Official Walkthrough + Minor Update

Hello and Happy Valentines' Week!

Thank you so much for playing Froot Basket: Dark Chocolate! I have just finished putting the walkthrough together. It contains major spoilers for the game, so please use with caution if you do not want to be spoiled.

You can find the walkthrough here, or you can download the PDF file when you download the game. 

This walkthrough was much harder to put together than FBV's one because there are no "routes" that lead to specific endings. Rather, this game has achievements. Your experience of the game is supposed to be a little different with every playthrough based on choices you make. Though, I'll admit, it can become redundant :''D  Nevertheless, I hope you will or have already enjoyed it.

Also, I've updated the game! Here's the changelog for Version 1.1:

Added "click here" prompt to clicking mini games

Made some minor changes to dialogue 

Added some expressions with some dialogue between Momo and Sutoro

Also, I missed adding a devlog about it, but you can now play this game in your web browser! I put it on its own page. You can check out the web version here:

Since it's Valentines' Week, I'd also like to remind you that you can get Valentine cards with all the characters (except Jordan) here:

And you can also shop my Furuta Basketball Club collection here~

Thank you again so much for playing my games! I hope you all have a wonderful week!

✨XMACX Monthly✨ | February 2024

Happy February! Thank you again so much for voting for the Cover Model last month! March's Cover Model Poll drops tomorrow!

You may read this month's update as a public post on PTRN or below the cut! You can also see the previous issue here.

Last month went by way too quickly and now Valentines' Day is just around the corner! Then I'll blink and be another year older... This month, I'll be focusing on adding the final touches of Froot Basket: Dark Chocolate and prepping for a White Day (March 15) release. February is a short month, so I know it'll fly by... but we've got a lot of fun stuff including two OC birthdays!

Schedule

February 1 - XMACX Monthly

February 2 - Cover Model Polls

February 7 - Valentine Cards

February 9 - Cover Story

February 14 - Valentines' Day, Sidney's Bday

February 15 - Kurosaki Twin's Bday

February 16 - Art Process

February 23 - FBDC Voice Update released for Patrons!

February 28 - Sketch Dump

Cover Story Preview | Momo's Special Chocolate Recipe

Momo made some special Valentine chocolate for his beloved senpai. This month, he's sharing his special recipe!

Valentine Special

I'll be dropping some Valentine cards for everyone to download and send to your pals! I'm saving Valentines' social media post for Sidney because it's his birthday, so I'll drop the Valentine cards on social media before then.

February's OC Birthdays

This month we're celebrating Sidney, Ken, and Maya's birthdays! Sidney is an adorable red head from my project After-Party Chemistry! Ken and Maya are fraternal twins. They're not associated with any one project right now... But I'll be dropping some fun illustrations and OC lore about them on their respective days for everyone!

VN Development | Froot Basket: Dark Chocolate Release 

I'll be releasing Froot Basket: Dark Chocolate's voiced update for patrons this month! You can play before I drop it on Itch on March 15. Last month, I added a "recustomize Jordan" menu in case you want to swap between Jordan's voices or looks in-game. I also messed around with the Gallery and Achievements screen, but you'll have to see in the update.

Other than prepping for FBDC's Voiced Update Release, I have some marketing art for release to work on lol... I'm planning two different pieces: a new poster featuring all the characters and a piece which features the four different color combinations of Jordans. I don't expect to finish these this month because day job's looking pretty busy, BUT I'm hoping to at least get some sketches done.

Other Goals this Month

I'll be wrapping up some zine pieces and commissions. :^)

Next Month

March 1st falls on a Friday so the Monthly and Polls will drop all on the same day. I can't wait to see who'll make my birth month's cover!

Aloha nui~ Ari

Starborn and Corvus.

I think an argument can be made that Momo is actually in love with Sutoro because he's obsessed with him. Foreal. I mean, the amount of times he stops to think about Sutoro rivals how often he thinks about Jordan.

Enemies to lovers. I'd love that for them lol

One of the updates to Froot Basket Valentine allows you to change the Title Menu display once you've unlocked the "Red" version.
