October 2026 Update - Events Recap + Art Progress

Hi, everyone!

Apologies for the late October update.

Last month, we were busy attending two physical events in Indonesia- COMIPARA (Comic Paradise) in Jogjakarta, and IGDX (Indonesia Game Developer Exchange) in Bali!

But fear not! For those of you who fear missing out, here are pictures of our fun times in Jogjakarta and Bali!

COMIPARA, Jogjakarta

Started the day with a team bonding session (drinking Tolak Angin (a popular Indonesian herbal drink) together), and ended with a nice team dinner!!

I FINALLY had the opportunity to meet azureXtwilight, a fellow visual novel developer, MY ROLE MODEL, AND SENPAI- I still can't believe she came all the way to the event and talk to me! A dream come true indeed! 🥺

I also met Bits of Love's developer, Kejora's developer, loyal Jest Messters players, and many talented local artists!

It was also my first time meeting Mijil, our talented composer for Jest Messters and Re:Curse! This is him shyly posing with Neim XD

We also had a surprise visit from our Re:Curse artist, Konayachi, at the very end of the busy period! So... Officially, the Re:Curse team have all met each other, and our friendship points have increased! 💯 (... Or decreased because Mijil seems annoyed at our dad jokes)

IGDX, Bali

Unlike COMIPARA, IGDX is a B2B event, which also comes under Bali Tech Week!

We had fun connecting with each and everyone of you! Happy to see so many local developers and creatives in one place! It was lovely to have the opportunity to talk to everyone! 💕✨

Development Update

Some of you may know that we have another visual novel, Re:Curse, which has a launch date of 12 Jan 2027, with a fanart event and beta testing coming soon. I'm focusing on writing and programming Re:Curse first, but that doesn't mean Jest Messters' development is stalled!

Our artist, April, has finished sketching and outlining a few upcoming CGs!

Here are some sneak peeks~

I'm afraid we can't show anymore than that due to spoilers, but rest assured that we're still working hard on it!

Oh yeah, our next physical event is at Chibicon, Surabaya, so feel free to visit us if you're around the area!

Halloween Art!

Here's a Halloween art of Seth!! 🎃👻

Is he a vampire 🧛? A werewolf 🐺? Or your biggest nightmare? 🌚

17th October is our favourite pink-haired charmer's birthday! 💗

Here's a Phoenix art by mrswin_ (https://www.instagram.com/mrswrin/) ! Isn't he gorgeous?

Thank you once again for your patience and encouragement~ Hope you have an amazing month and see you next update!

Cheers,
