Hello! How have you been? I hope things have been going well for you. Thank you for stopping by. n_n

  I have a lot that I’d like to share about this twisted world of flowers, and how the story’s been slowly blooming. So if you’re interested in reading about Bell Maiden’s Bloom development, feel free to stick around.~

  That said, before I start, I wanted to thank all of you lovely flowers who have taken the time to leave me feedback and have had discussions. It means far more to me than you may realize.

And for you dears who have left feedback after rating, please know that I have read every word, and truly appreciate it all. I see you and hear you, and I wish I was able to respond to you directly, but I’m not able to reply to rating comments unfortunately.

Just know that I see your words and they are very motivating. Thank you so much!~

  Now then, let’s talk about BMB!

  I’m going to be as real with ya’ll as possible with this: I am NOT one of those folks who spends a lot of time on the internet. I don’t use social media like that, and I’m not into the whole relevancy rat race game of the modern internet. I come and go as I please saying as much or as little as I feel comfortable with.

  Bell Maiden’s Bloom is not “content” or just another stat on some platform. It’s a story, a world, that I’m pouring so much of my heart and soul into, and it will take much time for it to fully bloom into the beautiful adventure that I see in my mind. I am working on it slowly and carefully bits at a time, and I won’t constantly be running to this website sharing every last detail. This means that the page and my game will be marked as “stale”, (itch’s own words), and fade into the abyss of this space. But just know that the flower that is BMB is still growing, whether I choose to broadcast its status or not. And I’m guessing that the folks who are truly interested in this project won’t forget about it, and will float around this space from time to time.~

  Now, for the fun stuff!

  I will be updating the prologue soon and guess what!! I’m adding some VOICE ACTING!~

  Yup, yup! The four flower boys will be voiced during their CG scenes in the prologue, but I don’t plan to have voice work done outside of the prologue. But I wanted to let them speak at least to some capacity as it helps to bring them to life further.

  So, for now, I have Zinnia’s voice work done, and Clem’s starts next week! But I’m not rushing this process. I need to take the proper time to find the folks who fit the voice I hear in my mind.

  Also, I had theme songs made for each of the flower boys, and you’ll hear them play when you meet them for the first time. Before, I had a theme for Hyacinth and Dianthus, but now, Zinnia, Clem, and Glady have one too! And oh my GOODNESS! Their songs fit their personalities so well! >.< I LOVE IT!!!

  As for coding the rest of the story, I won’t be doing that until fall. This gives me time to get the rest of the artwork commissioned so that it will be all set to go, but also, just being real, I can’t concentrate on serious coding during the sunny season. I want to be OUTSIDE riding my bike and gardening, not sitting up at a computer typing all day. I work best on these kinds of projects during the cold, gray season when I wanna be as FAR from outdoors as possible.

  So yeah, I said before that I would release chapters slowly over time, but I’ve changed my mind on that. It’s a lot easier for me to write everyone’s stories simultaneously just like I did for the prologue and release it when it’s finished. So that’s what I’m gonna do!

  In the meantime, I’ve been working on some cute little BMB extras: printable sticker sheets, bookmarks, and postcards. 

I’m also making some desktop wallpapers too! When I’ve completed them, I’ll upload them here if you’ve like to download them for yourself.~

Okay, that’s about all for now! Thank you for your support, and I hope you have a great summer!

Take care!~
