2025-03-17 15:08:03 +0000 UTChii lonnie!! thank you for your patience with me, i've had a pretty crazy week (with launching glut, travelling, etc) so i rly appreciate it! c: you're too kind with your compliments, im genuinely so happy you enjoy my games so much! 1. ronin - he'd join in. he'd have a fucking great time making songs about himself lmao. but in my mind is alt. job if he wasn't a mechanic is being the lead vocalist of a death metal band… so it checks out. angel - extremely flattered. she's gotten serenaded before, of course, but that you see her as both angel and maria means much more than people who only sing to her, thinking of her just as the surface she shows to the world. misaki - "there's no way you're singing 'bout me! like, is there nothing better for your inspiration? not that i'm saying i'm bad inspiration, just, can ya handle all this?" (cheekily, sheepishly). v - confused, at first. "why are you writing songs about me? i am attempting to hunt you down." but (against his will) he enjoys it much more than he's willing to admit. 2. ronin - a massive surprise. usually with gore. angel - she'd plan out the MC's birthday but keep it a secret, and surprise them on the day! misaki - surprise! they'd love to just show up at MC's place without warning, a party horn on their mouth and a party hat on her head. winking cheeky. the best gift is MC's reaction. v - he'd plan MC's birthday meticulously. ask MC about what they would like and want. do a lot (and a lot more) because he wants to make sure MC deserves all he can give them. 3. ronin - he'd love it. live for it. this is what he's always wanted; he's corrupted you so utterly: it's only natural that it would come to this. angel - depends on the reason. she wouldn't appreciate it if, say, the MC was killing because they're obsessed with her and want her all for themself - just because that just reminds her too much of stalkers she's had before. misaki - "dude… dude… maybe slow down, think 'bout it for a sec? you're not even getting money from it!" but they wouldn't totally hate it either. v - he wouldn't know what to think. a part of him is indignant; he's shocked that you would murder for him. part of him (an ugly part of him) is flattered - especially if you had a morally justifiable reason of doing so. 4. ronin - likes it (because he's also a lil touchstarved too, but don't tell that to him). would tease the MC about it. "aw, so fuckin' attached. like a dog." angel - would be all casual about it, but get giggly + enjoy it. misaki - LIVES for it. would return you the same energy in volumes. kiss fights are totally a thing here. v - he's confused but appreciates that you like to be near him. would end up absentmindedly tending to you like he would his cats (eg. smoothing your hair down, patting you, etc.) ther - they'd look annoyed (on the surface) because they don't really like to be touched bc of their past trauma, but would ease into it more over time. 5. ronin - killing spree is absolutely in the cards. angel - she'd shut down hard. compartmentalise. focus on her career and her persona as maria de la rosa. do anything (and everything) to suppress her grief. misaki - freak out. i think they'd drift around and feel lost in their life - especially because MC was their anchor. v - half of his mind's on grief. the other's on revenge.

2025-03-07 00:39:07 +0000 UTCHiii rose!! This is my first time having a tier of yours and I’m super excited!! First let me say your games are truly amazing. Like the creativity, talent, and writing skills HELLOOOO??? Literally phenomenal and I’m not just saying that!! I have a few questions for ya! 1. Keeping the idea of MC being writer, how would LI feel to MC being a songwriter? Specifically an MC who writes songs about them. 2. What would the LI celebrate MC’s birthday? Are they the type to surprise mc or want to plan it together? 3. How would the LI feel if the MC started killing or killed someone for them? Like if someone harassed, was being to mean to one of the LI, or maybe even out of jealousy. 4. How would the LI + Ther feel about a very physically clingy MC? Like always wanting to hold their hand, hugging them, really anything that involves touching them ?(I’m totally projecting 💀) 5. How would the LI do if MC died? Would they completely shut down, go on a crazy killing spree, etc. (Feel free to ignore this question If this question is too much, I understand!)

2025-02-28 19:58:11 +0000 UTChi there! i'm so sorry that this took a while for me to answer (thank you for your patience there!), and i'm really sorry to hear that you're going through it lately </3 i really hope that whatever it is, it gets better soon - i'm sending you my best wishes and keeping you in my thoughts c: ronin - "shit, the fuck's happened to ya, darling?" he'll be a bit sardonic, a bit provocative, but it's because that's how ronin is - he knows he needs to be himself, in order to be a grounding presence for you. and he'll listen - he always does. angel - angel understands stress better than any other person - so she would hold their partner, kiss their ear, whisper "i'm sorry", over and over. let them cry it out, until they feel better. make them food, take care of them how best she can. misaki - "oh baby… it's okay. shh, stay with me. i'm sorry it's been so shitty, i would totally shoot your problems to dust, and i'm a hella good shot. just tell me where to aim." which would then lead into a relieving vent session c: v - v doesn't hesitate. like he mentions in the game, he'll take good care of you with his hands. he would give you a massage, try to ease the pain and frustration and tears out of you. he'd let you vent as you need to, and he'll soak up every word. ther - they would stay their snarky self, "someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today", but when they realise it's actually serious, they'd be quite surprised, uncertain of what to do at first: but quickly they'll come to their senses. ther has never been good at comforting people, so it'll be a bit awkward, but they'll try their best for their partner.

2025-02-28 04:12:33 +0000 UTCI was gonna wait to ask a new question, but I was going through it lately, so this is just kinda for me and anyone else that may need it ❤️. (I cannot thank you enough for all the other questions of mine you've answered ❤️) So, what do the LI's+Ther do if their partner is either full of frustration to the point of anger (not at them, just at the world) or they just break down sobbing. It could be for anything. Either someone upset them or they had a bad day or its a bunch of little things that piled up and they're not their usual self. Thank you ❤️

2025-02-27 18:26:28 +0000 UTChi! this was asked before so i've expanded on my answers a little more below :) i hope you'll enjoy! ronin. "you're giving luca a damn run for his money!" he's going to tease the MC at first, "jesus, joinin' a den of serial killers ain't terrifying for ya, but actually killing someone is?", but then go quieter when he realises they're actually scared and frantic about it. he'll listen to MC and head over to take care of them (and clean up). "count your fucking stars," he'd say, sardonically with a smile. misaki. "dude, what the fuck? you're kidding me right? no, no you're not… okay. give me a moment. i'm coming over. gonna help you bury the bodies." they'll stay on call with you as they try to hitch a flight to you ASAP, give you tips on how to clean up the crime scene, getting the body done, etc. will do this in their best soothing tone while throwing in jokes here and there to lighten the mood. angel. "it's okay, you're okay. i'm glad you're alive. i'm… so sorry." as angel understands that the MC will have to reckon with the guilt. like misaki, her first priority is getting the MC out of the scene (preferably without being incriminated). she'll drop everything at hand, call a family emergency to attend to the situation, and make it seem like the heartsick angel was responsible for the murder - rather than the MC. v. he'd comfort you, tell you it isn't your fault (even though the MC is responsible). pour as much money as he can to the victim's family, but he knows that won't fix it. feel conflicted because you're responsible for an innocent's accidental death, but his love for you wins out. he'll help take care of the body, bury them well, and take care of you for the rest of the night. (now, if this was a self-defence situation… v's response will be much more different.)

2025-02-27 16:14:11 +0000 UTCno worries (on the deleting and rewriting)! sorry it took a while to answer, haha, i've been a little busy! 1. angel is referring to ronin's physical cleanliness, because both her (and ther estridge) are perfectionists. so when ronin gets dirty (with blood, rot, gore, or anything in between), as much as he revels in it, he does a deep shower before being with either of them :P 2. i'll talk specifically about luca and feli (since i've talked a lot about the li's in this answer already). feli would remind the artist to care for themselves: that's no way to live, and she understands too because she's experienced the problems with over-exertion herself. i think luca would try his best to take care of the artist, give them massages and bandages their hands, "i mean i cause accidents bro but it's like you're doing them deliberately", he's confused but he's got the spirit of caring. 3. i think misaki is the one who cries the most - out of relief (after an assassination), loneliness, exhaustion, pain (emotional and physical), or anything else. they're a deeply feeling person, and she expresses her emotions openly. i don't think v, ronin, or angel are as open as their emotions. 4. i don't know if there are necessarily any specific physical characteristics that the love interests are attracted to, so here's a handful of things they'd like (physical and non-physical): ronin - reservedness; raw emotions that are embodied in a person's physicality; definitely has a soft spot for redheads :P angel - open softness and kindness; genuineness. misaki - people taller than them (this is not very hard) v - likes people with a strong moral code, like him; spontaneity and banter; people that make him flush (even though he'd never admit it); authenticity. 5. oh this is quite interesting! i don't think it's impossible: i think, when they're both mentally in better spaces ie. ronin stops projecting ther onto angel; angel processes some more of her feelings around men. after they broke up, i do think ronin and angel dealt with some of their feelings about their respective traumas but not entirely. so i think this would start small; a tease here, a joke there. and go a bit deeper, back to where they were before. i think it'll require the slaughterhouse's support - even if feelings are reignited, they're both unsure, and don't want to hurt the other again. i do see v and misaki more as friends, but following the throughline of v caring for misaki's emotions + current assassination situation, i can see it developing into romantic feelings. they would make a cute couple i'm ngl. :D honestly, anything can happen if mc doesn't ever join the server :P

2025-02-27 16:00:13 +0000 UTChi hi! i'm so glad that you got to enjoy and love the kc gang once again <3 i had so much fun making them silly and i'm so happy that the joy is shared all around :D 1. ronin - he'd like to carry his s/o like he's dragging a dead body (i'm kidding… haha… unless…) angel - bridal-style! she'd giggle and love it. misaki - piggyback (either on s/o's back or carrying s/o, bonus points if s/o is taller than them); because it looks silly and they'd enjoy fooling around a lot with it :D v - his s/o fully over his shoulder, facing away from him, for practicality… though it is slightly snarky (especially if he's dragging his s/o away from doing something stupid.) 2. ronin - "aw, isn't that adorable. murder's gotcha stone cold and you're flushing like a burn." angel - "i love it when you blush." (angel would dream about doing a murder with mc, her kissing mc's cheek and mc just flushing red, despite being unfazed about murder.) misaki - "you didn't blink twice when i was talking about a businessman getting chainsawed in half, so like, why are you so fucking cute? that should so be illegal." v - "you have your priorities out-of-place," he says, while blushing slightly.

2025-02-27 15:13:22 +0000 UTCi think the best piece of advice i've gotten may be a little general, but i think it applies universally: to be motivated to do something, you just have to start doing it, which then translates to motivation. discipline is what finishes a story and motivation is the fuel along the way. :) i think a lot of people tend to forget that when working on things, wanting to wait for inspiration to strike - but it's best to sit down and just start, because only then will you be able to /have/ the inspiration to keep it going. i hope this helps! :D

2025-02-27 04:18:43 +0000 UTChello, hello!! I finally got around to playing the demo of the defintive version of kc, and I have to admit, I didn't realize just how much I missed those silly little killers lol. It's truly so interesting how you were able to make all of the characters so likable (including the side characters!). Anyway! I had 2 little questions, if that's okay! 1. How do the LIs like to carry their so or how do they like to be carried (if they do at all) assuming the MC can carry them? 2. This one is more silly than anything but what if the MC had almost no problem with murder or anything of that sort, like it doesn't really faze them but on the other hand, romance makes them really flustered or shy, how would the LIs react to that? aaa ok!! That was all I wanted to ask!! I really hope it makes sense :') THANK YOU!!! <3

2025-02-23 21:46:17 +0000 UTCLate to the party, but I'd like to know as one creative to another, what's the best piece of advice you've gotten that you wished more people knew? 💖

2025-02-23 18:04:28 +0000 UTCno worries, you're not late at all! <3 1. it would change the dynamic significantly! ronin would still toy with mc, but "not believing mc is a killer" becomes more of a goad, to get the mc to be even more grotesque in their murders; conversely, v would be even more vehement in hunting mc down, and i won't be surprised if such a route ended with the mc's death by his hands. (there might be an opposite version of ronin's "good" end, here: v kissing the mc's decapitated head.) angel and the mc would make for a serial killing power couple. misaki (in their retired state) would just text mc constantly asking for reassurance that they Have Not Died from serial killer activities - scared, because the mc will essentially be putting misaki through what the mc writer goes through in misaki's route - but they'll do their best to be supportive, even if the mc is totally merciless haha. 2. kc is set in a fictional city (elysium city)! within the city, there are multiple districts; angel lives in saffron square, ronin lives in uptown, and v lives in mayfair hill. it's essentially located in pseudo-america, but kc's state of living (and serial killer population) is quite different so it's a fictional city and world for more worldbuilding and writing possibilities :D 3. like kc, for angelwood i tend to keep it ambiguous, but angelwood is located in the bible belt essentially, a vague american town in the middle of nowhere. 4. thank you! ;-; so for ronin's speaking, i tend to draw from milton, john keats, william yates, t.s. eliot, shakespeare, as well as latin and greek plays… generally, from literary and poetic works that are either rebellious or romantic to start with, or repurposed for the rebellious, romantic, and the grotesque. these are people that i feel he'll read, so that's where his references come from! c:

2025-02-22 23:46:56 +0000 UTCOnce again I apologize for the GREAT enthusiasm, for my bad English and because this will surely be a long one: (Sorry, I was being paranoid and I thought a lot so I deleted the comment I had posted and rewrote it) 1- In KC's Christmas DLC Angel is talking about Ronin's gift and she says "He's really insistent on being clean. I think it's come with the territory given the exes he's had :')”. Can you go a little deeper into that? What was Angel referring to? 2- What would LI+Luka and Feli do with an artist (more specifically a cartoonist/dancer) who struggles to collapse? Like who faints, stops eating, hurts their feet/hands until you bleed, etc 3- Which of the LI's usually cries the most? I think that in reality all of them would cry for something (although Idk). Is there anything specific that makes LI's cry? 4- Are there any physical characteristics that LIs are attracted to in someone? 5- Assuming that mc isn't here (or that mc chose V or Misaki) would there be any chance that Ronin and Angel would like each other again and be a couple again? What would Ronin do if he liked Angel again (and vice versa Angel with Ronin)? In the same line, assuming that mc isn't around or something, would there be any chance that V and Misaki will date (romantically)? I mentioned it before, but if there are any questions that have been answered before, that are offensive or that you just don't want (or can't) answer please tell me and I'll change it immediately ♡ Once again, I apologize for deleting and rewriting this.

2025-02-22 17:54:44 +0000 UTCI fear I am a little late to the party but I have a couple of questions lmao! Also there are a lot of questions within questions (if that makes sense LMAO) so do bare with me :D 1. how would the KC cast’s reactions towards the MC if the MC WAS a killer? Like would that change their dynamics? (I’m assuming it would change ronins route the most lol) and if it would change the dynamics, how so? 2. Where is all the KC folks located? I always have assumed general locations but do they live anywhere canonically? Is there a specific location for “Uptown” 3. Going off that question, where exactly is Angelwood located? 4. And finally this is a bit more on the writing side of things but ronin has a very specific and poetic way of speaking. Constantly uses biblical and mythological references when he speaks (which is SUCH a good touch on his character) but how do you write that? Where do you get the vocabulary? What’s the process behind writing ronin’s dialogue? Thank you so much for any answers you are willing to give and making such amazing story’s!! I’m so excited to see where KC and Gluttony go next!! :D

2025-02-21 06:51:48 +0000 UTCI’m not sure if this has ever been asked before or not, but how would the LIs react if MC accidentally killed someone and came to them about it? Assuming it would be after they found out MC isn’t a serial killer. Whether it be from self defence or a situation gone horribly wrong, how would they react? Especially if MC would be worked up about the situation(i’d assume anyone who isn’t a serial killer would probably be) and they were the first person they contact through going to them or like a frantic phone call 🤔

2025-02-20 17:13:58 +0000 UTCronin - aside from the obvious (murder), i do think he'd like to visit an aquarium with mc. commentate on the fishies while joking with mc. (and just the thought of the blue neons reflecting off ronin's aesthetic… yeah). angel - she loves baking, too, and would love to make sweets and cupcakes and the like. (the mental image of angel giggling with flour on her nose is… too good, as is her holding mc's hands as they knead.) misaki - 100% a movies and cuddles person, and they'd absolutely love to go on an amusement park with mc (bonus points if it's abandoned + haunted and they can go on a lil trip :P) v - going out to gardens and admiring nature; he also loves art museums, and would enjoy seeing the fine art + performance art + abstract art with mc and discussing afterwards in a restaurant.

2025-02-20 12:04:57 +0000 UTChi hi! thank you for your support <3 and yes, that's the plan! i really want to give mc more personality traits (eg. "aggressive vs passive", "reliable vs unreliable", /possibly/ like how scarlet hollow did it but i'm not entirely certain yet), as well as developing the mc's serial killer cover story further. my ideal would to have this affect how much the serial killers believe your serial-killer-ness, depending on how you act in the game and what serial killer build you go for :)

2025-02-20 11:53:53 +0000 UTCSince we know already that kc expanded is gonna go more in depth with the li’s and the other characters, i was wondering if you plan to also expand on the mc a bit more? Thank you! Glad I’m able to support ❤️

2025-02-20 08:40:11 +0000 UTCI have one! What type of stuff would the main 4 do with mc when they hang out? Like watch movies while cuddling, baking going out to a restaurant see an aquarium ect ect
