A quick plot summary follows. It's written by myself so... don't expect any great writing! Also, some parts might be subject to change since it's still work in progress. This is just to give you the idea.
"Althea & Shea are two sibling living in the northern regions of Aravorn, desolated lands of ice, where villages are scarce as food is."
"They live with their father Morran nearby the town of Ninim. They lost their mother at young age."
"One day, one of the two sibling (depend which one the player decides to play) finds a young white wolf, his mother was just killed by pelt hunters."
The game takes places in four seasons (hence the name), starting in Winter and ending in Fall (or might be again Winter, depends).
You'll be able to choose three starting professions: Ranger (Warrior archetype), Hunter (Thief archetype) and Druid (Mage archetype). I am still thinking if to allow the player to choose also the sibling class, having a sort of double character creation, even if might be not very immersive. Not sure yet
The gameplay will be similar to Loren, reusing its engine modified to work at 1280x720 and with various changes (the most noticeable is the left to right display of the party/enemies, showing the full waist up sprite). The battlefield will still allow the same 6 vs 6 fights, and I'll try to make the weapons / armors have a bigger impact than in Loren.
Obviously, it is a smaller game than Loren, by word count and overall length, but I'm thinking about adding some more gameplay elements. So don't know, maybe in the end the play time will still be quite long
But definitely want to try finishing it by this Fall!I'm going to reveal the characters in the next days. I wanted to post one today, but there has been a problem with it, it should be more old looking and instead she isn't
(my fault) So I've asked the colorist to fix it by making her gray hairs and the face looking a bit older. But he hadn't time to do the changes yet.Also, I think would be lame to start from secondary characters, so I'll wait until the two siblings are colored before posting images, sorry
