Will 'Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces)' be still released or was it dropped? I see a lot of of updates on the main page with the character faces and their interactions but nothing with the actual game update so i was wondering

Asked by Anonymous

Hello, Anonymous!

Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces) is indeed still on the way to being released. It has not been dropped. We’ve been working on it steadily all this time.

For the time being, we’re on a social media hiatus while we focus on completing the game, so I apologize that there hasn’t been any public game updates. However, if you just follow this tumblr, we’ll keep you updated on that!

Honestly, the next time I make a game update post, I’d want it to be something like: “The art/animation is all done for the game. Whoo! Check out this preview!” or “The game’s going to be beta-tested on [insert date]. Let’s celebrate!”

So you’re not likely to hear much of a peep about the game until then. Should I post some screenshots/art previews in between milestones? Yes, I have no doubt I should, and I might occasionally drop by to give an art preview. (I also do plan to come by for the annual Valentine/White Day event, if another year should pass and it’s that time again!) However, I have a lot on my plate, and I think most of my fans would prefer that I use my free time to finish the game sooner rather than post an update.

With that said, here’s the most recent art preview that I released a while back:

image

Aside from that, I post monthly updates for my awesome Patreon family. Here’s a WIP preview of a piece of artwork that I’m planning to show them in full soon and get their opinion on:

image

Whenever the game’s more complete, I’ll start posting more updates then, but for now, I hope you can be patient! A lot of love, hard work and passion’s going into the game, so I hope you look forward to it. We certainly are!

I stop by the Discord on occasion, so if you have more questions, I’ll be able to answer them in real-time during my visits. Don’t know when the next one will be but I tend to post when I’ll be there while answering a very random ask from my inbox.

On that note, I know I’m behind on answering my asks, but for those of you asking about Unknown from Don’t Take This Risk…expect to find out his real name, face, backstory and more in Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces)!

“Hey, I’m the star in this post, and you still gotta mention that creep?”

image

“Now, now, don’t be jealous. You’re not the only star here.”

image

“Fine, we’re the stars. What in the world do people see in that weirdo?”

Bonus: Serphantel’s Friendship Valentines for the Ladies + Their Reply

Serphantel sent this friendship Valentine to the ladies of Beauty and the War (X Playing Pieces):

image

The ladies’ reply:

image
image

“I almost feel like my heart sprite would belong better in another game…I also wonder if we’re playing this right. I almost feel like Lady Rosemary is chasing me down to eat me…”

image

“But you want to be picked up, right?”

image

“You’re not picking me up. You’re trying to sink your teeth into me!”

image

“That’s what you do after you pick things up! You eat it!”

image

“You’re not supposed to eat everything you pick up.”

image

“Trying to figure out what to do is a game in itself. I hope you’re still looking forward to my message later, Serphantel.”

image

“Sir Cyanite, you most certainly do not belong here. This is a ladies’ outing.

Lady Serphantel, thank you so much for your lovely surprise. We truly enjoyed it, so we wanted to come up with something to surprise you. Please feel free to come join us! What we’re doing…I’m not entirely sure. I’m sure you can figure out how to win.

Just pick me up! I’ll heal you!

And that should be it for White Day! I hope everyone didn’t mind that I decided to stretch it out among a few days. As usual, if I missed your Valentine submission and you didn’t get a White Day response back, please let me know and I’ll fix that ASAP.

I hope you all enjoyed this White Day week. This was definitely a lot of fun for me to do. If I didn’t make this clear before, everyone’s Valentines had me full of smiles. All of you seriously amaze me with your creativity, passion and support. Keep being awesome.

Until next time! Have a great rest of the week, everyone!

Bonus: Kara’s Valentine to X + the Deer + Their Replies

Her OC, Rayne, sent this Valentine to X:

Here are the deer’s and X’s responses, respectively:

Here’s what X had to say:

“…I don’t know what you’re trying to say here, Crown Ruler. Are you giving her a mirror to spy on me or something?” [sarcastically:] “Sure, that’s not creepy. Or was she supposed to ask the mirror something and it just, like, always shows me?

Anyway, I don’t know what to think about this Valentine. I feel like a hiring manager. I’ll tell you one thing - it’s definitely unique.

And Charlotte, Caramel doesn’t say much, if anything, but he seems happy to share snacks with ya. And to get to know you. So what do you think about that?

Happy White Day.”

image

“Sir X, you could sound a little more excited than that.”

image

“Somebody got a magic mirror that has my face in it. You think I’m excited about that?”

image

“Look on the bright side.”

image

“What bright side?”

image

“Sir Caramel received a very nice Valentine!”

image

“What about me?!”

Arsenik’s reply:

image

“That is one pretty singer. What a voice, too…how would she like to join my harem?”

image

“…Really?”

image

“She can’t join your harem! She’s with the cowboy!”

image

“That cowboy is old enough to be her father. I doubt she’s with him.”

image

“How do you know he just looks old?”

image

“…Huh. To be honest, I really can’t tell.”

image

“All right, if she won’t leave the cowboy, then how about Arsenik’s Valentine? How would she like to join my harem?”

image

Really? No. Just…no.”

This is what Ambrosia wrote in plain text:

“My dear friend,

Oh, Happy Valentine’s Day! You don’t know how happy I was to receive your painting. You’re so talented! I’m honored that you chose to paint me and so touched that I want to give you the biggest hug. I made you a cake. Would you like some with a cup of tea? Let’s eat by the flower field.

- Ambrosia”

“Even if we’re worlds apart, we shouldn’t let that stop us from being friends. Again, I really do love what you made for me, Lady Ena.”

jiini-chan’s Valentine + Unknown’s Reply

@jiinii-chan sent this Valentine:

Unknown’s whale of a response:

image
image

“I’m not sorry.”

image

“…Maybe you should be. I feel like you’re giving joke replies to everything you’re receiving this year.”

image

This year? Did you forget the watermelon one I gave last time? But they’re not just joke replies. They come with my love.”

image

“Never mind. This is just your style. Complete with the creepy moon resembling your grin and an owl with oversized eyes.

For what it’s worth, Miss Jeannie, your choice of the book with its dance of shadow and light is very fitting. He ’s very lucky to have received such a thoughtful Valentine from you. Happy White Day.”

Serphantel’s Valentine for Night + His White Day Reply

Here is Night’s reply:

image
image

“It’s…it’s another sky card. What is with all the White Day replies being in the sky?”

image

“Are you going to say he looks dead, too?”

image

“No, this actually looks like a Valentine response. It has a heart and little balloons. Something you ought to learn from instead of just planting your face in the clouds.”

image

“There’s nothing wrong with being cloudy, okay?”

image

“By the way, Serphantel, I’ll send you a private message later.”

image

“Oooh, what are you slipping into her DMs for?”

image

[smiles] “That’s between her and me.”

“Or am I kidding? Kyahaha!”

image

“Just what kind of White Day response is this?”

“A whale of a response.”

image

“Will you knock it off with the whale jokes? And what’s with the pretzel?”

image

“What do you have against whales? Or pretzels?”

image

“It’s just seriously weird.”

image

“If you ask me…this is a whale of a card.”

violet-moon-universe:

Good evening, Happy Valentine’s Day! So, I know I hardly ever post here, but I have been told by a good friend of mine on Discord about a week or so ago that @poisonappletales was hosting a 2022 Valentine Event (thank you, @fanfictionqueen90 , for letting me know about this!). Attached to this post is a Valentine’s card that I made for one of the characters by the name of Chase. I have tried my best with this as well as having fun with designing it. On top of that, I tried to be as creative as possible with my design.

image
image
image

“Trold, you look like you’re dead.”

image

“What are you talking about?”

image

“You’re in a cloud in the sky…like you’re in somebody’s memory.”

image

“I do not look dead! I look…I just look cloudy.”

image

What?

image

“That’s right. I look cloudy! And you can’t change my mind about it. Happy White Day, Sherryl!”

image

“YOU STILL LOOK DEAD TO ME.”

image

“Well, YOU’RE DEAD TO ME.”
