Developer Log - April 2024

Hey heartbreakers~!
Due to a massive hard drive failure that lost a whole update's worth of progress, I've been working on rebuilding lost assets and reprogramming lost progress.
It's almost done, and I plan to get back to work on the Befriend update (which still has a lot left to do) as soon as I'm free & able.
I've also created more character artwork and expanded the Heartbreaker wiki.
The wiki is here: https://abyzouverse.fandom.com/wiki/Heartbreaker:_The_Visual_Novel

Some people may know that I also create some NSFW art on my side-Twitter, @AbyzouAD.
I've been thinking of creating some NSFW Heartbreaker stuff to hopefully help fund the game's development.
HOWEVER - I'm aware some people may not want to see that stuff, so what I would do is create separate "AD" tiers, that provide the same benefits as the normal ones but also grant access to NSFW posts, so nobody else will have to see them.

I've also finally begun pursuing my interest in short horror / creepypasta narration, starting with my first upload:

I may begin posting early-access uploads here to provide more bang for your buck.

In addition, I've released a free side-game I call "Heartbreaker: Starcross".
It's a 2-player card game, a mod for Tabletop Simulator, which you can get on the Steam Workshop:

Starcross is based on Triple Triad rules, but expanded to have a larger board, a class system, and multiple game modes.
The cards are all based on characters from Heartbreaker, and more will be added as the main game's development continues.
Please leave some feedback in the Steam comments so I can work on improving Starcross~

Thank you all for your patience and continued support.
