itch.io

Hi, we sometimes share development updates on our social media, which is linked on our itch.io page. we're certainly not the only devs who prefer communicating through social media rather than posting devlogs here.

I understand that some peeps would prefer updates on itch.io, but the info is already available for anyone interested enough to look for it. Just because we don't post updates here doesn't mean we haven't been communicating about the game's development :)

the loop is intentional. you're not done playing the game yet. there's so much more to discover :)

Aww, this was such a heartwarming message to read! 🥹💗

First of all, please don't apologize for your English, it's perfectly fine! And second, thank you SO much for taking the time to write all of this. I genuinely don't know what to say!

It really means a lot to both me and Blastic to know that there are people out there who appreciate not only the game itself, but also the time and effort we put into creating it. We're just two people working on something we're incredibly passionate about, and while development can certainly be exhausting at times, seeing messages like yours reminds us why we love doing this in the first place 💕

We're doing our best to make Day 2 worth the wait, and there's still so much we want to share with everyone! Knowing that people are willing to be patient and support us along the way takes a lot of pressure off our shoulders, and we're genuinely grateful for that.

Thank you again for your kindness, encouragement, and for caring about our well-being. Please take good care of yourself, too! Sending you a big virtual hug from both of us! 🫂💗

Idk, it's always possible that the maids try to seduce him, but fail every time. the dev said the king is still a virgin, and that he's obsessed with the MC. that's why he kidnapped you. and on tumblr, Aurelian literally said this: "My little star, do you really think I would let some maid touch me there?  We can execute her, if you wish." ^^

yeah, we noticed 😭

Ugh, not again. This is an unauthorized upload. DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND PLAY from the app store. The thieves want to make money with Neko's IP.

no worries, and thank you for apologizing! ^^ just to clear up one thing: Blastic’s Patreon and social media already existed before we started working on Broken Colors, and she has always posted a lot of character art there. that’s primarily what most of her followers are there for, so those accounts were never meant to be dedicated development blogs for the game.

development has definitely taken much longer than we originally expected, mainly because the project grew quite a bit beyond what we had initially planned. my job situation also changed shortly after the demo was released, and nowadays I have to work so many hours that I’m rarely even at home—I barely get to see my own mother anymore. naturally, that leaves me with much less free time to work on the game than I had when we first started.

we’ve always tried to be transparent about that whenever people asked about development, though. the game is still being worked on; it’s simply progressing more slowly because real life has changed quite a lot for us since we began. and if we ever reached a point where we genuinely no longer wanted to continue the project, we would say so rather than quietly leave everyone guessing ^^

hi, just for your information: it was never "supposed to" come out in summer. there was never a release date to begin with. just fans spreading rumors and misinformation, especially on TikTok. never believe anything you see on that platform.

Please scroll down the comments, you'll find your answer there :)

You aren't entitled to dictate how we spend our time or where we post development updates. I already clarified that the game is actively being worked on. You're allowed to be frustrated by the wait, but sarcastic comments about what we supposedly do with the other “364 days and 23 hours” aren't constructive.

Hi, the game hasn't been abandoned and is still actively being worked on. We understand that the wait is frustrating, but please don't spread misinformation or accuse us of abandoning our fans simply because development takes time. Some devs only post updates on their social media, not on itchio.

the king didn't cheat tho. he asked a maid to take care of his wounds, nothing more :)

hi! our game is not "dead".

please always check for updates on our socials first before making a statement like that!

the game is still in development. you can find some sneak peeks on our social media pages, which are listed on this game page! ^^

nope. you should delete the mobile version. it was stolen and is not official :/

Sí, Rasmus tendrá contenido +18 :)

Los enlaces están aquí, en esta página del juego; solo tienes que subir un poco, jeje :)

Hi there 👋 it's not abandoned (if it was, we would actually announce that). We're still working on it. I posted sneak peeks throughout the last years of Day 2 on my social media accounts, you won't see any updates on here. We work on it in our spare time of which we have very little, and that's the main reason why it’s taking so long.

hi, apk files are only for android, not apple.

Hey Neko! I recently played through some of the other routes, and I noticed that one of them still feels a bit unfinished. It’s the route where you wake up at home in the morning and run into Harlequin. If you choose not to follow him, the MC just briefly looks for Pierrot and then immediately runs into Carol again.

In all the other routes, it makes sense that the MC is shaken because they've been somewhere they really shouldn’t have been. But here? MC hasn’t really done anything except look for Pierrot, so the later dialogues with him and Ticket Taker don’t quite land the same way. It would probably help to fill that gap with a bit more content—let the MC discover something disturbing, something that rattles them just as much as in the other routes, before they meet Carol again and Ticket Taker starts getting suspicious. Maybe you're already aware of this, but I wanted to mention it, just in case :)

You’ve created an amazing game that’s clearly made with a lot of love. I really adore the designs, the whole ticket concept and the idea that the clowns are secretly monsters. I hope you take all the time you need with future updates and take good care of your health.

Much love, the Broken Colors devs <3

Hi ^o^/)

We only post updates on itchio when we have a new file to upload. Updates about the progress are only shared on social media and on Blastic's Patreon.

Hey!

In general, apart from Chapter 1 (the demo), we never planned to release a SFW version of the other chapters, since that would be especially impossible for DG’s route.

Depending on whether itchio finds other solutions or payment processors, we’d consider publishing the game on Patreon, and possibly on other platforms as well, since some fans don’t have access to Patreon.

Because of DG’s route, we’re not even sure it would be worthwhile to upload a “censored” version here. The next chapter would ultimately just be a preview and would have to cut off right before the first +18 content in the middle :/

Hi, I think you misunderstood: The demo is SFW by default; there's no NSFW version of it. We only mentioned this because of the sudden censorship on itchio, which resulted in our game being shadowbanned. It was important to let them know that the demo does not violate any policies of our payment processor.

Of course you can! I'm interested to see what kind of game you would make :)

¡Ay, muchísimas gracias por jugar a nuestro juego y disfrutarlo! DG "nació" siendo adulto, nunca tuvo una infancia. Eso se debe a que su papel es proteger a su madre, y no podría hacerlo si fuera un niño :)

Thanks so much for your honest review! No worries at all, I really appreciate constructive criticism, and I actually agree with the points you made! :)

In my defense, I haven’t written anything in over 15 years, so I kind of expected my writing to be a bit rusty and to have some flaws. That’s why I was honestly surprised that most people seemed totally happy with Day 1, haha.

I’d love to update the chapter, but the problem is that there are already several translations done by native speakers. Any changes I make would mean all those translations would also need to be updated, which I hadn’t really considered at the time. (And honestly, translations weren’t even on our radar for a first-time project, it overwhelmed me a little bit 😅)

Since the translations are done by volunteers, not all of them will stick around or stay in contact with me. For the next chapters, I’ll probably hold off on allowing translations until I’m really satisfied with the English script. So unfortunately, I can’t promise that Day 1 will get another update. With even more languages being added, it would be way too much for me to handle all the retranslation work on my own 😔

All I can promise is that I’ll do my best to make the next chapters tighter and improve the overall flow. Thanks so much for playing and for enjoying it anyway <3

Hi, we're still working on the game. But we only show sneak peeks on social media or Blastic's patreon, not here :)

We're not full-time developers, we only work on this project when we have some spare time, and the artist is currently grieving the loss of a family member. Thx for your understanding <3

Hi, you can do that by going into the settings, either through the main menu or the quick menu :)

Hi, thank you for your honest comment! :)

However, I’d like to clear up a small misunderstanding: There will be a poly route with DG and Damon in the game, but it’s completely optional. Damon actually prefers having MC to himself, so whether or not a poly relationship happens is entirely up to you. As for DG, he’s aromantic and prefers an open relationship where no one tells him who he can or can’t sleep with. Like you rightly said, at the end of the day, he’s still a serial killer, not exactly romance material.

As for MC, it’s kind of a hit or miss depending on the player. MC was never meant to be a self-insert character, but rather someone with their own backstory. The player does have some influence over how they grow, though. Thanks for checking out our game,  maybe we’ll see you again sometime! ^^/)

Привет! Ты просто выбрал не тот шрифт. Не все шрифты в игре поддерживают все языки. Попробуй выбрать другой — тогда перевод отобразится как надо :)

Hi, we sometimes show sneak peeks on social media, but at the moment the artist (Blastic) needs time to grieve because a family member has passed away recently. Thanks for your understanding <3

Thanks for your sympathy! ^^ And yes, it is way too much! Hmm, I’d say it depends on what kind of shift I get :D

Hey! Do you follow my Twitter/ tumblr? I did share a sneak peek in March this year ^^

- holyschnitzel

Thank you so much for playing ☺️

Hi 👋 no it isn't. But we only post sneak peeks on our social media sites. If you just scroll down in the comments here on itchio, you can find the last update someone posted ^^

I suspect this has to do with your security settings? I don't have a mac but here's what you can try:

If you get the “can’t verify developer” message when trying to open the game:

Try Right-Clicking to Open:

- Instead of double-clicking the app, right-click (or Control-click) on the app and choose Open.

- A dialog will appear — this time with an "Open" button. Click that, and it should run.

Use System Settings (if needed):

- If the game still won’t open, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security.

- Scroll down to the Security section.

- You should see a message about the app being blocked — click “Allow Anyway”, then try opening the app again.

Gatekeeper Bypass (Terminal method):

- If you’re comfortable using Terminal, you can run this command:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /path/to/game.app

- Replace /path/to/game.app with the actual path to the game file (you can drag the app into Terminal to auto-fill the path).sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /path/to/game.app

I know it's a bit of a hassle . Apple makes it tricky for indie devs without a Mac or dev license. Hopefully one of these steps works! Let me know if you're still stuck, and I’ll do what I can to help :)
