Hello! i have not updated this in a While, so its right about time!

Here's a few MAJOR additions that got added in the past:

* Split Sessions, allowing you to work on multiple files within one canvas

* an Android port, also working with pressure sensetivity!

* Multiwindow support

* a Barrage of New Formats

* URL import alongside Lospec support!

Please enjoy!

I proudly present you : an in-development pixel art editor! Largely oriented at tilesets and charsets, Voidsprite supports custom-size grids alongside resize-canvas-by-grid-size and resize-canvas-by-grid-count, alongside numerous (and growing with future update) supported image formats. Please check it out, and leave any suggestions or feedback on the itch.io page! As it is a FOSS project, check it out on github also!

Resonance in Orbit: DEMO out now!

Welcome aboard The Harbinger!  

We hope your stay is pleasant. Please find the safety manual in your complimentary first aid kit.

Resonance in Orbit is a romance/scifi visual novel where you take on the role of interpreter during a high-stakes peace conference.

If negotiations go smoothly lives will be saved, and not unimportantly: this is going to be a huge boost for your rank in LexiCorp. Promotion, here you come. 

Spending a few months squeezed into close quarters with some crew you don't know is a small sacrifice in comparison.

Except-

When you get to the rendezvous point things don't quite go as planned. And you know what they say: 

the road to intergalactic warfare is paved with good intentions...

play it here!

This demo features:

☆ A thrilling sci-fi story set in the stars

☆ Choices that matter; have your actions and relationships with others shape the story

☆ Choose your name and pronouns, and choose the appearance of your MC

☆ A diverse LGBTQ+ cast

☆ Collectible CGs

☆ A fun chat system

Content warnings: fantasy violence, strong language, screenshakes, sexual themes and language.

Celine thought her life as an American office worker was mundane, but after a fatal accident (yes, it was Truck-kun), she wakes up as an extra character in her favorite tragedy web novel. Expected to die early as part of the protagonist's backstory, Celine defies fate and survives her death event, causing a butterfly effect that catapults her into the role of the Saintess of the Golden Bow. Joined by an unforgettable cast of characters including the Valiant Knight Levi, the enigmatic Mad Prince Noah, and the devout High Priest Elijah you must lead a quest to defeat the Demon Queen and bring peace to the realm. Each choice you make weaves a complex web of romance, friendship, and sacrifice, offering a deeply personal and replayable journey.

Finally! After 4 years of working on this passion project I’m beyond excited to launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund the rest of the game. Up until now, I’ve poured every penny I earned into making this dream a reality and honestly? Best money I’ve ever spent 😆 I hope you’ll agree!

You can try the  demo! It features 4 hours of gameplay, covering the Common Route and the main twist of the story.

If you love otome games, isekai plots and handsome boys, I’d be thrilled if you checked it out. Let me know what you think!

✦ Play Demo on Steam ✦ Check out the Kickstarter!

Hi friends,

The demo for Resonance in Orbit is out!! Waaa!!

You can check it out here for those of you who haven't done so yet! I highly recommend browsing the other entries for the josei jam and the otome jam as well. it looks like there's a lot of great projects in there this year!

Thank you so much to everyone who has already played and/or left a kind comment <3! Receiving feedback and hearing what others think is one of the most rewarding parts of making games. I really appreciate it! thank you!! 💖

I'll be taking a break from dev work this month (and playing some of the jam entries in my spare time😌). As always Patreon will continue running with previews and side stories.

RiO was very fun to work on. I tried to do a lot of new things, and I'm really pleased with how it all came together. I'm looking forward to working on the outline for this story and putting my beloved problem children into more Situations.

See you next month! Hope you're all staying cool for summer and drinking plenty of water <3

much love,

qk

After four years of development, we're finally ready to show Transparent Games' first commercial project, "Saintess of the Golden Bow", to the public. The 1-hour-long demo is completely free to play and shows the beginning of Celeste's story as the Saintess of the Golden Bow.

"Saintess of the Golden Bow" is a project that's very close to my heart. I'm a huge fan of webtoons, especially "Villains are Destined to Die", "I Failed to Oust the Villain" and "Father I Don't Want This Marriage". I wanted to tell the story of a girl that is also a webtoon/webnovel fan, dreaming of what it would be like to be isakai-ed into a fantasy world and have hot guys fall in love with you. 

And she does! After a fateful encounter with Truck-kun, she gets reincarnated in the web novel she's a fan of - "Saint of the Golden Bow". Only that she's not anybody significant, she's just an extra in the main character's backstory - until she changes her new reality and it's her who becomes the Saintess. 

She steals the spotlight from Levi, the book's Saint. Soon she's thrown into going on a journey to defeat the Demon Queen with her Loyal Knight Levi, the Mad Prince Noah and the High Priest Elijah. Whom will she fall in love with?

I'd like to thank my whole team for being with me on my own journey of creating this visual novel. There's still a long road ahead of us - we want to develop the story into a 300k-word otome visual novel. If you want to support us, please subscribe to our patreon or back the kickstarter in the future!

On the Patreon we will be showing WIPs of art, exclusive illustrations and short stories. We also plan to, starting August, release Extended Demo builds first on patreon, and then to the public. We want to show the whole Common Route as an Extended Demo - so about 4 hours of gameplay.

I hope you'll have as much fun with the demo as we had making it. Saintess is really a labor of love, and I'm happy to share that love with you.

I wish everybody all the best,

Anna 'Lavinnia' Kończak

"Three pillars" "the secret to game dev" "this is what no one tells you about game dev" etc etc

Y'all need to accept the real only true answer to perfect game design is running down to your basement at 3 am and feeding the goblin that lives there rent free six quarters from your pockets minted in 2001 and the goblin, and only the goblin can then tell you the greatest ideas for game dev this is the only way to form good game ideas trust
