I need you to know I am not asking this to be a jackass, but are there any plans to add a lady romance option or two to the game later? It looks like a great game with cool characters and an awesome world, but I often find that as a lesbian I get one option at best for these things. I am sorry if this isn't a great question. It's cool if this game just isn't for me, but I like what I am seeing from your style so far and would like to feel like I had more of a path for me, you know?

Sorry again. As I said, it seems like a lovely game

Hi, anon!

I don’t think you are coming across as a jackass at all, haha. What you’re asking is completely valid, and I’m glad the game looks good enough for you to have this much interest in it :) What I’m about to say is going to be long, mostly because I don’t want to misrepresent myself and my process, so sorry for the long response!

Unfortunately, I don’t anticipate being able to add more feminine presenting options to the game. It might help to explain the process of how Alaris has come to be to give some context as to why!

Alaris is a game that I started on a whim while in PhD school. It’s my first experience designing characters, drawing at a fuller capacity, creating a story, and programming. Basically, I had no experience in any aspect of creating a game when I started a year ago. Because of that, Alaris is mostly a game for me — both in taste and convenience.

I played to what I thought was feasible for me to do and what I enjoyed, meaning, regarding taste, it’s a fantasy game with a somewhat customizable character and romance options that are aligned to my personal tastes. Regarding convenience, if I’m being frank, I simply am bad at drawing feminine presenting characters because I don’t have as much experience drawing the anatomy for it 3 As you can imagine, creating a game as a hobby is already a large workload as is, especially given the scope of Alaris at this point. Forcing myself to also learn anatomy on top of that would hinder the progress I’m able to make for the game in a huge way and could potentially kill my motivation for it.

Alaris is a passion project I work on as a hobby and is my first game, so I didn’t want to burden myself with trying to do too much. Rather than make a “perfect” game that would cater to a lot of people and audiences, I stuck with a game that I would like and be happy with as a first-time creator. It’s fortunately grown in scope and audience far more than I would’ve anticipated, but that doesn’t change the fact that I work on it alone and so am limited in what I’m realistically able to add to the game :’(

With the stretch goals and six love interests already slated for the game, I don’t think I would be able to add an additional feminine presenting love option on top of that. Maybe in the future, if I make another game, it’s something I can revisit and implement from the beginning, but again, it’s not something I can realistically guarantee since it depends on my abilities. I hope that answers your question and gives context as to why there are no feminine presenting options in the game. I’m very sorry that Alaris may not be the game for you, but it’s very flattering that it looked interesting enough for you to ask <3

Off the top of my head, I do know other indie “fantasy” romance visual novels that have feminine presenting options. I’m not sure if you’ve played them already, but some ones I can remember that are quite amazing are:

Herotome by @herotome (only Prologue out right now, but it’s in development and is a beautiful and fun game. superhero romance)

Andromeda Six by Wanderlust Games (releases in chapters. sci-fi romance)

When the Night Comes by Lunaris Games (completed. fantasy supernatural romance)

Imperial Grace by @synstoria (demo out. not quite fantasy but has similar vibes. political romance)

Na Daoine Maithe or The Good People by @moiraimyths (demo out. fantasy, fae, political romance)

First Bite by First Bite Games (completed. fantasy vampire romance)

OBSCURA — Chapter One: The Descent

Rotten Raccoons is proud to announce that the first chapter of our episodic story, OBSCURA, is now out on itch.io!

There's a marketplace under the mountain where anything can be bought and sold. Visitors wear masks to become faceless strangers. It's home to the unscrupulous, the outcast, and the desperate.

You're one of the desperate.

Strangers with their own secrets and ambitions can show you ways through the market. They'll guide you to your goal, but don't trust them to have your best interests at heart. 

Choose the protagonist's name, pronouns, and mask.

Two mysterious love interests (for now).

Over 30k words.

A dark, mature story with many ways to fail.

Timed choices! Or turn them off for an easier game.

Original music by Cajsa.

Use the default, OpenDyslexic, or Atkinson Hyperlegible font for ease of reading.

See you under the mountain...

Not to sound like an old fart here but my philosophy about video games is like. A kid living out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere with no internet access for miles should be able to purchase a game from walmart, take that game home, put it in their console, and play the whole game with all of its features and the only thing lack of internet affects is the inability to play online with others. Nothing else. They shouldn't be missing entire chunks of the game becuase they can't download a patch. The game shouldn't be borderline empty or unplayable without a patch.

Now that I have finally seen the official Wayhaven Chronicles' artworks, I'm in the middle of making some modifications in my drawings about Nate' skintone (I think I drew him with a too golden skin undertone).

So I will post again all my previous Nate's drawings once I change his skintone. Here are the first redo !

A Fun Little Tumblr Game

EARLY ACCESS STEAM LINK

EARLY ACCESS ITCH.IO < – I keep 95% of the profit

I want to see how well this does! For every like this particular cost nets, I will divulge some fun little factoids about the visual novel “Women of Xal”’s production throughout the years. But wait, there’s more!

I will be keeping score of how people interact with this post! Certain actions net this smol fandom group points, which will be auto redeemed once milestones are crossed by you lovely fans. It’ll make sense once you see the point system!

POINT SYSTEM

For every like: 1 Point

For every reblog: 2 Points

For every new follow: 3 Points

For every reblog, ask, and/or reply with commentary discussing what you like about WoX (Early Access or generally) : 5 Points (10 points max!)

Join the fan Discord server for the PTverse: 10 Points

For any fun “essay” on the game and/or its characters/plots/themes: 15 Points (Be sure to tag me and/or “Women of Xal” so I can count it!)

For every copy of Women of Xal sold on Steam or Itch.io from now until the 22nd of August 2021: 20 Points

Silly Bonus: For every $1 you give to my Ko-fi page: 2 Points :’3

REWARDS

150 Points: Raffle for 1 Steam key for Women of Xal

300 Points: I’ll let the character Velvet back on Tumblr for a day

500 Points: Raffle for Steam Key. I tell everyone the next big project(s)

The rules are VERY simple: No bots, no takebacks!, no negativity, and most importantly, this is a team effort. When you earn a point, everyone does! To be incredibly clear, that means if one person gets 3 points, and another gets 2, then the fandom has 5 points in total. 145 points away from the first milestone. The rewards above are given to all who follow my blog, at the same time, and cannot be subtracted. If for some wild reason the likes outnumber the interesting factoids of the game’s development, I’ll convert the rest into points (5 likes in the surplus group = 1 point) What fans can vote on will be determined by the team. Though you can always pitch ideas.

There is no clear deadline; it’s whenever I feel like not doing this anymore. However, I will say that I will only reblog this two times for timezones. We are 2,500+ fans strong. I know we can do this! >3

Thank you for reading, and LET’S HECKING GO!

I have a request. There are some stressful things going on in life at the moment and it's looking like my family and I will be taking some major financial hits.

If you played Crème de la Crème or Blood Money and enjoyed them, please consider rating and reviewing on whatever platform you use! It boosts visibility on storefronts massively, and hopefully improves sales, which literally help pay the bills.

I feel weird about asking but if you do want to support with honest ratings or reviews that would be absolutely amazing.

Thank you!
