Development Update: June 3rd, 2024

Release Tomorrow or Wednesday

I’m close to finishing up the chapter 2 bugs that have been posted so I’m going to hold off on the supporter release until they’re done.

The chapter 5 update goes public on the 10th. Get psyched!

Yeah the trailer is age-restricted. Go watch it on youtube!

Tales of Strings: Instruments

Yep, a secret project which is a light novel! You can find all the details over on Itch.io (it’ll be on Amazon later, Mario is working on that)

I want to make some more light novels like this, short and sweet with a few illustrations. But will I? Depends on sales! I have tons of ideas that are all rock solid don’t you worry.

Art by Xandra, writing by me, Salty (hi!) and editing by MarioneTTe.

If you’re a patron/subscriber over 5$ for the month of May or June, just send us a DM on Patreon (or Discord if that’s easier for you) and we’ll get you hooked up with a copy.

Development Update

Giga has finished the new Sanya Sevavi combat pose but I’m not sure it’ll make it into the next update. It’ll definitely make the public release on the 10th. Urimas is currently working on the chapter 5 idle animations, Koops is doing some UI stuff and then character designs, Stinkehund has spent a riotous amount of time making a very cool forest scene for chapter 2, and Wispy is going to draw eyes. You’ll see (oh that was a pun I hate myself)

Fan Art!

Hadezmuze asked me for an art prompt for a warmup so BAM, Rilmani Mei! I like this better than her classic design, especially those shoes. But we all know what you really want is the ears.

If Rilmani Mei is too elegant for you, what if Septima wore a bikini? Yeah she’s still pretty elegant.

And finally we return to Hadezmuze’s favourite subject, Lotta. I gotta say she’s my fave, too. Well maybe not fave but she’s definitely in the top six.

And then we have a silly scene from Tales of Strings: Instruments, by Xandrasubmarine. Who the hell is that? It’s Scarlet, she’s from the String Tyrant prequel/sequel series which is also going to be published as novels when it’s ready (which might be sooner than you think).

Kumquat also commissioned an extremely NSFW version which I am going to post here without censoring because I BELIEVE IN FREE SPEECH.
