PSCD – Meet Rigel

Time to introduce another PSCD character. He’s the BxB romance, albeit not one of the heroes (he has no skills in battle).

Name: Rigel A. Luvene
Nation of Origin: Australia
Service Branch: Mechanic/Imperial Vehicle Maintenance

Description:
Among the newest arrivals to the colony, Rigel is the assigned mechanic for the colony’s vehicle hangar. Say what one might, Rigel is considered the best mechanic ever.

However, not everyone viewed Rigel’s arrival with pleasure, for Xavier saw the sable-haired man as a threat to his position. They soon became good friends when Rigel showed Xavier how he could get a 11% acceleration boost in his hovercycle, and extend his jumps by 20 meters. Soon, other people started to show up, making Rigel the goto person for modifying their vehicles and weapons.

Rigel is considered a bit aloof since he spends most of his time in the vehicle bay. Despite Rigel’s obvious skills, reported mechanical mishaps have increased over 50% in the colony. Some of the more cynical attribute this to owner sabotage, hoping Rigel will appear to repair the ‘broken’ vehicles.

When he can be pried away from vehicle bay, Rigel can be found avidly watching the hovercar races in the bar. Some of the few arguments he’s gotten in have been over just who the greatest hovercar driver is; Rigel will go to his grave believing it is Candace Shatz, three time winner of the Death Valley Rally.

This doesn’t mean Rigel eats, breathes, and sleeps oil. Rigel can often be found out among the dunes, the stark beauty reminding him of his earthly home.

Latest news about the other games

As you probably know, Seasons Of The Wolf is going the final testing stage, but is complete since a week. You can play it all and read all the story and unlock all the romances/achievements, even if is still in beta.
For how long will keep it in beta? I am not sure, but perhaps it could be released next Friday, the night of Halloween! That would be cool 🙂

However I’m not in a hurry at all, I want to test it well to make sure that when I officially put it live on my site will be (almost) bug free. Which for such a big game, isn’t an easy task 😉

C14 Dating is also going very well. Deji (main artist) is doing a great job drawing some animated chibis for the schedule activities. Below you can see a WIP of the game GUI done by Therese Yucamco (who did the GUI of Nicole as well):

Is taken from a gameplay video so the quality is not the best, but you can see already how cool it is! 🙂

I’m working also on other projects of course, but I don’t have any significant progress to show you this week. Stay tuned for next Friday!

PSCD – meet Charlotte

Roger steel world: meet Neville

3 Replies

Here’s Neville, a new character from the Steampunk RPG Roger Steel.
Like for the other characters, the art is not definitive yet. In particular we’re going to change a bit the clothes colors, since both the writer, the artist and I noticed there’s too much “brown” in them 😀

But now, Neville’s introduction by the writer:

Introducing Neville – Itinerant Inventor

This week we meet Neville, Christina’s brother, Arthur’s best friend, and all-round steampunk nerd. Neville much prefers machines to people (less complicated; far easier to fix), but somehow clicked with the effervescent Arthur and holds a shy, cautious regard for mercurial Ann.

If you need equipment repaired, upgraded or just plain invented, Neville is your guy. Handy with a wrench, a wizard with a lathe, and most at home in a fully equipped forge pounding the bejesus out of some hapless piece of metal, adventures aren’t really Neville’s thing – but friendship and a protective instinct for his sister can lure a man far out of his comfort zone.

However, Neville is far more than he appears and, as Ann or Arthur perhaps discover, even friends you have known for years hold can dark secrets close to their hearts.

Bionic Heart on Steam

Speaking of dark secrets: my sci-fi visual novel Bionic Heart is now out on Steam. As always if you bought it directly you can redeem a Steam key from this site:

Roger Steel world: meet Svetlana

7 Replies

Time for a new member of Roger Steel world, Svetlana! There are also males obviously but we’re going with the images the artist has finished first 🙂

Svetlana – From Russia with Mystery

Roger Steel and the Human Element plays against a background of seismic shifts in technological achievement and the fetid swamp of geopolitics. Taking advantage of the former whilst trying to avoid the perils of the latter is a hazardous undertaking in itself. In the game, as in real life, the Russian and British empires have long had a turbulent relationship. Although many on both sides admired the culture and achievements of their rivals, there is no doubt that those in power will stop at nothing to advance their interests, especially in the wake of the great cataclysm of 1837 that sent the future careening in a new direction.

When Ann or Arthur embark on their great adventure, rescuing their sibling from the clutches of a formidable foe, they can rely only on their steadfast friends, Christina and Neville for help. However, they soon find an unexpected ally in Roger Steel who believes that the kidnappers might be connected with a case he has been pursuing for several years. But it isn’t long before more enigmatic strangers appear on the scene. Are they drawn to Steel himself? Or the mystery he is investigating?

One of them is the flame-haired Russian agent, Svetlana Ruskaya. Self-confident, mocking, and unfathomable, Svetlana is not one to fade into the background. When Ann or Arthur first meet her, it is apparent that she and Roger Steel know each other, but the exact nature of their relationship is unknown even to Steel himself.

Implacable enemy; invaluable friend, or much more – it is up to you to define the relationship that Ann or Arthur builds with Svetlana. Whether she reveals her past; how she came to join them on their adventure; and what it is exactly that she wants… it all depends on you.

Nicole on Steam!

SOTW act 2 beta and Heileen 3 on Steam

A dialogue in the infamous “bathhouse scene” between Althea and Chalassa, the yuri romance

Two big news this week, though as always if you follow me on the social networks you likely already know about them 🙂

Seasons Of The Wolf beta

First of all ToA: Seasons Of The Wolf ACT 2 is now ready to play/test. I can’t provide a direct link to the download since changes continuously (because of the updates!) but you can always find the latest news/link in my forums here:
http://winterwolves.net/viewforum.php?f=40

It was released the 12th July, so even early than my own set deadline of mid-July! During this week I’ve fixed and improved the game greatly, even if now I’m taking a break and I don’t plan to add any new features, because this game, gameplay wise, is already a HUGE LEAP FORWARD compared to Loren’s system 😉

I plan to resume working on ACT3 towards the end of month though, to have it ready for end of August or September. The final game very likely will be done around October/November (just a guess estimate though!).

Heileen 3 on Steam

The second news is that Heileen 3 is now available on Steam too. Like for Spirited Heart is the “complete version” so both male/female romances.

Previous customers that bought both versions can get a Steam key here as usual:
http://bestanimegames.com/steam/

That’s all for now, stay tuned for more news next week! 🙂
