Hi there everyone! I hope you've all been enjoying this most spooky of months!

I will once again be taking a bit of a monthly update break--I plan on still posting some relevant content when I get spare moments to, and have something of interest to show, but the timetable for a big event in my life is moving a bit more quickly than anticipated, and my schedule will soon be completely thrown into chaos! I am still plugging away with the writing, but I'll be sure to at least get some fun little promo images done over the next few months! ^^

Enjoy the rest of your October--be safe and have fun! <3

Quick Check-in

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful summer! This is just the quick check-in I mentioned previously, as September has officially left us! I've started picking things up again, and the biggest piece of progress to report at the moment is that I've almost completed Clara's route! You can expect the monthly updates to start up again for now.

With that, I'll see you at the end of the month!

Checking in real quick! Apologies for the slightly late update--things took a (good) turn for the crazy and I’ve been running around trying to handle a bunch of things! For that reason you’ll have to wait until the next update, but I’ll be ramping back up again shortly! Thanks for your patience, I hope you all had a great April and I hope you will have a great May as well!!

---

A quick edit: I’ll be taking a brief hiatus for a bit! I might check back in early, but expect the next monthly update to be at the end of September! Enjoy the summer!! <3

Nothing much to report this month, I’m afraid--there were a lot of unexpected and unavoidable time sinks! So this is me just checking in :3 I hope you all had a wonderful March! Hopefully I’ll have something more substantial at the end of April! ^^

Hey everyone, I hope you had a great February! Just a quick check-in this time! It’s been a busy time here and I’m hoping I can get some real work in back on the writing side of things next month! I’ve been fussing with the character creation screen and hoping to find a slightly more elegant way to get things done ^^ Regardless, I look forward to seeing you in next month’s post!

Here’s hoping you all have a kind, safe, and calm March <3

Happy monthly update, everyone. Though there are still some details I’m adding in (things like glasses), here’s a quick selection of random main character appearances you can have! This is not representative of all the styles.

The bangs and top/back of the hair are two separate pieces, so any of the ones you see on display here can be mixed and matched (you could choose to have the ringlet bangs with the sponge twists, for example). There are five different skin tones, two eye shapes, and a female and male body option. This gif shows off the natural hair and eye colors (these are all starting options). I didn’t include any of the dyed hair colors or colored contact options that you’ll have access to later in-game, but here’s what will be available, for reference:

Starting Options:

-Eyes: Brown, green, blue, gray -Hair: Black, brown, red (natural), blonde

Dye/Contact Options:

-Eyes: Red, orange, yellow, purple, pink, black -Hair: Red (non-natural), green, blue, purple, pink, white

Just a quick check-in for the monthly update this time, as predicted! With any luck, 2023 will be a productive year. I hope you’re all doing well, and I hope you all have a wonderful new year!

[applebungames]

Hey everyone, welcome to the monthly update. I don’t have anything substantial to show you at the moment--I was originally going to throw together some previews of possible MC appearance combinations, but I still have a few details I’d like to add before I mock up some samples. I’m also experimenting a little more with backgrounds, but I’m not confident enough in them yet to start posting them.

I’m not sure what kind of updates I’ll have in the coming few months--December and January are always extra busy, and I’ve had a few family crises happen in the past two weeks, so it’s been especially hard to find the time and energy to work as much as I’d like to. Regardless, I’m still trucking away! 

Thank you as always for sticking with me during this lengthy game development process! I wish everyone a gentle and kind end of the year. See you on December 29th!

Hi everyone! No image-related update today, though I did spend quite a bit of time recently adding hairstyles to the player character! I’m not quite done yet, but I’m currently anticipating about 16 styles for bangs, and 28 styles for the back of the hair to play around with and mix-and-match as you see fit in character creation! So far I’m working with 4 natural hair colors (black, brown, red, and blonde), and 6 colors you can dye your hair (red (non-natural), green, blue, purple, pink, and white). Hopefully I’ll be able to show that in action in the next month or two ^^

Have a great end to the month, and see you next time!

Happy Thursday! Here’s a small art update for you this month~

Mr. Pococke, the dean of Enora Academy, in both his human guise and his normal form! I might make some adjustments, but I think I’m mostly out of the WIP stage on him.

Stay safe out there, and have a lovely October!

Hello everyone! I hope you’ve had a pleasant summer! As promised, here is Skully’s sprite! The next few months will be a little unpredictable for me, but I’m still planning on going back to my usual update schedule, so I’ll check in again on September 29th. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll showcase next--perhaps some of the minor characters? Menu art? Casual outfits for the main 11? Perhaps even...MC previews? We’ll have to see!

I hope you have a peaceful rest of your August and a wonderful September! See you next time! :3

Hi everyone! Happy end of May!

I just have a quick little update today. I finished my second degree earlier this month, so I’m taking a little time off to breathe before I get back into working on Enora! I’ll be putting the monthly updates on hold until August 25th so I can take some time to figure out a workable schedule for my projects. I’m looking forward to revealing Skully’s new sprite then! ^^

Be safe out there, and have a wonderful summer, everyone! I’ll see you in a couple of months!!

Time for another update! This month got a little busy, so I still have some work to do on Raul’s other outfits, but here he is in his uniform! After I’m done with him, it’ll be on to Skully, and then the non-romanceable characters! I hope you all have a great May!

[applebungames]

Hiya! Welcome to the monthly update! Today I’ve got three new sprites for you! I’m done with Michel and Zakir’s, and I’m about halfway through with Ohana’s outfits! :3 I ended up making some small design changes, so I’ll be going back and updating some of the other art.

I’ve been working on the player character’s art bit by bit in-between some of these, but I’m not sure when I’ll be done with it! Once I start in on the non-romanceable character sprites, I’ll probably put at least some of them up for you to see. They’ll have less poses and clothes, so the process should go a little faster! No promises, but we’ll see if I can get the three remaining romanceable characters done before the next update.

I hope you all have a lovely start to your spring! ^^

Hi everyone, time for a monthly update! I hope February was fun! It was so cold here today TwT

Tumblr is cutting off some of Umm and Clara, so make sure to click through them if you want to see each whole sprite!

Continuing with the sprites, I’ve got Umm finished, Aurel finished except for one outfit I’m still deciding on, and I’ve just finished Clara’s school uniform today, so here they all are for you to look at! They might get a couple of tweaks here and there, but overall this is the look you should expect in-game.

Have a great March!

[applebungames]

Happy end of January, everyone! I’ve been working with the sprites lately, and I’ve got Fritz and Wynn for you today! They each have a few outfits and a couple of poses (and various expressions, obviously!), but here they are in their uniforms for now. Not sure who I’ll work on next, but I’d like to get these out relatively close to each other so my style doesn’t change while I’m not looking!

Have a great February! See you next month! ^^

[applebungames]

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all take care and have fun as we head into 2022. I’m planning on getting a lot done this year! I haven’t drafted an adjusted schedule for the work yet, but hopefully it all goes well! Thanks for sticking with me! Here’s to a brighter year.
