Introducing Derulio! (Patreon)

Hey everyone, V.D.Y. here! It's my first time writing a post on the site, but expect to see more of me in the future for these Hereafter posts!

Today I want to introduce you to the player character for Hereafter:

Derulio De'Heart!

Derulio is an Antella from the land of Long Bridge, a location you may recall us talking about in a previous post. In Hereafter, you follow his journey as he leaves his home in Long Bridge to travel the world of Cancordis!

Deruilo is a brilliant inventor whose work leads to the discovery of a new technique in magic, Thaumaturgy! Unfortunately, magic is forbidden in Long Bridge, leading to Derulio's self-imposed exile from his home and the start of his journey. Along the way he'll meet some new friends who'll join him on his journey, including a familiar face from Homestead!

Take a look at this angle from Derulio's idle animation!

Twi has been doing some absolutely incredible work on all these animations, as you all saw a sneak peek of in our last post announcing Hereafter. They all look even better in game and I'm excited for you all to get a look!

Before you go, here's some bonus unused concepts from when we were figuring out Derulio's look!

I can't wait for all of you to experience Derulio's story and learn more about this silly inventor, I know you'll all end up loving him as much as I do!

Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to making more of these posts for all of you in the future!
