I don&#8217;t want to reveal too much about the story, since involves supernatural. Also, the full game title (or the subtitle if you prefer) is longer&#8230; but if I posted it now, I would give away some of the surprise. So for now I&#8217;ll just call it &#8220;Love Bites&#8221; \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some more information: it&#8217;s going to have a classic dating sim gameplay, with a calendar, several places\/activities to do, and of course love interests. It&#8217;s going to have both male and female protagonists, and have both straight and homosexual romances. There will be 2 male and 2 female love interests and you&#8217;ll be able to romance all of them with the male or female main character.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Are you already excited? I am! In the next weeks I&#8217;ll introduce the cast of the game. For now, here is a preview of the two main protagonists:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2610 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/love-bites-protagonists-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/love-bites-protagonists-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/love-bites-protagonists-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/love-bites-protagonists-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/love-bites-protagonists.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yes two red-heads \ud83d\ude09 The cute dog Kaitlyn is carrying is Nick (even Brandon can carry him of course).

It still needs to be all scripted, coded, it&#8217;s missing some music, etc so it won&#8217;t be out shortly, but very likely will be the next game to be out after C14 Dating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I also finished the last part of the Queen Of Thieves &#8220;robbery missions&#8221; and asked artist to do some tweaks to the sprites. I need to review all the scenes now, integrate them in the game (so if you visit the blacksmith with the right characters, you&#8217;ll meet Mary-Ann, etc) and make note of some missing backgrounds. Still a lot of work to do but having finished the coding is a big milestone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I also got to play a first beta candidate of C14 Dating and it&#8217;s looking AWESOME. I am really eager to start the preorders which might happen very soon, even this weekend, so follow me on social media or read the forums to know more \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Currently I&#8217;m looking at this release schedule (which of course could totally change based on cosmic-events, as you well know):<br \/>\n&#8211; end of this month\/next month: C14 Dating beta<br \/>\n&#8211; April\/May: Heirs &amp; Graces beta<br \/>\n&#8211; June\/July: Queen Of Thieves beta<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">will be fun in a few months to go back to this post, and see what REALLY happened \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m very proud to announce that I brought together two awesome people: Rebecca (the artist behind my early titles like Heileen and Bionic Heart) and Miakoda (PSCD writer) to make a new game! \ud83d\ude42 I am quite excited about it.
