Monsters - Continued

More monster graphics in collaboration with MeltyVixen! Monster encounter in Spellhearts can happen while traversing the dungeon or during Events.

Voice Acting- Update!

An update regarding voice actors for Spellhearts: 

All main characters have been cast and are currently recording their lines. Bellona and Gretta characters are already complete and...well, it's REALLY great stuff. VERY excited to see the characters come to life. 

We will be announcing the actresses soon with short character reveal teasers on Twitter so stay tuned. 

Selina - Sprite

Selina is a fortune teller side character that will be introduced in the first release of Spellhearts. Hopefully, with future DLC, we will be able to expand her into a fully featured MC. We do have time to add a bit of lewdess for her in the game, of course. A real stunner I think. She will be popular I bet ;P

Monsters

MeltyVixen is helping out with some coloring for Spellhearts. One of the tasks is coloring some monster graphics. Here is a preview of some of the finished designs. Looking sharp I think!

Spellhearts - Witch Sigil Designs

Each MC witch in the game has a magic sigil design used in shrine animations. Here are the 7 designs.

Scene Writing Complete - Spellhearts

We have officials finished writing all of the scenes for Spellhearts. BrimBrim did an exquisite job. We are currently proofing and refining the drafts of the production scripts and after that, we will move on to creating stripped down dialogue scripts for the voice Talent to start recording soon. After that, the rest of the text for the game is related to the adventure game style mechanics like inspecting objects and shops. Getting there!

Spellhearts - Background NPC Sprites

Background NPCs will look like this (image above). They feature lighting to match the environment as well as the possibility of emote bubbles that tell the player about new state changes like a "!" for indicating they have something to tell the Player urgently or a heart symbol to indicate attraction.

MeltyVixen and I will be churning through these soon. The main characters as well as all the townspeople in the game will require these sprites (and basically anyone you can interact with ...

Voice Casting - Spellhearts

We have completed the first round of voice auditions and there are MANY applicants (more than expected). Many promising talents have submitted samples and we are very pleased so far. Finding the right fit for each MC witch is drawing near. We will be very excited to soon release voice samples of each witch with some promotional materials for the main character once each role is cast. 

Character Key Art - Complete

Among many other things, the key marketing images for the 7 main characters of Spellhearts have been completed!

Character Key Art- Gretta & Bellona (Line art)

Working on some key art for marketing purposes of each MC witch. MeltyVixen will be helping me out a bit on preparing the flat colors for rendering. I am fast tracking these so they can be ready for web/ steam store/ teaser/trailer. They have to be very high detail as the definitive images of the characters that will be commonly seen. 

Spellhearts Game Progress Update - May

Been a while since I updated on production progress. Everything is going very well and is more or less on track! @LydiaBrim (Brim) and I are 99% done with the main writing and are gearing up for a cleanup draft of everything. I will say, my collaboration with Brim has been epic, and the writing is something VERY special and unique. Voice talents are currently being cast as well, with help from @LadyLustria (the voice of Sally herself!). @Washazoo (Washa) has also completed the FIRST of the ga...

Princess Peach - Pinup

Testing some a new rendering style for some upcoming Nintendo stuff I have in my backlog. I think this style works quite well, no?

Classic Sally Pinup

Did a sexy Sally pinup. Been a while since she's been hangin around here with those huge milkers...

Spellhearts - NPC Sprites coloring

As aforementioned, MeltyVixen is hard at work on some coloring helping out on the game's sprites. As you can see, she has ramped up on how to match the rendering style for Spellhearts, and I must say, she is doing great work. 

Spellhearts - Up and Running

An update to the Steam page and its capsules/banners has been pushed. Wishlists are climbing strong and steady thus far, but the real boost will likely be when we drop the trailer in a few months.

Marketing assets for the trailer and website are currently being made/planned. Key / poster art for each main character is underway and will be featured in marketing materials, the trailer, and an official cover art (eventually). 

The artist MeltyVixen is officially helping on the p...

Spellhearts Background Art - Progress

Backgrounds for the game's locations are coming along very well. Here's some updates! As you can see, Orchid Wyrm's house is quite cozy and we have the first of Hallowdrake's shopkeepers complete (Ozran's magic shop).

Norgog - Design

A fabled fire dragon who guards the rocky caves just outside Hallowdrake. The beast is seldom seen in full, but sometimes his mighty roar can be heard from the depths and his breath can create plumes seen emanating from the forest. A creature of fire, it is said to incinerate a man with a single breath and have a long whipping tail that can topple fortress walls.

This dragon is quite young (considering a dragon’s almost limitless lifespan) and therefore, not as experienced in both hun...

Spellhearts Announced!

Spellhearts was officially announced today on social media. If you are on Twitter, it would be much appreciated if you could retweet the post. The Steam Store is live and cooking. For the next 10 months or so, we will be collecting wishlists for the app and will post major updates periodically, and eventually some trailers. Let the hype begin!

Thank you for all your support thus far!
