The Gobbos

Following up from last week's post, while the goblins looked nice, they didn't fit my mental image of the cute shortstack gobbos that I think of when I imagine all my favorite goblin girl designs...

The Gobbos First Draft

Designing new characters can be tricky, but Aila has a knack for it, but one thing that we went back and forth on a lot was these two goblins. On one hand, you want them to look the part, goblins...

Night Three Jan

I didn't realise how much Annaposting I'd done lately, so here's some Jan! In Night Three, she's dressed as a vampire. Maybe you're picking up some kind of theme here ;D

Alyxian Spellcasting

Maybe I put too much thought into the magic system for Love Sucks, it's probably just my love for hard magic systems coming though. I like it when things just make sense, and a part of that is th...

Anna Paperdoll

This is the completed paperdoll for Anna in Night Three!  You might remember the black and pink design from a while ago, and while I still love that look, the white one suited Anna more. View Post

Anna-MationsVS1

A test for the possibility of animations! Maybe we'll have them, maybe we won't, but the first step is always to try it and see what works and what doesn't! So here's an annamation :D

The Reaper

The fact someone is dying... and then dying, and dying and dying again causes quite an issue in the realm of the reapers. Is the MC alive, or is he dead? The paperwork no longer makes sense! I've...

1 Year Anniversary

One year ago today, Love Sucks Night Two came out. And frankly I can't believe it's been a year.  

Part of me is still in disbelief that I released a game on steam, and ho...

Lore: Disguises

In the era of human expansion, monsters need to look human to avoid being exposed. For some, this is easy. A pair of sunglasses and a big hat, for others, it needs some deeper physical changes. B...

Get In

There's always room for a little action in the silly monster romance game. It was fun in Night Two, so N3 has  some too! I won't spoil any more of this scene though!

Cadence

Some of you may remember Cadence, the girl from the Kissing Booth, and Dr Blankenship's niece! While she was introduced in Night Two, and had an extremely brief appearance in a couple of area int...

Lore: Prisms

Prisms! An addition to the Love Sucks lore about magic and the use of it in the world. You may have seen Addy with these in Night Two when she tried to cast a spell.

Anna's Night Three Costume

After a few designs and interactions, we have Anna's costume for Night Three! At least, for now. There's always the chance it could change again, but this it! Also, one of the other color choices...

Girl Mode: With Dr B and Naomi

Here is some more clips of the mythical girl mode that's being worked on on the side. Today, it's more of the scene where Dr Blankenship and Naomi have an alleged 'orgy' with Sarah!

If you thought Dr Blankenship was tall, wait until you see the librarian, and some of you may already know her as Tiamat, the OC of our good friend Midlight. How she will be involved with the sto...

Costume Progress

Love Sucks has always had self-acceptance as one of its major themes. Perhaps their Night Three costumes being a succubus and a vampire is a little on the nose, but I like to call it symbolic ins...
