Blood of the Living - Demo 1

Hello everyone!

As promised, today I have released the first public demo for Blood of the Living, sequel to Fields of Asphodel.

You can play here (moody.ink).

Or here (Dashingdon).

The demo contains the character creator from FoA, plus a basic 'save creation' system, so that at least some of the flavor text in BotL will reflect your FoA playthrough of choice.

Keep in mind, of course, that only playthroughs that resulted in the Underworld Ending (those where the PC chose to spend half time or more in the Underworld), will be carried into the sequel. The Olympus Ending is a complete story as-is, and the sequel will not continue from it.

Chapters One and Two of the game are both included in the demo, to a total of approximately 120,000 words.

Features:

Tone indicators are making a comeback. You'll have to turn them on from the stats screen, as they are off by default.

A new feature that allows you to more permanently set touch preferences is also available from the stats screen. By default, the game will still periodically inquire whether your inclinations or aversions regarding physical touch have changed, but if you'd rather just set this and forget it, the new option may be for you.

NPC initiative also returns, and is on by default. More information on all these settings can be found in the stats screen, if you're not sure what I'm talking about.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the demo!

Some art I did for Fields of Asphodel from @chrysanthemumgames 🥺

I was the anon that asked for descriptions that one time, I tried to follow them but if i forgot and did some bits wrong I promise it wasnt on purpose ^-^. I referenced the official colour palettes for the colours, but I used the markers I had on hand + some layering to try and get as close as I could

Drawn in my sketchbook, then scanned and printed to colour with markers, and then scanned again to add the background digitally :)

i have 1 more art for FoA to post later

Blood of the Living - May Progress

Hello, everyone!

I made good progress on BotL's fifth chapter in May, adding another 50k words to it, for a total so far of 60,000. I have three more scenes to go before early access can start, so I'm estimating public release on that one will be sometime in early July. My estimated word count for it is somewhere between 90,000-100,000 words, so we'll see how that shakes out in the end.

Other than that, there's not a lot to say, really. It was a very steady, productive month, and I'm hoping June will be the same. I've got a big move coming in July, so the more I can accomplish before that eats most of my time for a while, the happier I'll be, I think. I'm still aiming to finish Chapters Six and Seven by the end of the year, and it feels like I'm reasonably on track towards that.

I hope everyone has a great June. :)

"It's all right," he says softly. "It's done. No one can take you away now. Not without my being able to take you back." You swallow thickly, and it has nothing to do with the taste of fruit.
