Computer's Haunted - 3/18/20

Cocks gun

"Computer's haunted."

So the other day I was doing some stuff when I realized, "Wait! I think I forgot to request this specific sprite that I can't say on here because it'd detract from the surprise!" This is a very big deal (to me) as, in order to get this thing out, I want as few missing assets as possible. I understand that I totally could go about this and release it with a few sprites and cgs missing, but I'd rather have at leas...

Almost there! - 3/7/20

As of last night (on March 6th, 2020), my artist has completed a sketch version of every piece that will be needed up to day 3! Now it's up to me to put it together, proofread everything, set up the image gallery, make sure it all works properly, make sure the sizes all line up, edit things so that it actually makes sense... stuff like that. I'm gonna be pretty busy today!

Anyhoo, with all of that said, I'm going to reiterate that I will put out all the versions (as ...

Have I talked about music yet? - 2/14/20

Ahhh music. Where would I be without it? Considering this game's subject matter, I imagine a number of people might play it behind closed doors and with the sound off, so it might be ignored far easier than the art. That said, I think music is an important part of any visual novel! It's what elevates something from good to great.

I, myself, am the one doing the music for this game. I don't know how much of the music I should be showing off (especially as many of the ...

Alan Can Hear Now - 2/11/20

When this game is finally being put out, I'm really counting on y'all to help me notice everything that slips under my radar. Which, um... here's a fun little story about that.

This is Alan. If you look on my twitter, you'll probably see an Alan that looks subtly, almost imperceptibly different. Here, I'll put the second picture here so you can try and spot the difference yo...

"With Infinity's Presence" - 2/1/20

The general plot for Sihai's Legacy has been (mostly) put together for a good while now. From the events of this game to what happens after, I've got it all written down and inside my head. Well, give or take some details, anyway...

I can't pretend to have everything planned out from the get-go, naturally. Even with the most specific planning, I can't plan out every single little detail ahead of time or else it's too rigid. Heck, at that point I might as well just ha...

Update on the state of the game

(Non Patron-exclusive post)

With every passing day, I get another step closer to releasing the first beta of the game. Here's the general run-down for how this will be handled, just to make it as clear as possible.

There will be 4 versions of the game releasing on the same day (Hopefully sometime in march). These versions include two different safe-for-work copies of the game and two different not-safe-for-work copies of the game. Within these two groups, there...

Coming up with the ideas for this game

As I said back in my first dev post, the sim was first thought up with the comment:

(This being myself)

Which I then followed with:

This, uh... well, it was a nice starting point? It's not really a bad idea. Cliché, maybe, but not bad. This company where all these chara...

More Dev progress

I don't believe I even asked @daxhush, an extremely good friend of mine, to be my go-to-artist for the game until about July 11th. And, once I got some sprites from him, I was kinda floored.

To compare, this is the "WIP" Jehu sprite to compare to the Yeehu I had been using up until then. This was kind...

The start of Sihai's Legacy

Sihai's Legacy was initially stated when me and a group of friends talked about making a dating sim using our characters. I am incredibly stubborn, so I decided that I actually wanted to do this thing- and here we are! Although, at the time, I was planning on making somewhere around... 7 routes or something? And only a couple of those characters were actually mine, so the initial idea was pretty... far out, man. In retrospect, I thought that was quite a bit, but I'm only d...

Very first patreon post!

Sihai's Legacy is an ambitious goal of mine and, if I'm being completely honest, I'll need some help if I want to show this to the world! So, if you're here to come and support me, enjoy a deep thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

Versions of the game will be pushed through here once ready and, once the whole game is complete, it will be on itch.io. The safe-for-work version will be free to download, but not-safe-for-work will be paid. Patrons will get access ...
