Still in progress, and nearing the end (I hope!)


Hello, everyone!

I know it's been six years since the last update, so this project might seem dead. The good news is that this is rather the opposite - I'm actually working on writing up the final (true ending) path. I can't promise this game will be out very soon, but I do hope that I will soon be in a position to start commissioning art, music, and posting more significant asset updates. 

This project has been progressing very slowly for various reasons. For those who've been following me from the start when I first started making games like RE: Prince of Nigeria and Crimson Rafflesia, I was just a high schooler then making games as a creative outlet as a teenager. Since then, much has happened in my life: I became an adult, I went to college, I went to professional school, and became a standard, long-hours, office-worker. More professional and personal commitments came up that I had no time to spend on my hobbies from before. 

But I didn't want to give up on the ideas that I had from before, so here I am again, determined to make sure that I get Fantasy Euthanasia done, whatever it takes. This will be my first big completed game, so I am super excited. It currently stands at about 300,000 words, so this should be a pretty sizable visual novel, and hopefully an engaging story. 

I wasn't going to post much until I've actually completed the game, but when I logged into Itch.io again this morning, I was so surprised and touched to see that even till this day, I was still receiving downloads and donations for my game. I had forgotten that there were still people who wanted to see my work, and were waiting for it. 

I hope the fans who've been following me are happy to see that this is still in progress. 

Thank you so, so much for all your support and for giving me the motivation to keep going!

Hi Coren! I've been a big fan of yours since RE:Prince of Nigeria (funniest VN ever- I laughed so hard and replayed it whenever I need a good laugh). 

Can totally relate to adulting, I barely have time to do dev work anymore T.T 

Looking forward to Fantasy Euthanasia and good luck on development!! :D

thank you so much Elseth!! The positive part of adulting is that while I now have less time, I have more budget and flexibility to shape what I want to make. So I’m really excited and hope to be able to share something soon!
