It's not a mockup this time. This is really it! The game! I mean, a tiny bit of it 🙃

As you can see, I've implemented a new UI, programmed Blair to sit in her place, all the characters here have various facial expressions and they even blink!

In the meantime, I'm drawing other side characters and working on the script.

It's really rewarding to see all the graphics and code transform into an actual game 😌 P.S. Sorry for the video quality. Tumblr is messing it up, and I don't know what to do about it. Hopefully, the text will be readable.

Hi! Sorry for the long pause in updates. I just wanted to focus on work for a while, do some programming, paint some sprites and not worry about social media.

Social media is not my thing and posting costs me a disproportionate amount of effort. Partly because I don't write in my native language and partly because I'm just really socially awkward 🤷‍♀️ But I want to reassure you, the project is being continuously developed 🔥

In addition, I'd like to thank everyone who was interested enough to follow me. I'm very, very grateful, really motivated and I hope you'll enjoy the game when it's done! Have a nice day everyone! ❤️

P.S. I'll post some sneak peeks of what I've done soon!

Of course, instead of coding or painting missing assets, I'm redrawing Caleb again... He's my nightmare and my beloved child in one 🤷‍♀️ ...though he looks cute, isn't he? >w<

And the last of our love interests - Alex 💜

Not a love interest this time, but an equally important character. Blair's friend and bar manager - Sam 💖

I haven't posted much lately because I had a few days summer trip, but I'm back and ready to work! Sorry for disappearing before I introduced all the characters to you. Let me fix this! Meet our next Love and Thirst character - Lawrence 💛

I had this idea of making backgrounds in 3d so I could quickly take different shots of the same place. It was a fair amount of work for me, but I think it was worth it! Here's a second shot of the bar. How do you like it?

What do you think of behind-the-scenes posts like the one about Caleb's design? Do you like such content? I can sometimes share some WIPs if you want. Let me know!

The Divine Speaker Extended Demo is now available on Android

Grab it here!

Note: We didn't plan to release this at all on Android... but people kept asking. Here you go!

Another note: This hasn't been tested, and probably won't be patched at all unless something is broken completely. For those that couldn't play on PC, this is for you!

[loveandthirst]

And the second love interest - Dylan 💚 I know these character descriptions are very brief, but I don't want to spoil your enjoyment of reading the story by yourself 😭

Demo is up on steam with a nice update adding some features like the MC customisation and achievements! 🥳

>> Download/wishlist on steam <<

You can also see the full devlog. (And since steam takes the multi language, a french version is available for my fellows baguettes ✨)

***************

Imperial Grace is a otome/visual novel in an invented mediaval world, including:

👑 A super badass customisable MC

🧡 LGBT+ romances with enticing characters

🔀 Difficult meaningful choices (and the possibility to have people who bother you killed 😈)

[loveandthirst]

So far, Caleb was the most problematic character for me. I designed rest of them quite fast, in two tries at most. But not this guy...

You may wonder, "Why is that? He looks just like a typical blonde anime guy." and I have no answer for you. I really don't know why he was such a struggle 🤷‍♀️ In the end, I hope you like him! He's a good boy... I think...

But back to more pleasant topics. Get ready for the next love interest! He will show up tomorrow! ✨

Also, I'm not sure if it shows, but English isn't my native language, so it's possible that you'll come across some strange phrases in my posts, but don't worry - the game will have a proofreading done by a native. I care about this game and I don't want language to be any barrier.

Our first love interest - Caleb 💙

And one more thing! I'd love to share all the characters details with you, but I can't! 😭 For example, I can't tell you if the character is a vampire or not because that would spoil the story and it's best to figure it out yourself.

[loveandthirst]

I'm just preparing our first love interest character sheet and just want to warn you things may still change as the script is still being written 🤷‍♀️
