Character Introductions

Here are the first character card thingies for the new VN! I'll be posting more of these soon.

I've worked on these while preparing the demo. Still fixing and sorting out some technical stuff as well as the game text.

Main Menu Art

Here's the finished art for the main menu of Demonheart: The Ice Demon.
I love how he seems to be lurking indoors, and you can see the city and the hot weather outside.

Screenshot Saturday

Today I'm posting the first screenshots from Demonheart: The Ice Demon. I'm hoping to prepare a demo soon!

Esmius Sketch

Here's a sketch of the demonspawn lurking around. =) The idea is to have this as the main menu background for Demonheart: The Ice Demon.

The new game has a title!

It's Demonheart: The Ice Demon.

I registered the app on Steam.

I've also begun modifying my existing visual novel engine to make it easier to write the game and set graphics and audio so I should waste less time on the technical stuff and focus on creating game content. (The final polishing of Jester / King was hard because I had to do a lot of things from code instead of selecting it from a graphical interface, so I'm trying to improve that.)

Next, I'll ...

Friend Sprite

Here is the finished sprite of another female character for the new VN. I'm still choosing names for some characters, so for now we'll call her "friend." ;)

New Character Sketch

Here is another character for the new VN. For now, the plan is that she might become the main character's friend.

Jester / King released!

The game just came out!
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1424300/Jester__King
itch io: https://rollingcrown.itch.io/jester-king

After testing this over and over, I felt like I was part of the looping world myself. ='D

I'll be around to fix any issues that might come up. After that I'll try to take a little break for my health,...

Finished Sprite (Good Guy)

Here is another finished sprite for the new VN, while I'm doing some final testing for Jester / King! Thanks for supporting!

New Character Sketch

Here is the concept for another character for the new VN. I'm 90% sure this one will be a good guy. =')

Thanks everyone for your support!

Jester / King is close to release!

Today I submitted the game builds for Jester / King to Steam to review.

I'm still testing this game and feel like I have to polish it better toward the end. I can't finish a single playthrough in three days (due to constant changes.) ='D Still hoping I'll be ready to push the release button in mid-September!

Witch Sprite

Just a quick update to show the finished sprite of the mentor/witch in the new VN!

I'll be doing some final testing and fixes of Jester / King for the next few weeks. Hopefully, the release will be on the date I scheduled ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1424300/Jester__King/ ) and after that I can work full-time on the new VN.

Witch Sketch

This is another character in the new visual novel, a witch in her 40s. She will be kind of a mentor figure for the main character. =)

Sirath Sprite (Romance Interest #2)

It's the second romance interest for the new otome VN! (The first one is the demonspawn. :P)

I plan to give both of them their own routes. Can't promise the same for the other characters, but we'll see where the story takes anyway.

A batch of backgrounds

The background artist already finished all the scenes I asked for. Some of them or their variations are spoilerish so I didn't want to share them, but here are some that I can: the main character's bedroom, the market, and a prison/torture room (because we need that!)

Thanks again for supporting! In the following months, I only expect to commission the character artist, but it takes him a few weeks per image because he works a lot. =')

Romance Interest #2 Concept Sketches

These are the concept sketches for the second love interest in the new Demonheart VN. 

Spoiler: I chose the middle one. (Okay, not a spoiler, you can see it in the colored version. xD)

You'll see more of him soon. :3

Alchemy Lab Background

Here's another background for the new VN!

In the meantime, I'm testing and polishing Jester / King and can't believe how long it's taking. By my estimate, it's going to take 2 months to polish it to my liking. I think I'd have an easier job if I published it in chapters like Demonheart, but alas, it's not so easy to split into chapters.

Shar Sprite

Meet Shar, the main character of the new visual novel!
This is her "spellcasting" pose.

The next character will be the second love interest!

Main Character Concept Art

These are the concept sketches for the main character in the new VN. She is a witch from El'shei. I love how the artist did her face. <3

Devlog - July 2021

A lot of stuff is going on for me game-dev wise, so I thought I'd post about the current status of my projects. 


Jester / King 

We had an audition for voice actors on Twitter and it was wild! Voice actors have been chosen for the seven main roles in Jester / King, and due to (thankfully!) many applicants, it took some time to listen to all the auditions. I listened to them as they arrived, and pretty much couldn't do anything else for those te...

Esmius's other pose

+ A dungeon background.

He's a nice demonspawn. Promise.

Demonspawn Designs

These were the designs and color variations for the new demonspawn.

In the previous post you can see the finished sprite, but I thought I'd share these because they are so cool. =) Having concept art made and choosing between these was fun! Although, honestly, I think either one of them would have been awesome. The character artist is 6nii9. We'll be doing this for the rest of the main cast for this VN!

Demonspawn Reveal

First Background for the new DH VN

In the new VN, you will play as a young witch from El'shei who was invited to become another witch's assistant. This is the town she arrives at, eager to meet her new mistress.

Brief history of my game making journey

Back in the early 2000s, my brother introduced me to some awesome computer games, and thank him for that! My favorite games included Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and 4, Baldur's Gate, and Neverwinter Nights.

While playing Baldur's Gate 2, I found it so unfair that the only male romance option was the wretched Anomen, while there were 3 romanceable females to choose from, and they were only available if you play as a guy. After discovering a wonderful community of BG2 modders, I started ...
