Happy New Year! We hope this year is better than the last. Lots of stuff happening in particular~

Also, we're nearly at the last batch of character designs for Chapter 1. Was debating on having the background/NPC characters have sprites, but I noticed other VNs did it just fine, and it wouldn't make sense for characters that have like five minutes of game time before never existing again lol

Just realized that the image alignment for the game page is borked on mobile. Because while everyone else's picture rearranges itself just fine, mine is offset. It's driving me nuts! At this point, I'll be at this for another two hours 🫠

The sweetest kiss is the one you give your great love❤️ #furry

Comms for @smexyrexy.bsky.social 🔥 !

I've finally suffered through Itch's messed up format when it comes to image placements, and completed the team showcase on the game page with their social pages set up! Whipped up the UI stuff on this one myself~ Also, welcome our new background artist, @jaspersartvault.bsky.social, to the team!

Embargo broken! SPOILERS FOR ISSUE #5 I did the care home for Raoul's Mum this issue, Here's her room :0 Wanted to do a bit of research since it's a slightly delicate topic, and wanted to take a few inspirations especially from The Hogeweyk Dementia Village with the bus stop behind.

This isn't an update, just a lil something to kinda mention here. Exodus is setting up something much bigger in the future (hopefully). Maybe one day, I'll get everybody on board. But for now, we're paving the road to that being a possibility 😌

Surprise! It's live. Play episode 1 of Sweet Leaves NOW. #FVN #FurryVN sweetleaves.itch.io/sweet-leaves

In Goggs we trust! A bit of a thank you post for this goober being in my life. A gamer fren, a fantastic DJ, and a bit of a cutie. But mostly, just for sticking around when others didn't. So yee, go check him out! @goggs.club

We have a Ko-Fi now! Next update is an announcement for the other artist working on the background work for Exodus, as well as the graphic update for the Itch game page! More info here: itch.io/blog/1122425...

I think I wanna try going full time with making visual novels. Specifically working on Exodus. But with how things have been lately with the whole Itch delisting adult games thing, Steam doing the same thing, and Patreon shutting down adult projects, does anyone know how else this could work? :0

I know I haven't added Leo to the lead artist role on the game page yet. I'm still trying to figure out a good design for how to showcase everyone working on the project :0

OH GUARDIAN 🗣️ #FURRYART #CLASHROYALE

Give me that sweet smile :3 ♥️#furryart

Beware! A new king is coming!👀

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!! (So important, it's too big to fit in a single post!)

Weeeee!

Update time! So after a bit of time searching, we have two potential candidates for a new main artist. Both specializing in two different art styles. One is more realistic line art type style, the other is a more cartoon style 👀

So the big reveal is that we’re moving studios! The folks over at Starlight Tactlies have graciously offered us to join them in a studio merger. This will mean that Cleaved has a wider support network to improve and streamline our production.

Progress update: idek anymore... I did some writing on Exodus, notable rewrites for the end of Chapter 1, and the start of Chapter 2. Apart from that, nothing else has been happening. I'm still waiting on a bunch of updates from certain team members, but it's been radio silent.

In the meantime....

Have had a lot of time to myself lately since the hiatus. A lot of things going on in my life, as well as others in it that just makes it harder to keep going. On top of that, I really don't know when we'll get to this other smaller project. Haven't been told what the plan was yet.

alright, this has grown far past incest shipping, I think it's time we talk about it. docs.google.com/document/d/1... Please take your time to read this thoroughly. Despite its page count, as it says in there, it's only about 20+ pages of words, with everything else being images of proof. (1/4)🧵

@icefang.bsky.social Happy borthday :3

No one will forget the love that went into your work. Stay safe, wherever you are 🩵

Meow meow meow meow meow~

Full Exodus Chapter 1 OST now available to vibe to! music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Hello everyone. As you probably already know, development for Exodus has been rather slow. Our scope of the project is much bigger than we anticipated, especially for being our first project. So we’ve decided to put Exodus on hiatus for the time being.

Might have an announcement regarding Exodus soon. Stay tuned!

Work screwed me out of some hours so imma need to open emergency commissions to pay credit card bills. Open for logos, itch.io pages and text boxes/UI for VNs or anything you might need, just hmu to discuss! 2 or 3 slots open, price varies on complexity ($50-$80 usually). Reposts appreciated!

Hey! I've been asked about this a few times now, so I'd like to clear things up! You CAN use Tatsu in Art, Stories or RP! Even involving your own/other characters, SFW or NSFW! But PLEASE ask first if you want to post these publicly! (Bonus older animation, as a treat!)

On the upside, the Crocobolds this will result in will probably be cute..? Ft. Keranas by @crocsleeve.bsky.social! (Character voted for by Patrοns! Consider suppοrting for more!)

I've been thinking a lot about using patreon or ko-fi as a way to help fund the project, but I can't figure out which is best. Reluctantly, I need help figuring this out, because it feels like I spend more than what we're earning on this project alone.

It seems like things are slowly getting back to normal on Itch. Hoorah gentlemen!

Hahahaha....

I just added links tracking and reporting to fvn.li. Project page visits, clicks to visit the itch.io page, as well as clicks on custom links are now getting tracked and reported. "Unique" clicks counts clicks per user only once per 24 hours, while "Total" counts every single one. #FurryVN

I've added download links of my visual novels' public builds on their fvn.li listings! You can also allow the site to send you notifications whenever VNs update. This will be a great tool to keep the FVN community together during these rough times. fvn.li/games/tempta... fvn.li/games/repeat...

What if we made our own site to use as a domain for VNs instead of relying on Itch to make good decisions? :0

ATTENTION! You can now download our game through fvn.li/games/burrows! Click "Downloads" and choose the link of your choice. Thank you to @akiba.at for adding this feature #furrygame #burrowsvn #trg #visualnovel

Thanks to @akiba.at, there is now an additional option to download VNs via links, should Itch-io go belly up. Exodus has two alternative links to download the latest builds for both Windows and Android! fvn.li/games/exodus...

A direct link to Exodus if you aren't finding it on search engines :3 thebluefoxvn.itch.io/exodus-fvn

The irony of posting my multitude of thoughts on the Itch situation ON Itch is not lost on me. And yet, still, it feels oddly right. Join me now as I rant and rave at length about Itch's tomfoolery at the behest of bigots and payment processors. Honestly, I just wanted to bitch for a while. Ugh.

Welp. I have a feeling this will have them backpedaling lmao

Update: There was an update from Itch in regards to this whole issue. You can read the full details here: itch.io/updates/upda...

Hello everyone, itch.io has recently deindexed all adult material from its search engine. This includes numerous works by the Echo Project, Glory Hounds among them. You can still access our work by going directly to the itch pages of our projects.
