My New VN Scorpion Hill is Out (but not on itch.io???)

My new project is finally out BABBBBBBYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a dark romance with monstergirls, here let me post a fancy summary here.

After being hit with a truck, a boy gets isekaied to a fantasy world with his childhood... bully? It's an enemies-to-lovers romance with dark overtones and monstergirls in every sense of the compound word! 
Nitocris is a tomboy scorpion girl with violent and psychopathic tendencies. Psychopathic tendencies which the MC is well-acquainted with. She proves her untrustworthiness and terrible nature by the day. However, though she may be objectively evil by nature and not capable of redemption, she is also hot. So there's like, some moral grayness to be had here.
As they fight alongside each other, using violence to scrape a living in a brand new world, our protagonist must also come to terms with the traumatic memories of their past and how they went from enemies, to friends, to maybe something more...? Do these two even deserve a happy ending?
Scorpion Hill is a kinetic novel about 2-3 hours long. So, movie length! It features a lot of naughty words and naughty bits, so viewer discretion is advised. 

And here's some preview images to go along with it: https://imgur.com/a/2736QRX


And I'm sure nobody will  mind if I just accidentally drop some DDL links MEDIAFIRE- GOFILE- BUZZHEAVIER- WORKUPLOAD (I uploaded these myself)
After all, according to their content creator quality guidelines, game developers are to 'Prefer uploading directly to itch.io', but nowhere does it say DDL links or banned.

Okay, now let me take a breath to explain myself.
Since Ninisanni Scenario, I've taken some time to work on my art. I plan on utilizing it for future VNs, so might as well. Scorpion Hill is an idea I thought would be too good not to follow up on, so I decided it would be my next project. It's silly, edgy, maybe a little cringe, but I hope you get some enjoyment out of it.

Now as to why I'm not making a storepage... Well, itch.io's been antsy about removing and indexing content without any specific rhyme or reason. True artists like myself cannot expect to be beholden such whimsical censorship. But Scorpion Hill is just waiting to get instagibbed by a cursory glance from any staff.
So uh... in this case, I will kneel to their demands, since I still would like to keep a good reputation with the censorious nuns currently in itch.io's employ. A game snipe or tick on my account will put the heat on my back, which would be a real conundrum, since Scorpion Hill is probably the edgiest I'll ever get with a game. SFW and lightcore stuff is on the horizon in the future.

Onto happier topics. This one took a couple months longer than expected, because I put way too much art into it. I hope you can appreciate it, but maybe for next time I won't make seventeen different standing sprites for the same character, with an average of six different facial expressions for each of them. And then you've got the side characters.
Well, I could've made it easier on myself in the art department, but I don't regret spending a lot of time on it. I've learned a lot about digital art. And even though I'm not the best, I will continue to make an effort to improve so that you guys get professional level visual novels in due time.

As for future projects, I haven't decided. I'll always be writing, but the question is whether to tackle a shorter project, or go for one of the larger epic projects. I think I want to get feedback on the artstyle first, and if it appears there's still room for improvement, then I will use the smaller projects to solidify my artstyle while also providing good readings to you all.

That's about it. Reminder that viewer discretion is definitely advised with Scorpion Hill, so if you wanna take a pass on it and just look forward to my next project, please, by all means. I just thought there were other people out there that might enjoy this story about romancing a cackling villainess.

A great read. Though the barbie doll bouncing was a bit funny and using the bleeding punched face as an emote for expressing shock felt somewhat misplaced I found overall the art did its job. 

The story reminded me of another itch darling Crimson Grey. where normally crazy/bad/evil girl you go I CAN FIX THEM!!!!1! 

In reality, there's nothing to fix; they're as perfect as they are; you just accept them and love them as they love you. #Wholesome lol

You got a discord????

Nah, sorry. Email is the best way to stay in touch with me.
