The Demo Is Out!
You've woken up in a strange manor. You've been offered servants' clothing to wear. The lord of the manor is a vampire who seeks to make you his "dinner guest". Between him and his combative butler, you have your hands full trying to survive the night!
The demo features:
~11,000 words total
Four ways to die!💀
Nameable Player Character with choice of body type, pronouns, manner of address, and uniform.
7 CGs with several variations of each
A swordfight minigame
I'm going to unironically bring back these types of character images because I miss them.
Also the last CG for the demo is done so all that's left is fiddling with some busted sound effects and some little details on the menu screens.
Blood & Sherry (Coming Soon!)
You've woken up in a strange manor and have been offered servants' clothing to wear. The lord of the manor is a vampire who seeks to make you his "dinner guest". Between him and his combative butler, you have your hands full trying to survive the night!
I'll be showing various features / previews / characters as the deadline approaches. The first one I want to share is the character customization screen!
Name your character and customize them with 4 body types to choose from and separated pronoun / gendered titles. In the story you will also choose between a maid or butler uniform which will be reflected in CGs that feature your character.
Last night Don't Toy With Me hit 10,000 downloads on Itch.io! This is so much more than I ever thought something I made would get and I'm so happy the game has been as positively received as it has.
So I just wanted to say thank you! Thanks to everyone who has downloaded or played or watched or shared or told a friend about the game. It means so much to me and is a huge motivation to keep making games and sharing my stories. ❤
The Blood & Sherry demo will go live tomorrow!
General Updates!
I return hopefully back in the swing of making things! I hit a pretty big pitfall there for a while but recently got back on the horse so here's where we're at now.
♥ I've added an FAQ both here on tumblr and on my main website. In doing so I've emptied out the questions from here and on CuriousCat that were repeats of previous questions or each other. ♥ Unfortunately I decided not to finish The Biting Cold. The assets I completed for it will be made available on my itchio page for others to use whenever I find the time to properly organize the files and layers. Namely I'll be offering the backgrounds, Nora's sprite, and the interface I designed for the game for free use in other people's games and the option to tip.
♥ I'm trying to complete my most recent game in time for this year's Queer Games Bundle. I'll be elaborating on it in its own post! We're three weeks out but I do have some decent progress so hopefully I can make it!
♥ DTWM Good Route is still currently on the backburner. I'll let everyone know when I get back to working on it.
♥ I won't be resuming full devlogs on my website until after my current game is done as I'm on a tight deadline and don't feel it would be a good use of my time to use time writing those. But I'll be sure to give this game a thorough post-mortem!
A demo is on its way! Just about 2.5 more CGs and some sound and detail work and you'll be able to play the story intro and the first scene from each route in demo form.
A couple of features will be missing from the demo (mainly The Gallery) but I'll be using persistent data to try and ensure anything you find in the demo is unlocked for you in the full game.
Also I noticed while testing that the sound cues for gaining or losing points with either character are a little overwhelmed by the music in scenes where music is playing so just in case, I've added cute little indicators to give some visual feedback when your decision has affected your standing with Nicolae or Ramsey.
Late night, a little sick, time to share a process video for how I make the visual novel CGs. It's got tips, fun facts, and speedy painting.
