✦ AMON AND ARA'S REWORKS - FEEDBACK GATHERING

Did you think the party was over? NO!

Here we are with a new badge of freshly backed sprites—this time introducing reworked Ara and reworked Amon!

This round, to better listen to feedback, we've decided to go one platform at a time, starting with Discord because it offers faster responses both from our supporters and from us, and then Kickstarter as of yesterday. So let's see what you Tumblr folks have to say!

✦ AMON

(Remember you can open the images on a new tab to zoom in!)

So, let's list the changes!

✦ PRE-FEEDBACK:

Defined patterns and accessories  

Broader shoulders

More body fat

Made his face thicker

Better patch placement  

More relaxed pose

Improved his tattoos (eventually you'll get to see it)

✦ POST DISCORD FEEDBACK:

Gave him his sharp cheekbones back

Made his head a little bigger (was to small)

Made his neck thinner

Gave him his Adam apple back

✦ ARA

✦ PRE-FEEDBACK:

More defined clothing + more detail in some areas  

Defined silhouette (especially her hair) I wanted it to have more rounded shapes, not that spiky  

More relaxed / natural pose

✦ POST DISCORD FEEDBACK:

Corrected how her skirt flows in relation to gravity and her own body

Legs and knees fixed to properly reflect her body shape

Saturation on the upper part of her hair lowered

Upper part of her hair modified to better reflect the fluffiness of the first sprite

Hand pose modified to adjust to her hip

Gave her her moles / beauty marks back

Corrected the stretch marks on her legs to appear more natural

And I think that's it! As always, any kind of feedback is welcome, via any of our socials. You can even contact us privately at info@ravenstar.games! 💜

Before I forget—have some wonderful Holidays, and talk to you soon! 💜

Would you look at that: The winter solstice is here, which just so happens to be Flannán's birthday! How's he celebrating?! 🥳

Well, he's not. Much too many things to do, but he's grateful for the well-wishes anyway, even if he's a bit sombre about it. Hmm... What a shame. I wonder, has he always been this way?

You know, come to think of it, Maeve and ol' Flanny are rather close, aren't they? I wonder if she'd have some insight...in her route...which is 20% off on Steam and Itch until January 2... 🤔

Only one way to find out. 🐺⚔️🐦‍⬛

I’m not sure if any of the RO’s can even get sick but how would they act if they were sick?

HOW THE RO'S ACT WHEN SICK

THE DEMON —

He doesn't get sick often. Hasn't gotten sick in years, maybe centuries even. And when he does get sick, he's cold as ice. Sluggish. Is bedridden with heaters and heating lamps over him cause he isn't used to being so cold. Shivering physically and still cracking jokes as if he isn't pale in the face. You'll have to make sure he eats and stays warm. He wants you to stay near him, though he won't say it.

THE ANGEL —

Whiny and incoherent. Trying to say she isn't sick, while she's coughing and sneezing and throwing up. She's a mess. Calling your name when she's sick and asking you to do things for her. She doesn't want to get you sick, but she also doesn't want to be alone. Will cling onto you, head on your shoulder asking you to stay with her if you have to leave.

THE DRAGON —

Hates getting sick and does a lot of steps to avoid getting sick. So when she becomes sick, she already knows and is annoyed. You'll find her in the water, warm or hot water, on her back, a cold towel on her forehead and eyes. Just floating. She's also more snippy and sassy when she's sick. But grateful if you do anything for her and will make it up to you.

THE ARMADILLO —

Sleeping. Deep sleep. He is knocked out, covered in piles and piles of blankets, completely hidden. You don't know how he's not burning up. He rarely gets sick and he's dedicated half the day to rest, only to arise as the sun sets and do literally laps and physical activity to make himself tired again and passes out. He's good within a day or two.

THE WARDEN —

Like he's getting sick. lmfao. And if he could, he's popping a couple pills and still working. Fighting off the sickness.

THE KING —

He's apologizing if he's sick. He doesn't want to get you sick. Really really thankful and thank you constantly for every little thing while he's stuck in bed. He'll do something in return promise.

DEVLOG. Apple Bag

With 2025 approaching, it's time for a little update on our (potentially) murderous gals !

The development of Apple Bag has been slow, with many changes along the way, but progress has been made. Here’s what you can expect in the next demo update:

New GUI 

The GUI design of the game is being reworked to better fit the aesthetic, replacing the default Ren'Py interface.

Additional Content and Demo Rewriting

The original demo, covering the prologue to Day 1, has been updated with improved writing to better introduce the characters.

Additionally, content from Day 2 to Day 4 will be included in the next demo. Starting on Day 2, events will diverge based on routes, and Day 4 will feature two different playable events. Upon release of the next update, there will be 15 days worth of content to play ( the lenght is still currently unsure )

Illustrations

The next update will include six brand-new CGs, with two for each love interest.

New sprites

All characters have been redrawn to match the current art style. This sprite update will also feature multiple outfit changes for recurring characters.

The development might be slow but Apple bag is not an abandoned project . Thank you for your patience and nice comments, hopefully I'll manage to offer you more content soon :}

If you haven't played yet, please consider taking a look at the current demo available on itch.io

Jude's Main Story

Mad Love End- Epilogue Snippets

The epilogue opens with MC setting up business agreements for Jude in his office.

She has been working for Raven while also serving as a Fairytale keeper, so they spend most of their time together.

"As I was laying out the contracts on the desk, Jude brushed back my bangs with his fingers."

"Jude: Pfftt, yer hair's all messy 'n ugly but you're still cute. Good job."

Jude then tells her that he's taking the afternoon off since he wants to take her somewhere. It was his sister's grave.

The grave was recently built, as Jude believed he had not fulfilled her desires, so he atleast wanted a spot for her to rest, despite there being no remains of her. (I'm crying, okay?)

He introduces 'his woman' to his sister and tells her that she's very cruel, as she also requests him to take her to the moon. However, because he has made a promise, he'll see through it regardless, for both her and his sister.

On their way back to the castle, they engage in a nice and cute conversation about the MC being a foodie. She supposedly even ate Jude's leftovers.

They notice the moon, and she mentions that footprints stay on the moon for a century which ofcourse, Jude already knows due to his ample knowledge.

She suggests a few things they could do upon arriving at the moon, one of them being writing his name. Jude responds that it will be like scrawling graffiti on the wall. So she suggests that maybe they don't need to leave anything physical and can instead kiss each other once they land.

Jude calls her a demanding princess, making different promises every day. He then proposes another promise himself-

"Jude: Once we come back from the moon, let's kiss in bed."

(Uwaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!)

After some squabble about Jude unnaturally suggesting something sweet, and him saying that she was indecent for having dirty thoughts instead, scene changes to a different day in Jude's office, where MC notices she has received an increased workload compared to usual.

Jude claims that it's her punishment for sneakily eating his sweets the other day. Moreover, since she constantly craves his attention, more work will allow her to be with him around the clock.

The epilogue concludes with her saying that her boyfriend is a ruthless and vindictive man, and yet she is hoplessly in love with him.

(Let's curse each other--to the depths of hell.)

(Being with you is nothing less than being in heaven, Jude. So drag me to hell all you want.)

What would be Noah’s favorite drinks? Is he an fan of alcohol? 👀

Lore time:

Noah's top 10 favorite drinks would be:

Lavender tea (Or unsweetened/sweet tea)

Water

Cherry limeade

Melon cream soda

Strawberry lemonade

Orange juice

Chocolate milk

Sprite

Apple juice

Pepsi

Noah's go-to drinks would mainly be different types of tea's or water to stay hydrated but he has a soft spot for fruit-flavored soft drinks, specifically ones made fresh! In the cabin he'd make his own using fresh fruits or mix it with home-made lemonade. :] He's never been into alcoholic drinks and never tried any before. During his finance days he had to help a couple of clients that lost everything due to unfortunate situations, one of them being alcoholism. This also adds to him not wanting to try anything with alcohol in it. Fun fact: Before the events of the game he was a very big fan of Boba, specifically taro/lavender! He was introduced to it by a acquaintance during his early years in finance. He tried making some on his own but he could never get it right and gave up. He'd treat drinking boba as a form of a reward if he had a successful streak in helping out clients. :P

I got to stream a little bit of beyond the bet on twitch today. Twitch was acting really weird though and I couldn't see a preview of my stream. Probably going to stick with YouTube to stream from how on.

SPOILERS FOR BEYOND THE BET

I love grim so much! Beyond the bet is so freaking good so far!! Literally finding out they can get hurt if the other is hurt!!??? It's crazy!! I'm not done with it yet but I'm so afraid of what might happen next!! I'm excited for the cute romantic moments in the game, but I'm so excited to get more cool lore and I JUST WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING THATS GOING ON IM SO EXCITED AHHHHHH

I want to make a theory video so bad but I need to finish the game first lol

Look at how cute he is!!! 🥰🤭

Wicked wolves is sadly leaving us 💔I can honestly say it wasn’t known for the best writing or art but I always get a bit sad when they remove an otome option from mobile stores. It will be removed sometime Jan-Feb of 2025 (cant recall the exact date) so I’m running through ibuki’s route since I never actually finished any of their stories. Is it great? Nah, not really but it’s super nostalgic and if you’re wanting to do a quick final play through for old times sake then now is the time.

Wicked Wolves - character teaser #3

Ibuki is the 3rd character to be teased in Wicked WOlves.

dating simulator where it starts normal but it slowly becomes clear that all of the romanceable characters are attempting to cover up an extremely specific murder they committed a year ago before you arrived
