Canvas Menagerie is a large boys love story told over 3 Acts, which represent different stages in the relationship between the main character Niko and his love interest Ren. Act 1 is them meeting and falling for each other, Act 2 is them starting to date, and Act 3 is them getting closer. Currently, the first 2 Acts have first drafts. I started the new year with 5k written and I wrote 5k this month. That means there’s a total of 10k written out of an estimated 45k for the last section, as every Act was estimated to be around 45-50k words long. It’s my goal to not only finish writing the entire game by the end of the year but also make significant progress on the rest of the game.

A late 2024-early 2025 full release for the game is what’s currently planned. If you’re interested in eventually beta testing Canvas Menagerie, [url=https://discord.gg/vE2Yng4]join our Discord[/url]! It’s small and is where I post a lot of updates & previews as they happen, as it’s easier to share small stuff there than tackle social media algorithms. Currently, Canvas Menagerie is part of [url=https://store.steampowered.com/sale/TheStorytellersFestival2024]The Storyteller’s Festival[/url], a Steam festival celebrating visual novels!
