Remnants Of The Past

Fun Fact Series #4

Just like Enid, Belicar/Nisa didn't exist at first, and their place was going to be taken by Alcorac.

---

Belicar/Nisa were never supposed to be part of the story! Originally, Alcorac, Abora's husband, was set to be the main antagonist, causing all sorts of trouble for the MC and their friends. But as I kept writing, Belicar/Nisa somehow came to life on their own. Before I knew it, I had these characters on paper, quickly becoming some of my favorites –and the most delightfully ...

Character Moodboard - Arianna Bravo

Born into a plebeian family, Arianna's life was turned upside down when she witnessed the brutality and insensitivity of the nobility when they executed her sick neighbours to preserve medicines for themselves.

Moved by indignation and a thirst for revenge, she decided to take the plunge and become the leader of the rebels, admired by them for her cunning and courage. Her spirit became the beacon of hope for the oppressed, who saw her as the embodiment of their yearning for freedom.

Monthly Update - June 2024

Well, after a slow recovery during the first week, I’m finally back to full energy! This month, I focused on catching up on the progress I had fallen behind on, which is a bit difficult being a slow writer, but I’ve managed to do most of it!

To begin with, half of the first manuscript of Chapter 1 is already written. It’s giving me more trouble than I thought, though. I had the summary d...

The song I have on repeat while writing the scene I'm working on

This is the song I have on repeat while writing the scene I'm working on. So relaxing and beautiful. It adds such a perfect atmosphere to the scene and makes it so much easier to write :D.

Extra Scene, Act 1, Chapter 9 (Omar’s POV)

It was supposed to be just fun.

Just a silly, insignificant fling between two adults to blow off some steam from all the stress destiny had thrown at them. For Omar, that’s exactly what it was, and he thought MC was on the same page.

Until now.

Omar stays silent for a few moments, his brain taking its sweet time to process what MC just said. His mind blames the drink he had earlier, but that's a cheap excuse since he hasn’t had a drop of alcohol in a month and a half—a...

Ah, that moment when I draw a character from Remnants and love the result so much that I wish they weren't just a secondary character… :')

Fun Facts Series #3

Initially, the plan was to include love triangles between several characters.

---

My intention when starting this story was to allow the reader to explore all the romantic possibilities if they wanted to, leading to certain moments and comments from the characters that would be, at the very least, awkward for everyone involved, lol! And if the reader continued to flirt with multiple characters simultaneously, it would trigger the option to choose the love triangle route.

How...

A more visual look at our favourite grumpy guard with a softer side they don't share often. A shame they lost that stuffed dog when they were little, it was their favourite toy :(.

I just love writing Belicar/Nisa, they're so fun even if they could kill everyone with just their stare, lol!

Monthly Update - May 2024

A day late, but better late than never, lol.

I hope you all had a great month! In my case it has been anything but, unfortunately. At the beginning of the month my grandmother got sick with pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital, then my mother had a severe sciatica flare-up, then my brother got the flu, then I got the flu, and just when I thought I was getting better, just yesterday I got the flu again and had to stay in bed due to the fever. So yeah, it wasn't fun... but thankful...

Extra Scene, Act 1, Chapter 9 (Charlie and her crew)

We focus a bit on the peculiar pirates in this extra scene, and see what happened to them when Belicar/Nisa sent MC and their group to Taoro!

Charlie and her crew are original characters created by my brother Enael, belonging to one of his upcoming novels called The Legacy of the Sea.

>>>>>>>>>>

The sudden change of scenery makes Charlie's head spin. Her body, along with her crew's, crashes against the wooden deck of her ship. The rest of her co...

Fun Facts Series #2

Remnants of The Past was to be a visual novel, and even had two chapters released.

Just before Remnants became what it is now, it was first going to be a visual novel created with RenPy. In fact, I even got the first two chapters out before I changed the format and started using Twine! The reason for the change was because at that time I was having a lot of difficulties with the visual aspect of the program. Since I did everything by hand, and at that time my drawing skills weren't that...

Remnants of The Past Moodboard - Sorrol

The small village of Sorrol is not as small as it looks from the outside. There you can find a warm and welcoming community, with the orange tiles giving a touch of colour to the roofs of its mostly white houses, and the chrysanthemums carefully planted all over the place.

A quiet, yet lively village thanks to the tavern, Tamarant, which has become a favorite meeting point for locals since the time it was built. Although the truth is that some still have its beach as their number one ch...

Demo update

​I have to thank the user aliceeh for letting me know about this. I must have mixed the files and accidentally uploaded the full version but now the demo has been updated and it shouldn't let you continue the story after chapter 4.​

To those who knew and didn't say anything....

How dare you?

Seriously though, I don't blame you, I would have kept my mouth shut like a dog t...

Making the summary of Act 2, and this is the answer to one of the important questions, lol!

Minor Update

The update I mentioned a few days ago in the Monthly Update is here! Now there’s a new passage at the end of the Act with a button that will create the save file to carry all your choices to Act 2 when Chapter 1 is released. There’s also a guide that you can follow for mobile players.

Note that only this last save file will work to import you choices.

Apart from this, I’ve fixed a few bugs and grammatical errors that I missed, and I’ve removed the audio on...
