Alastor’s eyes dilate whenever he’s with his female friends his eyes also was dilated during his verse in stayed gone when Vox jumped at him do what you want with this

this reads like something deer nonny would put in my inbox just to torment me

honestly vivz and the team probably didnt mean anything by it but im taking it as confirmation that vox and al had affection for each other at some point and the breaking off of their relationship (<-not necessarily romantic) resulted in both of them adopting drastically different ways with coping w the loss. both of them are coping Equally horribly and the whole of hell probably awaits the day the radio and tv demon make out with tongue

What IS wheel of doom. What happens to them..

It's my take on a redemption round! After every main bracket round, we cut to the Wheel of Doom, where the losers are randomly assigned an opponent. If you win your round, you move on to the next. If you lose your round, you are permanently eliminated. The ending prize for the last loser standing is a slot in the Finals, against the 2 Semifinals winners

Howdy Tierra! I've played the Sea of Stars Demo and I LOVED IT. I have a question tho, when the romance points decrease is actually cause you suck at seducing the RO or cause it's a different way of romancing them? thank youu

Why does Checl’s romance decrease whenever we choose options which lead to flirting, like saying she just wants to get her hands on us or asking if that’s embarrassment we see? Is it a bug or does she not like it when we do that? If it’s the later then how do we increase the romance? * * *

Firstly this can be found in FAQ. Again, go there before you send me an ask like this. Please and thank you.

Proof

I do not punish in romance. I do not punish in romance.

Please, I beg you guys. Stop sending asks like this. 100% I will get more asks.

I do not punish in romance.

Just like Superstition, just like ToA, just like this game, minus points is literally just another route. Romance is still romance you just get different traits. And no, one trait is not better than another. Checl positive is her just being sheltered and having a positive outlook and following her dreams, Checl negative is her being more confident and hardened but she's no longer all sunshine. See, one isn't better than the other.

This is on par with that "my gender is *insert here* but people keep referring to me as "insert pronoun* Like, I don't know what else you want me to tell you besides you didn't read and the words Choose Pronouns didn't strike you to tap.

This is a PSA that this is going to be my last time answering questions like this. Anyone in the future will be deleted.

Hey, just found out about you and think this sounds really interesting. I was just wondering though, why only two female routes? While I'm grateful they're there, it just seems extremely uneven with 4 male (Should I include Envy? Because that makes it 5 instead) so I was wondering what the though process is behind that.

Hey there anon! 💜 Thank you for your question!

The thought process is nothing else than "marketability", which may sound awful, but it is what it is.

"Otome" or romance visual novel players are generally attracted to male or male presenting characters; it's the wide majority of the audience. I have rarely seen any female love interest in games made by the huge "otome" companies, as "otome" means a female MC surrounded by male LIs. (We of course are excluding wlw / yuri visual novels here.)

There's a lot of indie games that have the same uneveness when it comes to the cast, and in our case it merely has to do with this being our first game and wanting it to appeal to the vast majority of potential players, while still making some things "our way". We didn't want to have a male-only cast (which is completely fine, that is what an otome is), and of course things could be more balanced, but having seven characters for our first game is already a risk we took.

I could say that no, there's no real motive behind the 2 vs "5", but the truth is there is. The majority are more interested in men / male presenting characters. If you check our favorite character poll, Ara and Raeya are way behind the others.

If I remember correctly, even The Arcana (which may be one of the most successful indie amare / romance visual novels of all times) had trouble with Portia's route as the audience was not as interested in her as they were on the male LIs.

There obviously are people interested in female LIs (me and my team included), but truth is they don't thrive as much as the male / male presenting in the kind of game we are making, which is sad, but it's a reality nonetheless.

I'm sure this is not the answer you wanted, anon, but it is the most honest we can give. That being said, there's a lot of creators out there and games full of interesting, well-written female love interests, and we hope we can be counted as one of them when the time comes! 💜

Hi if you don't mind i would like to know if you know of any beauty physical spells if you can't recommend one? Thank you

Hi darling 🥰

Thank you for your question 💕

Here's a simple spell I like to use that incorporates both physical and inner beauty:

You'll need:

💖 (Small) mirror

💖 A pink or red candle - Pink resembles self-love and beauty, whereas red symbolises a more passionate love as well as quick action. You can also use a white (pure) candle charged with your intention.

💖 Rose petals or rose oil - symbolising self-love.

💖 Your favorite moisturiser or face cream.

💖 (Optional) Rose Quartz - symbolising beauty and self-love.

Begin by lighting the candle and placing it next to the mirror. Take a few deep breaths and focus on positive thoughts about yourself and your inner beauty. Then, using the rose petals or rose oil, anoint the mirror with the symbol of a heart. While you do this, visualize the love and positivity you have for yourself radiating outwards. Finally, use your moisturizer or face cream to gently massage your face, focusing on the parts you love most about yourself. As you do this, say a positive affirmation about your inner and outer beauty. Use this affirmation or make your own:

"As I feel my skin,

I call upon my beauty and my power.

With the (rose quartz) as my guide,

I radiate confidence and love.

May my inner beauty shine through,

And my outer beauty reflect my truth.

So mote it be."

After you do this, you can also sit for a few minutes holding the item of relevance to you such as a rose quartz crystal in your hand and focus on your intention to enhance your beauty and feel confident in your own skin.

I would always recommend leaving the candle to burn all the way (this consolidates your spell to completion). However, if it is a very large candle or you cannot leave it out to burn safely, that’s alright - when you're ready, pinch out the candle (this pauses your spell until you want to relight the candle and ‘continue’ it, as opposed to blowing out candles which effectively cancels it out).

You can additionally carry the rose quartz (or other item used) with you throughout the day as a reminder of your beauty and power 🌹✨

Remember, true beauty comes from within, and it's important to practice self-love and acceptance. Use this spell as a way to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence, but always remember that you are beautiful just the way you are.

I hope this helps, and remember to always love and appreciate yourself for who you are 💕

Hi!! Do u have any plans on future games/projects, aside from DLC? Super curious as your writing is so delicious and I honestly binged the game playing the whole day from morning to evening, I also followed your scrumptious game since demo and was so so so happy when it was released! Best of luck on your endeavours, you and super cool people who were commissioned to do VA and art are AMAZING! ❤️❤️ Thank you for you hard work!!!

Hi! Thank you so much for the sweet message, kind anon 🥺💖 I'm always so happy to hear from players who enjoyed Emberfate! Thank you so much for following me on the whole journey from the game jam to the end too! 💖

My next game release should be Reanimation Scheme, a commercial ($29.99-ish) fantasy otome visual novel! It was actually supposed to be my studio's debut project, but I ran into development issues that delayed the schedule a lot 🥹 But the game should be completed and ready for release later this year!

You can find more information about the project and wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1520740/Reanimation_Scheme/

I should warn you though that the style of RS is pretty different from Emberfate and is a lot closer to "traditional" otome visual novels. The MC is a defined character of her own with flaws and anti-heroine traits, and it's a lot more plot-heavy and less choice-heavy compared to Emberfate. So the style of writing is rather different as well.

I do also have other projects lined up for development after Reanimation Scheme is released, but I won't be making public announcements until then (so around late 2023 maybe) as I haven't started working on the scripts yet, so many details are still up in the air. So be sure to follow this Tumblr for more news that'll come later this year if you enjoy my work! 👀

Thank you so much again 💖

1 - how many f/os do you have?

3 - who are/is your main(s)?

7 - how did you meet them?

:3

-Ren

1 - how many f/os do you have?

Quite a lot, but a lot of them never get any love from me so idk if I should count them.

So roughly between 40 and 100

3 - who are/is your main(s)?

I've currently got 6 mains again. Which are Nebulae/Devlin, Belphie, Ichi, Cove, Qiu and Kaoru. I used to have Shion as a main as well, but I demoted him since I don't think about him as much anymore.

I started this blog when I only had Kaoru as a main. And slowly as interests shifted and rekindled the others came to occupy a big part of my love too.

For the main amongst my mains, that would be Nebu, since he's an oc fo and I feel like nobody could ever replace him.

7 - how did you meet them?

Meta answer: sort of:

Kaoru was while I was in middle school somewhere, I think. I was generally into romcoms already and this one was just, amazing to watch. I soon read the manga for it too and just absolutely fell in love with Kaoru (I also really loved twin characters so that was a win too). Belphie was during the moment the game just released, I was getting so many ads for it and upon seeing Belphie I just knew I had to play it. Nebu came to me in a dream. Qiu is because I played Cove's game and they are in the new game fron the same series and I finally caved and downloaded the beta. Cove, I don't remember how I stumbled upon the game, probably in a moment I was really into visual novels and wanted to see if steam had any free ones. Ichi I started to only fall for recently as well in consideration to how long I've been in the fandom, my favs changed quite often for them.

In universe: some of these are just the game's introduction

Kaoru: in middle school, when we accidentally talked to each other, I've known them from preschool but never interacted before now

Cove: as a child, he was the new neighbour and escaped from parental supervision so we had to go find him too (in poly au, my uncle introduced me to the neighbourhood kids when I came to live with him)

Qiu: as a child, I was the new neighbour and was exploring the neighbourhood and stumbled into their garden (this is the same in the poly au, just different circumstances, here my aunt introduced me)

Ichi: I've seen him around but never talked to him before that one fatefull rainy day when I noticed he didn't have an umbrella with him and went to offer up mine

Nebu: Officially met him during my last year in high school, but he was already an observor to my life from elementary school

Belphie: Got summoned to the Devildom and snuck up the stairs to the attic after getting Luci distracted (this stays the same in the double mc au)

Arrax here: if you look up Vox's VA in his Shakespeare role he played it really screams pretty boy Vox. Like....Christian Borle's Shakespeare is something else swear t god. Human Alastor going to see his muse on Broadway while he plays Shakespeare?

TRUE! anyone who hasnt seen christian borles shakespeare: look at him

also human!alastor (whos presumably still a serial killer) x actor vox is something id fucking Kill to see. seriously such a fun dynamic i loveee human aus. you think vox ever asks al for help with his performances by asking for details about his victims and al, smitten as he is and fully trusting that vox would never give him away, gives up every detail possible just to help further his muses performance? because i do. i think theyre fucked up like that

#ran rambles #hazbin hotel #general asks #radiostatic #dont take this as foreshadowing for NODWFM by the way. theyre not entirely freak4freak yet vox still has his sanity there

[autismswagsummit]

best and funniest reasons you've gotten?

Well, somebody submitted Floofty Fizzlebean really early on for reasons of "Kris did not give them a fair chance," there was someone who's reasoning for their character (forgot who specifically) was "source: i am them" which is honestly very fair, and also just "Please." on a Papyrus nomination, as if there was any chance at all that he wouldn't make it onto the bracket. In terms of the best reasons though I have to give a round of applause to every person who linked to a whole essay they wrote (or even a powerpoint presentation) about their character. As i said earlier I don't have enough time to read through all of these but I think these people are still deserving of individual appreciation.

Will you guys be doing TMP as well?

Well, this blog's daily TMA relisten was done quite a bit after tma was fully over.

In order to do an episode a day for TMAGP it would need to be fully completed and that won't be anytime soon.

I am definitely all for doing a daily relisten in a few years' time when we already have the whole series, provided we are all still in the fandom <3

As an asexual person who's uncomfortable with explicit sex scenes but a sucker for romance, I love that you give us the option to skip sex scenes without punishing us! I'm so looking forward to this game! Love you devs, I hope you all are doing well, are healthy and happy and laugh lots everyday! 💜

I'm so so happy to read you, anon! 💜 It is very important for us to offer a mature and sex-positive experience, while also keeping in mind those of you who would rather not engage with that kind of content. More than a "reward" (for a lack of a better word), sex in Lost in Limbo is an integral part of the story that is meant to make the player feel good!

If anyone is curious about how this is going to work with a bit more detail, all the LIs (minus Amon: explanation here!) will have at least one sex scene, but there's also a non-sexual equivalent to that scene. The LIs will check for the MCs consent one way or another before the scene can take place, and you as the player will be able to choose if you want to proceed with the sexual scene, or play the non-sexual equivalent.

As the writer, I'm determined to make them both equally satisfying to play through and meaningful to the relationship/character development, so those of you who don't want to engage with that kind of content don't feel like you are missing out anything!

Sorry for using your ask for this, anon! 💜 I thought it would be nice just in case anyone was wondering how the system is planned as of right now. Thank you so so much for your kindness, you made our day with this, I swear! We hope your week has been amazing and that wonderful things are awaiting you for the weekend, and please take care! 💜
