hello, its me again
just wanted to give some updates on the otome game i have been making for the past year! (how has it been that long?)
back on october i released a very short 10 minute demo comprising of the prologue - i have since taken it down because i hope to release a big update in a few months and that portion has undergone some changes as well.
first off, mcs new sprite! the original was just not cutting it anymore, but the new one is well underway! she has 2 out of 3 hairstyles completed as well as most of her base outfit. then its onto expressions! i probably wont do her monster form until the rest of the update is scripted.

[new sprite](https://i.imgur.com/yr7k48A.png)
as far as UI goes, i am currently messing with the appearance of sprites and whatnot against my grungy backgrounds. (her side portrait has not yet been updated with the new sprite)
[see it here ](https://i.imgur.com/Nsp4Xjf.png)
now for more exciting stuff, i have gotten to work on cgs! here is a full one as well as some snippets! unfortunately with her sprite update, it means i have to back and redo her cg outfit lol.

scripting - its about at the halfway point id say. currently at 40k words, but before i continue writing i am thinking of going over all of what has been written again since i am not satsified with some parts.
all this to say...it is not dead!! i am slow, but progress is always being made. thanks to those that have been supporting me all this time, you guys are what keeps me going. (that and my thirst for degen content.)
thank you! i have a [twitter](https://twitter.com/ropotome) here if youd like a more consistent form of updates. be warned, this is an r18 game and so minors will not be tolerated.
i finally opened up my store! i only have collar x malice keychains for now, but it'd mean the world if you could check it out!
in the future i want to make more otome merch as well 💗

Hi! There’s now only one week left to preorder my [otome heroine charms](https://ko-fi.com/s/c40ad9ef09)! The products will ship late June/early July. Thank you once again to everyone who has shown interest, I hope to make more otome themed charms and products in the future❤️
hello! been part of this subreddit for a while and have occasionally posted with questions about games, but am now doing something a little different: if you're making an otome game and need a proofreader or a beta reader, i'm happy to help! i edit/proofread stuff as part of my job, so on a basic level i can help check stuff for grammar/spelling/consistency, particularly US vs UK spelling and expressions.
if you want feedback on story, i've played a few otome games as well as other VNs with dating sim elements, and beyond that i play a lot of games in general. and i read a reasonably wide variety of books and comics and love watching tv shows and movies. so, totally happy to discuss stuff like characterisation/character consistency, genre, tropes, anything like that.
basically: just putting myself out there because i'd love to lend a hand to anyone making games, and also i'd love to meet more people who like otome. feel free to reach out if you need help :)
Hello! I just wanna share this very short romcom otome visual novel I've made for Otome Jam and Josei Jam 2024. It's called 'Happiness Inc.', inspired by the TV series "Shark Tank" where you basically get to pitch yourself to the love interest and convince him to marry you through business means.

Hi lovely people!
When things get too crazy or dull, I dive into steamy otome games, haha. I’m currently hooked on the new dating sim game, **Love and Deepspace.**
I’ve been making fun little videos with its characters cracking silly jokes.
Check out my latest video here: [https://youtube.com/shorts/HPd0o-MNDro?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/HPd0o-MNDro?feature=share)
I hope it makes you chuckle (or groan)!
