Shizuo's Part 3 Download
Shizuo part 3 is finally here!
Per usual, the password is "Pudding". The guide for his part 3 is also in the description of the download page on Itch.io.
We hope you enjoy Shizuo's part 3!
This is to the same tune of Arabella's colour being light pink, but MC's colour is definitely pastel blue in my head. Yes I know there are canon characters with blue as their thing, but pastel blue on MC looks so good! Sure, I permit the occasional divergence kinda like how Arabella can go for simple black and white and still work. Pastel blue just translates to MC for me.
Got paper lately. Wanna draw OC's and canon character's in cozy little places.
Have another pic. AU making go "BRRRR"
From left to right its Namie, Nec, MC, Harper, Arabella and Mikage. Of course Izaya is in the middle.
I went to see Six the musical recently, and it gave me the idea to make an AU for Drrr!! I had to include characters from Ikebukuro Records to have all six queens but at least they all fit. If I went with canon characters the options were either not fitting, boring, or underage. Anyway. I like it. Is it normal to want to write fanfics for your own stuff?
(I encourage people to reblog my work because I'm going through a glitch where tumblr is making me get blocked by people I don't even know. It's rather annoying and hindering so it would be really helpful)
Updates and Responses to Feedback:
Hi all. Due to talking to some of you we thought it would be best to inform you of some changes we've made to the game since the demo was released. Most of these we had done so earlier, however after recieving feedback, we thought that this might be important
First change:
MC's new character design.
Many of you stated that in the demo, MC looked too short and young, and that it made a lot of you uncomfortable. We heard this and made the appropriate changes and the results are what you see in the above sketch. We made her chest more prominent and she should be taller--around the same height as Arabella and Anri. When we get a digital artist for the sprites, we'll make sure that she translates better to digital form. Previously, we had in story reason for her youthful appearance, but in the end both madhousefruitcake and I agreed it was too extreme, and so did some updates accordingly.
Related to this, we heard feedback stating that some of you have felt discomfort playing this game due to the MC's feminine appearance and pronouns, and that it has caused you dysphoria. We are dreadfully sorry about this, however due to technical reasons, we can't provide the players with a gender selection. The game is incredibly long, with over 30 character sprites. That's not taking into account the expressions each of those characters would have within the game. So we hope that you can understand the need to restrict ourselves to one gender. The reason we chose female and not gender neutral is both due to plot and game genre. Traditionally, otome games are made for girls, so we thought it would be wise to stick to the demographic we were aiming for. If this effects you and you still want to play the game, we consider viewing the MC as separate from you (I know I know, that kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it). If not, we completely understand not wanting to, and thank you for playing anyway.
The other change:
Since the demo was released last year, we have gone back and edited a lot of the scenes and dialogue. The specific example we're talking about today are the "I'm straight lines". When we looked back, myself and madhousefruitcake agreed and thought that multiple characters commenting on how straight they were was really stupid, clunky and unnatural, so we have since changed it. However, as of recently we have been made aware of just how glaring the lines were to some of you and we felt the need to update everyone on these changes. The mistake was made thanks to a slip in the editing and more than one script writer. We will try to avoid something like this happening again. With the exceptions of a few, most of the characters sexualities would be more ambiguous or unmentioned for now on. For the most part, our aim is to get the most accurate depiction of the series we can get through lots of reading and research, in order for the player to feel like they're actually taking part in the world of durarara. Any mentions of sexuality for now on would be either for plot reasons, or because the dialogue naturally fell a certain way.
We hope that these issues didn't turn any of you off Ikebukuro Records, but if they have, hopefully this new information will spark your interest in it again. Please let us know of more feedback you have, and feel free to ask questions.
Please consider donating to our ko-fi so that we may someday afford all the required digital artists. I'll leave the link at the bottom of this post. We will give you more art and script updates as development and donations continue. Thank you for your time.

Happy Birthday to Anri, the Spooky Baby!
I would draw some art but I’ve been a bit shaken by something, and it’s rather late.
But imagine Anri celebrating her birthday with MC and Arabella (cause she needs some female friends her age, and groping without consent isn't a very friendly thing to do, ERIKA). Imagine Mikado and Masaomi agreeing to hang together and leave them be so that they could have girls night. Imagine them mixing Halloween and birthday traditions together, like dressing up in cutesy outfits, or playing fortune telling games. Imagine them eating ALL the sweets and watching late night movies. Just imagine them being cute, wholesome group of friends.
Phew, I feel better now.
Looks like that will be the end of my attempt to celebrate Halloween drrr!! style.
Please remember to check out the dating sim demo we made on the madhousefruitcake blog, and again feel free to spread the word. You can do that by reblogging the link, doing fanart, memes, or sending asks.
Happy Halloween
MockNerd~

Izaya: Namie you aren't playing eit-- >gets pushed out the window<
>Izaya was ejected<
So last week I had a post where I briefly mentioned I might do Ikebukuro Records art or something for the week of Halloween...the chances of that have slimmed. Normally my college has something called a reading week, where everyone gets little to no additional work to catch up on reading assignments and such as well as no classes. However, this year that doesn't seem to be the case, because the college year started late in order for new students to prepare for entry, due to postponed entry exams. So now to catch up, we don't have Halloween off, and we're getting off Christmas late. I have a lot of things to complain about but it's probably best I don't do that, but in conclusion I probably can't do anything special for the holiday. I will try to scrounge up some old drawings I might have lying around but don't expect anything of high quality. People are free to draw their own art or write or ask anything if they wish, but I'll be busy drowning in literature.
Sooooo... fuck Covid19
Bye!
Ok so that didn't work. I would draw some stuff anyway but it is midnight again, very late, and along with other things. Posting or drawing something would not be wise right now and I have a schedule to go back to. Ikebukuro Records birthday celebration, canceled. Still feel free to post any fanart, reviews, jokes or just spread the word. It's just that my free time is limited. Education is holding me hostage.
COMMENCE CELEBRATION OF BIRTH
Hey guys! It just struck midnight! And for me that means my teen years are officially behind me (please help I'm not ready to adult). So to celebrate, it would be really cool if people could spread the word about Ikebukuro Records, the Drrr!! Dating Simulator Demo. Feel free to send asks, draw fanart, do reviews, post jokes, and I might post some art if I feel like it ✌😋 (no stories though. College work says no)
