It's been a while but Canvas Menagerie finally has an updated demo, just in time for the Steam Next Fest event. If you haven't already, please wishlist the game on Steam as it helps out with development! Here's a brief overview of the demo changes: Easier to read subtitles - in the filming segments, the subtitles are now slightly easier to read with name colors added. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44079813/3109aa1ff6720e88476ec7309a57cd2f12b5ab99.png Improved scene direction - some scenes have been revamped to have more attention to the visual direction.

It’s the start of August so it’s time to look back at progress made in July, of which there were a lot. First off and more importantly, the first draft for the entirety of Canvas Menagerie is complete! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44079813/431c2d4c23bd6a58578a830d8914381b6b053561.jpg Act 1 & 2 are already past the first draft with Act 1 currently receiving final touches from beta testing, and now Act 3 is joining them as being fully drafted. The final wordcount on the documents is 153k words, though once it’s ported to Ren’Py this number will go down slightly, so more realistically the full game will be

May was a very hectic month for me personally, so there wasn’t much progress made this month – but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any! I wrote about 4k words for Canvas Menagerie. I also did a fair amount of editing for Act 2 of Canvas Menagerie, proofreading what’s there and trying to make sure it all fits together. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44079813/6de0d4c74e04976752cea275b90ffe03bfbd8909.jpg There’s one somewhat frustrating character in particular that is fully introduced in Act 2 who’s named Rose – I won’t go into who he is for spoiler reasons, but I will talk a bit about him as a person.

Hiya, today is the first day of the Women's Day Sale on Steam! It's a 10-day long festival celebrating games made by women and women-led teams. Canvas Menagerie is taking part in it as well! To go with the festivities, we'll be running a playthrough of the demo through Steam broadcast and we have some new game updates. To start off, Valentine's Day was earlier this month! I drew couples chibis of Niko & Ren to celebrate. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44079813/45ea5d1ec15ddc85ea5147fb76faa006eb1dd8b4.png Maybe they’ll be available as stickers soon? Who knows~ Now onto writing!

Canvas Menagerie is a large boys love story told over 3 Acts, which represent different stages in the relationship between the main character Niko and his love interest Ren. Act 1 is them meeting and falling for each other, Act 2 is them starting to date, and Act 3 is them getting closer. Currently, the first 2 Acts have first drafts. I started the new year with 5k written and I wrote 5k this month. That means there’s a total of 10k written out of an estimated 45k for the last section, as every Act was estimated to be around 45-50k words long. It’s my goal to not only finish writing the entire

The total script has now passed 95k words! Several scenes were added to the middle section of Act 2, namely involving Ren and a certain character introduced in Act 2. Canvas Menagerie is structured to be somewhat episodic, where each Act is a different focus on the character's lives. Act 1 is a romance VN following Niko and Ren meeting and ending with them confessing. Acts 2 and 3 focus on their lives on set afterwards, dealing with interpersonal events and other spoilery stuff I won't get into here. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44079813/22b551d3a85a82404b39846bd9fa0cd17acaeb80.png One scene written thi
