HAHA I did it.

God that was horrible. I have that much more respect for people who do Game Jams regularly.

This was just a toe dip in what I plan to do. I just paused my other projects to do this to get something done and out into the world. To see how it feels and what I can learn from doing a game jam. Which I recommend if you're starting out solo game dev like me.

I'm going to be participating in NaNoRenO 2024 and using this poll I did last year as the basic concept. I need to get better at actually putting something out and this shall be the experiment. This is the premise I came up with.

You are the new bartender at the town's busiest hot spot, The Thirst Trap, where everyone loves to go to get a refreshing beverage at anytime of day. It's your first day and you're overwhelmed by all the gorgeous customers sitting at the bar. Try not to mess up their drinks though!

Progress updates to come during the month!

You know whats what, reblog or comment, do whatever. I had a rough day and maybe ill make the top 4 into an actual dating sim. I have the capability

Once a year, Punxsutawney Phil crawls out of a hole in the ground to tell you how far away Spring is. Not long after, sake-bento also crawls out of a hole in the ground to tell you how far away NaNoRenO is. And the answer is: SOON.

NaNoRenO 2024 starts March 1st. Join the annual game jam where you make a visual novel from scratch in a month!

DEV LOG: 2023 Recap!

We wanted to post this update at the end of Dec, but time got away from us! We have a lot to look back at in 2023...

❁ We released Trouble Comes Twice!

We're very proud to have released our first game as a studio!

There were some rough patches, so we are forever thankful for the support from our players, backers, patrons, family, friends, and the talented freelancers who helped this project become more than just a dream.

Although we couldn't be more grateful for the positive reception, we're also noting down feedback and criticism for future projects. We're confident that our experiences working on TCT will help us make even better games in the future!

❁ Trouble Comes Twice: Bonus Stories!

Trouble Comes Twice: Bonus Stories is a DLC we've been working on for the past months and it's also going to be our last major public update to the game before we bid goodbye to these characters.

This DLC isn't a sequel or anything major, it's more like a collection of short bonus stories (hence the name) so it'll be relatively inexpensive. We mostly recommend it to players interested in more than one of the couples, that way you'll get the most out of the content! We don't dare to promise an exact release day yet, but we're currently wrapping up coding and should begin testing before the month's up. So probaaaably February for the release?

❁ Burn the Midnight Oil

Towards the end of 2023, early production began on our next visual novel Burn the Midnight Oil. You can catch a small sneak peek at two of the six romance options above.

Starring vampires, demons and other horrors of the night - it's a supernatural neo-noir romance drama set in a fictionalized version of 80s England. The player steps into the shoes of the vengeful private detective Circe, a vampire infamous for hunting her own kind and the reluctant cop Dante, a short-tempered half-demon torn between his human side and the world of the supernatural.

We're excited for everyone to meet Circe, Dante and the rest of the cast when we officially announce this project later this year!

❁ Plans for 2024

We have a handful of goals for 2024, some bigger than others.

★ Releasing the DLC for Trouble Comes Twice!

★ Burn the Midnight Oil Announcement + Kickstarter

★ Other things and secrets...?

Thank you for an amazing 2023 and here's to a great 2024! ✨

Hey sweaties,

I'm Silk and this will be the official dev log for all projects currently under development by me. I am a single dev team with hopes to grow but for now I am the sole artist, writer and coder. I have a full time job and am new to writing so I'm slow going but I like doing it.

I'm developing a few visual novel games that are in various stages of pre-dev that I will be sharing on here and post updates on as they go.

I'm also here because my previous devlog was on Twitter and we all know where that's going.

Here's a few of my games currently in development!

Chimera is planned to be a bigger project broken up into different games. For now it is a point and click adventure game in the visual novel style.

The story follows a private detective, on a mission to find a missing person who's case had been dropped by the local authorities. The mission thrusts you into the range of the local organized crime underworld. While undercover as a housekeeper at a luxury hotel, you will have to navigate the other workers, the pompous guests, and this guy who's trying to break in that claims he's a vampire.

That's what I said, Vampire. Yeah, there's going to be monsters in this game. This concept spawned from my desire to date monsters but it evolved into a bigger project.

Once, in a Dream is planned to be a free to play game I devised while I practiced coding an in depth routes system in Ren'Py.

You play as the Ole Lukøje, aka the Sandman, whose purpose in life is to grant the children dreams while they sleep. Though you travel to many worlds, you can only exist in one of the mind. On your journey you meet 3 peculiar little girls; two who are trapped in an endless slumber and can forever dream, and another who dreams of never growing up, and somehow gets her wish...without you.

This last one is only one concept art deep but I like it enough to make real. Furry dating sim where you're the child of a newly elected politician and are thusly now involved in the intergalactic politics of everyone else. Will you keep the peace or pursue your own interests?

Working title is Star Furs, aka all the star fox fan fiction i never wrote down.

I'll be posting more about each project as it goes but if you like any of these, I hope you'll enjoy following my development of them. Feel free to ask me questions.
