Shows a slender male character in a heavily stylized anime art style on a grayish background, wearing a long brown coat with golden ornaments and long fur around his neck. He has a skeletal, robotic-looking neck, red glowing eyes, and a doll like wind-up key in his back. A folded blade extends from one of his mechanical arms, and in his other mechanical hand he holds a scythe-like weapon with saw-like teeth and bandages wrapped around it.

Concept art for Victor an ex-general who lost most of his original body while in enemy captivity and was reconstructed as an almost fully mechanical automaton. He’ll be one of the hireable mercenaries and if everything goes well one of the romanceable characters in my little game

My little game comes with two visual styles. It has honestly meant double the work for me as a small dev but also double the fun, even if it’s a bit more time-consuming. πŸ˜…

As always I hope you’re doing well and thanks again to everyone for your warm and kind comments! πŸ’–πŸ˜­

A closer look at Zain’s beast form model (chibi form). I’m not sure I’m fully pulling it off yet 😭 but my goal has always been to create a story driven RPG with cozy life and dating-sim elements, plus darker undertones for a bit of contrast which in my opinion can be a funny contrast.

In my little game, an infectious curse spreads through the land, slowly turning people into beasts. After countless failed attempts to cure it, he found a temporary way to control it, at a cost. Still, he chose to embrace it for the greater good. πŸ˜ŠπŸ’–

Hey Granola, that’s understandable. I’ve lowered the server’s security level. I hope it works now, but if not, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

I took again a bit longer, but as I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve now created a new Discord server for my projects. It’s still pretty empty πŸ˜…, but I’m currently working on restoring everything the old server had. 😊 πŸ’™

After years of ups & downs, my previous passion project Liquidation, a multiplayer RTS now under new leadership is finally seeing the light of day! I’m so glad the time and effort I poured into this little love letter to the RTS genre wasn’t in vain. πŸ˜­πŸ’™

Sorry for the late reply. πŸ™‡ I have a feeling it might be difficult to achieve now, especially because of my radio silence and the longer development cycle caused by my illness. But I’m currently in talks with a publisher who might be willing to support me with the current state of the project.

As for your question, older female characters (30+ years) who are romanceable are already part of the game, but they weren’t mentioned on the website due to story-related spoilers.
