Hello, my dear crew! This is your sleep-deprived captain, haha

Beauty in the Beast is finally finished, and I’ll be sending the link to you very shortly, thank you for your patience! (If you don’t receive it, please let me know! And just a reminder that after today, the only way to get the game will be through itch.io.)

⚠️ Spoiler Alert: From here on, there will be some spoilers for the story. Nothing major, but proceed at your own discretion!

This month was full of learning. As I mentioned before, I read a few books about the Heian era, and some details in the story are inspired by historical facts from those books. For example, the use of paper figures to curse people and the idea that dreams can foretell the future. I even included a bit of poetry — hopefully not too much! haha I got a little inspired~

I based Sukuna's backstory on the supposed inspiration Akutami had when creating the character. There were so many paths we could have taken, but I hope you enjoy my interpretation of Sukuna. While there is a happy ending, some parts of the story might feel sad. Maybe I need to start reading more lighthearted books for inspiration? LOL

This month also taught me a lot about game development, though in a very different way than before. Everything was going smoothly, but then I got sick. I physically couldn’t work, and it cost me a lot. It made me realize how much luck has played a role in my ability to release all these games over the past months. Because I didn’t face emergencies or illness, I could work long hours — 10+ hours a day, seven days a week. But this isn’t sustainable in the long run, and any emergency could derail everything.

Starting next year, I’ll be making some changes. I might create two scenes instead of three, or maybe just one. I also want to carve out time to explore other fandoms, which has been impossible with my current schedule. Let’s see how December goes since I’ll be creating a smaller game with just one smut scene.

Speaking of December’s Tape, I’ll put up a poll soon! Since December is my birthday month, and I want to spend the holidays with my family, I’ll create an epilogue for one of the games I’ve already made. You’ll get to vote on which game: My Assassin Bodyguard, Lone Stars, etc. Or maybe a 3P for Before the Darkness? 👀 hehe

Thank you so much for another wonderful month! I hope that with my new schedule, I’ll have more time to interact with you, post more, and be more active. I truly appreciate each and every one of you for being part of this community 💕

Love you!
