I've been working on it for a little while now, and I'm still at the beginning of the script. A few new sprites have already been added, and two backgrounds have been updated! Since the previous update introduced a lot of new sprites, most of the upcoming scenes won't require many additional ones, although there will still be a few special scenes and brand-new backgrounds.

This is the second half of the Anniversary AMA Special from Patreon. Check out part 1 here!
Development for the next update is already underway!
I previously mentioned that I needed to clean up the game's code before getting started, and it has genuinely made the development process much faster for me. The first weekly development update for Day 3 is already available on Patreon, and everyone else will be able to see it next week. That said, I'll be sharing fewer screenshots of new scenes this time around.
You'll also be getting some updates about the store and upcoming merchandise soon, so please be a little patient! I'm carefully checking the quality of every product before approving them. Some are already finished, while others are still on their way. I'll be sharing photos as soon as everything arrives.
Finally, a quick reminder: please don't use the moderators' ask boxes for questions, complaints, or reports about the game or unauthorized merchandise. I'll be providing an email address soon where you can send that information directly to me.
The moderators are here to help manage and organize this blog. On their personal blogs, however, they are simply fans and content creators with their own interests and opinions. The development of the game is still entirely my responsibility, so I kindly ask that you respect the moderators' personal spaces.
valko having a "lone wolf" as his soulmate. someone who naturally avoids people and shys away from him too because why would a hunking billionaire wolf chairman want YOU? comes to your place of employment AND your house AND your favourite coffee shop and WILL not stop trying to fluster and flirt with you. talks about your interests with you to get you to open up to him (where'd he get that info from?) hes not stopping until your soft and pliant in his bed, accepting the bond and his knot
I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate but I'm going to say it anyway because im tired and in a mood.
If you want your version of Mc to be a dude? go for it.
If you want your Mc to be nonbinary? go for it
Trans Mc? go for it
Mc of any flavor of lgbtqia+? do it!
Mc of color? Go for it
Do you think Mc should be kissing Tarra, Simon, or Jenna? Smooch away!
You think the boys should be smooching eachother? Let them smooch!
If you think each lad has their own Mc? sure why not
If you think they're all in one big ploycule? cuddle pile away my individual!
If you rather pair a love interest with an oc who is decidedly not the Mc? ship to your hearts content!
If you're comfortable with the Mc/Caleb sibling thing that's a okay
If your not comfortable with the Mc/Caleb thing that also ok!
If you want to explore darker themes or kinks in your art and fics do it!
If you wanna write an au where Sylus is making out with Ada Wong, Zyane is on a date with Leon Kennedy and Rafayel is getting his back blown out by Chris Redfield that sounds hilarious, write it!
If you rather stick to cannon and make tooth rotting fluff and the like that's also perfectly valid!
Fandom is varied. People who participate and create often create for themselves and sometimes they're gonna create stuff you're not into, and that's fine that what tags are for sweetheart. Don't stress yourself or others out by pearl clutching at every little thing that doesn't jive with you. Simply keep scrolling, don't read the fic, don't look at the art, filter the tags you don't like, block the creator you don't like.
It's not the 2010's anymore. Fandom purity culture is dumb and makes people not like you.
Okay here are some things that give us hope right now.
- Valkoās trailers are still up on X, the only platform that doesnāt allow archiving of posts.
- His discord has been archived, not deleted.
- The hunters notice messages from his live stream is still in the game.
- His world underneath chapter is still there.
- His song is still up on Spotify.
- Calebās version update for his release was split into two parts and he came in part 2. They could be doing the same thing with Valko.
- Infolds silence isnāt voluntary. There is no way. They are losing more revenue by the day, they have fallen dramatically in the charts, their reviews have been absolutely bombed and the update is glitchy as fuck. Theyāre editing content behind the scenes to meet the ccpās expectations and itās obvious they rushed the update because of it.
- on top of the ccp breathing down their necks they are still being violently targeted and threatened by deranged āfans.ā They wonāt say anything until they have their shit sorted and itās safe to do so.
- I saw some leaks about his story and if theyāre true he is way more important to this story than we thought. Erasing him isnāt just company suicide, in fact I have no words to describe how stupid it would be.
There might be more Im forgetting but for now this is enough.
Yall know how I was all gloomy and depressed before? Yeah. Yeah screw that Im fucking fuming now. I donāt give a fuck about censorship. They donāt get to screw over their players and the people who made Valko and loved him like he was their child. I took a moment to process things and now Iām gonna keep fighting harder than before.
Silent Whispers isn't the savior of this whole situation.
I don't understand why so many people are acting like everyone is suddenly going to abandon Love and Deepspace and switch over.
First of all, Archosaur is also a Chinese company. There's no guarantee that what happened with Valko couldn't happen to one of their own love interests after launch. If the game becomes successful enough, it could end up facing the same restrictions. After everything that's happened, why would players who had to leave behind their main in Love and Deepspace want to risk going through the exact same thing again with another Chinese otome game?
I also don't think it's realistic to expect people who have spent years building an emotional attachment to their favorite character to simply transfer that attachment to an entirely different game and immediately trust another company.
There's also been speculation that some of this controversy may have indirectly benefited Archosaur by pushing disappointed players toward their upcoming game. Whether that's true or not, it's just speculation, but it's something people have been discussing.
And finally, Silent Whispers hasn't even been released yet. Based on everything we've seen so far, I seriously doubt it will be able to match Love and Deepspace in terms of storytelling, production value, character writing, or visuals at least not for another three or four years, if ever.
Would more competition in the 3D genre be a good thing? Absolutely. But the Valko situation is much more complicated than simply saying, "Just play another game." Personally, I hope a strong non-Chinese studio one that isn't subject to the same government restrictions can eventually step in and fill the void for players who are looking for a long term alternative.
Neon light bled through the rain slicked glass of the high rise lounge, painting the room in fractured reds and cold blues. Outside, the city hummed like a living thing, dangerous, beautiful, indifferent.
Inside, Sylus stood by the floor to ceiling window with a glass he hadnāt touched in a while. He looked⦠calm. As always. But there was something sharp in the stillness tonight. Like a storm deciding whether or not to break.
Behind him, the doors opened without announcement. A familiar presence. He didnāt turn right away. āā¦Youāre late,ā he said at last. āOr did you just miss the part where I told you not to keep me waiting?ā
Then he finally glanced over his shoulder, those red eyes catching the light like embers. And just like that, the air shifted. He always did that without trying. A faint smirk touched his lips as he set the glass down. āI was beginning to think youād gotten lost,ā he added. "Or worse⦠decided not to come.ā
He pushed off the window slowly, finally facing you fully. āTell me,ā Sylus murmured, stepping closer with unhurried confidence, āwhich one is it?ā
