We've got a post from Nemlei on TCOAAL's origins! Which is very sweet and poetic given last December was when she went off the internet. First will be the preview pics.
It's interesting how the moon has been a sorta background recurring motif in the game. Stars are most obviously associated with Ashley, Saturn the planet references the myth of him and the Olympians and the story of the Graves, but where does that leave the moon? It was also found in NGN above Lord Unknown's cradle, in between the stars that obviously represent Andrew and Ashley.
Maybe it being crescent shaped can mean that it's going to fade into obscurity or become a full moon, a reference to the route split? Maybe it represents their baby??? (which is another post for this crackhead theory)
When I first saw this, I thought Andrew was mad, but nope, it turns out that he's sad. I wonder why. It might be that lighthouse Ashley was stuck in with no stairs given that it's a different color and background from the one in October devlog. It might be the same one but changed across the scene. Who knows? I wonder what Andrew's thinking about here.
Someone pointed out to me that Ashley's smiling here. Is this before a climax, part of the falling action, or part of the epilogue? If so, does this suggest they are happier in the demon realm? Does that mean they become demons???
Also this is cute, I sure hope it's not a dream or daydream. Hopefully part of them sitting at the lighthouse?
Anyway, it's great to see Nemlei talk about the inception of the game. It's funny how Ashley was intended to be a silent protagonist, that is VERY opposite to how she turned out to be. I also really like how the game was made on a prompt of having gameplay, because it really enhances the horror. Nemlei did a good job there.
And their concept sketch is cute, I like it a lot.
Apparently, the plot, Andrew, and Ashley wrote themselves, I guess that meant that they really wanted to get it on with each other fast. And yeah, that last sentence is a fucking mood. I have way too many cool ideas but I can't write them all or writing them will kill me, so I just leave them rotting in docs and friends' DMs. And apparently Nemlei has an interest exploring her other one-shot VNs? Hopefully we get a follow-up to them all, especially Candy Scabs. But it's strange how Nemlei doesn't really talk about Jack in a Castle though. Perhaps she felt embarrassed by its quality?
This is overall an informative and oddly sweet post. Even though Nemlei is indeed a frustrating troll, she is a very cool and hilarious one. Happy holidays and I wish her a good new year.
Holy shit we got news???
Andrew and Ashley in demon realm jail is so fucking hilarious, i really do hope their jail breakout is merging into a demon being.
Very strong suspicion that Andrew became a demon at the moment. Or he's just proud of his stupid dad joke. That smile either suggests that or he managed to win in an argument or conflict with Ashley somehow.
And now we got the confirmation that while yeah, Ashley is indifferent to a sexual relationship with Andrew, she is open to trying with him. Decay romance/sex is definitely happening, which is incredibly funny and ominous. It seems like we might be getting three routes from this, where Andrew and Ashley either kill each other, self-reflect and treat each other better, or they become a couple (baby trap?).
Even though Nemlei is a troll and I should not trust her, the fact episode 4 may take ANOTHER year is incredibly heartbreaking. How big did this monstrosity grow??? But at least we have enough food while waiting for Burial, which hopefully will have less development issues than Decay.
