Hello, if you have questions about my characters, games lore, about me or about anything else really, then please be sure to read my FAQ before sending any ask. I will gladly try to answer you if the answer is not there :) This FAQ is also meant to evolve and be updated of course. Thank you !
Just closing my inbox for now, I have tons of unanswered asks already !
I will also certainly not be answering them all, especially as i get often asked the same questions over and over, so might make a litlle FAQ again some time.
"You are too sweet for the pirate's life... You'll end up on the plank sooner than you think, and I'll gladly give you that final push."
Raise you hand if a pirates best flag is a red flag ? 🙋♀️🚩
Well anyway, Varkas being... Varkas I suppose ? XD And a glimpse at my little FMC, Dalenna !
It was hard not to draw Varkas with a smirk, but as i stated before he does not know how to smile XD And I went a bit random with the rings and some details, I'll just have to refine all that later on~

Hi Chino, how you doing??
I'm sorry if you have answered this before, I haven't found your answer if it exists. My first question is on the 26th episode of Eldarya, where there were bugs preventing players from getting Ezarel's illu. Has it been fully fixed? It must be the 3rd time I play the episode with guides and never got it :(
My second question, still on Eldarya, is whether you think it is reasonable to hope for a sort of Alternate Life DLC like in MCL, but with Ezarel and Valkyon, or even pre-white sacrifice Lance? I think many of us keep login in in this hope, so I was wondering if there was any chance it would ever happen?
Thanks for answering our questions, love you!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hello there ! Regarding your first question, I think I know you got the illus in the end. But if anyone has a doubt at some point, it is better to contact with the game's support directly. They are the ones with the right tools to be able to check and help you :) (I can't ) ----- Regarding this other main recurrent question, First of all, thank you so much to everyone who likes my characters and worlds so much ! As a creator it really means a lot and I can only hope my future characters and stories will get as much passion from you. And so, I am sad to say this but Eldarya and MCL hsl/cl/ll/al are considered finished games by now and as for today*, no more content (new seasons, new episodes, ALs, etc... ) are planned for those sorry 🥲🥲🥲 *"as for today" meant as "never say never", or "we never know", but this is not a clue to hint there are some secret projects going on or whatever, there isn't.
You've met my first Pirate OC Varkas before Now you can meet Oshen too 😌
If Varkas doesn't know how to smile, Oshen does for sure... 😏 ------

I just wanted to thank you for all your work you’ve done over the years, I first played my candy love when I was around 11 years old maybe younger, and I’m 22 now, I still play and interact with the games to this day, your art and contributions in general have been so amazing, i feel like I’m rambling I’m sorry, I’ve been nostalgic lately because of an injury thats kept me inside for a while and just wanted to pop by and say this ❤️❤️
Hello !
Thank you so much for your message 💕 I hope you get well soon, take care of yourself !
As creators, we put ourselves out in the internet, and the internet is not always a kind place… Receiving such kind and supportive messages is always a very welcomed boost 🙏💕
If you have some favorites artists or creators don’t hesitate to drop them a little message, you’ll certainly make their day 🥹
Hi Chino, idk if it has already been asked a million time but are you still interested in continuing your personal game BOS one day?
Hello ! Thank you for your question, I've been asked a few times, but after so much time it's legitimate and I am sorry and ashamed for such delays 🥹 I definitely don't want to drop the project, and I will continue it for sure, but what's also sure is that is will be at a scarce pace anyway.
I always priorize work, and NewGen has been so demanding. It's taken all my focus these past monthes. And when I still have some energy on the evenings or weekend I will usually keep working on it too. I am quite sure my fiance, who also works at Beemoov and on BoS with me is on the same page than me on this. Keeping it personnal art related, lately I am also interested in doing a bit more bookish fandom fanarts, and I have a few more OCs I wanna bring to life, so I draw Meli and Ro a bit less :)
Otherwise, as I said I am usually too drained to keep working on a serious project that I want to keep it as a pleasure. My other priority overall in my schedule is to do something really different like sports, to have a bit more balanced healthy lifestyle and avoid being on the computer and screen 24/24h
Back to BoS, the second chapter is halfway done I think. I just have to get back to it at some point >o< Thank you for your support, it's always very motivating ! Beneath our Scars is a free visual romance game Discover BoS here
hi chino!! how are you doing?
i was wondering, since on one of your lastest ask you said nath had a little experience with girls in hs, had any of the other boys been with girls before candy?
i hope you're having a great day! take care<3
Hello ! I keep being asked about this for everyone, so I'm gonna answer it, but sorry I am still gonna keep it simple Crushes who had experience before Candy -Castiel -Nathaniel (the ask i already answered for him is here ) -Armin -Rayan -Eric -Dake -Priya -Hyun Crushes who had no experience before Candy -Kentin -Lysandre
And as I said also in a previous post about characters and there previous or possible relationships here However we are speaking of otome games here, and no matter what the crush's past relationships are, at the end of the day their only true love is your character and no one else.
Hi Chino 💓
You know My Candy Love is completely over but we haven't had the opportunity to find out what some specific High School characters do as adults
What do you imagine characters like Deborah(Especially her) Dake Peggy Li Charlotte Lucy etc. doing as adults?
Hello !
Debrah found a little job has as host at her local radio station. Still tries to do music of her own on her free time. Dake works part time at some holydays resort. He escorts tourists on boat for various sea activities, surf, snorkeling etc... The rest of his free time he enjoys himself or works and gives a hand to organisations for preservations and research of the sea life.
Peggy works as some people journalist/paparazzi obviously Li works as a surgeon assistant. Charlotte I'm not sure about Charlotte, but I would say something like in a bank or accountant. Lucy Im pretty sure Lucy doesnt really found a job she really likes and can commit to, she just goes around various little jobs here and there, sometimes not working for short periods. Would def like to maybe find something with children. I can't be listing and doing every single character though sorry xD
Hello Chino! <3 I've always had this doubt… what was Leiftan's initial guard?

Hi Chino, I hope all the Jason questions aren't becoming annoying haha.
I know a lot of people are fans of him so I was wondering, if you are allowed to disclose this information, since Jason is like a secret route would he have his own illustration and separate moments in events (if there's going to be any events and they'll would be similar to the ones from mcl of course)? 🥺👉👈
Hi !
Yes events are planned (and Jason will have his own place in those) but they won’t be avalaible immediately because unfortunately they wont’ be ready for the game’s launch 🥺
(Maybe they will be ready by summer ? But it’s really just a wild guess here dont take my word for it please)
But yeah, now I’ll think you’ll have to learn more about Jason by discovering him (and the others) in game :D
———
Oui des events sont prévus (et Jason y a sa place aussi), mais ils ne seront pas disponibles immédiatement a la sortie du jeu car ils ne sont pas encore prets 🥺
(Peut être pour l’été ? Mais c’est vraiment au doigt mouillé comme on dit 😂 Ne prenez pas cette information trop au sérieux svp )
Hey there^^ I'm a huge fan of your games! I've even completed Eldarye twice. I'm incredibly excited about the New Generation, and I can't wait to dive into it. I have a question regarding one of the story paths. There have been rumors in the fandom that one of the paths might be paid. Could you please confirm if this is true?Thank you so much for creating such amazing games and bringing joy to all of us fans. Looking forward to your response! ^^
Hello !
Thanks a lot, I hope it will meet your expectations :D
Always so many rumors… 😅 Thank you for asking directly to clear things out !
Before anything, I'll just be honest and transparent. So please don't hate at me for just stating facts here : I think we can agree that almost all story based games lately do have some strict paying choices now. Even worse some games make you pay all the time for every single good answer. (And you can play for free only with the crappy ones, so never getting the good routes or pictures, and I personnaly hate that !)
So yeah every game company needs to be able to make a living out of their product, and this topic ended being a question on the table. Should we do like everyone else and make paywalled routes ?
The answer to your question is, NO. We decided it’s not what we want to propose to our players. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the game and so all routes are accessible for free, and you can still unlock the illustrations for free too. (with the good in game requirements as always)
The only thing we added in game which is new, and that can be considered "premium" are extended romance scenes that you can replay as much as you want from your gallery when unlocked. But please, also take note that all currencies in the game can still be obtained as a free player.
Hello Chino ☺️, how are you ? I was wondering how it was going with New Gen ? 🙊. The wait is literally killing me 😫. I can’t wait to play with Jason, who in my opinion is the new Lance 😏🙊
Hello ! It's been really a lot of work all these past monthes, and even more now that we are close to beta and release. I'm honestly exhausted 🫠 but I can't wait for you to try it though, and also getting a bit stressed about it too.
I think Jason is worth it, but you'll be judge of that :D However I think I mentionned it before already but MCL NewGen is really a "good vibes" type of story so even if Jason is the villain, he is clearly not a super dark evil one.
Hi Chino !! 😘
I just have one question, and honestly I don’t know if you can answer me but I hope so 🙈, I wanted to know if, in New Gen, Jason as a secret flirt will be present from the first episode or will know him later in the episodes ?. Thanks in advance if you will answer ❤️
Hello
Jason will appear in game at episode 02 😏
And don’t worry much, the game will launch with ep01 and ep02 !
After that, I managed to fit him somewhere in the plot for all episodes I've done so far.
Please also remember that because he is a secret/alternate route he has overall less screen time during episodes. But I hope it will be screen time that counts 😌
Hi! i wanted to ask a little question is the personality system something that came immediately when you were at early stage of creation with new Gen or you had also some others new system idea in mind that were scrapped until you found the one it have right now because you satisfied with ? I remember early on AS had a moral system that I found was interesting but was later scrapped (bcs not really used) and I remember people complaining about the moral system since it was restrictive for them
Hello ! It's a bit hard to answer this clearly, because at the end of the day I am always thinking about what to do on games. I mean that I just did not start thinking on what to do for NG the day the project officially started being worked on. I was thinking of various ideas and possibilities way before, on a larger scale. Even today I am still thinking of new projects or gameplays and mechanisms for the future. So I have a bunch of ideas I will discard, some keep in mind, some I'll think more about...
For personnalities, yes I've had the idea for a while now, but all ideas or concepts evolve from day one, up until release. In this case, we made the system simpler than I initially thought, mostly to not block or frustrate players in their game.
Back then, for moral I had just started working on the games industry and did not think it trough enough. It was more of a random idea just put there. In the end, moral was more of a malus, with no benefits for the player (basically with 0 moral you could not play and that was it ) which is not interesting. We never really used it in the episodes (except the very first ones ) and we just ended up removing it. I suppose today I would be able to think of something more useful and interesting with it (I hope) but the past is past and I like to keep going forward and try new things 😊
