- Archeleaus Academy 270
Time to give you all a quick update on what's been going on. I kinda disappeared after the last update dropped. Sorry about that. ^^"
First, a short recap of what I've been up to. If you just want to vote on the poll, please check below.
I have enjoyed a wonderful Christmas this year. Being a creator on Patreon, I usually feel guilty for taking time off, but this time I got to really enjoy the holidays with my family and relax. I even got to play Eternum. I freaking love that game.
Taking some time off has already greatly helped me think of some new ideas for the next game I want to make. I think I've narrowed it down to three ideas (I'll link them below). I really want to go all out this year. I just need a little bit of a direction and this is where you guys can help!
If all goes according to plan, I hope to finish Camp Mourning Wood in June this year (which seems appropriate considering the game takes place in June). However by that point I hope to have already begun work on the next project, so that there isn't such a big gap between games.
That means getting all of my artists up to speed, writing a game design document, working out systems and so so SO much more. Now I can start running around like a headless chicken or I can ask you guys what you'd like to see next. So here's a breakdown.
Genie Trainer
Concept: You play as the former Head Counselor of Camp Mourning Wood as he arrives in Archeleaus. Here he meets a Genie Girl lost in the desert. Together they must learn the endure the harsh conditions, build up a caravan of survivors and uncover the mysterious past of the Genies, the Kingdom of Ash and the myth of Wishing Magic.
Themes: Sexual Training, town building, resource management. Focused on Main Character and Main female lead (similar to games like Orange Trainer, Princess Trainer, etc.)
The Roles we Play
You move back to your old home town and find that people have gone mysteriously missing, including your estranged mother. The mystery turns supernatural when you are dragged into a fantasy world that seems to obey the same rules as the game your mother used to work on. Now you and your crew of cute girls need to switch between the real world and different fantasy worlds to uncover clues on what happened to the missing townfolks and what part your mother has to play in all of it.
Themes: Light on gameplay mechanics, mostly focused on story & relationships, different realms (sci-fi, fantasy, western, pirate, shogun etc.), harem / romance
Archeleaus Academy
You are invited to come study in our world's first magical academy. Here you will take lessons, explore the (seemingly endless) castle, learn spells, hunt for secrets, make friends and try to figure out why a demonic force known as the WAR is haunting the darker reaches of the castle and how to stop it.
Themes: School setting, learn spells, exploration, visiting other (magical) worlds, getting into mischief with your friends, harem but with optional romance route
If none of these three options resonates with you, then please drop me a comment below. I'm always curious to hear what you guys have to say. Suggestions are welcome!
And with that, this post has gone on for long enough. I hope you all had wonderful holidays and ate some good food. More posts from me soon =)
