#mars (vollema)

A random assortment of major characters from my current project! Can't show off everyone because spoilers, but you'll see them when you see them.

[obligatory demo link here]

Here's some of my concept art and sketches for the Vollema demo (which you can check out on Steam right now) and the first area of the full game. Some of these (like the enemy designs) were actually from at least a few months before I even started development, when i was just playing around with potential creature designs for stuff.

I also found everybody's terrifying original dialogue portrait sketches, which I'd long since forgotten about.

There's more for every section of the game, but since the vast majority of them contain story and character spoilers, I'll hold off on posting most of them until after the full game is out and people have had a chance to play it.

hello i played the demo and idk i mean ive been following vollema for a while bc ueah and i just wanted to gush OMG AODASDF like in the gifs and screenshots it looks beautiful but in game holy woaw like its stunning its holy also wowoow also non assigned seating person omg me

also the music wowowowowow mars' battle theme HOLY WOWOWOWO reset after i beat it and played through again until mars just to have it playing again

also the bed in the opening surveillance cutscene got animal crossing frog chair and something else vibes idkrember what though but is cute

and the battle fade in splotchy thing is so pretty too and enemy chase is earthboundy i love love love omg in battle the woobly doobly im just assuming earthbound inspiration either way whatever its so COOL you know what plus the absurdity of enemies im sorry if its not ewarhtbound inspired but i now declare it is

THE CHARACTER PORTRAItS OMG MARS AND SAFFRON THEYRE BOTH SO COOOL also i cannot stress enough how much i love mars' battle theme holy (i am also humming his battle theme) also the in battle mini-er people slight simplified

ngl was kinda apprehensive about it bc like the art is amazing but in my head i was like what if i dont like to actually play it but now i did and now im way more excited for full release genuinely like i was also surprised at how satisfying the combat(?) was like idk maybe its like a tired phrase to say its like "simple but satisfying" but like that in a good way it was like mind flooding but then once i got ion the groove it was like hell yeah and then if i failed one its mind flood central again ayayY

sorry rambly but HOLY WOWOWOW genuinely really enjoyed it also mars battle theme is so good

2 screenshots i love below

when this was typing this in your ask box i realised that this was your header lmao (i slipped him the money)

Hey guess what a brand new demo for Vollema is going to be available for Steam's upcoming Next Fest.

If you're into weird little hand-drawn story-driven RPG-type games with unique combat mechanics, this one might be for you!

Check it out on June 10!
