Ouroboros Preview (Patreon)

Two quick items of business, then the preview I'll be posting on my blog later today:

1) This is definitely happening. I've been doing lots of finishing/testing, since that's where my inspiration has been lately, so I'm sure the game will be ready for you guys as soon as the month is over. I'm at the "overwhelmed by self-doubt" stage of the creative process, though. -_- Several elements of the game have to work in several different ways simultaneously, and I worry I didn't pull it off.

2) There's another Patreon contest on ULMF. Vote your conscience, obviously, but I wouldn't mind if some of you guys sent a vote my way. No log-in required, this time, unless it happens when you submit your vote:

The Preview:

I'm happy to announce the side game I created while I was on my break! Patrons got a full report of some of the other work I did, and you'll be getting a schedule of releases in a few days, but for now I wanted to spotlight one of the things I've finished as proof that I haven't just been goofing off. =P

Ouroboros

A kingdom is under attack. A princess is in peril. Our brave hero just needs to rescue her and save the day... right? OF COURSE! THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON HERE, GO SAVE THE PRINCESS!

Ouroboros is an action-adventure with RPG elements. As you can see in the above screenshot, you have the ability to jump. You may also note that this one was made in MV; while I will keep my current projects in VX Ace, I did want to play around with the new version. Though it doesn't have a rich set of resources yet, it does have some fun possibilities:

I've included a variety of features in an effort to make the game feel different from the usual RPG. As much as I love the genre, I get a lot of it between The Last Sovereign and Noxian Nights. This side project was an effort to make a different flavor, and hopefully you guys will find it refreshing as well.

The combat system is grind-free: there aren't any levels at all, your strength comes primarily from your equipment and tactical choices. Though you can't see it in that screenshot, you have the ability to change your equipment at any time in combat. You can see MV's new side battle mode, which is fun.

Of course, the game has plenty of adult content as well. ^-^ Throughout the game you'll find six different sex scenes, and I may expand that number later.

I'll give a full schedule later, but this game will be released the usual way: patrons will get to play it first, then I'll release it publicly. But while I'm doing that, I'll be diving back into TLS - while I was glad to take a break, I really found myself missing it. See you soon with more updates!
