#Narrative game

[norapotwora]

Some time ago I had the pleasure of working with jonoldblood /Oldblood Games on an amazing project. It was a wonderful collaboration - thanks Micah! - in which I was tasked in designing 15 rabbit characters for Moonbriar - a narrative-driven, dark fantasy visual novel.

Here are five of the characters: Piper, Aster, Sedge, Salvia and Sola.

It was a wonderful experience to be part of the team building a larger project of this kind. Character desing is definitely a field I'd like to explore more in the future.

Will you dare to take part in the adventure? You can follow and wishlish the game on Steam!

And here's the game I've been working on for Pirate Software's game jam!! :D

You work as a researcher for the mysterious Daedalus Laboratory. You send plants into different worlds to see how the worlds affecting them. However, recently you noticed that most of your coworkers have disappeared, including your lab supervisor.

Still, you have to keep working to prevent termination. Will you be able to balance work and communicating with the employees who remain?

[Warning: This game contains brief depictions of blood and gore. Viewer discretion is advised.]

This game is part of the Let Me Remind You series that I am working, which are games about art, nostalgia, guilt, and memory.

This game also features some new characters to the Let Me Remind You universe and...Zecharias in a new outfit? Hmm.

Due to the deadline, the game is a demo and has a few issues I need to fix. I will try to fix them in the next update. As it is, the game is completely playable, and I hope you will enjoy it. ^^

[doodlemancy]

just dropped a big update for Iron Company, my big WIP visual novel project. the current demo is the whole first chapter, about 2 hours' worth of story, and i think even in its unfinished state you will have a good time :)

At the climax of a desperate war for farmland, John Sykes and Petra Raskoph fought a duel to the death. Dragged away to safety by their comrades, both of them survived. A year after the end of the war, they meet again by chance; Sykes, directionless, depressed, and running low on cash, and Raskoph with a dangerous but lucrative job offer that neither of them can afford to turn down.

platforms: pc, mac, linux, playable in-browser on mobile genre: mid-apocalyptic / horror / comedy / fantasy / enemies-to-friends / found family is there gay stuff?: who do you think i am. (disregard previous sentence if you don't know who i am.) of course there's gonna be gay stuff!!

it's free on itch.io!!

New book is here! I'll have this book of 5 rituals for TTRPG, all based off pre-christian traditions in the British Isles, at Tabletop Scotland next weekend!

It's also up on my itch in digital form!

[velveteen-mango]

By the way! I wrote a fun lil narrative TTRPG game called the Emperor's procession, where you stitch together the story of a fearsome and magical emperor journeying through their land - from the point of view of their citizens who are all like fairytale protagonists in their own right.

Please have a look and if it suits you, I hope you give it a try!

Sometimes I wanna play a game but need something simple but interesting... So I wanted to share my favorite itch.io games (click the link if you don't wanna read the post, I'll update it as I play more!). Some of these games mean a lot to me and have helped me through rough spots. They're all free to play on your web browser <3

Good Morning! by cnnmon "A short morning routine simulator about starting your day right. Play through a few colorful minigames and puzzles until you're ready to take on the day."

Some scenes from Sapphire City Part 3. A 2D adventure game with RPG elements set in a dystopian future.

'In a yet unseen district of Sapphire City, a new character enters the fray, she has risked much to help the cause. Your actions will decide her fate, so choose your path carefully. As you go head to head with a titan of industry, the collateral damage begins to break the city apart. New and dangerous factions emerge seeking to capitalize on the chaos.

A sneak peek at Lydia's Labyrinth... Mwah Darlings!

It's day 2 of the Spooktober VN jam! Here's a quick image drop to show off the look we're going for in Lydia's Labyrinth!

As always, royalty free photos from pixabay are doing the heavy lifting for backgrounds and graphic design. I add a lot of colouring and effects to make it look more vampy.

I've also started the coding in Renpy and Robert is working on the writing, maze design and sound effects. So it's all go and I hope we can get this dangerous labyrinth finished!

Hope your all having a great Spooktober and keep healthy during the jam!
