Dear Worshippers, It Is Time! The General Has Graciously Given You The Opportunity To Purchase His Deputies'

I will literally sob I love them all so much<3

things i personally would like for ga-ming because i'm biased:

him and yun jin as long distance friends/acquaintances; for one they're the two poster children of liyue traditional performing arts, and for another they both seem to like tea. i hope yun jin teaches him how to get more customers/paying clients bc OTL mans lion dance troupe is struggling. hc that gaming brings her new tea shipments fresh from yilong port/chenyu vale :3

him and chongyun. somehow fandom (ie at least 3 ppl) has collectively had the same delusion that he and cy will interact and im here for it. them vying for xiao's attention or being claymore training buddies or whatever i just need them to have voicelines together

on a similar note if gaming likes spicy food. HAHAHAHA another person who triggers chongyun's yang energy...........

but from what we know of xinyue kiosk's cuisine style + the fact that gaming's canto, it seems unlikely that he'll prefer spicy stuff (maybe a seafood special dish????). so maybe they'll be ok having dinner together

they already look like they're plugging gaming and xiao interaction but IT WILL COME TRUE. TRUST. the whole "donning/taking off a mask" parallel, lion dances bringing good luck vs xiao's task of subduing evil during lantern rite, and his concept art waving at xiao and calling him senior/adeptus or whatever, anyways I need this to be in game. it would be SO FUN because this means xiao is literally just collecting pyro kids (hu tao, xiangling, now gaming) who've simply decided to like him. he could bring a lantern rite performance to wangshu inn since he travels anyway and xiao doesn't like the crowds

xiangling gives him free food and guoba likes him. don't have much thought behind this one i just want the pyro users to hang out and idk lion dancers should get free things i think. she provides cabbages for him during his shows (she swears on this kind of thing for wanmin's good luck and growing fortunes)

idk what else. i just need him to get integrated into liyue 6ang (xinyan xiangling hu tao chongyun xingqiu yun jin group)

i'll be thoroughly shocked if any of these actually come true but i can daydream

[ FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT BEFORE LONG-TERM HIATUS ]

Hello Everyone!

This isn't really a final FINAL announcement but an announcement regardless. 

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for sticking around for "The Kid at the Back" since first release up until now. I am still currently in hiatus, juggling both boothing, travelling and working on the game. For now, I'll just be answering some general questions here.

Are you a game company/team/group?

As I have stated in my IP Guidelines and multiple times throughout my journey,  "The Kid at the Back" is made by ONE PERSON. I am not a company, I am not a team studio, I am simply a one-man dev, and I do all of the coding, the writing with the help of some friends, and most especially the art.

Second, I only made this Visual Novel for FUN. It is a passion project, and I don't have a proper schedule for working on it since I have other real-life jobs to do. I travel most of the time, and I do artist booths within my country, so my time is minimal. This means I only work on the game during my free time.

Are you accepting help with your game development?

Third, as much as I appreciate people willing to help me, I would rather have full control of my game, this is MY project and MY journey on game development so having people into the mix will crush my workflow.

Are you accepting collaborations?

The only official collaboration I have as of May 15, 2025 is with Plush Wonderland. Other than that, I don't accept collaborations at this moment.

Is the game complete/finished?

People keep mistaking my game to be finished when it is NOT.

it is still in progress and it is a very very SLOW progress, I have multiple lines to redo, re-code, and re-write and correct along with writing the last remaining days. doing new sprites and CG art.

When is the next update?/When will you release Day 3?

This question has been answered ages ago but I will be stating it here once and for all so that I don't have to keep repeating myself. 

No, I won't be updating the DEMO anymore.

VERSION 2.3.3 will be the LAST demo update, slight grammatical errors and everything because I will be focusing on developing and fleshing out my game's dialogue and writing rather than thinking back on the demo and its errors, forcing me to not make any progress and staying stagnant which I do not want.

The next big "update" will be the full game itself.

I will occasionally post in my patreon about my progress but once again, it will be slow and I will only post if I feel like sharing do please don't expect a lot, I won't be increasing the slots for soulmates either. 

Anything I post in twitter will just be regular announcements, as of May 17, 2025, "The Kid at the Back" is collaborating with Plush Wonderland on the new collaborative work on 20cm dolls, I don't handle the doll's development and shipping, etc, it's all on Plush Wonderland, I only do checking and approving on merchandise to be sold by Plush, so if you have any questions about the doll, please ask Plush Wonderland directly.

Best Regards, Fantasia.

Hello Everyone! This isn't really a final FINAL announcement but an announcement regardless. First of all, I would like to thank everyone fo

ok kids repeat after me

vinegar and bleach makes chlorine gas, which is highly toxic

ammonia and bleach makes chloramine, which is highly toxic

rubbing alcohol and bleach makes chloroform, which is highly toxic

hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes peracetic/peroxyacetic acid, which can be highly corrosive

be careful about your cleaning products and dont get yourself injured or potentially killed ok

Svsss au where theres a third transmigrator

Mobei-Jun

He has never read pidw

He has no idea how he ended up here

Which is why he doesnt ask, doesnt tell, does what hes told and fucks off when not needed

SQH figures it out when MBJ accidentally says "kobe" when he throws him to the other side of the room one day

Haven't posted in ages so have a random drawing of Hello Isagi Kitty :3

look at pretty elf man

ok that’s it

I love this they look adorable 😭❤ your art is also amazing oml

i drew bingyuan celebrating easter the czech way!

to explain: on easter monday the boys hit girls with a braided willow whip, which is supposed to keep them young, and in return they give the boys easter eggs (sometimes they also add a ribbon to the whip)

it’s a pretty unique easter tradition, so aside from it being silly and fun, i also wanted to share it (because im czech)

a really little animated black cat with giant eyes and no other discernible features

New year, new me, but the same obsession with the Marauders and my inability to move on from their story. Some things never change.
