A new year, and here comes new year goals! Let’s now see in detail what I plan (hope?) to achieve this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christine’s Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First of all, of course I’m going to finish Christine’s Care<\/a>. No matter how the Kickstarter did, when I start a project I always try to do my best to make a good product. And to be honest I didn’t think the game would turn out to be so big. It’s way bigger than some fantasy games I did before (like Hazel, for example).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, even At Your Feet had an average Kickstarter but then it sold very well on Steam – so it’s not like I have lost all hopes for this game, because I think it’s turning out very well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The estimate release is still Q1, maybe around end of February or March. More info coming soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thieves Of Dingirra<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
of course there’ll be many Hammam scenes in this game… \ud83d\ude09<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then, it will be Thieves Of Dingirra<\/a>‘s turn! The campaign will start in the next months (not sure exactly when yet, but will let you know). As you probably know, I’ve been working on this from time to time the whole past year, because it’s such a big game that requires a lot of time just for the base gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am at good point and I think by end of January or mid-February I could have the base “gameplay loop” done, and then I could start the crowdfunding with bonus goals to expand the story, maybe a new elf race, etc. The map took very long to make (also because I’m using Ren’Py, with C++ would be easier, but I want to stick with the tools I know). It’s still work in progress, but it’s turning out very nice (and not too slow which was my main fear):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New male protagonist game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve also started brainstorming a new game, this time featuring a male protagonist. Now, before all the yuri fans scream in despair, hear me out\u2014I haven\u2019t made a boy\/girl-focused game in ages<\/em>! I think the last one was Bionic Heart<\/em> back in 2009! Of course, I\u2019ve created games with all romance combinations, like the big RPGs or Roommates<\/em>, but a game solely centered around a male protagonist? It\u2019s been such<\/em> a long time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you ask\u2014yes, it will also have a comedic setting. I know it might not be a game for everyone, but it\u2019s something I\u2019ve wanted to try for a while, especially since some fans have been asking for it repeatedly. (Plus, I\u2019ve heard it\u2019s the kind of game that tends to sell better on Steam. Ahem, I do need to keep the lights on, so forgive me!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll always keep doing yuri games and other combos, but I want to try “new things”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, the sneak peek I can offer is some of the love interests of the game (yes it’s a new artist). What do you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, there are many exciting projects I\u2019m planning to tackle this year. My main goals include finishing Christine\u2019s Care<\/em>, then launching the campaign for Thieves of Dingirra<\/em>, and hopefully completing it. On top of that, I\u2019d love to reveal the new boy\/girl game and even run a campaign for it as well. Bonus goal would be even finish that new game (but that will be hard, maybe towards end of the year) and do a campaign for At Your Feet 2 (yep! I’m planning on doing a sequel with different characters though).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I can achieve all that, finish 3 games and do 3 crowdfunding campaigns, I\u2019d consider 2025 a fantastic year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoyed the holidays and wish you an amazing 2025 ahead!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
