Eagle-eyed people (or those who’ve checked out the itch page) will have noticed that I changed the cover image…

For Chill Pills!

I feel like this one is a LOT more eerie and fits the tone better.

I did a little playing around and…

Chill Pills now has a custom cursor!

(I also removed a chunk of build 2 that repeated info of stuff that had just happened in the story— it was causing pacing issues)

I got so excited releasing the build that I forgot to mention two CG’s were done by guest artists!!

I credited them in the VN itself, but forgot to shout them out 😭

Both @karebeast.bsky.social and @/sappyotter (insta) did wonderful jobs on their respective pieces!

Just so everyone that follows me knows:

I did have a tiny part done on this build :D

@icebrrgdragon.bsky.social has worked really hard on this one, and he did a fantastic job, the more I hear and see his read-along for me, the better the story got! ✨️

I’ve decided to commission the last two CG’s for Build 4. They’ve been what’s holding this build back from being released. And to be honest, I’m just so tired of thinking of them 😭

I’m not going to rush the artist to get them done because they make banger art.

Thank you for your kind words! I’ve been struggling so much lately and I’ve really needed to hear this. <3

But hey! Just know I’ll eventually get around to completing Build 4. I’m not giving up on my beautiful boyos anytime soon.

That’s all I have to say!! See you all next time on—

“icebrrg talks about stuff”

I’m also VERY tough on myself when it comes to doing anything. Including being creative 😭

I think that’s honestly why this build has taken so long to come out— burn out and harsh self-criticism.

I won’t really say much more about what’s going on in my life because, well— you’re not here for that.

I’ve gotten a bit discouraged trying to draw one of the CG’s that I had to take a step back for a second to keep myself from burning out again.

I’m the kind of person who likes to finish what he’s started when he’s working on something, so believe me— it was hard to.

I’ve been slowly hacking away at the art for Build 4. The art for some of the CG’s in this build are kinda out of my comfort zone for drawing, and that’s why it’s not out yet.

I apologize for not releasing the build yet. I want the art to be finished for you all.

Heya! Decided to make yet another update on Build 4’s progress!

Build 4 is coming along nicely, and may release sometime in the beginning of September 👀

Yet Another Update on Build 4’s Progress

Yo, yo, yo! It’s icebrrg here, back with another update on progress. I know I’ve been radio silent on making devlogs for a little bit, but that’s because I’ve been busy. That aside, Build 4 is...

I thought I might be able to get Build 4 done by the end of the month, but now I’m not so sure :/

Kinda sucks that I might not reach my goal, but if I push myself too hard, I’ll get burnt out like I did after Build 3 released.

Apparently it didn’t publish? (Of course I find this out the day after 😭)

If you couldn’t see it before, hopefully now you can.

Just wanted to share some art I got commissioned by the wonderful @sappyotter.bsky.social (sappyotter on insta)!

The two good boyos are represented so well here that it warms my heart <3

Kip (the badger) is giving Kale (the red panda) a big “bear” hug. How sweet!

And rib crushing.
