Concept art I did for the indie rhythm adventure game Overpass By Michael Bean, back in 2017 or 2018

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!

"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

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

Cattle Country is out now!

Described by many gaming outlets as a cross between Stardew Valley and Red Dead Redemption 2, Cattle Country is a farming Sim in the same vein as Stardew Valley with Roger providing his talents for an as of yet undisclosed role.

From the developers:

"Cattle Country straddles the saddle of cozy wholesome gaming and action-adventure. Serving up hours of the slice-of-life you’d expect on the frontier – including mining, fishing, crafting, and farming – along with deep-rooted Wild West Quests delivering stories of romance, cattle drives, bandits, and robberies."

So..... a weirdo right-winger tried claiming that game engines are woke.

Godot made a post joking about this by saying, "Apparently game engines are woke now? Well then, we won't complain. Show us your #Wokot games in the replies."

And people are... mad at that? So mad, in fact, that if you search "Godot" on YouTube, the caliber of videos you get would have you thinking they pulled something worse than Unity's runtime fee.

And then because people were pissy about it, the official account started blocking people (heaven forbid a company not associate itself with right-wind sympathizers and bigots). And now people are mad about that??

I'm so lost.

Like, whiny little alt-right trolls got what they deserved, and for some reason the FOSS community is freaking out and attacking Godot?
