Devlog #3
So much to do and so little time.
Writing
I'm working on random scenes throughout the "warm" route first for Day 3. A lil hurt and comfort times before jumping into the "cold" route. When I write for games, I usually add all the MC personality choices and options right into the coding script later without thinking too much ahead of time. I just have a general idea and then imagine how Jim would respond when writing his dialogue. It keeps the dialogue and reactions more natural imo. Example of how my process looks below for those interested! Very rough outlines, notes, and ideas.
Art
I've been having fun making Illustrations lately. Like the Polterkisst one. And here's a wip of Jim. Maybe it'll be promo material or something (new main menu??) , but it sure does help me get into the Jim appreciation mindset.
Animations. I've been having a time getting back into animation and relearning a bunch of animation principles. I animated my "Remina" logo and have been practicing with something for Chilling Devotion as well...Jim dramatically looking like he's in a moody MV or anime opening.
Music
Opferfleisch is in the works! More to report on soon! Enjoy a lil teaser and some behind-the-scenes.
Personal
Hey. Here's my bugsona werking. Werking hard to please you.
Making lil things with my bug is a counter weight to working on the heavier Chilling Devotion stuff. To remind myself to have whimsy. T.T

I just got back home from a long day, seeing Jim is like seeing my partner who waited for me at home and greets me with hugs
Thank you for your efforts and don't forget to look after yourself! ❤️
Omg I didnt know u made the ost for the game as well!!! That's so cool
Even now I find myself coming back to this post to listen to the clip from the song over and over. It’s so good!! Can’t wait to see where the project goes!!
the illustrations are sooooo coooolll!!!!!!! i love how much effort you put into making this game as amazing as possible and i love that you love it as much as we do!!!!!
I feel so happy to find out that Jim's into atmospheric metal! Usually I tend to listen to DSBM, and always thought if Jim would be the kind of guy to be into those sort of niches in his taste for metal, finding out hes into the same sorts of characteristics of metal felt so euphoric and I've been doing nothing but listening to the snippet since this was posted XD so excited for Day 3 even more!!! Do you plan on making a youtube channel for any songs you'll compose under Opferfleisch? >w>
I discovered your games and just had to sub to your patreon for more content. I love seeing the process and how much thought you put into all of it. Your art style is so unique and the characters are so gjfjhfyshdfj I love them. Especially Jim.
Ur art is so scrumptious, it itches my brain sooooo well
omg so precious everything you make have so much care, I'm an adult but I really want to be like you when I grow up
listening to the music on loop
Since playing the game for 2 years, I love how your art style gets better and better and I’m excited for more upcoming ones. The song sounds sick as hell; like a atmospheric Black metal vibe to it. Reminds me of Heriwalt by iskandr :D.
Oh cool Remina is that your room? Looks like my fiance's room when he's working on his music. Also the animation looks awesome 😄
That is the dark chambers of Opferfleisch! 🥀
Oh this is just a treat every time there's an update! I was jamming out to the Opferfletch teaser. It kind of reminds me of a calm before a chase, leaving who is chasing who a mystery.
i’m honestly blown away by everything so far it’s amazing!! i love learning more about your characters and seeing them get fleshed out more. the opferfleisch snippet sounds great 🤘the opening reminded me of being at the bottom of a dark abandoned well, then the heavier it got it was like seeing the light.
you're spoiling us 🩷🥺
Watching the making of this VN is as interesting as the actual game, it's legitimately impressive. So grateful for everything you've shared so far, keep up the phenomenal work!
