Project Update

Hello friends and fans. I want to apologize yet again for leaving everyone hanging. I would like to share that this project will no longer be continuing. Due to everyone's personal circumstances, it has been difficult to meet and to create the game. In regard to my own personal struggles, I had a suspected mini-stroke back in November that has caused neuropathy on top of already having fibromyalgia. On top of my recovery being a mess of cognitive issues, I lost someone who was like a second father to me, as well as my best friend of 18 years. I hope this gives some clarity as to why the project was a little abandoned, and I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to providing this update sooner. With my life finally reaching a level of normalcy between returning to school and being able to function properly at my job again, I have mustered up passion and inspiration for the first time in months (after getting piercing and tattoo therapy lmao). I will be creating my own game inspired by the storyline of this fan project and a webtoon I wrote years ago. I'll give shameless plug of the blog once I have actual material to share, if any of you are curious or want to follow along the journey of building that game.

Thank you for all of your support and love to this game. I'm disappointed that it ended like this, but life sometimes has a way of steering you off the rails.

Hello friends and fans!! I finally have some updates for ya’ll!

I’ve been working on this project alone for months, specifically since the day Pixelberry announced they will no longer continue forward with Immortal Desires. I was so crushed and saw so many other players and fans feel the same way. So, I decided to start messing around with making my own fan sequel after seeing @itlivesproject @thedistantshoresproject and @nightboundthesecond doing so well and seeing amazing products. I’m going to school for a BA in Game Art and Design, and my minor is Creative Writing, and I thought this would be a good go for my first video game. And I couldn’t be more excited to see things falling into place! I now have a writer onboard! Meet Mir! @timetravesty​ Hey everyone, I’m Mir and I’ll be helping out with the Immortal Desires 2 project! I’m a writer here on tumblr (couple of months till I hit the 1 year mark😯) and am really excited to be a part of this amazing project with everyone, but more importantly, helping deliver an amazing story to a series that ended too soon! Since we might know each other for a bit, some fun facts about me 🤔I’ve wanted a dog since I was around 6. I probably listen to my Spotify account 20/24 hours in the day.My favorite video games to play are animal crossing, stardew, undertale, Minecraft, and I was pretty into Haven recently, which I highly recommend 😌My favorite ghibli movie (since I had a marathon recently) is spirited away.I’m very excited for the future of this project and please look forward to future updates! 😗Nice to meet you all!

We’re still slowly moving, but, Mir and I have started expanding upon the plot points I’ve had planned for a while. We’re confident we’re going to be able to work well together to deliver a wonderful, full story for all of you.

And I couldn’t forget Ally! @fuckyeahilovemarcolinfan​

I’ve been a long-time fan and player of Choices; I started playing in December of 2016, but I started getting into the fandom somewhere around the end of 2018, and started on an IG that I created way back in 2014. I didn’t really intend to make my IG account about Choices, but I wanted to connect with people who have the same interests as me, and to share my ideas and opinions about the book releases. A very dear friend of mine started teaching me how to collect assets at some point in time, and I’ve been kind of considered a Spoiler Queen ever since then lol. I focused on posting premium scenes because I want everyone to see those scenes since not everyone can afford them. I started making edits way back in October 2019 because I really wanted people to distinguish me. All in all, I’m very fortunate that my best bud showed me how to access these assets.

Ally has been wonderful in helping me acquire assets and just being super supportive and so helpful. She is so enthusiastic about this project and has been just giving the best vibes!

Now that you’ve met the team, time for some awaited updates for ya’ll! First, lets start with the preview!!.

So, to state the obvious, this is everyone in their formal wear! I have also given all of the side characters formal wear, but I felt like these are what the people are screaming for! And of course, we have our lil Sethy-poo included in here too and he got a makeover! If you would be so kind to click play at the video at the top because it’s featuring a rough draft of the title song. It’s my own lil creation, however, I’m recruiting folks from my local music scene to not only help out with this project, but to help support their bands and their projects!

Super bummed that the quality of these dropped because of the formatting, but I have included all three of the new expressions I’ve created: playful, shy, and disgusted. All of the main and primary characters have these faces! I have also gotten all of the female MC sprite sheets done, most of the female clothes, and all of the hair; I’m so excited to give you guys that update in the future!! From here, Mir and I will be working on a very rough draft of the story. I will continue working on assets for the MC since almost all of the primary/main characters are done. 

The next update will likely be a few weeks from now; I’m not sure what I’ll have for ya’ll quite yet, but please stay tuned and ask any and all questions. Thank you all for the overwhelming amount of support and love; it’s greatly appreciate between me and the team.

Immortal Desires Project Update!! [Finally]

Hello my friends! I'm so sorry about the radio silence. There's been a lot going on in my personal life, so progress has been a little slow!

However, I have some big updates and more sneak peeks, including three new characters, since I've starved you all of updates.

To start: We're looking for more writers. One of our writers had to back away for personal reasons, so it's down to a two people team. If you're interested, pop into the message box so we can chat :) To be able to join the team, you must be 18+. No exceptions to this rule.

In way of programming... There's been a lot of progress. I've been working on this for weeks now, and for being literally brand-spanking-new to the world of coding, there's a lot of progress and it's coming out well. The custom character menu is done, animations for various objects are done... Just have to tighten some screws and we're probably good to start implementing the chapters!

... And chapter 1 is nearly complete! The base layout of the story is feeling pretty solid as well. I know this isn't the most comprehensive writing update, but there will be more soon.

There are many new characters being added to the game. It's taken a lot of time to make quite a few of them, minus the more side-esque characters (think of like Margot or Nicole). Speaking of, here are two of your new potential besties! Meet Solana and Julian!

Before we continue, yes, Julian is basically reskinned Donovan from MAH. In my defense, the sprite is just too beautiful to never be used again! He's also a mix with the green-haired bully man who pops up from time to time. At the moment, he's your run-of-the-mill half sprite; I'm hoping to give him an actual body soon. Then we have our non-binary god/dess, Solana! They're not entirely new, but they're heavily edited with hair that is 10/10 stolen from Morgan in HSS:CA; I've always loved Morgan's hair. You can possibly meet them when you first arrive in...

BOSTON! There'll be a slight change in scenery for some of IDFP, but Crimson Beech will still be joining along for the ride.

As for our third new character, one that took me days to work on... [TW: GORE but it's underneath the GIF of how it felt making her and wanting to bash my head into a wall for like a week]

Meet Priscilla! Literally nothing else is being revealed about her!

To close, all of the masc MC sprite sheets are done. However, despite being non-binary myself (as in Devlin), I know nothing about fashion, especially masc/cis-male. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm nothing but an edgy punk and don't explore much outside of that, outside of wearing slacks and button ups to work. Anywhoo, all of the original outfits in ID have been resized to the new body sizes! I also have a few new outfits for the masc MC!

And here's a couple more femme MC sprites I fiddled with!

Thank you all for the support, despite Pixelberry announcing an official ID2. I've definitely been feeling the love, and again, I do apologize for the lack of updates. Between school, personal bizz, work, and developing this project, it's been hard to squeeze in the time. Maybe I'll try my hand at doing text updates for the future; I just like being able to have substance for all of you.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO ASK US QUESTIONS. We like answering them (unless they don't have an answer, am sorry)! We want to know about ya'lls opinions and curiosities. Without all of you, this game would not be in development and it may have been dropped by now if we didn't have all of this support coming our way. Truly, thank you.

[immortaldesiresproject]

Many Moons Later Update!

Hey friends! Long time no talk!

I just want to apologize to start for the lack of updates during the past few months. There has been a lot going on in my personal life that has added some complications into progress on the project. The team has also had their own personal happenings going on, so we've all had to tone down the amount of work that has been putting. But rest assured, we are still working on this book!

As the main [and only] artist working on all of the assets, I wanted to provide some updates on some of the MC skins! To start, I came to the conclusion in April that I... well, hated most of the MC skins that I had initially made. So I have started going through and making newer and improved skins since the skill sets I've used have improved greatly since I started this project.

The only ones that have been completed at this time (as of yesterday actually!) are the femme!MC skins. And here's the updated ones below. The left is before and the right is after. The last three are the last 3 femme!MC skins that have not been previously shared.

And here they are! I'm much happier with the results of these femme!MC, and hope all of you are too. I want the quality of life while playing this game to be top notch, and this helps us get one step closer.

Please remember, the ask box is always open. I try to answer the questions as frequently as I can and I will be setting my attention on the project a lot more now that my motivation is making an appearance haha!

Thank you all so much for your support and patience with us! It really goes a long way and words cannot describe how much we appreciate it and all of the kindness.

Project Update

Hi friends!!

I wanted to give it a couple of days for the hype to die down since we've received a few questions about if we'll be continuing this project. The verdict is: Yes!

We've already put a lot of work into this project. And the thought of seeing everything we've done go to the garbage bin is, well, gutting. There's so much we have in store for ya'll. We want to veer from the typical "Choices" route with their stories and the layout, as well as introduce brand new characters and stories that haven't been talked about. There's a lot of love that's gone into it, and frankly, it'd be such a waste to just let it go. While we're excited for the sequel on PB's behalf, there's a lot we have in store that should most definitely see the light of day.

I know there has been a lot of radio silence on our end, and for that, we're sorry. I've been working on the coding and physically building the game and assets and @timetravesty @buttercup--bee have been working on the scripts. We'll have an update soon, we swear it. Life just has a real good way of interrupting the things you want to do sometimes.

Thank ya'll for tuning in and all of the support <3

[immortaldesiresproject]

Hello friends!

Welcome to update #2! I’m very excited for this one. I’ve worked very hard for the past couple of weeks and been busy with both this project and one (not related to ID whatsoever lmao) for administration at work!

Before getting started, I do want to apologize for the inconsistent updates and posts. Please bear with us, as we’re now a small team of four; Mir: @timetravesty, our new writer Ava: @buttercup--bee (we’ll have her introduction for ya’ll soon), Ally: @marcolinfanmarcooo, and myself, Dev! We are working hard behind the scenes and trying to get the ball rolling a little faster for all of you wonderful people!

One of our members, Ally, is taking a step back due to the tropical storm Nalgae that hit the Philippines on October 29th. Please check out Ally’s page to learn how to support or donate. Her family was heavily affected and they deserve all the help that they can get.

I also want to let you all know that I’m not going to be answering certain questions that come into the ask box. Reason being is… We don’t have the answers for some of them quite yet. I don’t want to answer anything and give false promises! While there are things that are subject to change during the writing process, we haven’t quite started on the scripting yet. We’re getting there though! I’ll still be answering questions, but it’ll just be the ones that we’ve been able to answer behind the scenes. However, we won’t give specific spoilers!!

For general and writing updates: 

As soon as I have all of the primary assets ready to go, I'll be ready to start building the UI! I'm aiming to get a character creation menu done to showcase what the general layout of the game will look like. Maybe ya'll might even see a mock scene from us in the future, if the UI is strong enough ;)

We are piecing together the direction of the story right now and we’re heading in a wonderful direction. We’ll have more updates for you soon in terms of story progression and the general completion. One thing I can tell you is that vampires aren’t the only spooky bois in this world…

For asset and character updates: I’ve been working on new MC sprites between F!MC’s and M!MC’s, new clothing, and new hairstyles. I took some time to evaluate how I felt about the original F!MC’s I had finished. I initially created just one new sprite sheet, and the rest looked, well, boring. I started from scratch for a lot of them, and while it takes forever, I’ve been having fun! Quite a few of the M!MC sprite sheets are done, but there are tweaks I’d like to make before releasing them to all of you. You’ll get to see the new M!MCs soon, I promise you!

Admittedly, I have more erm -- edgier clothing because I'm an edgelord. One of the things I've been working on is making other style and varieties of clothing to ensure it's inclusive to everyone and their preferences. Another fun addition I'm aiming to add are accessories, much like @itlivesproject. Hopefully this is exciting news, but I have two new body types for both F!MC and M!MC. They vary from: fit, thin, and thicc. There are also eight different sprites for both F!MC and M!MC!! I was very excited to see that both the MC Sprites and the new outfits tied for first place in the poll a couple weeks ago! New hair/hijabs was a close last second/third(?) place, so naturally, I’m gonna show ya’ll a few of those too!

Thank you all for your support! It's meant the world to us and we're so thrilled for this project to continue progressing.

Ya'll just make me wanna

[immortaldesiresproject]

Will you be taking on testers for the game?

Yes we will!

While we don't have an eta on release, nor updates at this time, I do hope to have a small group of testers, including the team, for each chapter to ensure that the chapters are running smoothly.

Ultimately, I would like to set up a beta test once we have a bit more content completed. We're hoping for this to be sooner than later!

[immortaldesiresproject]

Are you guys still working on this?

Hey there! I'm so sorry for the belated response on this. Yes we are! There have been a lot of circumstances in all of our personal lives that have stifled some of our progress, but the game is absolutely still being worked on :)

[immortaldesiresproject]

If the recent pixelberry teaser is actually about Immortal Desires what will happen to this project?

Honestly, we don't know in full. It's certainly out of left field for us and a little surprising -- especially given that I started this project the day that they announced it was a stand alone. However, it's all just speculation at this time. We're going to continue putting work into this project. For myself, this is my passion project and my first game. It's been so wonderful to work on and I'm so happy with what we've achieved behind the scenes. So much work has been put into this project, and it'd really be a shame to drop the project. We have so much in store for y'all and want to share it with all of you supporters. I guess we'll have to wait to see and play it by ear for now.

[immortaldesiresproject]

Will this project be delayed until after ID 2 has been released? As the main characters are PB’s and now since book two has been announced, it might cause an issue down the line, seeing this was seen as the sequel.

We're going to continue this project at our pace. We don't know when we'll be releasing due to the small team we have. We've been clear from the beginning that this was a fan project. We are NOT Choices employees or affiliated, just fans who wanted to share our ideas via a fan project. We're still very excited about the project and to show our ideas to all of you :)

[immortaldesiresproject]

When you discover another update is on its way

I ask you once more to keep them eye balls peeled this week 👀👀 So sorry for the ghosting!! Life has been busy busy, but we haven't forgotten about all of you 😬😬 or the game for that matter.

[immortaldesiresproject]

Found something interesting....

Was looking for street fashion for some inspiration and I stumbled upon...

And I realized from editing a certain outfit...

Just thought it was cool to see they go through the same process and I wanted to share it with ya'll :)

[immortaldesiresproject]

About PB announcing a continuation, don't give up. You dedicated yourself to this and if you want to continue, we fully support you! Plus, knowing PB, they'll probably cancel the sequel, it's not the first time.

That's very true haha, that's something we kind of talked about earlier today. We've all been putting in a lot of work, especially being such a small team. For myself, it'd be very gutting to not be able to share what we have for all of you. We don't plan on giving up anytime soon!

I also want to thank you for your kind words and support 💖 we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for y'all ☺️💖

[immortaldesiresproject]

will you guys be exploring any romantic dynamic between Cas and Gabe? i was disappointed that PB never let us have a true Poly route with those two finally confessing their (to me, obvious) crushes on each other :(

We'll absolutely be exploring the dynamic as a whole. We agree that it wasn't very well explored whatsoever and it deserves some love

[immortaldesiresproject]

Please for the love of all that is holy in the world, even is PB does make their own number 2 I want to see what direction you guys go so please keep making this!!!!!!!!

🥺🥺💖 it really warms my heart to hear that. We'll continue working hard!!

[immortaldesiresproject]

Will there be 17+ scenes or will it be like the first book and keep everything pg?

So overall, the book will be labeled as 17+ due to language and certain non-sexual scenes/chapters.

But to answer the real question here, yes, there will be a few 17+ scenie weenies, if you catch my drift
