Sneak peek of the female love interest of my upcoming visual novel
Had a ton of fun working with the artist to translate an ancient design into someone romanceable.
More details coming soon โจ
Sneaky peek of a background
I recently received the first background for the (still unannounced) game and I love this little temple perched on a hill โบ๏ธ

I get the feeling the next game might heavily feature a swan...
(How can they look so regal yet sound SO silly? ๐ฆข)
That's awesome! I hope you'll have a good time โจ
I wanted to watch my partner play, too, but it's unfortunately not the game for him ๐
-> so there is more mileage there. I personally enjoy 'fixed characters with wiggle room' and Phyre is well suited for that kind of role-playing.
Worth mentioning that there is a choice towards the end that locks you into an ending no matter what! That made me a bit salty ๐
The plot is linear save for 1 minor mission and the endings slides.
I unfortunately found clan dialogue very lacking, I think it gets brought up 5 times in total ๐ค
The personality choices affected how the other characters treated me (and the endings, I believe) but not the task they assign ->

Second playthrough done!
My first Phyre was a level-headed, polite Banu Haqim while my Lasombra guy was the definition of a nasty man.
Had a ton of fun with the game, the foreshadowing was DELICIOUS โจ
Started a new Lasombra playthrough ๐ now I can properly savor the delicious foreshadowing. There's so much already in the first few hours!

Absolutely obsessed with this track from the Bloodlines 2 OST.
Had a ton of fun in my Banu Haqim playthrough and might start a second one already...

Preamble: I'm a massive VtM fan, but I've never played the original Bloodlines.
I had a BLAST with Bloodlines 2. It's a narrative action game, with A LOT of emphasis on the action, which is not my usual genre (I switched to easy after 20 mins). Very strong writing, I loved the protagonist(s) ๐
Will report back with my thoughts once I sink my fangs in it ๐ง

I added character customization, combat classes and field skills.
I'm liking this way too much๐คก
I implemented a simple 2d10 skill check system to an inky project, to test the language, and liked it enough to add "turn based" combat.
๐คก I know what I'll keep working on...
For today's entry to the Fall in Love Festival, we have some dark fantasy in @rdevworks.bsky.social's romance visual novel.
