addedWe showed off the new Elm artwork by Hisuri Rii, which now has a speedpaint up on our YouTube channel.
changedSpeaking of festivals, we’re currently in the Steam Next Fest with both Crimson Waves on the Emerald Sea: Amaranthine Moon and Mari’s Magical Deliveries , a short delivery dating sim we’ve been tinkering with for several years. Both have recently updated demos you can try out now on Steam if you haven’t already.
addedAs for progress on the full game for Crimson Waves, I’ve been able to script more of Day 5 and I’m over halfway done with it. I wanted to finish scripting it in September, but health reasons prevented me from doing so. Here’s a look at some of the new progress I’ve made this month, though!
addedAs with most of the parts to day 5, there are a lot of interactions you will miss because they’re dependent on your choices beforehand—who have you pursued so far? Is Lucie still taking the emerald pills or not? Day 5 will be a new experience on every playthrough (unless you pick the exact same choices, of course).

Wow, the best time of the year is already halfway over! I’ve been busy wrapping up from the Fall in Love Visual Novel Festival in September, which was my 2nd Steam festival—we celebrated all things romance in visual novels with over 100 developers and 200+ visual novels and it was a blast!

If Lucie decides not to visit Rowan on day 5, she ends up going to school and having a Very Normal lunch with Elm and Cecil.

I’m finalizing the shipping costs and backer surveys as we speak and hope to have them out before Halloween.

Happy spooky month, everyone!
