Do you know any background designers willing to illustrate urban environments and futuristic interiors for my visual novel? If so: I'll take your suggestions and DMs! ^^

Well... Maybe there are some fantastic elements in "Cursed Awakening" as well... 😅

❄️ Show off your visual novel in 4 screenshots! ❄️

In The Last Winter Knight, you play as a ghost who wakes up inside a suit of armour and slowly uncovers the memories of who they were and why their castle was abandoned.

"As time goes by, I feel more and more trapped. These voices in my head... they're all so contradictory. Sometimes it feels like the world is about to collapse, like if I make the slightest mistake, I could destroy everything. Anyone's life..."

Dear #GameDev

Please try not to stress about what others could solo dev with the same plan based on experience.

This perspective is so crippling to your own growth. You have your own advantages.

Fresh experience is absolutely a strength we don't talk enough about as an industry.

Cherish it 💖💖💖
Traveling. All I can do is stare at my #gamedev plan

It’s gonna take awhile (despite using pre-made assets) due only to my noob-ness

A more exp dev would have this game built by now, it’s not that complex (At least have the demo & steam page done)

My 3rd game is gonna rock!
If I live that long...

22. visual direction is really important! it's not necessarily animating things or having a lot of art, but rather being mindful of how the scene is composed. you don't have to have the sprites at left and right for the entire game. mix things up and pretend you're creating a film or a manga!

Are you the type who prefers :

❗A linear, intriguing adventure
or
↔️ A brief story with choices and twists?

"Cursed Awakening", for its part, will offer choices while focusing on short, quiet dark stories...

"In Aurora, a huge megalopolis where human-like animal creatures are gradually appearing, fear is growing. The population's mistrust has led to their prohibition.

No matter what methods are used to get rid of them..."

Stay tuned, I'll be revealing more about this world very soon!
