Falling in Love with Danger

Good evening, vampire hunters.

Chubbo has baked some sweet-tasting doughnuts to scatter across a rose-covered section of the cherry blossom garden for adventurers craving a delectable pastry to find. A young preteen couple, Pierre and Gregor, that has sought time alone from prying eyes have taken notice of one stuck in a rose bush. They share just about any dish they find with each other, but one wasn't enough to savor so they decided that it wouldn't hurt to stay a little longer to find a plateful. KawaiiPixelArts has caught a glimpse of a few of the doughnuts hidden in the garden herself and joins in on the hunt both to teach the inexperienced couple how to detect the aggressive knights patrolling the section and replenish her own healing supplies.

Micheala's detour through Lionhead Mansion's ballroom to look for Einsam is anything but sweet and besides coping with a gut instinct that Zahak has ill intentions for him, being in a hall commonly used for parties brings her back to a time she got stood up at a theater. The ballroom is crawling with phantoms and bats and since her will to protect herself is greater than her frustration, extinguishing them might help her get it out of her system.

Likewise, designing this section of Chapter 2 brings me back to when I included her in my "A Series of Unfortunate Events" fanfic illustration that recreates The Marvelous Marriage. She was stood up at the theater where the play was performed, but ended up staying in the hope that Count Olaf's cringe acting would take her mind off her heartbreak. The illustration is obviously not canon, but before the events of Son of a Hustler, she was forsaken by her love interests twice. One never showed up to a theater where they'd promise to meet and the second drove her to fake her death and leave her life far behind. Her path would lead her to the mansion and eventually to Einsam. She hopes that protecting him will help her to find her purpose again. And you can guide her on that path as Son of a Hustler progresses.

Thank you for supporting the series as always and we hope March treats you well. :)

Sincerely,

WN

Transitioning to a Spring Filled with Adventure

Good morning, vampire hunters.

The rabid were-bunnies were not yet ready to come out of hiding (Is that good or bad?), but Ruiseart, Irene, and Edmund are taking caution as they assess the area in Dracula’s botanical garden where they were last seen. Their only clue is the spears lodged into the walls. Irene takes notice that one is pulsing with a type of earth magic that causes predatory thoughts to seep into its user’s mind. Like stone, were creatures have an unmatched fury that if left unchecked has led to the downfall of ancient civilizations and have slain innocent lives. From Irene gathered, she believed that Dracula unleashed a pack of were-bunnies on a countryside village celebrating Easter Sunday. The holy day is looked upon as a beacon of hope in a time where civilization itself has fallen into disarray. With no order in the mortal nations since Dracula’s last defeat, he intended to capitalize on it by wiping out the remains of any resistance against his regime whether or not his coven is directly threatened. With little concern for the group’s safety, Ruiseart decides to bring to spears back to camp. Laius is sure to know something about how an enriching weapon can force its user to forgot who they were. Gulping, he prays that his older brother has listened to Angela. It’s not the first time he has been brash when the wisdom of an elder conflicts with his own beliefs and infiltrating the Dark Lord’s castle is hardly the time and place for that. Ruiseart jumps toward the spear and dislodges it from the wall with a single arm. He turns to leave the garden and the kids follow him out not realizing they were seconds away from company with the spear’s owners. Photo by LoboStudio Hamburg on Unsplash.

Check out the roadside sections in Chapter 4. Frederick and Eforie may be too young to drive, but they recognize that an asphalt road is no different than a dirt path. Might Clément be nearby? It seems, though, their quest may be briefly leading them back to the mortal world.

Chapter 2 of The Flower that Blooms in Red (Westley’s Version) and Son of a Hustler respectively will be in the works after the release of this installment for Waltz of Sepulchral Silence Book 1.

Thank you for supporting the series as always and we hope you have a good Sunday.

Happy belated Easter,

WN

Reflecting on a Fallen Friend During a Gloomy April

Good evening, vampire hunters.

On Easter Sunday, Tobias, Ioana and her otter companion, Gani had traveled to a cross in the remote highlands in the Conifers Kingdom to visit the grave of a historian that dedicated his life to preserving documents of an ancient civilization ruled by machines. A long time ago in Ioana's childhood before she joined Frederick’s band of heroes, she came to be acquainted with this man at her mother’s cafe while he was waiting for her to pour his cappuccino. Ioana asked why he was interested in this type of coffee and his answer was that it was a popular drink in this civilization. Coffee beans were once cultivated in this industrious society and since it valued hard work in a time where an intergalactic empire plotted to wipe it out, there was little room for rest. Ioana wondered how a civilization with state-of-the-art technology could not flourish into the twenty-first century. The historian wished to find answers and one day open a museum for astronomers to study in once his research is complete. Ioana traveled with him for a year and a half to locate surviving pieces of computers before he embarked on an expedition in Florida. Every day, she would ask her mother about him in the hope he’d stop by the café again and her answer was always, “He’s a wanderer that has seen different worlds. He’ll be okay.” One Halloween night, Ioana came by the café after trick-or-treating and she found her distraught mother reading a letter that the historian sent her. She approached her and asked her usual question. Her mother said nothing and handed her the letter. The historian was chased by the Veiled Nocturne and had been captured minutes after he delivered the letter through a portal small enough to fit his hand. His fate remained unknown, but rumors that circulated through the town the next day hinted that Dracula had him sentenced to death. It is said that he discovered a secret that he did not want his enemies to uncover and keeping him as one of the unliving would be too big of a risk. The only object Ioana had kept to remember her time with the historian was a hand-sized mechanism used to predict the appearance of constellations and eclipses. She had found it in a swamp on the outskirts of Vireo City.

Thinking back to that painful night, Ioana shed a tear while stroking Gani’s back. She regretted her inability to save this historian from meeting such a tragic end even though she was too powerless to step in without risking her own life. She vowed that in his memory, she will locate remnants of the fallen civilization in her travels so that the magical sector can learn from its downfall and stand up to the Veiled Nocturne. If they allow Dracula to conquer London, the light will burn out like a lone candle in an empty room and all that has made the world of magic a wondrous place will be lost. Ioana gives the cross a sad smile and gives Gani a kiss. She whispers to him, “We can complete his work...It will be hard, but we’re going to have lots of fun. I promise.” She and Tobias walks down a hilltop to a river bank where Frederick and the group have set up camp. Cronix looks on as she leaves and nods his head with a smile on his face. Like Ioana, he knew the historian well. Photo by Philippe Bout on Unsplash.

A big thank you goes to KawaiiPixelArts for the baby chick that found a home at the gravesite.

Happy Easter Month!

Sincerely, WN

Good evening, vampire hunters.

It was Gelliewich’s lucky day when he stumbled across two pots of gold during a stroll through the highlands surrounding Galicia. Thinking that he hit the jackpot, he stuffs his pockets with the riches he could carry. But when there are lone pots of gold, there’s a huge chance a group of leprechauns have set up camp inches away because no one just leaves a cluster of gold coins free for the taking. Just as soon as Gelliewich filled his pockets, Pwcca stands behind him with his wand handy, threatening to take the optimist hostage. His group has cornered July and an earth mage fifteen minutes prior and though they’re putting up a good fight, a lone leprechaun has them outmatched. The mage’s novice sorcery could not topple his opponent’s aggressive slashes and wolf-like thrusts. Gelliewich smiles, arms himself with a gilded sword he brought with him, and knocks Pwcca to the ground. If there’s anything he loves more than riches beyond his wildest imagination, it’s a good fight. The earth mage, noticing that the battle gained a participant fighting for him in July, gets the confidence to launch a boulder the size of his fist at the leprechaun, bringing him to his knees. Pwcca stands up and raises his wand toward Gelliewich just as the mage ran to his side. It won’t be a short St. Patty’s Day battle, but have you ever known Gelliewich to complain? ;) Photo by Dmitrii Shirnin on Unsplash.

We’ve made some final changes to The Heliotrope Chronicles Book 1: Scars of the Past. The hub world has gotten an expansion to include interactions with Frederick’s compatriots and a new area to make room for a tribute to my late brother painted by my sister. These interactions may not spoil much of Episode 4, but it is recommended to play through the previous levels before exploring the new hub. Siegfried Croes has carved a handful of diamond-shaped gems for you to find in order to enrich your gaming experience. They’ve been previously added to Son of a Hustler Book 1 to challenge your platforming skills and we plan to add them in future updates to older installments. Photo by Jonathan Larson on Unsplash.

Hang on! We’re not finished with The Heliotrope Chronicles Book 1!

That’s correct. Frederick and co. still have much to do in Baudelaire City before they flee the country. Unfortunately, the game’s executable has become too big to fit the upcoming levels and as a result, it takes a while longer for it to run. To ensure that it won’t overload your PC’s memory, we decided to split The Heliotrope Chronicles Book 1 and larger installments currently in development into four-episode volumes. Volume I may have concluded and it ended on a good note, but there'll be plenty of time in Volume II give the Veiled Nocturne a swift kick in the rear.

Thank you for supporting the Heliotrope Journey series as always and we hope you enjoy this new hub. :)

Sincerely,

WN

A Light in the Dark Times Ahead

Good evening, vampire hunters.

Just in time for Women's History Month, Episode 2 of Heliotrope Journey: Son of a Hustler is out now! As Michaela ventures deeper in Lionhead Mansion's paranormal-infested corridors, she encounters not a single boss enemy but two more in an attempt to locate Einsam, a child estranged from his father but for reasons she cannot put her finger on. Zahhak says he is a troublemaker skipping school, but Michaela's instincts argue different. Showing these bosses that she is no combatant to mess with will be the best step toward finding out which she should trust. Will you have the courage to see this ride? Photo by Caleb Maxwell on Unsplash. https://darkinfern0crystal1.itch.io/heliotrope-journey-son-of-a-hustler-book-1-acceptance-of-agony

The hub world in The Heliotrope Chronicles Book 1 Volume I will be given an update in the spring along with a new set of gems by Siegfried Croes to collect to encourage exploration. The game's hub will reflect the outcome of Episode 4 by featuring Frederick's teammates as NPCs as well as a garden in the castle ruins to immerse yourself with, celebrate the memory of the most powerful thing in the universe, and play ballads of emotional grievances that block the healing process. If you haven't played Chapter 4 already, be sure to catch up before this update goes live because these changes will spoil the ending of that episode. These sneaky-peekies of the hub world probably shouldn't. ;)

Thank you for supporting the Heliotrope Journey series as always and have a great week.

Sincerely,

WN

Three for One Special in Son of a Hustler's Book 1 Episode 2

Good evening, vampire hunters.

Chapter 2 in Heliotrope Journey: Son of a Hustler Book 1 will feature not one, but three bosses. Two are miniature bosses Michaela encounters to acquire her first weapon enchanted by dark magic and save a magically gifted child’s life. This episode is more ambitious than I planned for it to be so we’ll need more time to produce it. Photo by Belper Unitarians on Unsplash.

These bosses have been added to set the mood for the game’s macabre theme, but more importantly, they’re to showcase Michaela as a driven heroine that chooses to stay alive to defend the weak. She has built a tolerance to death lurking around her and she was fine with the community she left behind thinking she’s dead, but it pains her more to see a child on the brink of it.

Thank you for supporting the Heliotrope Journey series as usual and have a great rest of your week!

Sincerely,

WN

Finding a Dimming Guiding Light

Good evening, vampire hunters.

This section of the sky garden is now looking lively with a loadbearing column from KawaiiPixelArts, but remember not to occupy too much of your time sightseeing. Better have a sharp object with you just in case.

This September in Heliotrope Journey lore marks Michaela’s decision to give up the life she had and go on the run. If you haven’t played the first episode of Son of a Hustler yet, there’s still time to catch up before we touch on the next chapter.

Formerly employed as a Grade 7-12 English teacher that taught for a year, Michaela thought she had her life figured out; the job pays well, her imaginative approaches in her lessons captivate both student and staff alike, and she's dating a single father of her star pupil. So where did it all go wrong? How is she at rock bottom? Three weeks into the 2023-2024 school year, a scandalous brawl occurred in the library where Michaela tutored her lover’s son and the next day, she was called to the principal’s office moments before she entered her classroom. It didn’t take long for her to figure out why when she caught a glimpse of a Massachusetts state police car in the parking lot. Her lover and an officer were speaking to each other in front of the vehicle and Michaela gasped. She dropped her folders on the floor and quietly left the school through the back door. Eyewitnesses in Amelie last saw her walking past an apple orchard and into the forest, never to be seen again.

Michaela hiked for what felt everlasting. She was hungry and her fingers were growing cold as she saw less of the sun. She couldn’t just rest nor could she keep wearing her clothes. She got out an arrowhead knife she took with her and trimmed her hair in the shape of a bob cut. Michaela dressed a rotting body in her clothes and pushed it down a smaller river leading to the Housatonic in case anyone is still looking for her. She discovered a cluster of corpses left out in the open the second she turned around. Repulsed by the sight, she nearly gagged, but she held her breath and disrobed the bodies. She washed their clothes in the river before putting them on. Though still famished, Michaela felt warmer. Maybe it’s the thought of being forgotten that eased her troubles for now. She felt brand new and she could certainly find a home in another town, but it needed to be far. Where could she go? How should she know? What matters to her is that she must go as far away from her old life as possible. She stumbled across Lionhead Mansion after finding a field bathed in a twilight glow. She could see there were a few cars in the dirt road behind the old building, but none that she recognized.

Michaela made her way past the destroyed dining hall that once hosted a graduation party and opened the front door. She paid what little money she had left to stay the night and went upstairs to locate her room. It seemed odd that the front desk lacked a means for customers to pay with their cards, but she did not give it much thought. To use her credit card would draw unwanted attention and from now on, she would have to scavenge for money. She reached her room and jumped on her bed fully clothed. Subconsciously, Michaela thought of her brother, her parents, the man that used his son to string her along, and how the school administration is reacting to her disappearance. Her heart ached, but she could not cry. She could not feel sorry for the people that believe her dead. They hurt her after all. It’s better to save them the trouble of seeing her suffer for their amusement. The sound of a great horned owl hooting and the blustery wind sent her into a deep sleep. Michaela felt alone in her dreams at last. She wanted to keep it that way, but a vampire that entered her room and slammed the door behind him denied her that peace. She killed that beast in human form before he satisfied his bloodlust. Michaela realized that she cannot make it to morning. If she continued to lay in bed, another probably will kill her. She grabbed her arrowhead knife and left the room, marking a beginning of a nightmare she will never wake up from. Son of a Hustler’s Book 1: Agony of Acceptance is about coming to terms with the realization that when you really, really mess up, nothing can be done to take it back, yet you still have to go on because you won’t learn your lesson if you let that mistake define you. Sometimes that means saying goodbye to lifelong friends and giving up a career path entirely in favor of another. Crossing paths with Einsam for the first time teaches Michaela that it’s never too late to start over. She’s too stoic and malefic to care if she takes a life, but she’s not above self-awareness when she’s looking out for him.

Updates to merchandise featuring her and Frederick will be released over the weekend on my Society6 store. Thank you for supporting the series as always and have a great week. :)

Sincerely,

WN

April Showers Bring Green Beanstalks

Good evening, vampire hunters.

Our Easter ad for this year will be delayed to the end of the month. Much of our schedule is spent on developing Chapter 4 in Waltz of Sepulchral Silence while new assets for The Heliotrope Chronicles and Son of a Hustler are in the works. Luckily, Sidiyq Qadim is redesigning an old weapon that you'll expect to see in The Heliotrope Chronicles when its fourth chapter rolls out. We haven't come up with a good name yet, but I'm leaning towards Poisoned Axe (Sidiyq's Version). ;) He might disagree, though!

Chapter 4 in Waltz of Sepulchral Silence will introduce ladders our heroes can climb to access areas that are normally out-of-reach. KawaiiPixelArts did a wonderful job planting the beanstalks needed to make that happen. Chains, waterfalls, and actual ladders will come next depending on the locations in future levels. Our heroes have a fear of heights so they will experience a brief loss of gravity and a skip upon leading. Photo by Michael Krahn on Unsplash.

No sign of Clément quite yet, but we'll scour the new area until we do. Thank you for supporting the series as always and we hope you have a great weekend.

Sincerely,

WN

Good evening, vampire hunters.

Sidiyq Qadim and his travel companion traveled to the cherry blossom garden to have a day to themselves and enjoy each other’s company. Two of the Eros Guardians, who waited for them since last year, had other plans for them. They approached the boys and offered them each a complimentary piece of heart-shaped candy mixed with the enriching lotus fruit. The travel companion, Thomas, chewed on the piece and fell into a drowsy-like trance. He tugged Sidiyq’s shirt and told him that he wants to stay forever. Concerned, Sidiyq said he wasn’t hungry and that they only wanted to come just for one day. The offended Eros Guardians drew out their axes and cornered him, stating that Thomas isn’t complaining about their offer and why would anyone want to leave the cherry blossom garden? Love is in the air, it’s spring all year around, the garden is so peaceful, and there’s not a trace of black magic to be found… or is there? Sidiyq spots an incubus that looks suspiciously like Frederick fly toward him. Smirking, he teases the shocked boy by stating that if he doesn’t want Thomas, he will gladly claim him as his own while stroking his hair. Sidiyq draws his lance and slashes it at the incubus, instigating a fight. The sight of his companion’s weapon snaps Thomas out of the trance the candy put him in and thus, is hounded by the Eros Guardians to have another one. The boy draws his own sword out and swings it at one of the guardians, knocking him out before the second charges at him. Battling a few of the Dark Lord’s coercive minions was not what Sidiyq and Thomas had in mind for their Valentine’s Day, though if they can help each other escape the garden without getting doped up on the lotus-flavored candy, they’re content with the time they’re spending together. Photo by Ruby Doan on Unsplash.

In Chapter 4 of The Heliotrope Chronicles, you will meet July. She is the landlady of The Sunny Tavern and can brew a delicious dragonfruit beverage. If you want one blended in a refresher or to flavor calming tea served in the lounge, she’s got you covered. ;)

You won’t see the tavern open its doors to the public in Waltz of Sepulchral Silence until Frederick and Eforie find Clément. He gets along famously with July and the pair shared stories about their days in Baudelaire City. Without the little red hairball to give her something to look forward to at the end of each work day, July feels empty. What’s worse is that the village will be counting on her to provide shelter when it’s no longer safe to stay home at night. The Sunny Tavern is one of the most secure buildings in Baudelaire City so rooms may be limited to even our heroes.

Thank you for playing Heliotrope Journey as always and we look forward to what March has in store for us.

Sincerely,

WN
