Maelstrom Chaser

I have been waiting to reveal some of the new things coming from Blue Otter Games and here is the first.
Introducing the newest game: Maelstrom Chaser!
Before continuing, I want to reiterate that this is NOT replacing Matrix Hearts. Matrix Hearts is still the primary game coming from Blue Otter Games. Maelstrom Chaser has been a culmination of the first visual novel I wanted to do, but we had to pivot because of the costs of purchasing the fantasy elements needed for the game.
Maelstrom Chaser is going to be released between Matrix Hearts chapters. The chapters are much shorter, around 500-700 renders per chapter. The script is also complete, and the environments are already 90% built, so there won't be a need to spend a lot of time on either of those.
Now, let's introduce the game!
In a world of brass and steam, maelstroms filled with monsters are kept at bay from entering the human world thanks to the power of maelstrom trees. In order to keep these trees healthy, they are tended by the magical abilities of Guardians, who have protected the trees for generations. Even with the protections, there comes a time when the monsters come into the world, and the mission to protect the world belongs to a Maelstrom Chaser.
The game is set in a steam-brass version of Riga, Latvia. The two characters I am going to introduce today are the Guardians and two of the primary love interests in the game, the twins.
Liga:
Cool, calm, collected. She is both levelheaded and won't make much of a fuss about her role as a Guardian.
Iveta:
Animated, perky, energetic. She is much fonder of her role as a Guardian and the Maelstrom.
There is plenty more magic to be had in Maelstrom Chaser! This is a combination of all the things I have learned making games as if going to feature new stuff I wasn't able to do in Matrix Hearts.
More info is coming for Christmas, as well as Otter Christmas week! You can expect a lot of content, including the release of Matrix Hearts 3.9.
Maelstrom Chaser comes out the start of the new year!

Comments
I have completed it. I am waiting for the programmer to fix the main menu issue (where it infinite loops) and to fix a new issue where it goes from the ZippyApp to the main title if you click of gallery. As much as I've learned, the super complicated programming stuff, I give to GreedyLust, who does anything complicated. But I don't want to sit idle. I'm working behind the scenes on other things. I appreciate the comments, but rest assured, 3.9 is almost here.
