Hello everyone!
I'm writing a post to let you know that my newest BL VN, How to Melt a Maiden's Heart (or Melty Heart for short), has been released! Yay \o/
Melty Heart is a cute slice of life story set on the fictional Japanese island of Omorishima (whose name might ring a bell if you've read my earlier yuri VN, My Dear Prince. The VNs take place on the same island and there's a couple of references to MDP in Melty Heart.)
The story centers around Reo, a delinquent who doesn't care about his grades, or his appearance, or school in general, and Yuuma, the serious head of the student council who's always picking fights with Reo. Reo can't stand Yuuma, and the feeling is mutual... But this changes when Reo discovers, quite by accident, that Yuuma has been working part-time at a local caf while dressing as a maid.
Reo uses this knowledge to his advantage, and decides to blackmail Yuuma. He coerces Yuuma into helping him with his Love Quest to win over his childhood friend, Chinami. Reo's sure, with Yuuma's help, Chinami will finally fall for him, and they'll be able to live happily ever after...
So why does Reo keep thinking about Yuuma, damn it?!
This VN is suitable for all ages and doesn't contain any sexual content or anything particularly fanservicey, apart from a brief scene of Reo in the bath. There's some cursing, but nothing too excessive. The VN is available on PC, mac, and linux, and you can check it out here:

As always, I hope you enjoy it, and happy early holidays!

Hi everyone, I'm making a quick post to let you know that I've uploaded a shiny new build of Criminal Cat onto Steam! The new build fixes up a handful of typos which were pointed out by a reader, so the story should now be a little more polished. As always, do let me know if you find any bugs or typos in the new build, and I will try to fix things in a timely manner! - ebi

Hi everyone, Just writing a quick post to let you know I've uploaded a new build of the game. The build fixes a handful of typos which were pointed out by very kind readers on my Discord server, fixes one incorrectly placed sprite, and also makes the chronology of the story a little clearer. I also edited all of Aster's interactions with Angelique, since some people were turned off by how caustic his internal narration is at points. He's still pretty snippy, but it got pared down a little. The story is supposed to be light-hearted and silly, and I don't want it inadvertently upsetting anybody. As always, let me know if you find more typos or issues, and I will try to fix things in a reasonable amount of time. - ebi

Hello everyone \o/
Im writing a quick post to let you know that Ive released a shiny VN, My Confounding Cat is Criminally Cute (thats such an extra title lmao)
Criminal Cat is a relatively short BL VN without any choices or branches. It follows a grumpy wizard, Aster, who lives a reclusive life deep in the woods and brews potions to get by. Aster is taciturn by nature, and he swears he isnt lonely! Hes perfectly fine keeping to himself, thank you very much
Until a black cat tumbles down his chimney one day, throwing his whole life into disarray!
After taking the black cat in, Aster soon discovers this clumsy kitten is no ordinary feline. He is, in actuality, a young man called Blaise, who has been cursed by a witch to assume the form of a cat during the sunlight hours but why? What did Blaise do to get cursed, and can Aster help him?
Itll be a huge pain, but Aster will (reluctantly) do his best. Hell never be able to get rid of Blaise if he cant, and all Aster really wants is a quiet life. Its not like hes going to fall for his catboy companion or anything, right?
Right?
Criminal Cat is a pretty sweet and light story, and it doesnt contain any explicit content. The steamiest thing youll find here are a handful of kiss scenes (well, how else are you supposed to break a curse?!)
The adorable art is by Ekkoberry, who handled the character sprites, CGs, and the UI! I usually work with multiple artists per project, so having one person manage all of the art-related tasks was a pretty new experience for me. Im really happy with how this VN turned out: I think it looks very cute and cohesive!
Please consider checking the VN out if you're interested! It's not that long, so it's pretty cheap! And, as always, feel free to leave a review to let me know what you think. Reviews are very helpful for small developers such as myself, as they help push my games to more people and can boost discoverability!

Aster is a talented mage who lives deep in the forest. Awkward and anti-social, he prefers poring over his potions to speaking with other people, and he’s at his happiest when he can conduct his strange magical experiments in peace.
Unfortunately for Aster, however, life isn’t that simple. Whilst working on a particularly potent potion, something peculiar happens. A black cat falls from Aster’s chimney, filling his home with soot.
In a moment of weakness, Aster decides to take the stray cat in. He’s always been more fond of animals than people, and having a catpanion hanging around the house might help brighten up his everyday life.
That’s what Aster thinks, at least…
Until he discovers the cute cat which fell down his chimney isn’t an ordinary cat at all. He is, instead, a young man called Blaise, who has been cursed to assume the form of a cat during the daytime.
Now, Aster has to try and help Blaise break this curious curse. If he doesn’t, Blaise will be stuck as a cat for all eternity, and Aster’s pride as a mage will be on the line. It’s just one simple curse, after all. How hard could it be to dispel it, really?
…The answer, as it turns out, is very.
This could just prove to be a cat-astrophe!
