We are thrilled to present Prince Oliver's chibi version! It seems like he's currently in the lead as the crowd favorite, so here's a sneak peek of what's in store for him. Please stay tuned!

Whose chibi version do you wish to see? If you have the luxury of time, drop by the comments and tell us why ;)

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

Rose: Doesn't that look adorable? Thank you for this portrait, @RedChan17!

Rose: I heard you've painted some cute chibis for the guys too. Why don't we ask the citizens whose chibi they wish to see? Cast your vote in the thread below! #vndev #visualnovel #otome #indiedev #chibi

This time, we'd like to showcase one of the backgrounds you'll see in the demo. Would you fancy some tea with Princess Rose and Butler Albert in the ambiance of this serene garden? We have @Ryuu_Art to thank for that!#otome #visualnovel #indiedev #vndev #gamedev #renpy #otomedev

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

@otomedev @xCamyz @tidylia Thank you so much! <3

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

HERE'S THE FINAL LOOK OF OUR MAIN MENU! What do you think?

Princess Rose agrees that it's the perfect first #screenshotsaturday for the game! Shoutout to @xCamyz & @tidylia for the awesome art!

Stay tuned for more updates! #otome #visualnovel #indiedev #vndev #gamedev #renpy

@azureXtwilight @xCamyz @tidylia We love it too! Special thanks to @tidylia for drawing our thicc golden girl 😉💖

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

@TamaKao90 @VN_Devtalk @xCamyz @tidylia No need to apologize 💕
Master Richard and Prince Oliver would love to take you to dance, please stick around 'till then 😉

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

@TamaKao90 @VN_Devtalk @xCamyz @tidylia Thank you so much! Do you mean a masquerade party... perhaps? 🎭

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

@ScreenworldStu @xCamyz @tidylia Glad you like it! This particular screen gives the player an important first impression, and we want to give just that :D

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

Here's a little peek of the GUI design created by our talented @xCamyz. We're lovin' these elegant textboxes just as much as @Ryuu_Art's beautiful background.

Are you excited for the game itself? We're dropping news very soon!

WE'RE BACK! Spread the word <3

While the team is actively discussing the release date of the demo (yes, we're getting there), we thought you'd like to catch a glimpse of @xCamyz's UI design for our main menu. Stay tuned! #otome #gamedev #visualnovel #indiedev #vndev #renpy #gui

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

We're starting on another background that will be used in the game. Would you fancy a cup of tea in the gardens of Ashwell Castle? | Credits: @Ryuu_Art | #otome #visualnovel #vndev #gamedev #indiegame #background #wip #BG

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

@AudioJaress Thank you for your interest, we definitely will!

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

@qbstudios_VN @hyesunxoxo @tidylia Thank you!
Ahaha, we should probably ask the Princess herself!

[Phantom of the Blooming Rose @roseandphantom]

MAJOR PROGRESS on the main menu art! What do you think of @tidylia's work? Princess Rose thinks it looks amazing! #otome #visualnovel #vndev #gamedev #indiegame #phantomofthebloomingrose
