Had enough fun with the last piece yet? Here's another piece that is much slower and has more of a choral focus. "That Which Shall Not Be Named" is a piece centered around Katja and her singing aspirations within St. Dymphna. I felt that a liturgical piece of this nature would fit well in the context of both singing in a choir and finding redemption for one's own actions. I hope you have as much fun playing this as I did writing it. As always, this is a work in progress and is likely to be changed at any moment. In fact, it changed once already during the production of this blog post.

If you have thoughts about this, you should head on down there.

Any other Visual Novel blog would just let you hear what we've been working on, but what if we spiced things up and let you come up with your own interpretation? "The Past Comes to Light/Seelensplittersonate", or as I have been referring to it in shorthand, "The Past Comes to Seelensplittersonate", is a medley of two themes that play at the very beginning of Erik's journey. While they are separate at the beginning, they come together in a way that imparts momentum into both pieces, eventually converging into the same melody at the end. We hope you will enjoy the small taste we have provided here. While this is only a piano arrangement, expect to see more fully fleshed out songs in the final product. This song (and those to follow) are all works in progress, and you can expect them to change before final release. In fact, the last piece we posted has already changed a fair bit from the last time we talked about it, in more ways than one. PDF: https://d...

And we're back. This thing's on, right? Can everyone hear me? Okay, cool. So I hear you folks have been demanding more blog posts. I can't really blame you. We've been silent going on two and a half months, and that's probably not very reassuring from the outside. Let me assuage any concerns you have: we're still alive, we're still kicking, and we're still making progress. Cards on the table, though – we've lost some people along the way. That may sound like pretty bad news, but we're a tighter, stronger team for it. It's sad to see old faces head out the door, but as we move forward, it's reassuring to know we've pared the team down to our most dedicated, most passionate, most hard-working people. And each loss hardens the resolve of the rest of us. On the flipside, we've also welcomed a lot of new talent on board.

The title says it all. Whether your're a son or daughter of an awesome mom, be sure to thank her for being awesome. Speaking of moms, here's one of our character's! Art by Troyd Take a guess as to who she is in the forums!

Some of you more astute followers may have noticed a slight change on our forums. It took many a night chanting over forbidden text, maidens sacrificed, and making shady pacts with dark forces. But, we finally decided on a new design for our group's logo! Many thanks to keviniskool for whipping this baby up and slathering it over our unworthy eyes. Discuss this blog post on the forums.
