So while I assure you that it will be out, I decided to start this new RPG to give something to play sooner to my roleplay fans!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/ninim.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1395\" alt=\"ninim\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/ninim.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/ninim.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/ninim-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>A black\/white sketch of Ninim<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The game starts in Ninim, a village in the Northern region of Aravorn (the fantasy world where Loren and other games of mine take place). It&#8217;s a cold, freezing land, where snow and ice are present most time of the year. It&#8217;s inhabited by snow elves, elves that have white\/light gray hairs and eyes, and are very skilled Rangers, Hunters or Druids (the three playable classes as main character).<\/p>\n<p>There two siblings, Althea &amp; Shea are living together with their father Morran, who raised them when their mother went missing years ago. They live a frugal life, trying to earn some money and food through hunting.<\/p>\n<p>One day, one of the two siblings (will vary depending who you choose to play) finds a wolf puppy and decides to take care of her. But this decision will lead to a disastrous chain of events later in the game&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Game info<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, this game won&#8217;t be as big as Loren. There will be one romance for each sexual preference, and the story will be overall shorter. The party also will have less members, 8 characters in total. The battles system is a modified version from Loren&#8217;s one. It will still be 6 vs 6, but the layout will change from top\/down to left to right, also showing the characters waist-up.<\/p>\n<p>This is possible because the game will use the new resolution of 1280&#215;720 pixels, allowing more space for bigger sprites, more menu\/icons and so on. It will also be designed from start to be playable on touch devices (will probably be available for Android some months after it&#8217;s out for desktops).<\/p>\n<p>The game will span into the four seasons (that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s called Seasons Of The Wolf) and the party will have to travel also to far away lands, so it won&#8217;t take place only in the frozen Northern Wastelands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Cast<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll reveal the various characters of the game in the coming weeks. I can say that there&#8217;s a good variety, and some interesting classes to play, like Jariel, the Bard! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jariel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1391\" alt=\"jariel\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jariel-1024x576.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jariel-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jariel-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/jariel.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Jariel is the GxB love interest (straight male for those not familiar with the terminology)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course there are also eccentric characters like Rowinda, the Warlock:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/rowinda.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1392\" alt=\"rowinda\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/rowinda-1024x576.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/rowinda-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/rowinda-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/rowinda.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Unfortunately, Rowinda doesn&#8217;t want to date anybody!
