Schattenfell-yuri - Straight For Lovestruck Guys, Gay For All Ladies

Based on episode 9 heart choice

Made me turn into a human humidifier

I am absolutely in love

Sitting here writing Dorran, Onyx, Vinca’s prequel SWM story and I didn’t even get much done and it’s like time flies. WTF…3hrs already passed? It felt like 5 minutes, literally. I think I’m done with a short prologue, and somewhat done with episode 1. It may seem like an ambitious solo project, but I want to make it in visual novel format. 

So, I made a spreadsheet with all the assets I need. It’s a lot since I’m re-drawing all the character sprites in ¾ view. Also, getting new music for Dorran, Onyx, Vinca, Gage, Izaiah ect;

I’m basically testing and listening to music tracks while I write. Unfortunately, I really have to build on Dorran and Onyx’s relationship before I can introduce Vinca in more.

But, I did pick up some writing methods from all the Lovestruck stories. Characters personality description through their actions in certain scenes. The first time I noticed it was the MC describing the WLL crew in a card game.

I’m sure it appears a lot elsewhere too, but the card game scene stood out the most. Whenever I get a writing block, I just reference Lovestruck scenes to see what methods they use to solve the writing in certain scenes. I guess scenes are like math problems, each one has a formula I can use to solve?

Probably just going to make this 6 episodes, I don’t want to be too ambitious with my first project. Er, I’m not goina’ tag this so I guess I can give followers a preview of a small section of EP1, this is also from Dorran’s PoV.

I’m in charge of making coffee for the entire troupe, I have their usuals memorized. Ripley likes extra, extra sugar and cream. Cal likes his coffee black. Izaiah and Wrath both drink decaf. Gage likes mixing in cocoa powder with his coffee, then adding cream.

(Yvette…well, she’d usually have it with less sugar and cream, bittersweet. She likes contrasting flavors a lot, especially sour candies. But, lately she’s been prowling around at night solo. She said it was a private matter and I’m not one to dig more.)

(And for myself, buckwheat tea. I don’t drink coffee.)

“Onyx, how do you take your coffee?”

Onyx glances over from the sofa where she’s sitting with Ripley.

“Extra sugar and cream, please!”

Ripley squeals in excitement after finding out Onyx shares the same taste for coffee.

Hope ya’ all enjoyed that tiny excerpt from my fanfic. After I finish finalizing episode 1, I’ll probably take a break from writing and draw the new sprites.

really quick Piama painting I did today because season 4 finale got me hard ❤❤

Coordinating the archival of Lovestruck routes

I haven't been in the fandom lately, but today I came back to news that the Japanese matrix company has decided to permanently shut down their USA's branch, Voltage. Which means Lovestruck is going to stop releasing new content at the very least, maybe even delete the game permanently at the very worst.

Despite the company's management faults, Lovestruck's stories hold a special place in the hearts of many fans. So I suggest coordinating to

1. Know which routes have previously been recorded by fans, and

2. Record the ones that nobody else has, in order to preserve them.

If you or others are interested in collaborating, please reply or reblog saying so.

Personally, I've already started recording Galen's route. I'm using my phone's Screen recording feature, so the music tracks aren't recorded, which is a pity, but at least the story will be preserved.
