@automaticcheesecakenacho’s Valentines + Arsenik's White Day Reply [3/3] (+ Game Preview)

@automaticcheesecakenacho sent this Valentine to Arsenik:

Arsenik's White Day reply:

"...Are you showing more of him as a waiter or as a host here?"

"Host, waiter - they're fairly similar, aren't they?"

"They've got some differences. Never been to a host cafe, club, whatever, but from what I hear -"

"WE SHOULD HAVE ENDED WITH THE TEDDY BEAR."

"See? Look at that magnificent specimen."

"I hope you're referring to the teddy bear and not yourself. Can't say I would put it past you to do so.

Either way, I would rather see this as me being a waiter for my valentine. I'm not interested in being a host for just any woman. Only for the one who has my heart."

"Why are you shirtless?"

"All the better to hug her with.

Just kidding."

"I was going to say - that's my teddy bear's line."

"This is clearly from before you cut your hair?"

"If anything, it's a modern AU where I didn't feel the need to cut my hair and I'm a waiter at a restaurant...where I'm hoping to see my favorite customer walk through the door and serve her."

"That still doesn't explain why you're shirtless."

Happy belated Valentine's Day/White Day, everyone!

That was the last Valentine/White Day reply. If you sent a Valentine within the submission period and you didn't get a White Day reply back because I accidentally missed it, please let me know ASAP so I can make you one!

About this comic - I was playing around with a rendering program to see if I could mix 3D with the game's artwork. Since I already had it up, I thought I might as well fulfill your Valentine kabedon request with it, @automaticcheesecakenacho! Hope you like it and don't mind the fact it was more 3D instead of straight 2D anime.

I also thought it might be a nifty bonus for Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces) fans and that it'd be a nice way to end the White Day train of replies.

In the game, Arsenik will very likely have more of an anime/semi-realistic look, so don't expect to see this more realistic/3D one there. Otherwise, it'd clash with the renovated art style, which I'll show you a preview of here:

(Please note that it may be subject to further polishing in the future!) Here's (Present Day) Ambrosia! I remember showing my patreons another variation of this and asking them which style they prefer. This is the one that won!

(Speaking of which, you see that first panel of Arsenik in the comic above? My patreon family can look forward to seeing the full image of that one when I post an update for this month!)

Anyway, you can see that Arsenik's 3D model would not mesh well with this current art style. Perhaps his abs can be rendered that way, though.

Consider this your White Day treat, one that can help you visualize how Arsenik would look more realistically as well. (He has always been characterized as having a long face, slanting cheekbones, a straight nose bridge, and alluring blue eyes.) You also get a glimpse of his modern day fashion - the panels where he's wearing clothes, that is. I promise he doesn't walk shirtless in public for no reason...like a certain somebody.

Either way, this was fun. Here's hoping it'll put some spring in your step for the start of spring!

Have a Happy White Day!

Women of Xal is 15% off in the Steam Summer Sale!

Hey, did you know that Steam doesn’t let you talk about summer sale stuff before the sale actually begins? If you didn’t know, then now we both know! Anyway, the visual novel Women of Xal (WoX) is on sale now. If you’re new to this, don’t worry: so are we. WoX is our company’s first game.

[steam][itch.io]

You’ll follow Xjena as she begins her climb up the dangerous political ladder against other women eying the same powerful position of Matriarch in an alien society where lying is impossible. Utilize your powers to rewind time as you choose whether to help and support those around you directly, focus on the future, or take advantage of your position to exploit others!

10 to 20 hour story, depending on how much you use the aforementioned rewind function, with countless branching paths.

Four major endings: two bad, one neutral, and one good. Plus a bunch of ways to accidentally end things early by getting Xjena killed.

12 full character arcs with most having options for either romance OR friend routes! 7 women and 8 men. They’re not mutually exclusive, either; you can do multiple arcs in one run. That means…

That’s right, polyamory is available. As is an aro/ace playthrough! You won’t be forced into smooches you don’t want.

Over 100 individual unlockable CGs and selfies. Is that too many? I mean, maybe.

140 minute soundtrack with familiar Jazzy vibes, niche ambiance and synth-heavy tracks, and genres I’m pretty sure the composer (see: me) made up.

If you’re worried about a POC, queer cast being written by an unknown staff, then fear not; you’re not the only one who is asking that question. Our head writer/composer/founder is a Black man, and our co-writer/co-founder is a bi woman. You can see more about our staff on our official website, or just drop by our tumblr and shoot us an ask.

Jump into the lore today! The water is fine. Solve mysteries, make your new friends smile, and go on a journey that will stick with you for a long, long time. Go to Steam for more information and to purchase the game!

(Or, if you’re wary of the Valve overlords, we do also have the game on itch.io. u-u)

Get Ready to Discover Hokkaido Through a Unique Journey, Yukar From The Abyss

Yukar From The Abyss journey into the otome visual novel game is still due to get a Linux and Steam Deck release with Windows PC. Based on further information provided by the developer LocaGames. Currently available on Steam with 88% Positive reviews. Kurumi Oki's life in Tokyo was hectic and tiring. Wanting a change, she moved to Hokkaido. But little did she know, her life was about to become an unusual journey that is Yukar From The Abyss. As for native support going forward, here's a status update:

...our last update on Steam broke proton compatibility on Steam Deck so it currently doesn't run. Now that we have time to dedicate to Steam Deck and Linux we are working on fixing it ASAP, and getting a native Linux version off the ground.

The team at LocaGames has been putting their efforts into launching the game on Switch. As a result, their journey came to a halt, since their latest update broke Proton support for Yukar From The Abyss. Which is what they were counting on for the Steam Deck. But the good news is, since the game is built with Unity 3D, they're now working towards developing a native port for both Linux and Steam Deck.

The Unexpected Beginning:

One night, Kurumi was coming back from hanging out with her friends. She fell asleep on the train and missed her stop. She woke up at a strange station called Kamuy Mosir. Feeling lost and trying to find her way, she stumbled upon a group of people dressed in unusual costumes, celebrating something. But things took a wild turn when they started chasing her, and a young man caught her. He said something unbelievable – Kurumi was dead, and he was taking her to the underworld.

What makes the Yukar From The Abyss journey unique is that your choices also decide what happens next. Since your decisions will guide Kurumi's fate. Will she find happiness, or is a darker destiny waiting for her?

Learn Ainu Language: The story includes a feature to learn about the ancient Ainu language.

@violet-moon-universe's Friendship Valentine + Chase's Reply

@violet-moon-universe sent this friendship Valentine to Chase:

Chase's reply:

"No clouds this time, huh? But you're still in the sky...you really want to be known as a dead guy, don't you?"

"There's nothing dead about this one or the last one either!"

"I don't know about the last one, but this one definitely seems less dead. I think. I mean, I could see how it looks like there's a balloon being released in memory of you."

"I'm not dead, and this is a happy balloon!"

"There sure are a lot of hearts for a friendship response."

"It's Valentine's Day - I mean, White Day. Whichever one, it's supposed to come with hearts, right?"

"Oh, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm only teasing."

"Your White Day response looks fine, Sir Chase. I think the balloons are cute."

"We all float down here..."

"What?!"

[thearcanagame]

We finally got them all to sit still for a picture! What type of animal would you prefer as your own familiar?
