Moulded out of the frozen heart of Viharg, Hava silently rules over and protects the snowy regions of To-Valand where the ice never thaws.

Viharg is the head of the Valandi pantheon, Deity of Storms, and Creator of Venar.

Forin is the son of the Goddesses Ada and Sela whose love has served as an inspiration for bards and painters across the thundering seas.

This is the ultimate goal of AI - don't buy the claims that it's to help your efficiency. They want you gone.

Many level designers, user research staff plus UX and narrative writers have also been told they’re at risk. In particular, these staff have spent the last few years building and training AI tools to do their jobs. They’re now effectively being replaced, say sources. “Most of level design has been wiped, which is crazy since they’ve spent months building tools to craft levels quicker,” said one staffer. “Now those AI tools are basically replacing the teams. Similarly the copywriting team is completely removing people since we now have AI tools that those individuals have been creating.”

Blood Beckons is a 2D, narrative-driven, gothic horror game where your choices will pit you against your own sanity.

As desire drips, drips, drips into survival, Elanor's fate is in your hands. Mould it carefully and let her story consume you.

Read our open letter here:

#indiegame #indiedev
An open letter from Great Seal Studios addressing the nature of Blood Beckons: Due to the limitations afflicting self-funded indie studios, Blood Beckons draws inspiration from visual novels and will be smaller in scope compared to our future projects. To get there, however, we need to start from scratch. That does not mean that our first title is a mere stepping stone, we are passionate about crafting rich story-driven games and we are very excited to have you experience a world drenched in horror and desire intertwined.

"Don't be afraid of her teeth, Elanor, for this place may eat you whole long before the end." Our first title, Blood Beckons, is now in early development. #indiegame #indiedev #indiehorror #gamedev

During a solar eclipse, the devout Santilli ascend en masse to grand volcanic craters. By carrying a torch of inextinguishable blue flame, they usher in a season of agricultural harmony. The pilgrimage is concluded once the shadowed veil has been lifted off Aprex, the Great Sun.

As the Lehelian saying goes, “The sky is as vast as knowledge itself.” Many believe the phrase originates from early scholars who visited a secluded area where “the Sky met the Earth” and were struck by the sheer presence of the cosmos. They named this wonder the Field of Stars. #lesbian
@/dyingnome
The Field of Stars mirrors the constellations in the night sky. Two lesbian scholars hold each other in loving embrace as they stargaze. The scholar on the left points up reverently at the cluster of stars, while the one on the right gently grips her partner by the hip and playfully fiddles with a spyglass.

The realm of Lehel is located in the Western Plains. The study of the sky and the Grand Order are of great importance in Lehelian culture, resulting in a nation of scientists. As knowledge lies at the heart of their society, Lehel is home to Venar’s very first university.

During a widespread revolutionary wave that shook the Empire, a group of scientists were tasked with harnessing raw energy directly from the source to forge new weapons, resulting in the catastrophic events now known as Greed’s Grave. Today, Krumland is a hazardous wasteland.

Krumland was a land of prosperity and extremes. The former peninsula was infused with raw energy due to the presence of several Great Wounds, resulting in the rapid technological development that aided the brutal Krumi expansion. The Krumi Empire reigned over Venar for centuries.

Most rituals are performed on the Luminous Shores; they are integral to Valandi identity. The early inhabitants were shipwrecked and had lost all navigation, but the dark waves lit aglow, guiding the survivors to land. The Shores are a reminder of their mortality and resilience.

To-Valand is an archipelago in the Valandi Sea. As the foundation of Valandi wealth is maritime commerce, their vessels are well-constructed for trade and protection. The Valandi are known for their hospitality and melancholic nature – outmatched only by their gods.

The source of Erdom’s wealth and dominance in trade and commerce, however, isn’t its vast forests but the Great Plain that rips through the very core of the country. It is blessed with the most fertile soil of the continent, making it one of the most crucial regions of Venar.

A hazy sun sets below the Great Plain. Workers carry bundles of hay. A person stares wearily at you in the foreground. People in animal masks dance around a fire in the distance.

Erdom is Venar’s largest and richest country. After settling down in the Woodlands, the Erdi enjoyed safety and peace over centuries, leading to remarkable progress. Cradled in the arms of the impenetrable Deepwoods, Domonkos is the only capital city that has never been captured.

Murva is often referred to as “the Empire of None.” Despite its geographical location and resources, the Murvi leadership was never able to deliver on expansionist plans due to the instability of the Depths. These underground horrors are barely contained by the Order of the Den.

Hi, friends! In the following 6 weeks, we are going to briefly introduce you all to our continent, Venar, through early concept art. Each week will be dedicated to a country in the Modern Age (with a clear odd one out). We can't wait to share this world with you. See you soon! :) #indiegame #fantasy

Murva is a rich yet divided country. While the Murvi Civil War brought an era of peace, the tension between the Highlands and the Underearth is palpable in the very air, heavier than Stone itself. This realm of dual chiefdom is dominated by a reluctant yet necessary co-existence. @/papirfecni

Keep your eyes peeled for the first look at our world! #indiegame #gamedev #worldbuilding #fantasy #storytelling
An open letter from Great Seal Studios announcing that our first game is in very early development. We are a small team of friends who have decided to band together and produce art in different forms. In the age of “AI art” this is both a privilege and a necessity. In the following weeks, our first project kicks in and we will be steadily introducing you to the world we have been building from scratch over the past years. Thank you all for being here with us and we hope to see you on this journey as we unravel far off lands drenched in fantasy, horror, and political turmoil; all forged in blood and sweat. With kindness and respect, The Great Seal Team

Let's take a look at the reasons why you might get laid off while working on a game, shall we? Your game doesn't do well, which, sure. Harsh, but understandable. Your game is called a success by Microsoft. Microsoft then lays you off. You help make a game as successful as Marvel Rivals. You are then laid off. Your studio gets acquired for over $60 billion dollars. You are then laid off. You endure executive pressure that forces you into making games your studio isn't good at making. It doesn't go well. You are then laid off. Someone decides your portfolio needs to be aligned/reorganised/restructured to become more flexible/agile/versatile under economic/industry conditions. Meanwhile, your CEO might've spent $2 million on vintage cars. You are then laid off.
