FE聖戦：ラクチェ

drawing my MC Edelweiss so now I can finally have a mockup of everyone together 🙏

would love to work with you sometime when I have less on my plate 🥰

Teal-haired anime boy with fangs grinning

White-haired anime boy looks disgusted

Me when drawing Lucifrid: I love Lucy so much, he is the best boy, I want to pinch his cheeks
Me when drawing Ilya: I love Ilya so much, he is the best boy, I want him to stare at me in abject disgust

Yeah, there's definitely more games out there like this; I'm more talking about the "traditional" Otomate formula a lot of people are used to. The game is definitely about romance, there are just no happily ever after endings, you always sacrifice something for another thing.

you can do it!!! (also very precious boy)

Oh yeah, I agree that the term "anti-otome" doesn't work on its own. I too would raise my eyebrows if I saw it used by a dev I didn't know personally. I guess I'll lean into the bad end angle more!

Kemonomimi Jam 2026 A game jam from 2026-05-01 to 2026-06-01 hosted by aine & CuteShadow. Kemonomimi Jam 2026 A casual month-long jam dedicated to narrative games featuring kemonomimi.

Kemonomimi jam is coming!

It allows projects you're already working on, even if all you do is retroactively give all your characters **animal ears**!

Narrative games like visual novels and RPGs are allowed.

It's the year of the horse so yeah...

There's a lot more themes, like agency, the value of things even when we lose them, and the difference between being needed and being loved, but I'm having a hard time turning the anti-otome theme into a marketable tagline beyond "otome for people who love bad endings" lol (4/4)

In Our Light Affliction, the positive character arcs are almost diametrically opposed to the romantic resolution, addressing a question conventional otome games rarely dare to ask because of their inherent nature as romantic wish fulfilment: "You can get together, but will it make you happy?" (3/?)

Typical otome games have LIs with problems or personal arcs that get resolved on their routes, effectively linking their development with romance with the MC. Sometimes there's a true route where everyone's problems/arcs get resolved once the heroine gets together with the "true" LI. (2/?)

I've been thinking about how my current project is kind of an anti-otome, but if I were to use that term people wouldn't take it like anti-hero but more like "I hate this genre and want to deconstruct it despite not knowing anything about it" (1/?)

By the way I've been on leave from work for burnout which I'm fairly sure has to do with my recent "wait, I'm not neurotypical?" internalisation but luckily I've been feeling well enough to work on Our Light Affliction again recently

Ilya sprite poses done! Now for expressions, I get to draw annoyed smile and polite but seething inside...
