re trying to get Sho’s route, pick the bagel!
When deciding what to do about the other food trucks: call the police immediately (top option).
When Jean offers you his mustard: eat the mustard (bottom option).
When Huey asks your opinion about Star Angel’s Bliss: agree with him (top option).
When deciding whether to ask Sweets to stay: let Sweets leave (top option).
When asked your opinion about Hunter’s behavior: agree with Moyo (top option).
Note that if you happened to ask Sweets to stay, you’ll get a different final choice in the scene that follows. In this scene, when Sho loans you his handkerchief, don’t blow your nose (top option, if I remember right).
If you follow the above steps, Piper will select Sho has her cook-off partner, and you’ll be officially on Sho’s romance route! Have fun and please tell me what you think after you’ve played it!!!
HELLO, EVERYONE! Update: I'm SO close to having Sho's route AT LEAST released as a beta. Hoping to have it mostly ready by the end of this weekend. Thanks, everyone, for your patience - I'll be doing a devlog on itchio/tumblr explaining why the heck it took too long! Sorry for the radio silence, life has been crazy!
Hello, my lovely sauciers! March NaNoRenO is over, which means I’m back to trying to finish up Sho’s route. (If you’re curious about I made, you can check it out here! It’s an even tinier demo than the original Saucy Suitors demo, but it’s written by my editor Kim Berkley. And it’s about dragons! Woo!)
Anyway, there’s not much to say other than that I’m aiming to have Sho’s route done by the end of the month, if time permits. My husband and I bought a house a couple weeks ago, so we’re pretty busy with fixing it up and getting ready to move. But hopefully, I’ll be able to get out that Saucy Suitors update before May! (This is why I’d really wanted to have Sho’s route done by the end of February, but alas.)
Aside from that, I started a podcast with some friends of mine about Puella Magi Madoka Magica. You can check it out over at @madokamagicast if you might be interested!!
As always, check my twitter for more frequent updates. ^^
(This is a mirror of the update posted on itch.io today)
Hello, lonely sauciers! So I'll cut right to the chase: As you can guess from the title, Sho's route has been delayed until after NaNoRenO (so, basically, April). While the route is almost completely finished, there are still a few backgrounds and CGs that aren't done yet, and some of my beta testers haven't got back to me yet on feedback.
I asked my followers on Tumblr and Twitter about whether they'd prefer the route to launch on-time with some placeholder assets, and have an update add the finished assets later, or whether they'd prefer its release get delayed so I can 100% finish it. The option to delay OVERWHELMINGLY won. (I'm talking, like, 90% vs. 10%.)
So... I'm hoping that everyone who follows the game on itch.io feels the same way and won't mind the delay. It's regrettable, but I don't want to let down all the people who have encouraged and supported me since last year, either. ToT
If you're interested in seeing what I'm planning on making for NaNo this year, you can keep an eye on the jam page or follow me on Twitter at @oddlazdo. Thank you again, and next time, Sho's route is DEFINITELY coming! (seriously, I promise!! sob)
Saucy Suitors development is coming down to the wire!! x_x
Question: which of the following would you prefer? For Sho’s route to release on time (i.e., before the end of February) with some of its art assets still unfinished, or for Sho’s route to release after NaNoRenO (i.e., sometime in April) with all of its assets 100% complete??
I’m gonna do a poll for this on Twitter, but you can tell me in the replies or my ask box too. I want to know what you’d prefer!!
Hello, my lonely sauciers! Odd Lazdo here with an update on a special day: January 28th is the birthday of our beloved soybeanpole, Kikkohito Sho! 😚Saucy Suitors takes place in March of 2017, so he'll always been canonically 31 years old. But he would otherwise be 32 years old as of today! Happy birthday, Sho!
Now for an update on the progress of Sho's route! Here's the status of everything so far:
Script: 99% done
First round of editing: 100% done
Talksprites: 90% done
Backgrounds: 50% done
Special CGs/additional art assets: 30% done
Programming: 25% done
Selecting music: 50% done
Beta testing/second round of editing: 0% done
It might look like there's a lot left to do in the next month - I still intend to release Sho's route before the end of February - but the most important thing here is that the art assets are close to being finished. Drawing everything I need for the VN is hands-down the most time consuming aspect of making this game. Once those are done, it'll only take me a few days to put everything together in Ren'Py and start testing and proofreading (which itself won't take long).
And that's it! This will be the last devlog before Sho's route goes live next month. As always, thank you to everyone for playing and for your support! Click here for links of where you can follow me & Saucy Suitors on various social media sites. See you next month!
Happy New Year to all!! Here’s hoping everyone has a fantastic 2019 - I have big plans for Saucy Suitors in this upcoming year. Thank you as always for playing and for your support! ^o^

Two more special CGs for my otome visual novel project, Saucy Suitors. It’s a cooking-themed dating sim where all the love interests are based on table condiments. :D Hopefully you can guess which two these guys are, hehe.
Special CG I did for my otome visual novel project, Saucy Suitors! ✨ Gonna be posting more of them over the next several weeks too! (Sorry for the lack of new art on this blog recently… all my spare art time is going towards working on the VN ;o;)
