Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle
UPDATE 25/1/2021!
Hey, guys! Thanks for waiting and I'm sorry for being late!
I had too much fun programming the comic relief scene, overslept, and had to do something else before updating >_<;
I was pretty productive last week, especially in terms of programming~
I programmed in 20 pages~
I also polished a Close Up scene with Damaris , one of the Super Patrons' OC (This includes her Close Up sprite, her expressions, + 1 item icon).
We're entering what I like to call 'The Prelude before Climax'. This Prelude consists of a few big scenes, their purpose is to slowly increase the tension, preparing the stage for the antagonist + uncovering the mysteries before the final fight begins at page 400ish.
The reason why it takes so long and why it takes so many pages just for a fight is because...the closer you are to the ending, the more branching there would be. Depending on which bachelor route you're on, the fight will develop in a different way so look forward to it!
The rest of the pages are the good and bad endings, including epilogues~
So... yeah. That's it for today's update~ now you can imagine what I've planned for you, right? -^.^-
I'll be busy programming as usual next week but if you need me, I'll be here!
xoxo,
SweetChiel

Q&A session part 26! If you have any questions for the bachelors, don't hesitate and type away!
1.) What is your favorite holiday/celebration?--by: Sesame seed
Kahlil: "Halloween and Valentine! Because I get to eat lots of sweets!"
Guntur: "National Food Days! There are lots of cheap foods and free coupons. Who wouldn't like them?"
Arya: "Chinese New Year and Christmas. Go figure."
Kahlil: "Because you'd get gifts and red envelopes, right?"
Arya: "...You can say that, but I hate the fireworks."
2.) How much do each of them like hugs? --by: MermaidVictory
Guntur: "I don't mind it, but people are usually to scared/intimidated of me to think of giving me one. Unlike this guy over here."
Kahlil: "Hugs? I love hugs! I can't get enough of them--they cheer you up and make your days better!"
Guntur: "See? He's someone who wouldn't mind holding a sign with 'FREE HUGS' on it or wear a mascot costume to give hugs to children."
Kahlil: "Those are great ideas! I haven't worn a mascot costume before!"
Guntur: "Good for you then. Arya on the other hand..."
Arya: "Don't. Even. Think about it."
Kahlil: "Tsk." *pulls back his outstretched hands*

Hello Chiel, thank you for your hardwork!
I won't be saying much since I have something to do (read: sleep), but just know that I'm internally bouncing imagining how the complete game will be! I don't know, suddenly I remember there's a secret route (villain?) and I get excited 😂 [I love drama so I love villain routes in a game 😏 Upupupu.]
Hi PangHerHeart! As always, thanks for dropping by~ and yup! The secret route is for the villain! You can expect lots of drama--you can even get a bad ending from the start of you're not careful lol x"D
Sleep tight and sweet dreams~ <3
Hello Sweetchiel,
I wonder what you do for a living or what you study in college. Is this your main source of income? Just wondering about the creator now rather than the game. I hope you don't mind. I'd like to know more about you sometime. ><;
Hi, yohanlove! Thanks for asking~
I studied Design Communication Visual Animation at college and now I'm a freelancer, making visual novel + do commissions for a living -^.^)/ I've had many kinds of commissions; characters, backgrounds, UI... I did them all, but commissions have been lonely lately QuQ
My earnings are humble, but I'm thankful that it's enough to feed my doggos and pay the bills. I don't have much ambition in life and fortunately, my mom doesn't have much expectation~ so yeah, life is good, simple, and I'm ever grateful for my backer, patrons, and you~ \( -^.^- )/ *hugs
All the best for you!!
Hi SweetChiel,
It's a little late, but in retrospect, I wish you a wonderful New Year! :)
Sorry for my silence over the past few weeks.
These were a bit chaotic or emotionally an up and down for me, mainly due to several corona cases in my environment. Most of them in my close relatives, with whom one of my aunts unfortunately passed away. Fortunately, the others are all doing well again. And then another case at work. Fortunately, I wasn't in close contact and now that's over. My own family is fine and we were not affected. * sigh *
Nonetheless, I've read all of your updates. While that may sound a little weird, your updates always got my mood up for the moment. Let's say they were constant to me. A tiny but helpful detail to take my mind elsewhere. ;)
Thank you, as always, for your great work and for making such good progress. And curiosity keeps growing. I'm still very excited. Keep it up. ;)
Haha ... "Arya:" Don't. Even. Think about it. ""
Well, let's hope he gets "tamer". And in the end there is someone he even wants to do more than just hug. * wink *
One more little thing: Either you laugh or think I'm totally crazy. I hope the former. When I see snow, I sometimes think of your comment that this "phenomenon" is alien to you. Some time ago it snowed here and I recorded it with my new cell phone (the old one was unfortunately broken). Here for you to see: https://we.tl/t-hj1vzbUUIK
See you
Yanonako
Hi, Yanonako!
It's alright, I understand >< corona does take a lot from us and there are cases which I'm worried about--they're dangerously close to my uncle's house. We can only hope the newly distributed vaccine works, but just to be safe; stay at home as much as you can, wash your hands often, take a bath after going outside, and keep a safe distance from others (um, I'm sorry if I sound like I'm nagging ><; I'm sure you already know).
Nevertheless, I'm glad that my updates can brighten your day, even if it's just by a little bit!
Hang in there! I believe that things will slowly get better this year \( - ^ . ^ - )/ *cyber hugs incoming!
And that's so sweet of you to record the snow for my sake! QuQ
They look so beautiful, I wish I was there with you. I'll carefully store this in my HDD >///<
Stay strong and I wish you a Happy New Year!
xoxo,
SweetChiel
Not unexpected of Aria, Kahlil, and Guntur!
LOLOLOL
Aria is more popular than Guntur or Kahlil, never would have guessed that Guntur likes hugs!
I guess i have another question for the, as usual~~
What instrument would you like to play/learn to play? (I play the flute, lol)
Im excited for the release of Nusantara: Bermuda triangle! but still, don't overwork yourself! I have a question for you since there are usually so many questions for the boys, haha.
Do you like anime? if you do, which types are your fav?
Have a nice day!
Hugs~
Woooot! Glad to hear you like their answers, Sesame seed x'D
thanks for participating again~ your questions are noted!
You too, take care and don't sleep late like me! I hope you have a productive and great week! -^.^)/
*Huggg~
Haha, thank you! but that anime question was meant for you~
Hugs~
Hi, Sesame seed!
I somehow missed that it's for me rofl
Hmm... that's a difficult question!
What first come to mind is Inuyasha. It's my first anime and my first crush is there, Sesshomaru x'D
I also love all Ghibli Movies, especially Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, and the Cat's Return~
You might've guessed this already, but my fave type is ones that have Fantasy element mixed with bits of Romance >///< However, I've been dipping my hands into Dark-Fantasy lately (to polish my bad ends + angst element *cough*)
What about you, Sesame seed? OuO
I am speechless.......
all of those animes (except Inuyasha, haven't seen it) that you listed are my fav! I've watched them before, also, in howl's moving castle, I found the kid that was pretending to be an old wizard very adorable! and for spirited away, I don't know why, but I had shipped the daughter with the dude with shoulder-length hair (i forgot their names because I watched this a couple of months ago). I haven't watched Inuyasha, so ill try to watch it after I finish my 19 assignments T-T.
I agree that fantasy anime is da best! I especially am obsessed with the vampire ones, idk why. there is this one anime that I REALLY recommend for you to watch, its called Hotarubi No Mori E! although I will warn you, it's kinda sad...
hmm, I like to see romance in all animes, because I ship characters, but it's so depressing to see that a lot of high-budget animes end with a sad ending. Like, they make the guys so good looking! Cries
I recommend you to watch Toradora, it's so heartwarming, aaaaand funny!
sorry for my late reply!
hugs~~
Aah... I can't believe that we like the same things! I feel the same!
Howl's Moving Castle is probably my go-to-movie whenever I feel down/sad. I'm also shipping Chihiro and Haku (the dragon boy) from Spirited Away!
I've also watched Hotarubi No Mori E a long time ago and I still remember it today!! My heart ached so much and I cried a river Q_Q I had to look for a fanfic to wash away the sadness--but yeah, it was a great movie!
As for Toradora... can I call you sister? The coincidence is too much! I've also watched this! It's rare to have a normal/average-looking protagonist and oh boy, it exceeded my expectations >///<
Surprisingly enough, I don't know any other vampire animes except for Vampire Knight O.O
But I have lots of fantasy anime recommendations for you! Wolf Children: Ame & Yuki, The Boy and The Beast, Ronja: The Robber's Daughter, Kemono no Souja: Erin, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (sad one), Fuse: Teppo Musume (also a sad one), Summer Wars, Kimi no Na Wa....
...I hope I didn't overwhelm you x_x;
it's been a while since I met a kindred spirit!
And don't worry about late replies! I do the same x'D *Huugs
You are doing a great goob, take care of yourself and sleep, eat, play or do what you want/need to do to keep healthy and happy.
I always read the updates, but usually I don't know what to write, get too anxious to write and English it's not my forte...
But today a woke up a little more brave so...
( > * w * ) > *a BIG hug for Chiel, Guntur and Kahlil*
:3....and here is somebody who doesn't like hugs....
( > * w * ) > "I will give you coffe with loots of sugar if you acept a hug"
TT^TT I love hugging people, but now I can't for safety ! ! !
Hi, kidanshiro!
D'aww that's brave and sweet of you! I'm very happy to hear you've been watching over me from the shadows so thanks for dropping by to give us a hug ^///^ I also love hugs but unfortunately, we can't do it now for safety Q^Q
\ (- > u < -) / *A BIIG cyber hug from Guntur, Kahlil, and I! *Yay! Group hug! *
As for Arya...
*offers him your coffee
Arya: "........."
*After a long while, he reluctantly accepts it*
Arya: "Just one. No less, no more."
Arya: "As long as you don't start acting like that damn fox, we're good."
(- O u O)!
Oh my, it seems that you've picked the right method to persuade him!
Arya is weak to gentle persuasion, not by force *hint hint*
I hope to see you around~
xoxo,
SweetChiel
