Santa Lucia Build 51 (Patreon) - August 2024 (Patreon)

Hey guys, Devilizer here!

Phew, this update was a doozy. I’m typing this blurb the night of the 2nd at 5 am, finally having finished everything I had do (or so I hope). The day we were writing kept getting bigger and bigger, and with it, the amount of work we ended up needing for it. It’s funny how we have this story all planned out, and yet it still manages to surprise us sometimes. It’s like it’s got its own wants and needs and we’re just being strung along for the ride! For real, though, this is personally one of my favorite build I’ve ever worked on. I hope you guys will like it as much as I do.

We decided the best for us was to split this particular day in two, so we could deliver something this month. Rest assured, the update is still substantial. I hope you’ve got your tissues ready!

On the art side, I was looking down the barrel of working on five CGs for this update, which is partly the reason why we split the day in two. So for this update, I ended up working on two CGs (which I’m really proud of), and a brand new sprite for a character I won’t spoil. I’m also STILL working on poor Shay. For some god forsaken reason, her linework layer disappeared a few days ago (Photoshop most likely throwing out ancient curses at my work for shits and giggles) and I didn’t have the courage to redo the entire lining with all the other work I had to do. Shay will be updated… but she’s making it difficult!

As for future updates, you guys can look forward to a big set of CGs concluding the second part of this day in the near future, including Carlos’ last spicy CG. It’s been a long time coming, and so shall he. Heh.

Thank you all kindly for your continued support,

Cheers,

Dev

============================================================

Hey everyone.

At long last, the next part of Carlos’s route is ready. It’s not quite the entire climax sequence, but like in Bryan’s route the climax is about three times as long as any individual previous day. I expect to have the rest complete by next update.

This was a very emotional chapter for me to write. I feel like I may have been a bit scatterbrained at points. I hope it still reads well enough.

Dev was hard at work for this update, too. We have two new CGs to accentuate parts of the writing, as well as a new sprite set for a special guest.

See you all in the next update.
