What seems more interesting?
I feel like the poll is pretty self explanatory. Just wanting to check which of these things seems most interesting to everyone?
Either way there is murder involved though. Rofl.

Release Date - Gilded Shadows
Hi Everyone!
This is just a really quick update to let you know the game is finally uploaded to and approved on Steam. We've entered the "early download" period where some backers get early access to the game. And I've settled on a release date, which will be Friday, May 13th, 2022 - between 10 AM - 12 PM AEST.
And that's it. That is the update.
As always, putting a game up on Steam is a little arduous - but most of the time it ta...

I just realised I completely forgot to post my devlog. @_@ I am still caught up in play testing and making a lot of small corrections, fixes, and improvements.
It's slow as usual - there's a lot to test, and a ton of small polish-y things to do.

Full CG Show-off and Preview
Just a post showing off some full screen caps (with no context) from the game. Some of these I might have already shown. Some I may not have shown. There may be some "spoilers" in a sense. But I don't really consider it a spoiler to show the characters kissing since you should already know they are going to kiss at some point.
Anyway. . .here is one full CG per route!

Hi everyone! I thought I would just do a quick post on what it is like to do character customisation that is reflected in the CGs. I feel like there's a lot of misunderstanding around what exactly this entails in terms of work. This isn't really a tutorial on how to do it so much as an explanation of what is happening behind the scenes when you unlock one of these CGs.
I also feel like it's just really hilarious to show people what the art actually looks like vs what the player sees. ðŸ...
