Hello everyone. DinoMan here. There’s been a lot of stuff that’s been coming out regarding Rooster Teeth (the company that owns and creates RWBY), and their internal practices towards staff. It’s been rather shocking and heartbreaking, but ARC Alpha 12 and I made a statement about that on the game’s Discord server.
Short version: We’re not going anywhere, and we really appreciate you guys for playing our fan game. 🙂

Hello there, DinoMan here with a new public release for CBLT! This is it! We’ve finally gotten back to where we left off, and this release is going to be the last of the recoded versions – from here on out, it’s going to be nothing but brand new versions!
I give thanks to the entire dev team, who have been a big help in regards to the development of this update, as well as the betas who have been hard at work testing for bugs. A huge shoutout to my Patrons as well, who have been willing to help financially support the development of the game. And the biggest shoutout to everyone who’s followed me and the rest of the dev team throughout this journey – thanks for playing CBLT, and we hope you continue to enjoy it as we start delving into the storyline in 0.6 and beyond!
As always, don’t forget to give any feedback and report any bugs on:
For Windows Users – It’s suggested you install the Avenir Medium and the Avenir Edited fonts from the /fonts folder to prevent a possible bug when using the phone.
That said, without further ado, here are the links for RECODE version 0.5!
Week Four 85.714286% Complete – The adventures of Team CBLT continue! We see the aftermath of Cobalt upgrading his weapons, as well as the build up to one of the biggest events in the game thus far! We also have appearances from Mina, Aureum and Nora in this update!
Week One 90% Complete – Is it just me, or are studies at Beacon getting more intense? It could be because of the new academic timetable that’s been put into place at Beacon starting with this update, which means that most of the events from Week One have been pushed to the first Monday! In their place, a bunch of new interactions between the various members of CBLT have been written, as they begin to bond with each other while getting used to their… antics.
(Combat Scenes are still not written yet.)
Beacon’s Cafeteria is now Hiring! – Should you find yourself needing to make extra cash, you can take the opportunity to help Horatio Soplar in the kitchens of Beacon Academy, and help feed the ravenous hordes of students at dinner time! But be wary… this job is not for the faint-hearted.
New Backgrounds (Bunnyvoid) – Bunnyvoid continues to create amazing backgrounds for CBLT! She created a brand new… semi-new… repurposed classroom? gym for the students to go and get some exercise in… it’s also a good place for players to increase their fitness social stat. And they also have energy drinks too, like People Like Grapes soda, and Hetap!*
And we also have a brand new location – the Locker Room! This is seems to be a common area for students to first meet each other and make plans for initiation. Each student has been assigned one rocket-propelled locker to store their weapons and extra armor, and if necessary, boyfriends who they need to send to safety so they can go fight an impossible battle against a powerful opponent. …And suddenly, I feel like I’ve been shot through the heart by an arrow.*We actually don’t have Hetap in the game. Sorry.
New Music Pieces (PlotTwistStudios) – PlotTwist continues to make new music pieces for CBLT! Joining the CBLT Soundtrack this time are pieces such as “Dithering Sorrow” and “Unknown Familiarity.”
Coco Adel (New Character) – After introducing some original characters, it’s time to bring in some more of the RWBY stars. The first of which being the well-styled fashionista Coco Adel, leader of Team CFVY! And she won’t be alone either, as she’ll be joined by someone who will be appearing in CBLT as Miss Adel’s girlfriend…
Velvet Scarlatina (New Character) – Yep, the Aussie bun bun has come to Team CBLT! And you’ll be meeting both her and Coco in a spectacular – but painful, and embarrassing – fashion when Week 4 rolls around!
Shadow Blue (New Character) – Shadow is a professional Huntress, having graduated from Beacon a few years prior – and if the last name wasn’t a giveaway, she also happens to be Cobalt’s sister! But will she be reunited with her brother in this episode? And just what brings her to Beacon in the first place? Only Ozpin knows for sure…
Nurse Rain Bow (New Character) – Hello nurse! If any of the characters ever find themselves needing medical attention, they can go to the infirmary and seek out Beacon’s best nurse, the lovely (but shy) Rain Bow! Even if she’s only needed part of the time because of how aura works… ah well.
Cardin Winchester (New Character) – Welp. Beacon’s resident bully. Carries a big mace, likely to compensate for other shortcomings. Since we did some rewrites to Week One, and added a Locker Room, you can probably guess what he’s going to do next.
BlueFire’s One Year Anniversary Event (Writing + Art) – After one whole year of dating each other, Cobalt and Blaze are finally doing something to celebrate the occasion! This will be the biggest event ever, in terms of size and scale. You’ve not only got writing, but Amaco’s also put together two fabulous sprites of both of them dressed up!
That’s all for RECODE 0.5! If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out Rooster Teeth’s RWBY, at Roosterteeth.com/rwby.

For Windows Users – It’s suggested you install the Avenir Medium and the Avenir Edited fonts from the /fonts folder to prevent a possible bug when using the phone.
That said, without further ado, here are the links for RECODE version 0.4!
Week Three 85.714285714286% Complete – Cobalt’s quest to improve his capabilities in melee combat continues! Cobalt currently believes that having the axe and the gun separate is just fine for him, but will an encounter with the delectable Mina change his mind?
New Backgrounds (Bunnyvoid) – Bunnyvoid continues to create amazing backgrounds for CBLT! And now CBLT can go outside their dorms and explore new hallways, the balconies and rooftops of their dorm buildings, classrooms, the Mess Hall, the Amphitheatre…
And for the first time ever, WE HAVE PROPER LIBRARY BACKGROUNDS! This is something that we’ve been waiting literal years to get around to fixing, since all we had up until now was a screenshot from the show. WOO!
New Music Pieces (PlotTwistStudios) – PlotTwist continues to make new music pieces for CBLT! Joining the CBLT Soundtrack this time are pieces such as “Break Happy”, “A Two Three Battle”, “Fun Respite”, “Bouncing City Life”, “Snowy Memories”, “Tension Ahead of Schedule” and “Intensement!”
Scroll Update! – The functionality of the scroll has been expanded upon! You are now able to track your relationship progress with Teams CBLT, RWBY, JNPR and MAGI! Starting with this update, social stats have also been added to the game, and you will be able to track them through the scroll now. The last piece of added functionality in this update is the ‘Items’ menu, where you can see exactly how much Lien you’ve got in the game at any given moment!
DUST EXPERIMENTS! – For those players who are daring enough, you can now help Professor Peach with some more elaborate dust experiments! Just investigate the classrooms during the afternoons, any time after her first introduction. The potential rewards are great, but are they worth the risks? Or Goodwitch’s ire?
Help Bella! – And for those of you joining us from 0.3, you may remember how Isabella approached you asking for help with setting up something. Well, in this update, you can go find out exactly what that something is! You can go investigate at the classrooms during the night, but remember to bring a friend along! I don’t trust Bella with Cobalt’s fidelity.
Combat System! (Applicable to Blaze’s Spar Fight Pre-initiation) – The first fight featuring CBLT’s combat system has now been coded into the game! Start up a new save file for this one, because the fight in question is Blaze’s spar the day before initiation!
The combat system is choice-based, and the choices will be presented to you on a menu that gives you a handful of options, like blocking, attacking, or dodging. Each choice you make will start a unique sequence of events that play out like a story, the consequences of which will vary based on what you decide to do at each menu.
The new combat system does not involve any grinding or leveling up, meaning that you don’t have to spend hours in the gym increasing your combat skills!
Aureum Pendragon (New Character) – Aureum Pendragon, the heir to the Valean throne. Or… at least he would have been, if his grandfather hadn’t abdicated after the end of the Great War. But this knight in shining armour will be making his debut in this update, and just in time to lend Cobalt and Teal a hand with a history assignment.
Mina Seong Juhong (New Character) – Mina Juhong comes to Beacon Academy! She’s not only in the same year level as CBLT, but she’ll also be going up against their fearless leader in combat class. What happens next…. will not be revealed in these release notes. (The CBLT veterans should know how this fight goes down, though.
Garland Isley (New Character) – 0.4 isn’t just introducing Mina, but her remaining two teammates as well! The first to be introduced is Garland Isley! He’s a bit on the shorter side, much in the same way Neo is, but he has an incredibly cool hat. He doesn’t like ice cream though. No, his thing is plants, to the point where his semblance allows him to ‘plantbend.’
Irina Paletina (New Character) – Finally, to round off the unique team of MAGI is Garland’s new partner, Irina Paletina. Except… Irina doesn’t seem like she wants to be part of MAGI, much to the annoyance of Garland, Aureum and Mina. With Beacon so heavily focused around teams, how will they be able to solve this dilemma?
Horatio Soplar (New Character) – Two Cobalts!? Is Blaze dreaming? No, it just happens to be the leader of the second year team HRIS, Horatio Soplar! If you’re familiar with the fanfiction RWBY HEROES: A Double Edged Sword, then you’ll recognise Horatio as the protagonist from that series, and is written by the author himself, Dman! (DinoMan and Dman… the confusion continues!)
Read RWBY Heroes: A Double Edged Sword here!
Artemis Chrysanta (New Character) – Continuing the crossovers from SASI is Artemis! You can’t miss her, she’s the big redheaded Amazon who’s taller than Teal. Eight feet and one inch tall, in fact. And be warned, she has some serious ab work going on.
Rei Glacis (New Character) – Lastly, the final character being introduced through the main storyline in this update, much to Lilac’s horror, is Rei Glacis – a young woman who looks back on the glory days of the kingdom of Mantle… a little too fondly for the Atlesians’ tastes. And with her incredibly rare Mantalian uniform (inspired by the real life British Redcoats), she shouldn’t be too hard to miss.
Weiss Schnee (Updated Sprite) – Weiss has gotten a new sprite in this update, courtesy of Amaco as always!
WHO THE HECK DID GIVE US ALL THESE SPRITES!? (PSA) – In addition to the continually commissioned works created by Amaco, a new deal has been negotiated between myself and Meinos Kaen, from fellow RWBY fan-made visual novel JPDE. For those of you who may remember, drama between the two development teams two years ago had led to a parting of the ways, and Meinos had told the CBLT team that we could use the JPDE art assets as placeholders while we replace and recode the game to be completely separate from his game. Much more recently however, he and I managed to negotiate a new arrangement that allowed us to continue to use art assets from his game on a much more permanent basis, and vice versa.
What this means is that we have a much more expanded library of sprites and backgrounds to use for CBLT. However, this does NOT mean that JPDE OCs created by Meinos will be appearing in the game, such as David di Kabegis or the Boss, or that we will be following a similar storyline to JPDE. Fellow writer Arc Alpha 12 is already well into writing a unique plot for CBLT that follows the canonical RWBY timeline more closely, and you will be seeing that storyline beginning to take shape in Updates 0.6 and beyond.
That’s all for RECODE 0.4! If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out Rooster Teeth’s RWBY, at Roosterteeth.com/rwby.

That said, without further ado, here are the links for RECODE version 0.3!
Week Two 100% Complete – Classes continue! And in the aftermath of their spar with Team RWBY, Cobalt is starting to look around for melee weapons to ensure he has the best possible chance at winning future fights. But even with Ruby and Blaze willing to help, will he be able to find a weapon that works well with his fighting style?
Lilac’s 1st Route Event (Writing+Art) – You can once again go on your 1st route event with Lilac Silver! This includes the original CG Art Piece made by Keyliom!
New Music Pieces (PlotTwistStudios) Project Trinity has gone through a bit of a rebrand, and they are now referring to themselves as ‘PlotTwistStudios!’ And they’ve been continuing to replace the old JPDE tracks, with new tracks ‘On The Right Path’ and ‘Calm in Motion’ making their debut in the game!
Scroll Update: Call Blaze! – The first bit of functionality has been added to the scroll, and you’ll now be able to call Blaze from Cobalt’s scroll, even if it is just to say hi to her!
Aureum Pendragon (New Character) – Aureum Pendragon, the heir to the Valean throne. Or… at least he would have been, if his grandfather hadn’t abdicated after the end of the Great War. But this knight in shining armour will be making his debut in this update, and just in time to lend Cobalt and Teal a hand with a history assignment.
Siobhan Ceara (New Character) – Coming straight from the fanmade SASI visual novel is Siobhan, the Irish-accented team leader of Team SASI! A fiercely independent woman full of sass and charm, a superb dancer and violinist, and incredibly loyal to family and friends who have impressed her, this firecracker is one hell of a character to hang out with, as Cobalt will soon discover…
Isabella Zareen (New Character) – Also coming from SASI, Isabella is… certainly an interesting character, with a complicated history. For her, Beacon is very much a refuge from her past, even if she feels like it’s a temporary one. She’s also very flirty when she needs to get something from someone, which may or may not push her into conflict with the couples currently attending the Academy with her. Like Cobalt and Blaze…
I have a bad feeling about this.
That’s all for RECODE 0.3! If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out Rooster Teeth’s RWBY, at Roosterteeth.com/rwby.

A huge shoutout to my Patrons as well, who have been willing to help financially support the development of the game.
It’s been a while since I last posted an update for CBLT, for which I apologise. This past year has… more or less been plagued with mental health issues for me, and I had to take a hiatus while I focused on feeling better. However, I’m back now, and hopefully ready to start making CBLT again!
As always, don’t forget to give any feedback and report any bugs on:
That said, without further ado, here are the links for RECODE version 0.2!
Week One 90% Complete – The adventures of Team CBLT continue! Having survived Initiation, the team are ready for their first day of classes! They’ll be getting to know their new teachers, as well as more of their classmates… and as Beacon is a school for fighting monsters, they will need to keep their skills up – and who better to train against than the other first years?
(Combat Scenes are not yet Written.)
Schnee Dust Store Now Open For Business! This is intended to serve as a temporary replacement for From Dust Til Dawn, due to reconstructions taking place at the latter for a good while after the robbery taking place at the very start of Volume 1.
The Gym is open! And you won’t find just one person hanging around to train with. There are no skills for you to level up in at this moment in time, so the Gym is primarily a place to pass the time until further notice.
New Backgrounds (Bunnyvoid) – Our background artist has continued to provide us with shiny new backgrounds to replace the old JPDE ones – you’ll be exploring more of CBLT’s dorm room in this update, as well as get a sneak peek into the room of Team RWBY themselves! Don’t worry, the bunk beds only look unsafe.
New Music Pieces (ProjectTrinity) Our composer has made a lot of new music pieces for us since CBLT 0.1’s recode came out. We’ve got ‘A Revisited Place’, ‘An Average Day’, ‘Friends at a Gathering’, ‘Shootdown’, and ‘Return to the Palace’ replacing some of the old tracks that appeared in JPDE.
Scroll GUI (RabbitVI) Since 0.1, I’ve been working hard with one of our GUI Artists, RabbitVI, to make a brand new scroll that you will be able to interact with in the game! Nothing’s actually functional at this moment in time, but you’ll be able to explore the contacts list, as well as an exciting new feature…
BLAZE MODE!!! (Coming Soon) CBLT has always had two protagonists, but we’ve only been able to see the point of view for just one of them. With the upcoming Blaze Mode, you’ll be able to let Blaze Achen take over as the game’s player character and unlock exciting new opportunities for interactions! Nothing’s up and running yet, but switch over to her when you get the chance for a peek at her scroll customisations!
Weiss Schnee (New Character) – The heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss Schnee has made the surprising choice to study at Vale’s Hunstman Academy, instead of closer to home. While often referred to as ‘The Ice Queen’, and especially acting as one around her new team leader,her classmates may just be able to get her to reveal the good heart underneath…
Blake Belladonna (New Character) – Blake Belladonna… a quiet and mysterious girl of seemingly few words, Blake is likely to be found in the middle of a good book, quietly reading away regardless of who comes to interrupt her. One of the first things you’ll notice about Blake is the curious bow on her head. It goes great with her… pyjamas.
Jaune Arc (New Character) – With a name that’s short, sweet, and rolls off the tongue, Jaune Arc is… not quite what one would expect for the new leader of Team JNPR. He’s not exactly the most skilled on his team… or any of the teams… but he still managed to survive Beacon’s initiation and a Deathstalker! Only time will tell if he’ll be able to catch up to the rest of his team.
Nora Valkyrie (New Character) – Nora Valkyrie! Nora is the most energetic member of Team JNPR, and is certainly bright and bubbly too! Unfortunately for her team, she does not have much in the way of subtlety, and is constantly on the warpath for pancakes… and that’s quite possibly very literal, with how she once suggested breaking someone’s legs.
Pyrrha Nikos (New Character) – The Invincible Girl has come to Beacon! Tournament Winner Pyrrha Nikos is certainly a contender for the position of top fighter amongst the first years, and brings plenty of skill and experience to Team JNPR – a strong contrast to her partner, Jaune Arc. And yet… with fame like hers, will her classmates see the real person she is, or just the mighty warrior she has been through four regional Mistral tournaments?
Lie Ren (New Character) – JNPR is certainly full of contrasts, it seems. While Nora Valkyrie is loud, bubbly and energetic, Lie Ren is the opposite. He is very mellow, and like Blake Belladonna, seems to wish for peace and quiet. Surprising, considering how he’s been joined at the hip with Nora for years without ever being bothered by her happy-go-lucky personality. But yet, he has a great amount of patience for the childhood friend he’s been together with for years. But not… together-together… I think…
Professor Port (New Character) – Peter Port is the professor who will be teaching the First Years of Beacon Academy all about the monsters they’ll be fighting – the Creature of Grimm. His classes aren’t exactly the most engaging of lessons, with each one being full of stories that seem nigh impossible and is just too… elaborately worded.
Doctor Oobleck (New Character) – Bartholomew Oobleck. Possibly the fastest talker in the entirety of Remnant, and that may be because of the coffee he always seems to have with him wherever he goes. The Doctor who will be teaching the students of Beacon all about Remnant’s history is a man who is difficult to keep up with, and the class will need to pick up fast writing skills if they want to be able to take down notes on half the things he says.
Professor Peach (New Character) – Amanita Peach. The woman who will be teaching Beacon Academy all about dust – when she isn’t too absorbed in her own personal experiments to remember to teach the class, that is. With her leading the class, CBLT’s studies will definitely be interesting… but hopefully nobody sneezes when working with dust and accidentally sets off an explosion – like Ruby did. 😛Kyrus Lowën – He’s not there? Blast it, who’s going to be taking up the Aura classes until he turns up?Taiyang Xiao Long (New Character) – With the usual aura professor not able to reach Beacon Academy in time, the class will be taught by a substitute teacher that they’ve brought in from Signal Academy: Taiyang Xiao Long. An experienced member of the former Team STRQ, Taiyang will certainly have much to impart until Professor Lowën finally turns up… if he ever does. One cannot help but wonder though… is he related to Yang Xiao Long?
That’s all for RECODE 0.2! If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out Rooster Teeth’s RWBY, on Rooster Teeth.

Hello there, DinoMan here with a new public release for CBLT! I give thanks to Arc Alpha 12, Keoki, Tsu, ChocolateBunny, and Meinos Kaen, who have been of big help in regards to the development of this update, as well as the betas who have been hard at work testing for bugs. A huge shoutout to my Patrons as well, who have been willing to help financially support the development of the game. I also give thanks to Amaco and Keyliom, who have contributed two brilliant CG pieces to this update.
We also have a new developer joining the team this month: Project Trinity, JPDE’s composer! He’s already been hard at work developing two tracks that make their debut in CBLT 0.5! And there are more tracks on the way!
As always, don’t forget to give any feedback and report any bugs on:
That said, without further ado, here are the links for version 0.5!
Week Four 42.857143% Complete – The adventures of Team CBLT continue! We see the aftermath of Cobalt upgrading his weapons, as well as the build up to one of the biggest events in the game thus far! We also have appearances from Mina, Aureum and Nora in this update!
Coco Adel (New Character) – After introducing some original characters, it’s time to bring in some more of the RWBY stars. The first of which being the well-styled fashionista Coco Adel, leader of Team CFVY! And she won’t be alone either, as she’ll be joined by someone who will be appearing in CBLT as Miss Adel’s girlfriend…
Velvet Scarlatina (New Character) – Yep, the Aussie bun bun has come to Team CBLT! And you’ll be meeting both her and Coco in a spectacular – but painful, and embarrasing – fashion when Week 4 rolls around!
Ruby Rose (Updated Sprite) – Ruby’s gotten a new sprite in this update, courtesy of Amaco as always!
Ruby’s 1st Route Event (Writing+Art) – You can now go on your 1st route event with Lilac Silver! This includes a CG Art Piece by Keyliom!
BlueFire’s One Year Anniversary Event (Writng+Art+Music) – After one whole year of dating each other, Cobalt and Blaze are finally doing something to celebrate the occasion! This will be the biggest event ever, in terms of size and scale. You’ve not only got writing, but Amaco’s also put together two fabulous sprites of both of them dressed up, and Project Trinity has also composed a brand new music piece for the event!
New Main Menu Music – In addition to the pre-existing RWBY supercover I made back when I released 0.2, Project Trinity has also created a new piece! (Funny story, but this one he actually gave to me for free, since it was based off the last notes of my BlueFire commission, and was unrequested music/minutes.)
That’s all for 0.5! If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out Meinos Kaen’s PROJECT JPDE!
Okay, now Apple’s doing some stuff I don’t like.
The newest version of macOS, 10.15 Catalina, will require games to be notarized by Apple before running.
renpytom
Basically, notarization is a system where you submit your app to Apple, and they check that it is properly signed, then scan it for malware and other problems. If your app passes their checks, they send you a certificate that verifies your app has been scanned. You can then attach this certificate to the application (a process called ‘stapling’), and them distribute the app to end users.
In the latest versions of macOS, signed apps will be checked for the presence of this stapled certificate. If it is present, the application will be allowed to run, and if not, the application will be rejected.
I’m gonna be honest here, I’ve been reading into how to get CBLT notarized thanks to an article written by Ren’py’s own developer, and it’s not going to be easy for me to get it done. Or freely. I don’t have a mac, nor a Apple Developer program subscription (which costs money.)
I can post how to do an unofficial workaround, but I will have to officially call an end to CBLT being playable on Mac. I’m deeply sorry everyone. You should still be able to play on PC though. Maybe Android, if the build goes through. But that’s been a pain for me and Meinos both recently. We got too big for our britches. “
Hello again, all! It’s time for the next CBLT Sprite Poll! Many of the nominations from last time are (unfortunately) once again options which you can vote for this time, and there are also some brand new OCs that you can vote for! As per usual, I’ve put the bios for the new OCs at the bottom of the post.
In addition, many of the RWBY nominations in this poll have the potential to appear in JPDE as well. Although I cannot confirm that the… more risque alts will be able to appear if they get voted in. I’ll have to ask Meinos about that.
Cyrus Cordovan:
A second-year student shrouded in mystery, Cyrus is the sly leader of team COPR. With a combination of speed, reflexes, and a seemingly never-ending supply of tricks up his sleeve, he’s established himself as a master of both stealth and deception.
Iridis Heath:
Iridis is a survivor, having been forced to do so from an early age. Her past is a mysterious and yet dark one, yet she has quite a mischievous streak, and is a temptress with a heart hidden under the games and riddles that even she doesn’t get half the time.
For those of you that have scrolled down this far, you get one more sneak peak for Ruby’s first date. Congratulations!

That said, without further ado, here are the links for version 0.4!
Week Three 28.571428571% Complete – Cobalt’s quest to improve his capabilities in melee combat continues! Cobalt currently believes that having the axe and the gun separate is just fine for him, but will an encounter with the delectable Mina change his mind?
Week Two Revisions – 71.428571429% Complete – Certain developments since 0.3 have resulted in me having to part ways with some of the OC team due to creative differences. This does mean that certain characters introduced then have been dropped, but you may find yourself meeting all new ones during that time, such as…
Aureum Pendragon (New Character) – The would-be Prince of Vale enters the game! Will CBLT get along with him, or will one of them royally screw up somehow? Nobody knows but me! (…..And the other devs. And the betas. And the Patrons.)
Mina Juhong Seyong (New Character) – In CBLT’s first, but not the last, crossover with Arc Alpha 12’s Ivory Tower, Mina Seyong comes to Beacon Academy! She’s not only in the same year level as CBLT, but she’ll also be going up against their fearless leader in combat class. What happens next…. will not be revealed in these release notes.
Lilac’s 1st Route Event (Writing+Art) – You can now go on your 1st route event with Lilac Silver! This includes a CG Art Piece by Keyliom!
Code Revisions – Certain improvements have been made behind the scenes. You’ll get to see what those are, but as a separate download. (Wink.)
That’s all for 0.4! If you haven’t already, I encourage you to check out Meinos Kaen’s PROJECT JPDE!
Hello again, from DinoMan! It’s a short post, but I just wanted to let you guys know that we’ll be doing another CBLT panel very soon!
We’ll be hosting it on Twitch, at 11:00 AM Australian Eastern Standard Time, and we’ll be showing off things like sprites, backgrounds, news, and a roadmap for the rest of 2022! I hope to see you then!
Hello again! DinoMan here! I hope everyone’s enjoying CBLT 0.4 so far! I became aware of some bugs that popped up in the game’s code while you guys were playing, and wanted to provide a short term fix to the solution.

Hello again, from DinoMan! It’s… been some time since I’ve posted in here. But for those of you who haven’t been in the loop regarding everything that happened in 2020 (and to be fair, there was a lot), hopefully I can bring you guys up to speed.
Things happened between the CBLT and JPDE dev teams. I’m not going to get into the full details, but the short version is that we’re trying to go our separate ways, with CBLT looking to become its own game.
What this means is that we’ve spent the past year trying to recode the game entirely from scratch, while slowly replacing assets one at a time. It meant for a tough time for me, especially when in the middle of a pandemic. It wasn’t my best year, and I had to take a lot of time off for the sake of my mental health. We were continuing to replace art assets, but things were constantly evolving on that front too.
But, I’m slowly making progress on working my way back up to regular CBLT releases. We’re just about to release a recoded version of CBLT 0.2, completely from the ground up. This means that all saves from past versions up to 0.5 won’t be applicable to this new version. You will have to start all over again, but we’re also slowly working on a new combat system. We’re still in the planning versions for that, but hopefully we’ll be able to get out a prototype example for you soon. 🙂
Fair warning, you will find that a lot of content from the game is still using the old JPDE assets. We’re working to replace those, and Meinos has allowed me to use them as placeholders until we’re able to get all the new stuff we need. Which, considering our smaller budget, is going to take time. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you’re wondering why there’s still JPDE stuff in the game.
To those who have loved CBLT so far, I thank you for your patience during my hiatus, and hopefully we’ll be able to continue with our regular updates now.
Hello Lovelies ~ Kyrus Löwen, here to announce the start of the final round. We seem to have two rather difficult choices this time around.
Who will earn your favour? The Dust Professor who’s too hot to handle but too fine to decline. Or Everyone’s favourite Kitty Ninja of Love.
Oh! I almost forgot. A reminder of the rules: each round only remains open 24 hours and this one closes at 11:30AM 13th of February, Australian time.
This post has been a teaser of Kyrus Löwen’s debut in CBLT 0.6. – DinoMan21779
And so begins Round Two! (And yet another route poll where Jaune doesn’t make it past the first round…) A quick reminder of the rules: each round only remains open 24 hours and this one closes at 9:30PM 10th of February, Australian time.
