Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle
UPDATE 8/2/2021!
Hey, guys! What's up?
I drew a lot last week, never thought I'd be able to be so productive x_x
I told you that I wanted to make a 'ruined' version of Spring Village, didn't I? I was going to make it simple, like black & white style... but making a stylish black & white background isn't as easy as I thought it'd be 😂 I mean, we're about to face the last boss so I gotta do my best with the backgrounds to match the atmosphere!
What kind of atmosphere? Well, here's a sneak peek for you:
(Full sneak peek preview is available for my $5 patrons~)
For now, I finished 7 backgrounds in total and I think I'll add more variety for the Bad Ends.
I gotta pace myself tho, adjusting the brightness/contrast for these backgrounds are not easy for my eyes x'D
In addition, I drew something small for Valentine! I hope I can finish it on time -^.^)/
Also, I did some programming!
12 pages are programmed in but take this with a grain of salt. Some scenes are revised again because I don't think they're that important ><
On another note... my keyboard seemed to have developed some problems x_x
I can't type square brackets and my right arrow is also unresponsive. I wonder if it's because they're dirty? I gotta bring it to be serviced later.
Hmm... I think that's it for now, here's hoping for another productive week! OuO)b
Thanks for reading, take care, and see you again next week!
xoxo,
SweetChiel

Q&A session part 28! If you have any questions for the bachelors, don't hesitate and type away!
- Do you know some jokes? Tell me your best joke! -by: Sesame seed
Guntur: "I'm not good at telling jokes, but Kahlil is!"
Kahlil: "I am! Let's see... What is the most groundbreaking invention of all times?"
Arya: "Fuck me. Here we go again--"
Kahlil: "--A shovel! Hahahahahaha!"
Kahlil: "Knock knock!"
Guntur: "Who's there?"
Kahlil : "A little old lady."
Guntur: "A little old lady who?"
Kahlil: "I didn't know you can yodel, Tur. HA! Get it?"
*Kahlil & Guntur laughs while Arya covers his ears*
Kahlil: "Aw, c'mon Arya. My dad jokes will grow on you!"
Arya: "Nothing grows on me... except hair."
Kahlil: "Pfft--that's a good one!"
*Arya rolls his eyes*
- Are you a cat or a dog person? -by : FinchTheBinch
Guntur: "It's not convenient for me to commit and have a pet, but if I have to choose between a puppy or a kitty... a puppy it is!"
Arya: "Don't know. Never got one and don't have the time for it."
Kahlil: "Isn't it obvious?" *points at his Hell'A Kitty jacket & hairpins* "I love cats! Unfortunately, they don't like me irl."
Kahlil: "I once had a hamster called Fatty though, but... it died because of obese."
Kahlil: " ...I don't think I'm a good owner." Q^Q

Comments
Log in with itch.io to leave a comment.
Guntur continues to be my ideal man LOL but with the amount of endings you mention, I'm so ready to try to collect them! Will there be a way to see which ones you get/are left? The art looks so beautiful this week :)
I have a question for the boys :)) would you mind being asked out/proposed to instead of the other way around?
P.S. hmu Guntur ^u^ <3
Hi, ro-ses!
Thanks for joining the fun, Guntur is flattered and your question is noted! x'D
Hmm... for itch.io's game version, I'm afraid you'll have to remember it by yourself ><;
But! I'm planning to make achievements for the Steam version so you should be able to track them -^.^)/ it'll be quite some time for me to make the Steam version though. I have to finish making rewards for my indiegogo supporters first; such as the bonus wallpaper, artbook, etc...
I hope I answered your question! Stay tuned and don't hesitate to write another comment if you have more questions >u<)/

Hi SweetChiel! ;)
Thank you as always for the update. :)
And you are always very productive, one way or another! ;)
WOW, the section of the background looks "great".
I'll take a look at the full version at Patreon right away. ;)
Today I also have a question for the three gentlemen. XD
-> For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
Good luck with your keyboard! ;)
How's the weather with you? Hope better. For me, the rainy season is totally alien, although I really like rain. :) It's probably not so nice when it doesn't stop at all, is it?
It snowed here today and I could hardly stop taking photos. XD
Well ... I love snow! XD Here is a picture for you. ;)
<3 Yanonako
Hmm .. yesterday I tried to comment on the full version of the picture on Patreon, but my comments were always deleted. I don't understand, but fine, then just over here:
"As already written in itch.io, the background of the ruined village looks extremely well done, even a little creepy! Oo The idea with black and white looks like everything was burned and then this red, ominous sky. Now get I'm afraid of what's waiting for us. I smell drama .... * trembles *
And don't laugh, but at first I thought that the castle was suddenly floating in the background, but that was just the trees. XD Oh .... trees ... with leaves? Was it only the village itself that was destroyed, or was the area around it too? If so, should you possibly adjust the trees around them, right? I just noticed that. I don't want to diminish, that it already looks so good! ;) "
Hi, Yanonako!
As always, thanks for your warm support! Your question is noted OuO)/
And whoa--you're good at taking pictures! The snow looks very beautiful at that angle O///O I didn't know that they clung to the leaves like that. They look so... 'plump'! I'm glad to hear you're having fun over there! I'm so jelly! x'D
I'm entering the rainy season now and oh boy, it's raining hard. I'm fine as long as I don't get much blackout though and fortunately, my area doesn't flood. But it's a different story for Jakarta. When it floods, it can reach as high as our chest!
I'm also happy to hear you like the background~ it might be because the posted picture is small-ish so you missed the trees lol, it shouldn't happen when I implemented it in the game >uO)/
Curiously, I also got the notification that you commented on Patreon but when I get there, it's gone O.O; server error maybe? I'm sorry for the inconvenience ><;
Thanks again for dropping by and you made me smile with that 'floating castle' x'D
xoxo <3
SweetChiel
Thank you. ;) One of my mini hobbies.
You don't want to know how many pictures I have of my cats. XD
Yes, snow is so beautiful and diverse. If you like, I have more photos. ;) Fun fact: Today we have snow again and that on my birthday! That has never been the case either. XD
Flooding doesn't sound good. I am glad that you are spared. I wish that you will be spared power failures in the future.
Not your fault with Patreon. I just wonder what that was. Maybe too much text. Well ... let's see what happens next time.
Haha ... well how about a floating castle? XD Ok, I'll stop. Reading that again made me laugh again. XD
Oh and on the question of "ro-ses" about the endings, I have a suggestion. I don't know what your options are, but the last VN I played solved it with the "trophies" (also for the ends) as follows: The "trophies" were the same, regardless of whether it was Steam or itch.io. Only in the itch.io version was there an internal page in the "Extras" section that registered the successes.
<3 Yanonako
D'aww, snow blessing! Even though I'm a bit late, here:
Happy Birthday, Yanonako! May you be blessed with health, wealth, peace, and I wish you live as long as the Nile river! x'D
Cheers for another fun-filled year! 🎉🎊
Aah, I don't fault you for lots of cats photos--I also got lots of photos of my doggos rofl. Can't resist ><
Hmm, Thropy room in the 'Extra' section, huh? That was a great idea! OuO)b
I'll try to implement it after I've finished writing all the main bachelors' routes & put it up for patreon & indiegogo backers' early-access! It shouldn't be too difficult.
Well, I hope you had fun at your birthday but when you go out to admire the snow, please take care, I heard the vaccine for covid is not the final version? Eat plenty, drink, distance yourself, and wash your hands often! >:D
xoxo,
SweetChiel <3
Thank you very much for the congratulations! ;)
I had a wonderful day with my family. :)
Haha .. Pet owners can never resist taking pictures of their darlings! XD
I'm glad that you like the idea and that you are trying to integrate it. :)
Stay healthy too!
<3 Yanonako
hahaha!
The jokes are really corny and the puns- GASP- puns!!!!
the ruined scene reallly looks nice though, for some reason, i feel really sad seeing ruins :(
hopefully no heartbreaking moments! anyways, i read that there was a secret....villain....route? idk, but does that mean you get to.....date the villain, lmao....?
I have no questions for this week since I'm out T-T id probably end up asking " what's your favorite novel"
Hugs~~
I have a soft spot for corny puns~ *cough *me and my sense of humor
If you feel sad when seeing the ruins, then I've succeeded! All that hard work is worth it QuQ
And yup! After you get all 3 main Happy Endings, you'll be able to enter the secret villain route ^.^)/ It won't be easy, you can even die at the beginning if you're not careful but I hope you'll enjoy it~
And... rofl, it's okay! It's getting harder and harder to make more questions these days--but let me humor you and answer: my favorite novel of all time is the Harry Potter series! I still re-watch the movie today/play it on loop when I'm drawing x'D
*huuggs & offers a plate of cookies
I love puns, but whenever I say any, people around me groan D:
and.....a villain's route?! yes! whenever I'm playing a game with a villain route, I choose it! I get to change their evil ways or find out their reason for the mess they've created! or simply because they're hot 0\\\\0
painting the ruins must have been really exhausting, you need some rest then!
also, for the harry potter movie......its been such a long time since I've watched them....i don't think i watched the last one tho. also, i remember thinking "i don't like the characters as they're growing older..." lol. i never tried reading the novel since I've watched the movie, no matter how much i love reading, i have my moments where i will refuse. please say you've experienced that too
hmm, there are also lots of novels to read on webtoon, there are some that I love or are heartwarming! or when I'm listening to an audiobook or some music, i go to an app called esound, its pretty good, thank god its free or else id start flipping tables. The same goes for Otome games.
Im glad I'm free for the day ^w^ peace~~ wait until my dog starts waking me up by chasing my cat.....nooo *groan* have your dogs ever done that T^T (case one another)
also, I've had renpy for a while now, every time i try making a game or do a test, i get discouraged, too much work, i love to procrastinate.
Hugs~~
High-five! I'm also a villain route fan! imo, all villains need a hug/second chance QuQ
I just hope I can do well, this is my first time writing a villain route so it might be... a little cliche *cough*
And yes! I understand!
It happened to me after I watched Twilight x_x I think after watching the movie, I read only the first book, then the rest doesn't interest me.
I was also like, meh, when I watched Harry Potter's second to last movie. I considered dropping it, but I think the last movie makes up for it x'D It also makes a lot more sense when you marathon the movies.
Aah, I'm afraid I don't have any experience with audiobook O-O;
And rofl, in my case, my doggo usually wakes me up by scratching the door. He wants to go out to pee at inconvenient times, my mom even became his victim sometimes lol
Don't get me started on procrastination OTL
When I'm not in the mood, it's better not to do anything or it'll end up bad/not useable. When I first learned how to do programming with Renpy, I spent more than half an hour just to change the main menu's background. Then I had to struggle understanding how to customize them, how to make a sprite blink, etc... but I guess it's all worth it in the end. I got to meet you and people who support my passion QuQ
*hugggs
*High fives*
I don't mind cliché villain routes, in fact, i like them! please, don't ask why.........i have my reasons......OwO
oh man, when i got a notification of your response, right below it was another notification saying "Night, night, sleep tight, don't let the witches bite!" ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )
also, books are better than audiobooks, you might not like reading or you might (im not sure) but audiobooks are not something you'd look forward too. there are fewer details, and no pictures to see, you cant imagine much! so you're not missing out on anything fun!
Hmm, maybe someday in my vacation i might try renpy for a little bit, i want to help my mom out a little! also, id probably dance around her and cheer her up if i manage to do that. （ (≪●≫) ）Д（ (≪●≫) ）
woah, i didn't realize this pc had kaomijis.....
my mom actually fell victim to my cat several times (shes a Persian cat, so when we want to give her snacks, it disrupts her diet and it hurts her stomach) so shes loud with her litterbox, when she wants to eat or get out of the room, shed start dropping things and flinging them around on the floor. plus she too goofy (i think she's planning on murdering me, she tried to sleep on my face, and try and "eat" my hair. noo, precious hair) would you believe me if i said she caught a bird and put it in my cereal? what is this? a sacrifice???（┛〃° Д°）┛ stahp it lindy, bad kitty
also, you're doing an awesome job for programming! you always give us updates on Mondays! it makes Mondays less gloomy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Hands you a bag of chips as a reward
Hugs~~
Rofl, your cat is so interesting x"D she might be asking for praise when she put that bird in your cereal or maybe she was like, 'bon appetite'! 😂 and she likes to sleep on your face? D'aww isn't she affectionate? As long as she doesn't suffocate you to death with her overbearing love, it's okay 🤣
My doggos on the other hand, they catch cockroaches and sometimes rats but every time they 'hunt' there'd be a huge commotion and things may fall off the counter. I miss when they're just pups tho--I mean, I miss when they'd snuggle/take a nap in my lap :( now, they're avoiding my hugs! I may have hugged them too often to relieve stress so they might feel I'm being too much X"D
*Cough*
Pete's problems aside, I wish you luck with learning Renpy and I'm glad to hear my updates make your Mondays better OuO)b
Lots of xoxo,
SweetChiel
