Hello everyone!

We were waiting to tidy a few things before making this post. (Sorry for the alert! Next update post will have notifications turned off, unless it's one about us getting fully funded.)

Patch:

Our new patch is live on itch!  Once we get the Steam graphics done, we can upload it on there too ^_^

Stretch goal routes?

So, as a reward for being a backer, all backers will receive the DLCs for free, even if they don't get funded during the campaign, and are funded later through other means (although that might mean slower release of the routes. I do dearly love the boys, and would love to publish their stories by any means possible, and am hoping with all I have we can reach our goals during the campaign.) Post campaign Backerkit purchases will also go towards our stretch goals.

Dev Stream

We did a livestream of the game with some of the VAs! The VOD is currently available over at twitch.tv/deepsealily, but once we get a little more time, we'll also upload it to youtube.

Merch Updates and...Voice packs?

Orias daki is currently in the works by Ahniki as mentioned in the last update, but in the meantime, here's some lovely sketches of Malthus and Lucien. We should have cleaner lineart views sometime this week for the two. When received, we'll post them with a sneak peek of the Caym chapter 1 snippet. 

Close up view of Malthus.

Would anyone be potentially interested in voice packs? Like greetings, etc. That sort of thing. Not guaranteed for any particular character but...

Dakis? More charms? And an amazing start! Thank you so much for the support (and clarifying a couple things here, with addition of merch and new tiers)

Thank you for the amazing and incredible start that we've had! Hoping we can keep our momentum and reach our goal to bring this game to life! We have been incredibly blown away by the support, and our wonderfully budding new community, and couldn't have done it without any of you! There's so many features we have in store, and we hope that you'll love them all. We're currently working on a patch to the demo Soon, to make things run smoother, as we quash more bugs.

We may also do a second chance for the Caym Alpha chapter. ;) 

Note about tiers:

The site has been rather stubborn in reflecting our changes, so going to make a couple FAQ things clear about the tiers. Super sorry about the confusion, what shows on our end for some reason, hasn't changed on the site itself, but they are minor changes, explained in the next paragraph.(Text tiers refer to what kickstarter shows you while making tier selections, during checkout. Ex: Reaper Fanclub, listing all the items therein, etc.)

• The text versions of the pledges have been correct except that for some reason, the last two bundles did not include the tote bag in the tier list. The bundles from the 100 USD tier upwards all include the tote bag.
• However, the only tier that includes all of the five love interest charms is the Reaper Fanclub (the lower ones only allowed a selection). Sorry for the previous mistake on the tier graphic. It's easiest to follow the text tiers. 
• In short, as you go up each tier, the tier will include all of the physical/digital merch from the previous tier. 

New Merch and Tier Additions:

Tiers for helping us design the boy's homes have been added! As well as one new merch tier.

We are looking into daki covers, and more charms! So far, we have plans for an Orias daki by the wonderful Ahniki. Here is an example of her previous daki work, to show what it would look like. This will not include the pillow insert.

You can get an Orias daki cover as either an add-on, or in the new Reaper CEO tier. 

We'd like to know if other characters in the future would be an option? Aina has also been well requested, but, we'd love to hear from you!

Charms: Lucien and Malthus are going to be added to our charm lineup, by the same artist in the same style. However they do not come in Reaper Fanclub, but will come in Reaper CEO tier with the Orias daki cover. They'll also be added to the add on menu, as well as the daki cover.
