I&#8217;d say that if everything goes according to plan, a Q1 release could definitely be possible ! Just don&#8217;t expect it in February, more like March!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ToA: Thieves of Dingirra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/616x353.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"616\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/616x353.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4583\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/616x353.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/616x353-300x172.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a game that was &#8220;on hold&#8221; by 3-4 years, but this year I really want to try finishing it. It&#8217;s basically a game telling the story of the events happening in Dingirra after Seasons of The Wolf story, and it should feature a very different gameplay, a sort of strategy\/simulation game (maybe with a bit of RPG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing this, I coded a random NPC generator and designed several gameplay elements, but I still need to find a way to code the main gameplay loop in a way that&#8217;s hopefully fun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have already ideas written, but actually implementing them, balancing, testing, etc it&#8217;s a whole different thing. Anyway, I hope to do the crowdfunding for this game, probably Q2 and then try to release it in early Q4 (I definitely want to avoid the crazy sales\/fests period this time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I plan to make more posts in the next months to introduce the setting, the characters, love interests, etc!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TFTU: Lilith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Lilith-sprite.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1019\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Lilith-sprite-1019x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Lilith-sprite-1019x1024.jpg 1019w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Lilith-sprite-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Lilith-sprite-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Lilith-sprite-768x772.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Lilith-sprite-624x627.jpg 624w, https:\/\/www.winterwolves.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Lilith-sprite.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1019px) 100vw, 1019px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly this game won&#8217;t likely be out this year. I am at good point, I wrote a long draft of about 2\/3 of the story, but that needs to be reviewed and tweaked a lot. The preliminary art is also taking a looong time because artist is working on other projects as well (so just enjoy Lilith, the main character for now). In summary, I really don&#8217;t think will be out this year. Maybe, I&#8217;ll be able to do the crowdfunding, but not the final release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other secret games in the works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a few other games that could decide to try finishing this year, but following my new rule of &#8220;never talk about a game unless it&#8217;s at good point&#8221; I won&#8217;t make any names. But like the past year with Save the World, there could be some surprises (of course, smaller titles, nothing big since Thieves of Dingirra is already a BIG game!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy New Year to everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And so the 2024 begins!
