Aside from my blood and remnants of my soul, the New Alaris Demo contains:

A Customizable Protagonist: Choose your name and pronouns (including a whole new Expanded Pronouns system)

Personality: Shape your personality with four different traits and watch how the world interacts with it. Punch people, scare people, live your life how You Want!

Partial Voice Acting: Hear the characters come to life through the talented cast for the LIs

Updated Art Assets: All new sprite, CG, prologue, background, and GUI art (basically Everything looks Different).

If you played the old demo, the new one is Very Different! While the general story is the same, many features have been revamped to create a New Player Experience.

❝ Not all mysteries... ❞  

Some mysteries, beyond man, have no logic, have no fate. In the face of such, keep your wits close, but do not trust them.  Trust not yourself, nor your senses. Your time, nor your wit.

For where time has stopped, but its flow has no end.  For when passion calls, but hate runs deep.

Heed this warning, and do not wait.  For laws of nature and laws of man.  Have no logic, and have no weight."

❝ ...can be explained by the logic of man. ❞

Divine Flower Mage! ✨

I'm not even done with all 12 gods yet but I'm already starting to redesign some of them. 💀 Still, I like Clover's redesign. More details! AND A SKULL!

And when I was starting to put the plot together I realized that I NEEDED a skull mask for them. Because when I was writing how MC meets them, they look like a scary predator peering down at them. Clover's just covered in leaves and all MC can see is a skull with glowing green eyes. Good times, good times. 😌

I was contemplating putting flowers in their hair.... But.... Clover would eat them, so there's no point! 😞 Flowers are Clover's favorite food. When they're growing fruits and veggies, they have to actively restrain themself from eating the flowers before they can bloom into food. 🤭

Additional distress, when Clover makes food for people they'd totally add flowers as "dessert". People just assume the flower's there to look nice until Clover gets sad and this happens:

Clover: Aren't you going to finish...?

MC: ...I did?

Clover: *on the verge of tears* You didn't eat the flowers I gave you... I picked the best ones.

MC, guilt tripped: I- I'll eat them. *inhale* I... saved the best for last... *hesitantly eating flowers*

Clover: *happy, ignorant that mortals don't have flowers in their diet*

MC: *internally wincing through the flowers bitter taste but smiling for Clover*

Alaris: Fantasy Romance Visual Novel

Not all mysteries can be explained by the logic of man. Some mysteries, beyond man, have no logic, have no fate.

In the face of such, keep your wits close, but do not trust them. Trust not yourself, nor your senses. Your time, nor your wit.

For where time has stopped, but its flow has no end. For when passion calls, but hate runs deep.

Heed this warning, and do not wait. For laws of nature and laws of man. Have no logic, and have no weight.

_______________________________________

Enter a World of Magic–of Fae and Dragon.

Long ago, dragons sacrificed their kind to protect life on this planet. Thanks to their noble deed, life has continued in the world of Alaris. In fact, it has prospered. Humans, beings once unable to use magic, have now dethroned dragons as the strongest in the world. With dragon energy at their fingertips, humans live in a utopia ruled by peace.

However, not all is as it seems… What forces are lurking under the surface, threatening to expose truths that have been long forgotten and disrupt this utopia?

Uncover the history that’s never been told but is ever important to the problems faced today. Explore a world that’s always existed, just on the outskirts of your awareness. Discover your true self and purpose, and see if there’s someone willing to accept and love you for whatever that may be.

Moon mage???

Moon mage???

I've already signed up✨🤭😚🌕🌙

Also, I totally understand how you feel!💕 I'm working on my own books. Like- actual novels I want to publish! And there are plenty of times when I've looked at a manuscript and said "nah. Garbage!" Or I compare my writing to someone else's and I get disheartened that I'll never be good enough. But then again, I'm thinking of all the feelings the idea brought me when I first came up with it and it helps me strengthen my resolve again. It reminds me of what my creation really is as an individual and not when I'm comparing it. Also, like you said in a Scorpio fic once: "There's no ONE correct way to do things." And I fully agree.💕💕💕 Sometimes I feel like my plots and novels are childish or laughable, because some other author writes action, with swordfights, betrayals and bargains and then I'm over there....... With my sickeningly sweet romance.... That's okay. Verity is here to make the world colorful.💖💖 And also... These things are a part of me. They are a home to me. So why should it not be a home to someone else as well?😉✨ I believe you should keep going forward and make your dreams come true! There will always be people who love what you do!💕💕💕 Have a wonderful day/night!

(I know for a fact that there are people who will love my Ichthys-dude in my novel😚😉)

I needed to keep this in my drafts for a hot minute so I could let the message settle into my bones. 🙏🏻 I'm going at a slow and steady pace with all my work right now and I'll keep going forward no matter how slow or how fast I choose to go at any given time.

And I have 12 mages that I'm working out. But I started working harder on my moon mage after I found you who loves moons and I realized someone was bound to love him! (Especially after I found out you liked Levi from AOT because he's literally a short lil love-child of Scorpio and Levi. 😝)

I just finished his color pallet. I'm not sure if I'm sticking with these colors, but I'm vibing right now. The holographic colored accents are a reference to his home. He's a fae and I liked to think that Fae liked to wear colorful things. But after his human girlfriend died he elected to wear darker colors with a minimum of bright fae colors.

With and without his cloak:

His name is Luan and his powers are weird and supernatural; He can manipulate life, gravity, and other cosmic abilities. His magic type is associated with the moon because of the mysterious nature of the moon and the night, this coincides with the strangeness of a moon mages powers.

As a fae he does have wings that look like space dust coming out from behind him, but he can choose whether or not they're present with his powers.

Here's a few extra picrews/a sketch I made to concept him:
