I had time?! To draw?! Shock! Horror! Quick! Someone check that there aren't any tears in reality!
>ahem<
So fun fact, in the game we originally considered two of the characters getting hanahaki disease. For those of you who don't know it's a fictional disease caused by unrequited love that causes the victim to cough up flowers and blood. If it's not treated or if the love isn't requited, the victim will die. Obviously we scrapped the idea because that was just too depressing. Not to mention, it put a lot of guilt and pressure on the player to choose specific characters, which didn't seem fair at all. It's up to the players to choose who they romance, not us. However, the idea still inspires me to draw stuff like this. So enjoy.
Here is a sketch of Arabella that I drew around last year. (Yes I know she looks a little derpy, this was basically on the back of some reading I had to do)
So last week I had a post where I briefly mentioned I might do Ikebukuro Records art or something for the week of Halloween...the chances of that have slimmed. Normally my college has something called a reading week, where everyone gets little to no additional work to catch up on reading assignments and such as well as no classes. However, this year that doesn't seem to be the case, because the college year started late in order for new students to prepare for entry, due to postponed entry exams. So now to catch up, we don't have Halloween off, and we're getting off Christmas late. I have a lot of things to complain about but it's probably best I don't do that, but in conclusion I probably can't do anything special for the holiday. I will try to scrounge up some old drawings I might have lying around but don't expect anything of high quality. People are free to draw their own art or write or ask anything if they wish, but I'll be busy drowning in literature.
Sooooo... fuck Covid19
Bye!
So I've decided that if I'm going to be active at all, it will be on Fridays. Maaayyyybbbeee Saturdays as well. Sundays are even more of a stretch, but those are the most likely if at all. So if you have asks or anything to send, expect a response by then. Holidays will be the exception. As always, please check out Ikebukuro Records or promote it. I might do some art for it on Halloween.
Thank you for listening

Ok so that didn't work. I would draw some stuff anyway but it is midnight again, very late, and along with other things. Posting or drawing something would not be wise right now and I have a schedule to go back to. Ikebukuro Records birthday celebration, canceled. Still feel free to post any fanart, reviews, jokes or just spread the word. It's just that my free time is limited. Education is holding me hostage.
COMMENCE CELEBRATION OF BIRTH
Hey guys! It just struck midnight! And for me that means my teen years are officially behind me (please help I'm not ready to adult). So to celebrate, it would be really cool if people could spread the word about Ikebukuro Records, the Drrr!! Dating Simulator Demo. Feel free to send asks, draw fanart, do reviews, post jokes, and I might post some art if I feel like it ✌😋 (no stories though. College work says no)

A RETURN TO IKEBUKURO…
It was another day like any other until a young woman learned that her boss had planned a job transfer for her. Her destination? A city in Tokyo, Japan by the name of Ikebukuro. The city had been blessed with five years of normalcy, which made more tourists visit. Her best friend, Arabella Faraldo, was excited to visit such a grand city so she insisted on joining the young journalist on her journey. Unbeknownst to them, two famous figures known by its occupants through causing destruction have returned to the city. With a new gang on the rise, an unhinged informant with a “love” for humanity, supernatural entities and flying vending machines, the young woman’s new job is the least of her worries as a new Ikebukurian!

DURARARA!! BELONGS TO RYOHGO NARITA, SO PLEASE READ OR WATCH THE SERIES FIRST BEFORE PLAYING THIS GAME!
Here’s a few screenshots of “Ikebukuro Records”, a Durarara!! dating sim fan game. Thank you to my two lovely artists, (digital artist) mr_glassesarts and (sketch artist and co-writer) MockNerd!
This takes place 7 years after the Final Curtain arc, so some characters may look a bit different (Izaya being one of them).
Now obviously the player can input their name, I just put “Player Name” to let the players decide what MC’s name would be. So they don’t need to worry about a set one.
The bachelors available in the game are: Shizuo, Masaomi, and Izaya.
There’s 3 endings in the demo, but there will be 22 endings in the final game. The demo will have days 1-10 (routes start on day 8), while the amount of days for the full game is TBD. As of now, there are 14 characters from the series, though more will be added in the final game.
So many that I kinda want to pimp slap myself for being such a workaholic. I love programming this game but sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind.
Some characters from the series will only be seen in certain routes or simply mentioned.
The demo will be posted on Game Jolt and Itch.io. So far day 2 for Shizuo and Masaomi are finished programming wise, just need the art for ‘em.
I’ll keep posting updates!
