Game Release!!
Hello, everyone!
Beauty in the Beast is finally here! Thank you for waiting!
The game was supposed to be posted here on itch.io a few days ago, but I ran into an issue with one of the payment providers and had to figure out a way to avoid being blocked from their platform. Unfortunately, the solution was to modify all the free game versions to keep them "clean." The Full Blessing versions remain the same, but the free ones will need to be safe from now on.
To make up for this, I’ll upload all the older free versions with one free scene to Patreon, where they’ll be available for free. I’m really sorry for the inconvenience, but this was the only way to move forward.
⚠️ Spoiler Alert: From here on, there will be some spoilers for the story. Nothing major, but proceed at your own discretion!
This past month was full of learning. I read a few books about the Heian era, and some details in the story are inspired by historical facts from those books. For example, the use of paper figures to curse people and the idea that dreams can foretell the future. I even included a bit of poetry — hopefully not too much haha I got a little inspired~
I based Sukuna's backstory on the supposed inspiration Akutami had when creating the character. There were so many paths we could have taken, but I hope you enjoy my interpretation of Sukuna. While there is a happy ending, some parts of the story might feel sad. Maybe I need to start reading more lighthearted books for inspiration? LOL
This month also taught me a lot about game development, though in a very different way than before. Everything was going smoothly, but then I got sick. I physically couldn’t work, and it cost me a lot. It made me realize how much luck has played a role in my ability to release all these games over the past months. Because I didn’t face emergencies or illness, I could work long hours — 10+ hours a day, seven days a week. But this isn’t sustainable, and any emergency could derail everything.
Starting next year, I’ll be making some changes. I might create two scenes instead of three, or maybe just one. I also want to carve out time to explore other fandoms, which has been impossible with my current schedule. Let’s see how December goes since I’ll be creating a smaller game with just one smut scene.
Speaking of December’s Tape, crewmembers on Patreon have voted, and Teacher's Pet will get an epilogue! I hope you’re excited to meet Gojo again, hehe 🤭
Thank you so much for being here and supporting me through this journey, with all its ups and downs!
Much love,
Khywae ♡
