Some new creatures I designed for Glassbound, and why I’m not using AI art in my game. During my Baldur’s Village mod days, I spent a year drawing all the art myself in my spare time. Now I’m working on Glassbound, a desktop idle game about raising otherworldly creatures. These fluffy little ones are the first group players can summon. When I started, I did question whether hand-drawing everything was too slow. With all the AI pixel art online this year, what once took me a year could probably be done in under two months now. But pixel art can easily become formulaic. Consistency and visual identity aren’t just about generating a lot of images. For now, I’d rather take the slower path and make the work feel intentional. I also just enjoy making pixel art. To me, indie games shouldn’t just be independently developed — they should have their own style. Art is the most direct way to show that. Even if this game never becomes a huge commercial success, I want it to feel like something with our own thoughts and choices in it. #indiedev #cozygame #indiegame #pixelart

@DraconisRuthren We plan to release a small update for 1.7 compatibility, but it won’t include Halsin’s content

@XunHe1145 Will there be an update for when 1.7 drops?

Hi everyone, this is the Baldur's Village mod team! It's been almost a year since our release. We just wanted to drop by and say: Halsin's romance line is in production! ~ This has always been a passion project. We've all been busy with real life, so updates are going to be slow and at our own pace. But we have some good news on our progress: Halsin: His romance script is 100% finished! We are working on his art right now. Even though we are busy, we really want to finish every character's story properly (hopefully, haha). Thank you to everyone who is still waiting for us. Please look forward to Halsin! 🍻 #BG3 #StardewValley #Halsin #StardewMods

hey, just saw your message—thank you so much for the heads up i really appreciate you taking the time to let me know. that account definitely isn’t me. i don’t check comments super often so i missed this earlier, but yeah, someone’s impersonating me. actually… this isn’t the only case recently—some of my teammates got impersonated too. for the record, i only have personal accounts on x, ig, and xiaohongshu. anything else claiming to be me is fake. i’ll keep an eye on this—thanks again for reaching out.

@XunHe1145 from the looks and sounds of it. Just wanted you to be aware.

Hi everyone, though we're still busy with coding for Baldur's Village, we've made time for a Q&A to address some FAQs. We hope this helps those who follow and love the mod. Thanks to everyone always supporting us. We're just a fan group of Asian famales working across different countries and time zones. Despite limited time and coordination challenges, we're enjoying the process thanks to our love for both games. --- ** How Did We Choose the Characters' Story Branches? ** For characters like Astarion, the reason we chose the current endings is simple: we prefer these endings. These endings also offer more unresolved issues and story potential for further story dev. We won’t provide spoilers, as we want players to discover these stories themselves. Our goal is to keep the storylines and world clear and accessible, so that even those unfamiliar with BG3 can enjoy the mod. --- ** The content of the first version? ** We will release all origin chars. Since the setting is post-BG3, some chars will appear from the start, while others will need to be unlocked as players progress. We have special designs for the unlockable chars, which will be added and refined in future updates. We hope players will explore and discover these on their own. If you have any constructive feedback on your favorite chars, we welcome any friendly feedback: Our Patreon: XunHe1145, email: supbaldursv@gmail.com --- **Will Minthara, Jaheira, and Minsc Appear in the Mod?** There are no current plans to add them. If you saw our first updates in April, you’d notice the four houses were designed for the six origin chars and Halsin without considering these three. Most secondary chars, like Alfira and Rolan, appear occasionally and don’t need dedicated houses. However, this isn't set in stone. If we add them in the future, we may need to expand the map, design new houses, or find other ways to include them. --- **When Will Voting for Marriageable Chars and Their Storylines Open?** Creating events has proven to be more challenging than expected. The cost of making a marriageable origin chars with events is very high: even for just a one-minute story, we've gone through multiple revisions, developing these chars takes significantly more time than side chars. - Current Plan: Once the art and code for all origin chars are done, they'll be available in the game with dialogues and schedules, but no personal events or marriage options. - Voting Timeline: After this, we'll consider adding new events and marriageable chars based on DLs and donations. If targets are met, we'll open voting for players to choose their favorite chars on Patreon and prioritize event development. For updates, follow us on Patreon or Ko-fi. --- ** Future Update Plans ** - November: The first version with all origin charas, one marriageable character. - Bug fixes, new items, and other unique content. - Origin charas events and marriage options will be based on feedback and crowdfunding, with order determined by voting. --- ** Can I Play It on an Existing Save? ** Yes, but we recommend a new save for a smoother experience. --- ** Will There Be Translations into Other Languages Besides Mandarin and English? ** It depends on volunteers. After release, we welcome any translation work from volunteers, which will be entirely voluntary and without interference from us. #BaldursVillage #BG3 #StardewValley #Astarion #Shadowheart #BaldursGate3

Hello everyone, In the past few days, we have been actively addressing a situation, and we are now able to provide a full explanation. Last week, due to copyright issues, the Baldur’s Village MOD was temporarily taken down from Nexus. This unforeseen challenge caught our team off guard and led to confusion and concern among many players. Thankfully, the issue has now been thoroughly clarified and resolved. We sincerely appreciate the understanding and support from @larianstudios, the patience and assistance from the @NexusSites team throughout the process, and the thoughtful judgment and professional handling by Wizards of the Coast. We recognize that protecting intellectual property is a complex and serious responsibility, and we are truly grateful that our intentions—as both fans and creators—have been understood. We would also like to share a brief update: On the very day we received the takedown notice, we had just finalized Astarion’s Ten-heart event, which was scheduled for the next update. At the time, we were disheartened as we thought that this content might never reach the community. Fortunately, we are able to move forward. In the near future, we will be releasing a minor update that includes bug fixes and Astarion’s Ten Hearts event. Other planned content updates will also resume as scheduled. We are profoundly grateful for all of your patience, support, and trust during this time. Our team remains committed to refining the project content with each update. This is a gift, you know. Thank you all. We won’t forget it. ——Baldur’s Village Team #BaldursVillage #BG3 #StardewValley #BaldursGate3

We believe fan creations are born of love and passion. Your support means a great deal to us and we are incredibly grateful. Thank you for seeing the value in what we do.
We’ll keep working to live up to the love this community has shown us.

@AliHolii Gale’s heart level will reset to 0 due to a previous naming conflict. However, aside from that, you won’t lose any progress from the previous version.

@XunHe1145 My question is, if I download it again, will I lose the progress with the Baldurs Gate Villagers?

Baldur's Village 1.6.1 Update We've resolved most of the reported bugs like: We've resolved most of the reported bugs like - exiting welcome party - - dialogue problems - --- Version 1.6.1 Update Notice We've resolved most of the reported bugs.
