Hey guys!

I hope you all had a good Halloween! In my country, we don’t really celebrate Halloween, although we do sometimes get trick-or-treaters (and sometimes, they even bother to wear costumes!). Yet, I’ve always enjoyed that holiday, as an enthusiast of all things scary. A such, I was working on a special artwork for the occasion, but wasn’t able to post it on time for the actual day. So, I decided I’d make sure to finish it for the build drop, and made it something more than just “Halloween Art”, giving us a chance to peer into his past. I hope you’ll all like it!

As for the update itself, I have to admit, we’re both extra wiped this month. Some of you might not be aware, but both Dzahn and I also work on Homecoming ~Morenatsu Revisited~. and we released a pretty major update for it not too long ago. Let me tell you, working on updating two visual novels at the same time is just as exhausting as it might sound. Still, while a challenge, I think Homecoming’s update didn’t impact the quality of this month’s update for Santa Lucia, and I’m really proud of that.

I was able to prepare two sprites (still a work in progress, however) for two characters present in Bryan’s route: say hello to both Thomas the rabbit, Blake’s right hand, and Kane the wolf, the resident geek of the fraternity (although, you might be surprised by his appearance, hehe).

Anyway, I hope you guys will enjoy what we’ve cooked up this month. In my opinion, it’s a pretty important update story-wise, at it sets the stage for what’s coming next.

Cheers,

Dev
