How will you end the world, #PitchYaGame? In cyberpunk Iceland, the prophecy of Ragnarök looms larger than ever. ✨Discover magic in a world of tech ⚔️Shape the coming apocalypse ❤️Make friends, enemies, and (optionally) lovers 🎙️ Fully voiced dialog! #visualnovel

Sometimes it's worth sitting back and appreciating how many facial expressions, outfits, and poses we've accumulated while working on this game! And then a new line of dialogue comes along and inspires me to add just one more... #visualnovel

Some more fun we had creating animatic cutscenes in Ren'Py! This one's a flashback, but you still get choices! Our VN lets you shape your character's backstory as well as what they'll do next.

There's a nontrivial amount of action in our visual novel, and it's been awesome working with artists like @Raydash30 to create cinematic sequences like this!

What sets our visual novel apart? Well, there's this one thing... The poly flirt option. Also known as being able to flirt with multiple people ethically, without breaking promises or deceiving anyone <3

@Raydash30 Awesome, thanks!

@godsoftwilight wow... its improves a lot

Happy with the way camera movement adds life to our visual novel's scenes. It's not always what the scenes needs, but when it is, it's satisfying ^.^

Is the shadow in the mirror a problem or an asset? Assuming it isn't just your imagination. #visualnovel

Playing with colors to evoke physical feelings. In this case, the tunnel vision of fighting for your life. Pain is in vivid color, as is the violent focus in your eyes. The rest of the world has fallen into the background. You're acting in a trance, all instinct. #visualnovel

@wanderlustgame_ Since you mention a star sign, my brain can't help itself from speculating about lore. Does her homeworld have horoscopes based on how the stars look from their planet's perspective? It's genuinely interesting to consider how their calendar and ours might relate to each other.

Meet Ryona, the Tilaari medic with healing hands (and an affinity for deadly plants) 💙

Tanking the punks trying to mug someone, so the victim can escape. Playing tank IRL can get you killed, Hektor! This isn't a video game! (Well, it is... But you're a character, so for you, it's real life!) #visualnovel

@synstoria Yeah, a gif would eliminate the confusion, though I hate to give up the visual quality of MP4 😅

@godsoftwilight Oh yeah no problem! It's just like it says "visual and sounds", I was expecting something special in the audio, no problem I def understand that short loop can be very annoying with sounds :p

Magic in our game is more felt than seen. But since it's a visual novel, we still use visuals and sounds to communicate what the characters feel. In this case, a tingling rush of energy down one character's arm and into another's chest, flowing like a torrent of water.

@synstoria I actually left it without audio, thinking that if such a short video loops, the audio loop might become annoying. But maybe this one was long enough. Thanks for giving a heads up either way!

@godsoftwilight might be a problem from my computer, but I don't hear anything sounds in the video? Is it just me?

If you see hypertext in our game, it means you can take a dive down a mini Wikipedia hole to learn more... as much or as little as you want. You'll understand the story with or without the codex, but for those who like to explore, our VN has plenty of easter eggs.

There's something special about hand-drawn game art. Every detail has thought behind it, fleshing out the world and the characters who live there. Like this new background art by @Brydyne to complement our visual novel's character art by @Raydash30 !

Animating a drive through the cyberpunk city where our visual novel begins, animatic style in Ren'Py! Thanks to @carlldpn for all the fun details in the background! You can see even more when you get out and walk around.

Yes, you can switch every bit of text in our visual novel to OpenDyslexic font. And enable automatic text-to-speech for every bit of text and every button. Thanks to @renpytom for making accessibility so easy to include!

Is there climate change in our visual novel? Yes. But the point is not to lecture people. It's to imagine the future and explore the possibilities. Like floating cities on rising oceans. People are already making floating buildings IRL!

The free demo alone has a solid chunk of story: store.steampowered.com/app/1528970/Go…

What's the bigger challenge? Social awkwardness or fighting literal assassins? Try our visual novel and find out🤣
