Heirs & Graces – Borges

borges

First of all, a new character introduction for Heirs & Graces by the writer:

Borges comes from a fairly well off family. Though not a noble by any means, he can’t say that he’s suffered any overwhelming hardships over the years. His parents, though not particularly strict, always had a certain path in mind for him. They helped him get a good education to become a doctor and still occasionally meddle in his love life in an attempt to get him to settle down. Borges has followed their plans for him as far as becoming a doctor, but he has a few minor issues with that second part. He’s put off talking to them about it however, figuring he has more important things to focus on at the moment– like treating Lord Sandor.

Borges isn’t an incompetent doctor by any means, but there are certainly more experienced ones that Lord Sandor could afford to employ. However, after going through several of them, Lord Sandor has stuck with Borges. Borges visits Lord Sandor directly and has become a familiar face to all of Lord Sandor’s employees. He is very polite and is well liked by most of the servants including Marcel, but he occasionally clashes with Vincent and Lord Sandor. He finds the two to be unreasonable at times and has made a point of telling them so. He is genuinely invested in Lord Sandor’s well being, but there is only so much he can do when Lord Sandor insists on keeping information from him.

Borges is kind and puts the well being of others before his own. He’s been through enough situations to know that he can’t save everyone, but he still takes it personally whenever he’s unable to help someone in need. He gets frustrated often, but tries to keep it to himself as he works through it. He’s usually able to talk himself into remaining positive, but Lord Sandor’s case has been wearing him down bit by bit. It’d be one thing if it was just the disease that he had to worry about, but Lord Sandor is definitely one of the most infuriating patients he’s ever had to work for.

Status update: panic! Or maybe not…

It’s June and I’ve made some accounting work, and noticed that my direct sales halved vs last year in the same period… :O However, I quickly understood why: so far this year I just released SOTW DLC and… nothing else 🙂

Nowadays is vital to keep releasing quality titles in this very competitive indie world, and I only released a DLC, so not even a full new game (even if SOTW DLC is quite long and complex).

I am in a weird situation in which I have a LOT of titles in progress, but so far none really close to completion (I consider a game close when I could begin the pre-order/beta testing phase).

The closest to being finished is without doubt C14 Dating, with Nicole yuri a second close. Then, depending how things go, Queen Of Thieves or some other dating sim (like Summer In Trigue, Heirs & Graces, etc).

Anyway, currently I only can wait for the artists/writers/coders and keep working on QoT since is the only game I can be actively participating in, for now 🙂

    Wow! Borges is one of the most handsome yet. Heirs and Graces is coming along well, from what I see! And don’t worry Jack, sales will pick up sometime I’m sure. I’m afraid that I only bought SOTW DLC this year, as everything else I wanted I already own them, and there is nothing else to buy. ^^;

    And maybe other people may choose to shop on steam instead, as you are offering your games there. I’m glad to see Nicole Yuri and C-14 dating releasing soon! Been looking forward to them. 😀

      Haha thanks for your support! 🙂
      Yes as said I think is normal since it’s unusual for me to have not released a full game yet this year around June. Anyway, just today got even more texts for Nicole yuri, so it’s surely promising.

    I noticed you keep starting more and more games but it seems to be taking a long time to finish them all. Hopefully we’ll see QoT beta by fall! (But it looks like you’re missing a soundtrack still.)

      Well sometimes when a new writer approaches me and he/she is very determined, I like to give a chance. The main issue of all my games is the writing, so in future I’ll first have all writing done, and then worry about art/music 🙂
      For QoT I have some tracks done by a guy that can’t finish them sadly (quality is very good), so I need only to finish it. So in reality I have half OST done (5-6 tracks).
      As for the beta by fall is possible, since the new writer made all the yuri paths, and she’s starting the otomes now, so now depends mostly on me. When things depends mostly on me, if I can work without problems, I finish stuff 😀
