We highly encourage you to apply!! With team matching as a priority, we hope to see enough applications that we can make excellent team matches of people who all share the same intent.
โถPsst, we are desperately seeking editors !!!!!
Currently, we are receiving staff and contributor applications in order to sort enthusiastic, creative (and probably unemployed/unbusy) people (like me) onto route teams. The selection process centers on matching applicants that have matching preferences into teams.

Itโs a game that's a bit more tactile than a traditional VN!
I love video games, I love 3RD Life, and I love the creativity in this community! Other wonderful people have made traffic series inspired games already, and I hope many more will too! We will see this project through!!!!
Despite its seemingly narrow scope, it still remains a gargantuan task! Branching story games are commonly regarded as tedious, so the scope of this project has been narrowed to focus on this. No combat, no puzzles - the player can only walk around, talk to characters and enjoy the stories.
09.03.2026 18:15 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0With so much time spent programming the content implementation tools, the actual mechanics in the game have to remain simple. The game is being called a visual novel instead of as an RPG (despite its theming) to focus on implementation stability and making the core game feature the best it can be.

Frustrating as this can be, I had already dedicated too much time to the project to give up. So I refactored again and again until I had something worth using.
However, I have to decide when enough is good enough. Having some roughness is wiser than spending half a decade on an unpaid project!
I hear that making custom tools to streamline a gameโs development are a must in professional studios. In an attempt to imitate, I rebuilt Heartfallโs implementation systems countless times; some of my prototypes were so, so cumbersome they were truly impossible to use efficiently.

Working on this project was a fulltime+ operation for myself; spending more than a dozen 60hr weeks figuring out how to actually make a collaboration game possible. From this arose the dialogue implementation system, the levelbuilder tool and the game itself - its style, its intent & its mechanics.

Heartfall - Applications ongoing - More project background
Thank you to everyone applying, and to everyone who told us they are excited to watch the project develop!
If you do not know, hello, I'm Kazehita! Me and the fellow staff are so happy it's finally time! 1/10
Wide full-colour sketch painting. My Xaela OC Jikhuungerel on a horse as they pass a golden rift in a bluish-green leafy backdrop. He is reaching back to pull at the rift's edges, revealing a crimson dimension beyond and large golden characters for the year of the horse. In the middle of the image, stacked vertically, are "2026," "happy new year," and "nichroous."
I'm a little late and this is rougher than I wanted it to be, but...!
I spent about two hours total on the painting itself so I think that's a good new year's accomplishment. ๐
Happy new year! Wishing everyone happiness and prosperity~
