As promised, we're *back* in February.

I told myself I'd spend January recovering from the long development of "Garden of Roses" and our other title, but I just ended up working on a bunch of things behind the scenes.

This week we present the fourth musical track from "Garden of Roses," composed by Irene-chan, titled "Blood-Red Thorns." A dark secret lurks in Edelton, wrapping its tentacles around everyone involved.

In other news, we've partnered with a marketer and begun our ad campaign for "Garden of Roses"! They will be helping us organize and launch the KickStarter after the demo release, as well, and there may be further developments thereafter. There's a few more things we're working on, but at the moment it's still too early to discuss.

We'll be happy to explain as soon as we're able.

Given the nature of the things we're currently juggling, we may be cutting back to biweekly updates for a short time. As always, we appreciate your patience.

Hello monster-enjoyers.

This is the last SubscribeStar post of the year! After this we'll be taking a small bit of time off to get our ducks in a row, preparing for some infrastructure we hope to launch in the coming year and checking some boxes (as well as just recovering from pre-release exhaustion, in general).

This post is going up a bit earlier than usual, since we assume some people will be dropping off later this week to travel for the holidays.

Garden of Roses

We're going to be spending the entire month of January getting things ready for the "Garden of Roses" demo (and preparing the relevant Steam and Itch.io pages). Another track will be uploaded to the Youtube channel before the demo is complete, so stay tuned.

The demo is slated to be released early 2023, with the full game being completed by 3Q-4Q 2023 if costs go as expected.

An Unannounced IP

We have another IP being developed next year, as well. We can't say much about it at this stage, but it features a new dog girl and a new main character, and is illustrated by TUS ("Seeds of Paradise," "Backdoor Divas (Helga)"). You'll want to have some Kleenex handy for this one.

A Change in Distribution Method

Starting 2023 and onward, our story-heavy games are going to be distributed on Steam in a SFW format with 18+ patches you'll be able to find on our website and official Discord. We've been talking with other developers, and for our IPs that are story-heavy/porn-lite this makes a bit more sense, as it prevents heavy-handed interference with the content. Of course, if you'd rather play the SFW version anyway that's completely fine too.

However, as always, you'll be able to get the spicy version on Itch.io right away (which also will come with the Steam key). The 18+ patches *will not cost extra money*. The reason for separating them is more convenient releases, nothing more.

Kickstarter(?)

I've had a lot of people express an interested in KickStarting "Garden of Roses." While I can't say a ton about this, either, I can say that I'm in talks with some people who have way more experience with this than any of us do.

"Garden of Roses" will be completed in due time, and a platform like KickStarter could potentially help us accelerate the process as well as bring some bonus goodies to the table. Right now I'm a bit unsure of which way we'll go, there.

Thanks for your continued support. We've done our best to give you a weekly update and keep you all in the loop, so please bare with us while we cross some i's and dot some t's and just rest up in general.

Bonus Illustration

Merry Christmas to all of you! Did we mention Sylvie's Bar is doing a holiday special? Why bring a boring box of coffee to the office party when you can bring in the services of one of Sylvie Bernard's top monster girls, Ruse de la Cruz? Everyone can have a white Christmas, for sure.

This piece is done by one our occasional contributors, Marb. Check out his content, here.

Thanks so much for your support! We'll see you in 2023!

Hello monster-enjoyers.

Pardon our dust. Things have been complicated, and we've been working hard behind the scenes to get things moving on several fronts.

If you follow us on social media (seriously, you should be) you've probably already discovered this but this week we've released a beautiful new track titled "Summerset." This is composed by the talented Irene-chan, who's done the other music tracks in the OST.

We're going to be taking a break shortly as we prepare the "Garden of Roses" demo and hopefully get ready for some announcements we'll be making in 2023. As always we appreciate your patience.

Hello monster enjoyers.

Another week, another bit of progress on "Garden of Roses."

We're combing through the demo and implementing sound design. There's still music that needs to be made and some SFX that needs some fine-tuning.

We're now partnered with SinicalAnimeNetwork! Feel free to check them out, they're very kind to give us a boost.

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

HELLO MONSTER-ENJOYERS.

The day is finally here--the release of "Slay the Dragon!" There's a few notes to be made, but for the most part this post is simply to keep you in the know that we've finally completed it. The game can be found here.

Note: To avoid confusion with another indie game titled "Slay the Dragon!" which we only learned of a few weeks ago (we won't be making that mistake again) we decided to modify the title slightly  to "Slay the Dragon! Taming the Fire-Breathing Brat". Sorry for the trouble.

We're working on the mobile version already, and you may soon see it appear on other platforms...

Thanks for following us on this journey. We hope you enjoy. We've got plenty more where this came from.
