Hi everybody! This is not strictly related to the main game, but I wanted to let you know!
Short trivia first: 

1. I updated the game page. The Otome April Fools is not a secret anymore, if you want to try it it has a permanent link on the page. Same goes for the Emerald Beedrill version of this year. The anniversary specials are there too but you still have to solve them eheh!
2. Emerald Wasp received a fanfiction! So I linked it and the category on the main page. I'm a dinosaur and probably too old to know how the site works, but I remember having players ask when a fanfiction section would be created. And now it's here!
3. And now the heart of the devlog... the Luoghi del Cuore!
Brace yourself, this is looooong!

Places of Heart

One month and a half ago I made a blog post about the real place that inspired the bunker in the game, Palazzo Trifiletti, and the petition to save it. The contest ended and, while the palace didn't earn the restoration prize, it scored unbelievably high for an unknown palace in an unknown city... and this is thanks to your help ;w; 
I can't thank you enough for this!

Seeing much love from all over the world for the palace was heartwarming for me.  
Afterall, even though the palace isn't mine, my family had a little history in it. My great grandfather was saddened to see, bit by bit, the places he worked at disappear so I  wanted to keep them alive someway... in my case it was in a game, but given the opportunity to do something to restore the real deal I decided to step in.  Anonymously, because I prefer doing good deeds like this.  I just wanted to help the palace and not, instead, draw attention to my games.  

But I asked you to let me know, if you wanted to, that you voted because I wanted to do something more than write a "thank you" on the board and... so, for those who might read from here but still don't know, the April Fools minigame of this year has a easter egg for those who voted and told me, I hope it's ok! There's one more person who voted but it since it was after I finished the minigame I'm still working on a little something for you eheh.

Anyway, I know everything you post on the internet stays forever, so I'm wondering if I should keep all this devlogs and messages about Palazzo Trifiletti and, maybe, include them into the game or not. Or delete everything after, like I wanted to do at the start, so this would be like a little secret among me and who read the blog posts between March and May 2025. 

Grazie a tutti di cuore!
