rosesrot dev update! (jan 2026) (Patreon)

hello! please have a little update on my progress so far with killer chat! expanded edition and bloodlust.exe :)

killer chat! expanded edition

(tiny li mipy's by sakanya!)

writing: here's the monthly breakdown so far! :D you can take a look at the green highlight which is the new content (in word count)!

fun fact: we're basically almost on the originally promised ~120k words for expanded edition, but we're only just past month 3! which means there will likely* be a lot more words in the final game, compared to the initial plan, as the months continue to develop. i can't help it, i love spending time with these serial killers too much 💔

*do note that this word-count is not final and subject to change: i might cut stuff down, add more content, relocate scenes elsewhere, etc!

(so true, v...)

art: you'll be seeing a couple sneak peeks soon ;) as our artists have been hard at work with the cg's, bg's (re: the feli and luca bg's that have been recently posed... vinhua's up next 👀) and the slaughterhouse 4's standing sprites!

(i wonder who's room this could possibly belong to...)

recently, munstxr has been working on the serial killer outfits we decided that we wanted to give the murderers. as cutesy as they are in the original edition, i've always wanted to give the serial killers 90's movies inspired slasher fits, particularly for those that look less overtly murderous (angel, misaki, v).

(someone has a butchering knife... and it's not ronin...)

programming: we've been working on new functionality for the desktop, in particular nullnet (your very own friendly neighbourhood darknet search engine! which is, basically, your tor browser.)

stay tuned!!! i'll keep you posted on updates as we work 🫶

bloodlust.exe

(nikolas by munstxr! it is also available on the rosesrot discord server as a sticker :D)

i'm also working on bloodlust.exe on the side, because i can't spend all my time on the serial killers (i love my loser vampires too). i'm a ways in for the introduction of episode 3 (which, spoilers, will have you returning to your guild. home sweet home...)

we're also going to be working on a new game mechanic 👀 it's not finalised yet, and i'll let you know if anything changes and we're unable to implement it, but we're planning on making the game even more interactive by adding d20 rolls to the game!

for difficult encounters (like sneaking into another guild or searching for what you need), you'll have to roll for success. don't worry, though, because your backstory (aristocrat, orphan, paladin, wardog) will give you a bonus modifier for certain choices you make.

aside from this, we've also been working on updating the profile pics for atlantis, lupine, and celestine, plus concept art for a couple of vampires... specifically, a certain redheaded vampire goddess 👀

that's all i have for the dev update! :D thank you all and i'll return soon with more 🫡
