Open Beta Announcement!


Scarlet Dream: Crimson Night Open Beta is in the works!

This is a bit of a shift from my original plan to complete everything then sell the game at a flat price. Why? Honestly because I have so much done, it’s a stupidly huge first game, and I want to let people see it in case anything happens to me and I vanish off the face of the earth.

Here’s the plan:
>Final version will release for 15$

>Any Patreon that has donated 10$ +
(or 10$ in the course of being a Patreon) will receive the open beta first.
>The open beta will release later on itch.io for 10$

Therefore, joining into the open beta will be much cheaper then waiting for a final game! Because yes, it’s unfinished, and supporting me now is worth saving you money from later ❤

Now for what I’ve done in the last two weeks or so:

Progress and Stickers

Here’s a comparison of changes to sprites:

I’m mainly cleaning up the game of sketches- and trying to improve the existing sprites for the upcoming open beta for Patreons. (https://www.patreon.com/Mutation)

Two bosses need a complete set of sprite sheets- and otherwise all sprites are getting a cleaned up outline. The open beta will start area by area- starting with roughly the first half of the game.

There’s no set date- which is just as well because I’d been helping an aunt move things after her house flooded.

In the mean time- I’m still between jobs and in a new apartment, so I set up stickers as a new item in my teepublic store, in case you’d like some!

Also don’t be afraid to subscribe to the store-
So you’ll always know when new items go up! (and have the opening discount sale!)

Battlebacks and editing

I feel a bit of shame whenever I cannot complete as much as I would like for the game, but here’s some Battlebacks~

One of the main problems with getting stuff done lately is strictly that my weekends and weekdays aren’t my own anymore. Not that I have kids- but I have a family. Some days I just need to come help someone move a snow blower, the other days people have a dentist appointment.

I haven’t really talked about it since I’d like my game blog to focus on, well, my game.

That said, I’m moving and that may require many things- including trying to get into a snowed-in storage unit. Which might have a broken door. I’ll try to make an update post next week, but don’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen.

Weekly Update; Battlebacks!

Two days ago I said I’d try to do a battleback a day since they’re kind of easy- but already broke that. That said, they’re fairly quick and fun to make. Pretty, painty- simple. If there’s huge weirdness with them I’ll try to fix before release.
That said- time to turn these bad boys out!
And I got more VA lines to work with ❤


Belated Weekly Update!

So we got -60 windchill, and snow like heck! So this is hella late. But here’s the progress before a fun weekend of cold. Working on some of the harder sprites and a biiiiig cutscene- nothing in particular complete, just wip of an array of necessary things.

Weekly Update!

Hope you’re having a good Martin Luther King Jr. day if you’re in the US! Not that it’s particularly a party holiday with anything you do- but have a good one!


This Week I’ve been working on spoiler heavy cutscenes!
DANG IT.
I can’t share anything, but I’m always glad to tell you guys that things are moving along.

CG Overview:

This last week’s work includes more sprites- 2 animations complete. And one CG linearted with color.
Rather then talk about how these are plot things and late game, I just wanted to give you an image of some of the CG and show how far I’ve gotten on all of them.

Many of the main story cutscenes are done- those that aren’t finished are Endings, certain midpoint cutscenes, and some incidental cutscenes that may not last.

It definitely looks like finishing the game fast requires patching in the other routes post release, and starting with just Anthier and Crass’. It would certainly put me at ease knowing the game can be sold and enjoyed- but it gives less time to just purely polish with all the parts in place. Hmmn.

Happy New Years~!

As a gift to help reign in 2019, I started a shop on TeePublic to sell Scarlet Dream related Merchandise! Click here to go see it

Now onto the actual update!
2019 is going to be a LOT of work

I’m going to give an estimate on sprites and pictures left to do.
Battle Sprites: 55~53 sheets.
To cut down on work I’ve decided to leave them flat colored instead of fully shaded like the character portraits.

Picture Cutscenes : 150~ ?
Stopped counting at 192 sketches. A lot will be dropped. More are already VERY slight variations of a previous image. (Face/expression change)

I should have be more sparing when I sketched these. That said, I’m going to use January to cut out images that are unnecessary.

The current plan is to finish the base game and three routes (I’m looking at Anthier, Crass, and Leen) and then keep working on other character routes as basically free DLC/updates that will come in time.

Holiday Greeting!

Hope you’re having a good one!

I merely managed some spritework- -BUT–!
I did edit out some bugs of the demo and uploaded a new version to itch.io for you!

You can find it here~
