A new blog post is out with detailed progress updates on Sable's Grimoire 2.

https://zetsubou.games/blog-2024-07-19/

Not all of the new faces in Sable's Grimoire 2 will belong to students.

A good magic academy needs good teachers, and these upstanding citizens somehow made the cut.

But how many of them are actually qualified?

Amadronia Academy isn't the only place a mage can go to get an education.

In Sable's Grimoire 2 we'll meet students from Sturt Academy, a human-only academy with a rather different focus.

What role will it play in the upcoming game?

Sable's Grimoire 2 is still a ways off, but that doesn't mean we can't have a peek at some of the new cast members.

I'll post character bios every now and then. First up, let's meet a few of the new first-year students coming to Amadronia Academy.

Is it the year's end already? Here's one final blog post to wrap up 2023:

Experimenting with some new settings for my next game.

New settings include:
-alt resolution/aspect ratio (Steam Deck)
-controller/key icons & bindings
-text & sprite size control
-textbox opacity
-hide side sprite/quick menu

At long last, Sable's Grimoire: A Dragon's Treasure has been released!

Release is still a few months away, but development has been going well. Fingers crossed for smooth sailing ahead.

I didn't get as much done this year as I would have liked, but good things are on the way.

As you can probably tell from all the blue, I'm keen to expand the Sable's Grimoire universe in 2020.

It'll also be nice to finally make a new crime VN (but that's probably 2021).

I present to thee a quick x-mas sketch from Flora, Sable's Grimoire's artist. Happy holidays!

My Heart Grows Fonder is out now! Available on Windows, Linux and Mac on Steam and Itch.io.
