Honor Bound is coming late 2024!

As ever it’s not completely solidly set in stone, so the official message is that Honor Bound’s coming late this year… but Steam currently has the release listed for 5th December, so keep an eye out - and please wishlist so you're the first to know when Honor Bound is ready to play!

Not too much longer to go!

-

You’re a promising officer in the Teranese military, a force which has not seen major engagement in decades but which holds vast influence. Thanks to an injury, you’re no longer in the field. Thanks to the… complicated circumstances of that injury, you’ve been quietly reassigned.

Now you’re to be the bodyguard to the child of a famous scientist who is attending a wilderness boarding school for the children of the richest and most powerful figures of Teran society.

According to your mentor, it’s an easy assignment. The school sits close to your own hometown, so you’ll be familiar with the area; you can recover your health and get your career back on track. What could go wrong?

Bond with those around you or impress with aloof competence. Be a kind, trusted confidante to your charge, or a strict, stern caretaker. Work hard for glowing reports from your charge, your military superiors, or the Headteacher to get your life back on track - or risk it all as you uncover secrets that put you and everyone around you in peril.

TFS: Book One Achievement and Stat Guide 🏆📊

Thank you for your support and reblogs of this post are appreciated! 😊

The Fernweh Saga: Book One is a 600,000-word interactive, romantic thriller novel by Aelsa Trevelyan. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Return to a small town that you now feel a stranger in. It has been years since you were sent away following the tragic house fire that claimed your parents' lives, but the death of your grandfather has brought you back. While grim circumstances overshadow the visit you never planned on making, there are also opportunities to reminisce, reconnect, and reunite with old childhood friends, rivals, and neighbors. Familiar faces are all around, but will they aid or hinder you as your return trip spirals into a dark mystery and you start experiencing vivid nightmares? Begin to unravel what is going on in this seemingly idyllic, forested town.

A feeling of unease grows with each sleepless night spent within Fernweh's borders, but you can't leave yet…

It won't let you.

Play as male, female, or non-binary–with options to be gay, straight, bi, asexual, or poly.

Develop the beginning of a unique and enduring romance with 5 potential love interests.

Influence relationship dynamics with a cast of characters from your past and present.

Experience how your personality, habits, decisions, and relationships impact your visit to Fernweh and how you confront what lurks within the town.

Discover that things aren't always what they seem by making connections and noticing links.

Fight, resist, flee, struggle, or give in to whatever is invading your nightmares and the town; there is more to it than a boring ole monster…Much more.

Fall in love, forge friendships, and uncover your past while spiraling into a mystery.

Reblogs of this post and spreading the good news are immensely appreciated. I'm grateful for all of your support, and I hope you have fun in Fernweh! 🌲💚

me at any non- romanceable NPCS that I like: If they didn't want me to romance them. Why make them hot?

NonPlatonic Forms is an 18+ Horror Romance Visual Novel about a stubborn man who finds himself locked into a desperate game with a dying god. Will the dread deity scoop out Lee's free will, and make the human into a sycophantic member of his eternal audience? Will Lee emerge victorious and slay the god? Or will they, you know... …kiss?

Play the free demo over on itchio!

You can also support me there to get an early access build, or back me on patreon to help fund development of the game and test fresh builds before anyone else!

I am gonna rant for a bit here about ‘The Thunderstorm Saga,’ a new story on Romance Club. And before anyone says it, yes, I understand that I can always read other stories and that some stories on RC don't have BIPOC MCs--I just really wanted to dive into this one with a Black MC lol. I would love to hear other BIPOC players thoughts on the character design as well, which is why i am posting this here. well, that and because the reddit page won't let me post it there lolz.

As a Black person who plays these games, whether on Choices, Chapters, or LITG, I can’t help but notice when the ball is dropped in terms of character representation. Since I have yet to get past choosing my MC, you could attribute it to the genre—sure, fantasy often lacks non-white characters—but Time Catcher does exist and offers pretty decent Black and POC MC options. So, I don’t know, I just feel kind of disappointed because RC has had some of the best BIPOC MC representation by far compared to other apps. It just rubs me the wrong way that these are the options available now when they were doing SO well, in my opinion.

I LOVE dating sims but I can't deal with the embarrassment, but also, why is it me?? I don't wanna be involved, I want to see ships, but I can't be picky!! Like why can't I just find a hero x villain dating sims where I'm not involved?? And when I mean hero x villain, I mean cartoonish! Kids tv show kinda hero and villain, because I can! Like stereotypical hero with "underwear" over pants and a mask and a stereotypical villain. But NOO I can't have fun and whimsy!!

Honor Bound beta testing has begun!

Drumroll... it's that time... time for beta testing!

For almost a week, I've been going through feedback from six randomised playthroughs from continuity readers, fixing many typos and sorting out little (and medium-sized) errors. And now the full game is ready for private testing!

If you'd like, you can sign up to test the whole game here.

In the meantime: I've taken down the Chapter 1-7 public demo, and have put up an up-to-date Chapter 1-3 demo. Because the current version isn't compatible with Dashingdon, it's only available to play from the above link on itchio - the Dashingdon page links to the itchio game. During beta testing, I'll do my best to keep the public demo updated.

For Sneak Preview Patreon subscribers, I've left up the early access Chapter 1-7 to play before release (this version is somewhat out of date, but I figure if you would like an Honor Bound fix in the meantime it will be a little preview of what's to come later). I'm not sure when that will come down, but it will be up at least until the end of beta testing. Sneak Preview subscribers can go to this post to get the link.

I'm going to be saying this a lot, but I'm so grateful for your feedback, cheerleading, and support while making this game. Thank you so much.

Oh Gosh I've Released A Lot Of Games This Year & Other Thoughts by Taylor Navarro

We're just over half way through February and I've released two new games, "re-released" a game, and I've been actively promoting my Kickstarter for about a week now. That's a lot of work! So let's elevator pitch my TTRPGs because I'm very proud of them all :D

Chefs de Partie

Need a breather from your RPG campaign? Make your characters cook together using this cosy one page minigame! (Examples of how to integrate with other TTRPGs included). Grab it on DriveThruRPG for $4.95 (options for 50% and 100% off available).

Constellation Crafting: Chaos Mode

Someone can't make it to session? Doing some worldbuilding? Want an RP warm up? Make your own zodiac in less than 15 minutes in this chaotic one-page dice-rolling game for 1-9 players! Grab it on itch.io here for $2 (free community copies available).

Dice of Life

This one-page TTRPG is an emotionally heavy exploration of parenthood, isolation, and the crushing, repetitive nature of too many pulls on your attention. Get it for Pay What You Want on itch.io.

Not Yet

Not Yet is a romantic duet TTRPG based on the "just missed them" and "right person, wrong time" tropes where you and your partner attempt to defy the odds to meet one another. This will be my first ever Kickstarter (and game with physical copies!) so if you liked the yellow umbrella saga of How I Met Your Mother, please sign up to the pre-launch page so you're notified when crowdfunding goes live!

Would Mal say yes if the MC proposed to them 👀

A most intriguing question, Anon. 👀

_ _ _

Before you can even take out the ring box, get down on one knee, or shift closer to Mal for a romantic handhold, they're smiling a little more widely at you. There is more tenderness beneath that ineffable knowing quality that you've grown to accept. It's enough to make you pause, blinking for a second when they take out their own ring box—no, wait, that's yours. Your hand flies to your pocket, patting its newfound emptiness while you balk at your mysteriously hot beloved.

"I know we'll be together forever," Mal confidently concludes. "But you're welcome to put a ring on it if I can leave my own claim on you."

You're still a little stunned by this turn of events; however, Mal's hand finds yours to create an unyielding yet certain hold. They won't let go.

They won't let you go.

(To read Mal's full response, go: here. It's public on my Patreon. 🌲)
