Hi everyone! I'm writing a quick post to let you know that I've uploaded a new build of Actress! This build fixes a handful of typos which were pointed out to me on the Steam community hub over the last couple of years, so the reading experience should be smoother. I also re-coded some of the longer panning scenes so they should look a little smoother. As always, do let me know if you find any problems, and I'll try to fix them when I can! I also have a question. A few years ago, I paid to have Actress translated into Russian. I received the files, and implemented them into the game, but a friend of mine who's a native Russian speaker informed me there were various issues with the Russian translation, including various typos, character names being inconsistent, and some tense problems. I was told the Russian translation was 'readable', and it was clearly done by a human rather than a machine, but the experience was rather unpolished. As such, I held off on adding the Russian translation into the VN officially. I was wondering if people would be interested in me adding the Russian translation into the VN even if it is imperfect. As I did pay for the TL, I would like to add it into the game so more people can experience the story. I'm hesitant to include a translation that contains various issues, however, and I can't justify the expense getting the full visual novel re-translated. I'd be interested to know if you have any opinions on the matter! Do let me know if you'd be interested in reading Actress in Russian even if the translation is a bit spotty in places. - ebi x

Hi everyone, I'm writing an announcement to let you know that my newest VN, All Ashes and Illusions, has been released on Steam!
Ashes is a fairly grim 'romance' story about a delusional young prince who falls obsessively in love with his childhood nursemaid, Safiya. Ashes features content some people might find discomforting, such as: a relationship with a 20 year age difference (Yuel, the protagonist and delusional young prince, is 20, while Safiya, his nursemaid and love interest, is 41), dub/noncon, written depictions of violence, coarse language, and a lot of casual misogyny. Ashes is quite a painful read, but it's one of my favourite stories I've written to date, and I'm very fond of the characters. Do consider checking it out, if you're after a VN with an older love interest, and you don't mind a hefty dose of Despair and Suffering! I'd be very interested to hear what people make of this story (and Yuel, in particular), and whether it succeeds in ousting Sweetest Monster from its position of 'The Most Unpleasant ebi Story to Date'! If you enjoyed some of my grimmer stories that tackle unsettling subject matter, such as the aforementioned Sweetest Monster, The Mermaid of Zennor, or Six Days of Snow, it might be worth checking out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1673020 - ebi x
