• Sable's Grimoire released - 19 May 2018

  https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F10774084%2F58e1d3d0fb69f312d0440086c5d8d551e1a464ec.png Sable's Grimoire, my new visual novel, has now been released on Steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/717850/Sables_Grimoire/ Sable's Grimoire is a fantasy visual novel which takes place in a magic academy setting, and centers around the main character's interactions with a variety of demi-humans (monster girls) as he works towards his goal of becoming a renowned researcher.

• Achievements fix - 5 December 2017

  Achievements are now working again. I issued an update a few days ago (~12MB) which meant achievements could be earned, but unfortunately this didn't appear to work for achievements which were already earned before that update. I've just now released another update (~33KB) which should perform a one-time re-grant of any achievements you've already earned. Even if you've already uninstalled Sickness, the re-grant should still be possible, as long as you didn't remove all of the save/persistent data for this game from your computer. The save/persistent directory can be found as follows: Windows: %APPDATA%/RenPy/ OSX: ~/Library/RenPy/ Linux: ~/.renpy/ You probably wouldn't remove these files on your own without knowing it, but if you use cleaning or special uninstaller software on your computer, you might unknowingly remove it. Anyway, it was the previous update which broke achievements in…

• Fix for Sara's route - 25 October 2017

  a patch has just been made live. It's pretty big (because the engine was updated too). The last update to Sickness introduced a bug which made Sara's good ending inaccessible. Worse, it spoiled another route... for a character who may not have even shown up! Unfortunately, bug reports and support requests have always gone to Sickness' publisher rather than me (the developer) personally. For the same reason, I haven't been checking the discussions, as they would always identify any issues and pass them along to me. Which worked great... until it didn't. I was made aware of this bug about 20 minutes before the patch went out, when someone reached out to me directly via Twitter. I was able to find and fix the bug fairly quickly, and it's a very minor change. The bug was caused by a behavior of the Renpy engine I didn't know about with regard to "from _call" statements... not that anyone as…

• Final content update, sale, trading cards & new games - 25 September 2017

  It's horribly late, but here it is: the final new content update for Sickness. This update focuses on one of Suoh's friends from high school, who was briefly introduced during the Misa extra. The new content covers events prior to the beginning of Sickness, and shows off a very different side of Sara in particular. With this, development on Sickness has finally come to a close. Any new updates will only be to address bugs or typos. My efforts will now be devoted to releasing new visual novels instead. Trading cards! Something else that's horribly late. To be honest, I thought these were released over a year ago. This was an oversight on my part, and it will soon be rectified. The trading cards have been submitted for approval by Valve, so I hope to have them out as soon as they are approved. In case you missed it, I released another game earlier this year. While it's not without conflic…

• Another new route + sale - 12 November 2016

  Hey all, just a quick announcement this time. This is the second last planned update to Sickness, and although it’s smaller than the previous update in terms of additional writing, it contains 2 new endings, one new music track, several new Cgs, and even a few old Cgs which have been updated (the demo included). There’s also a new title screen, some unlockable “extras” in the CG gallery, and a couple of minor updates to existing dialogue. The new routes are only unlocked once you’ve played through the main game and gotten a “good end”. There are then some new choices added on subsequent playthroughs. The next update will be bigger, at least in terms of wordcount, and will be the final addition to Sickness. It should be ready Q1 2017.

• New route + sale - 2 May 2016

  This is the first of the three updates mentioned in the last announcement. I thought it would take longer than this, and it was intended to be much shorter... but hey, there you go. First, while I call it a “new route”, what’s actually being added to Sickness is an unlockable extra. After you’ve finished the main route you’ll be able to play through certain key events (and several side events) as Misa, meaning we’ll finally get to hear what’s on her mind while seeing a little more of what’s going on behind the scenes. Many events are purposely omitted, however, so if it’s been a while since you played the main game, there may be a few moments where you feel like you’ve missed something. The extra clocks in at just over 45,000 words, making it more than 1/3rd of the length of the main game, and bringing the total word count of Sickness up to roughly 183,500 words. Who knew Misa had so mu…
