- Demo 4.0 Has Arrived! - 1 September 2026
Dear Lords and Ladies of the Ravensburg Court,My dear husband tells me: “The time you spend polishing your demo and marketing on social media is time you’re not spending working on your game!” And he’s completely right, of course.But… How can I not show off what I’ve been working on since the last demo, especially when I’m participating in Fall in Love Festival, which kicks off TODAY?So, let’s take a look at what you’ll find in the latest demo (Demo 4.0) that's just dropped today!Story TreeOne of the biggest updates in this demo is the new Story Tree.I’ve taken an audacious move and gotten rid of the traditional Save/Load pages. Instead, your progress is now represented by a story tree made up of circular “nodes.”\The game automatically saves your progress at these nodes, and you can return to them later to continue the story from that point. This means you can now wander through the tr…

Hello esteemed lords and ladies of the Ravensburg court!First of all, big thanks to everyone who played the new demo! I’m incredibly grateful for the positive responses from the community about the latest update. Reading your feedback has made all those sleepless nights spent working on the game worthwhile.Over the past month, here are some of the things I’ve been working on:ScriptI revisited Lucian’s route and expanded the branching paths. His route now includes 3 major endings, 2 minor endings, and several accidental endings.Every decision you make, including how you think and react to the characters, will influence how relationships develop and the story unfolds.AnimationI’ve also made several code improvements.

- Unmasking Lucian: Sprite & Story Update - 27 October 2025
Hey everyone!I’ve been working hard on the Lucian script over the last few months, and I’m thrilled to announce that it's now complete! Lucian is a complex, morally grey character. He’s charismatic, mysterious, and a little hard to win over… but trust me, it’s worth it. Writing his route has been such a fun challenge, capturing both his charm and his calculating side. Let’s just say... his story is full of layers, and plenty of push and pull along the way.I’ve also updated his sprite to better reflect the kind of prince he is. Check out the before and after images below.Original DesignSecond DesignCurrent DesignThanks for reading this far! Here’s a little bonus for those who made it here: Lucian wearing something a bit more casual. You're welcome!Thank you all for your patience and support!Please join my Discord for sneak peeks, progress news, and behind-the-scenes chats!
