happy birthday, Kiri! 14.04 --------- facts: full name: Kiratea. mother is Indian. has an older sister named Bini that works at FC. Kiri's age is around 23-25. Kiri really loves her sister and wants to be like her, so she shortens her name to match hers and acts all cool! :D (though, Bini's name is a full name) Bini had some dialogues in the game and was supposed to meet us at the police(FC) station (Kiri was visiting her that day), had a sprite. it's unused, I'm not sure if you saw it. Bini:

thank you for support. I'm planning on making a calendar with fixated birthday days so I would stop forgetting about them

I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT

For this one, I mimicked the coloring style of the original work. I think this style is really cool and amazing!😆

对于这幅画，我模仿了原作的上色风格。我认为这种风格真的很酷很棒！😆

So I may or may have played this for two days straight and forgot too take a break and sleep.

but when i finally do manage to pull myself away to sleep — one singular question popped up into my head. So this might make us both uncomfortable. . . . since Zu's body is made of Gel and they can manifest clothing — does this mean Zu can uh. . . . you know.

𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘢 𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦? 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘬𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘭 —.

hello! <3 pls take breaks and sleep, that's a better thing :D THANK YOU!!! OHHH. okay . yes! he can do that. he can do anything as long as he has enough body material. good luck with your imagination! :D

Hello author! I am a Chinese fan and I saw your game localized on the Bilibili platform. I have already watched it all! Your drawings of both Zu and MC are really great! I really like Zu hugging MC from behind! And sticking to MC all the time while sleeping, the sense of security really explodes!! I really like the character you created! Due to the unavailability of Tumblr in China, I finally downloaded this software through other channels. I am really happy that you have created this story! Because it is machine translation, some parts may have been translated incorrectly. Please forgive me. Also, I drew a portrait of Zu holding MC from behind, hoping you will like it

HELLO!!!! <3 I'm so glad you liked it! I'm sorry you have to go through so many difficulties to access some sites. I'm glad to see you here! I'm very grateful for the all warm words from you, and I'm glad for attention from Chinese part of the community! I understand your words! <3 THE ART IS SO GREAT!!!!!! I SAW IT AND I FELL IN LOVE, IT'S SO CUTE (^_^). YOUR ARTSTYLE IS AMAZING!!! <3 <3 <3

Hii, I just wanted to say at the beginning thank you for these wonderful games, especially Magenta, when I played it it became my favorite game it's perfect! 😆🩷

And I just wanted to ask if it is possible to tell us the translation of the coded words ( i think it's vigenere cipher but I'm not sure) that zu said in some moments? I couldn't translate it and I'm really curious to know what he said!

And is there any platform that I can follow you on other than tumblr?

Thank you for your time and I apologize for any inconvenience🤍

hiiiii hello how are you?!?!??! I'll update this post later, I'll add the translations if you still need it.! officially, I only have tumblr and itch.io, and also my pages on boosty and hipolink (for donations). other than that, I don't have any please don't apologize! I very appreciate your words! wish you a good day!

[softmagenta]

NEW GAME???? OMFGGGGGG YOUR FEEDING ME, cant wait to see how this one inspires me!!!! i love your work it never fails to light a spark!

hello and thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

[softmagenta]

Hi! Me again, I can't lie I only made a tumblr account to just show my appreciation for the game you've created, and from what I've heard and seen so far, the yandere gaming community doesn't seem very nice 😭 so i thought it'd be nice to let you know that the game you've created is really, really good! Like when I first downloaded the demo I was HOOKED. Deadass I was reccomending it to everyone I knew at one point, and when the full game finally released I was super excited, and I was NOT disappointed. From Zu to Francoise (you guys need to hear me OUT on Francoise 😞🙏) to the actual storyline, it's got to be one of the best indie games I've ever played, and the characters now live rent free in my head lol. Keep doing what you're doing, take breaks, and remember to be really proud of your works, because I know a lot of us here are! ♥️🫂

helloooooo! <3 I hope making a tumblr account was useful for you. there is a lot of cool content and great people! thank you so much!!! I won't comment the thing about yan community, but you know my opinion. I hope you're safe and okay. I'm very grateful for your words. I hope you follow your advises and take breaks as well, and I hope you're alright in general! I'm proud of you! :)

[softmagenta]

Ik you said you won't be on here as much which is understandable so if you don't answer this it's okay!! I just wanted to tell you I love your art and Zu is very special to me ( ´∀`)

And just some questions because I was wondering, was Zu stealing our clothes throughout the game? Or someone else? Because MC kept mentioning that their clothes went missing, I'm not sure if it was addressed anywhere in the game and if it was I missed it (^-^;

hello!!!!!!!! thank you so much for your question, I've read that as soon as you asked it, but here I am with the reply! yes, he was "stealing" them. in his opinion, he was taking clothes that MC didn't use much (like the jacket, remember?) so he could take care of the clothes (so they wouldn't be too dusty...). or he also could take some often-used clothes to also take care of them and be a bit more useful for MC... (like, he thought he could give those clothes to MC when they asked, so he's useful, you know?... it's logical for him). <3

hi omg i love this game ive beem looking forward to the full release of it i literally checked everyday since ive found it THANK U FOR UR AMAZING WORK AAA

one question have u posted Zu's color palette anywhere?? im trying to draw him but i can't understand the color of his hair like is it white or a cream color-ish white plz bless me with a color palette 🙏🙏

thank you so much!!!!! <3 it's a bit late, YET: there's no strict color palette for his face and hair (it can be white, grey, greyish white (I use that), cream color, any type of very light color), but his body and eyes are #FF0090 (magenta color). using #FF00FF (also magenta) wouldn't be right, but, like, you can do anything you like :D you can draw him red or purple (or even green) and it would be okay, because it's about art, not about strict rules : )

[softmagenta]

hi hi!! i recently discovered your projects and i am in love with your work!! i've spent my last two days playing magenta and awaken in my free time!! only a few endings are yet to be unlocked and i am slowly working through them lolll love your work and your art!! also i was trying to unscramble some of zu's dialouges and they seem to be encoded in vigenere cipher. i think i need a keyword to decode them [or else i am a lost cause sobs] if you are willing, can i get a hint of what these keywords could be or where to look for them? thank you for sharing your art with us!! very grateful !

hellooo! thank you so much <3 you're so kind, your words are very warm! awwww I know it's late, but "Magenta" is the key. ^_^ wish you a good day!

[softmagenta]

Hi! How are you? I wanted to ask two things about your game!

1) Zu knows that he loves MC but he never said anything before the story. In the museum route he says that is like they being dating for years but.. when did he realize that he felt LOVE?

2) I wanted to ask about their private life as a couple. I mean, I read the nsfw part but I found sad that they cant even kiss because Zu doesnt have lips so... How they can show their love in a physical way?

Ty for everything 💞

hello!!! 1) it's a question without a real answer, because it wasn't just a sudden realization. it was a long process that started when he was studying and learning how to live in the beginning of his life (basically, it started when he found The Answer in the "Awaken" special for magenta). and slowly, he made a conclusion after studying the topic for a while. he thought MC already knew that, cuz he thought it all was mutual since the beginning 2) if mc wants to be all physical with him, they'll find a way, trust me. hands, other objects, or the shaping of his body. if talking about other physical affections... you don't need lips to kiss, really. just bonk your heads against each others' :D after all, mc can kiss him, and he can just touch their face with his face. and cuddles, of course! and if you want something else... just being together and next to each other would be enough, really thank you!

[softmagenta]

helu. i absolutely love magenta but even with a guide, i can't reach the good endings😭 . can we please have a more elaborate guide if it's not a problem for you? thank you sooo much

hello, if you or anyone else still have problems, please write a comment here, I'll update this post with tutorials if needed thank you!

[softmagenta]

How would it go if Mc wanted to raise a kid with Zu? To be more especific

-like adopting a child

-artificial insemination and him dealing with their pregnancy

-adopting an grown ahh robot

What would be his opinions and feelings on which, how would he experience parenthood in each of these factors

hello! technically, it'd be alright, because Zu makes his researches and studies literature and "tutorials" for almost every thing he considers important. so, of course, he knows that having a child is a big thing, so he'll read EVERYTHING he will be able to find (prioritizing scientific literature from specialists, obviously) but we should know that even with studying and preparing, you could never be a perfect parent. you'll have your mistakes. maybe you'll read so many advises that you'll use them too much that you'll mentally suffocate your child. and- that is what zu would start to do. he'll use every advise, every "lifehack", trying to be a perfect parent, that maybe he'll even start to have some tiny small arguments with MC (he'll be stubborn, but he'll listen to MC of course) zu also has some issues with the feelings-mentality-morality stuff, so his and mc's child(-ren) would be very lucky to also have MC as their second parent to be an example of How To Feel. zu would be... not the very best single parent, let's admit that. if he was a single parent, he'd raise a traumatized child that won't be able to express their feeling properly (zu would be the housewife, thank you for your attention) now, talking about your options 1) adopting a child? he'd be okay with the child not being related to MC. yay! but maybe he'll be a bit unfriendly towards the child's parents (if they are alive) 2) that would be... very, very weird and awkward. he'll READ AND STUDY, of course, but even HE will start to panic, because wth - my partner is going through such serious and dangerous thing? HE WILL NEVER SLEEP. (he doesn't sleep in general but let's not mention that. he'll be always active, and he'll contact the hospital every second if anything happens. (sybil also will be there! yay! (if she's not dead :( )) he'll also use EVERY advise learned, so much that it may even start be too much. please help him 3) he'll act just like in every other option. he'll be careful! that's his kid now, uh huh. maybe he'll be a bit upset if he can't teach this "child" because they know a lot already... lol :D I also want to say that he WON'T be jealous. it's his child, not a damn random flirting-with-MC person, so he won't ever be jealous. maybe a bit upset if the child takes the whole attention away from zu, but nothing more. thank you for your question!

Hello!

Omg i just finished Magenta and I can describe how much I loved this game. The characters, the plot, the artstyle... Everything was amazing! I just wanted to said this to congratulate you for your work!

hello!!!! thank you a lot ^_^ !!!!!!!!!! I hope my work made your past days a bit brighter. <3

[softmagenta]

Goodness gracious i am fixating so badly on magenta, i need you to know you have created a BEAUTY of a game and the world building is absolutely scrumptious. If the game were edible it'd be Choco mousse,, with some raspberry flavouring,,

I could ramble on and on about how much i love your game and I don't wanna clog the askbox, but if you ever decide to make more content around the world of magenta i will be there to eat your full course meals

THANK YOUUU! I'd eat that... :D <3 it's very tasty and I can see why you feel like that I hope you (or others) don't mind the late reply. I had some sort of rest from the questions (as I said, I'm just going to reply to questions, not do anything active at this page. only questions), so yeah ... needed some time but you can write as many questions as you want ^_^
