News & Update : Happy Halloween 2026! (Patreon)

Happy Halloween, everyone!

The girls got themselves all dressed up for the spookiest night of the year. Do you recognize which character they are disguised as?

I just need one more evening of work to write the last scene I had planned in order to release the next build of my slice-of-life visual novel Don't Flex On Me Yumi-Chan!!! It won't be the FINAL build, after all : I'm leaving some material out for later.

Indeed, after listening to you guys, I figured I might add one last H-scene to the game. Please realize that it adds several weeks to the production. Artist Chayon, as talented as they are, are really busy and securing a commission spot isn't always easy. Currently, I commissioned them to draw a character sprite for best friend Hiroshi, so I'll have to wait until this one is done, then wait for a free commission spot, and then wait for this new commission to be completed. We're looking at an end-of-year timeframe, or maybe even January. I believe it will be worth it. What will this last scene be about? Well, there's one obvious thing I haven't done yet, considering the game has three girls and one guy...

Also, the actual ending to the game won't be in this next build either. You will get the conclusion to the love stories with the girl of your choice, but the actual conclusion to the entire story arc will have to wait until a little later. Not much left to write, in that regard, but I want to do it right and not feel pressured to deliver something too quickly. I hope you understand.

I will have the next build ready in the next two days, for sure.

I have been neglecting my other titles, too excited by the prospect of reaching the end of the production cycle for Yumi-Chan!!! I suppose I should resume production on The Bodyguard Girl Remake...maybe even make the effort to port The Bodyguard Girl 2 to Ren'Py? I've been seeing a lot of art from Bodyguard 2 artist Manob on my X feed these past few days, and I kinda miss working with them. I will need a considerate amount of time to properly port the game from Visual Novel Maker to Ren'Py, so I need to plan this move well in advance. Still, it's been on my mind a lot, so expect something about this before the end of the year.

My worry is to have too much Vivian Tong at the same time. I know most of you will reply that they can never have too much Vivian in their lives, but I personally like to have a varied offering of games in production at the same time. As usual, we'll see.

And that's it. Halloween is coming up on a Saturday this year, which is great timing. The kids might go trick-or-treating earlier during the afternoon, leaving us plenty of time for an evening of spooks and thrills. My current plan is to gather with friends and watch two movies : In The Mouth Of Madness and Psycho 2 : the former I know to be excellent, and the latter I've heard a lot of surprisingly good things about.

What are your plans for Halloween? Do you even celebrate that event in your neck of the wood? Whatever the case, I wish you have a great rest of the Fall season! We’ll see each other real soon.

Until then, stay safe out there!
