FEB 1, 2023: KICKSTARTER FOR THE GOOD PEOPLE (NA DAOINE MAITHE) HAS ENDED!
Thank you to our 776 backers for allowing us to bring this project to life, and reach our side stories stretch goal! We hope that you love what we have in store! Stay tuned, fateful friends!
Tumblr media
The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is a lore-rich and choice-driven historical fantasy visual novel inspired by Irish mythology and Celtic folklore. Play as a tenant farmer from mid-19th century Ireland, whose path becomes inexplicably entwined in fairy affairs after getting robbed by the roadside and lured into the mythic and war-torn world of Tír na nÓg: A once unified land, now divided into the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Will you escape and return home with your stolen belongings? Or does fate have something else in mind?
Our Full Game will Feature:
Six Character Routes: There will be six character routes in total, each one exploring the individual stories of our diverse cast of Love Interests (LIs)! There are two men, two women, and two non-binary folk to choose from. Half of our cast is aspec, as well!
Secret Story Route: If you play through all six character routes, you'll unlock the secret story route! It's designed to tie up the broader narrative aspects of the game, and you can choose which character route is "canon" to your play through!
Flexible MC: Choose your preferred name and pronouns (including neo pronouns) and romance whomever you please! (We even have a stretch goal to customize MC's sprite appearance, too!)
Platonic Options: Not into romance, or don't want to romance them all? Not to worry! All routes can be played platonically.
Multiple Endings: Each route has two endings based on the health of your relationship with the LI, regardless of whether it's romantic or platonic.
English-Gaeilge Lexicon: Our game features translatable Gaeilge (Irish) words and phrases, and in the full game, translations will be voiced for ease of pronunciation!
Voice Acting: The main cast will have limited voice acting in the full game. Check our Kickstarter page periodically for voice actor reveals and samples!
Other Features (Stretch Goals): Side stories in-between route releases.
While we develop the full game, be sure to try out our FREE DEMO out now on Steam and Itch.io! Make sure to Wishlist our game on Steam as well!

Hi, yeah, I’ve got thoughts and predictions on Hades II already:
So Melinoë’s mythologically the daughter of Zeus, who had her with Persephone while disguised as Hades? That’ll be interesting.
The goddess with the pointed hat is 1000% Hecate, goddess/Titan of magic and crossroads. The dual torches thing is very much one of her symbols.
Given Hecate’s association with crossroads, the Moirai (the Fates) will likely appear in the game.
We saw Moros and Nemesis. Both are children of Nyx, representing Doom and Revenge respectively. Given Hades is in chains, Nyx has likely gone missing or has also been captured.
Given two of Nyx’s children have already been shown, I’d say there’s a good chance Eris (Strife) shows up.
Melinoë is associated strongly with the moon, so Aether and Hemera could also show up. Selene will definitely show up.
The game seems to start on the surface world, and I’m guessing it will stay that way. It avoids repeated settings, and it keeps Zagreus from showing up to help.
Since the map will be entirely on the surface, and given Cronus’ role as primary antagonist, I propose that the different bosses will be the Titans of the cardinal directions (Iapetus, Hyperion, Coeus, and Crius).
If the bosses are the cardinal Titans, then the cardinal wind gods may also appear: Boreas, Zephyrus, Notus, and Eurus.
The midstage NPCs will be some of the imprisoned Titans, like Atlas and Prometheus.
If Prometheus appears, Pandora may as well, since she was the wife of Prometheus’ brother, Epimetheus.
The Hecatoncheires will show up as a miniboss, since they’re siblings to the Titans. Same with the Cyclopes.
The first game had Cerberus and the Hydra in it. This game will have their siblings: the Chimera, the Sphinx, and the Nemean Lion.

The Norns
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Norns in norse mythology, are female beings who create and control fate. Some sources name them Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld, perhaps meaning “past,” “present,” and “future.”
They were depicted as living by Yggdrasill, the world tree, under Urd’s well and were linked with both good and evil
They also correspond to the Greek Moirai; usually represented as three maidens who spun or wove the fate of men.

Intro
Guess I should probably actually use this account… Hi, I'm Melinoe, goddess of nightmares and ghosts. Also the Environment Designer/Background artist for @moiraimyths I'll post some art here occasionally, probably. Also, I guess if you wanna ask anything about the game's background art I'm here. K bye.

Alaine Ní Daimhín
A thing about me is that if I'm left alone for 5 minutes I start making more OCs and this is a fate I must accept. So, without further ado, here's Alaine, my MC for The Good People/Na Daoine Maithe!
Now, I came up with Alaine's name pretty quick, but it took me an hour to choose her surname so I sure hope it makes sense for the game setting (mid 19th century Ireland, although you are snatched into the Fae world pretty much immediately, shenanigans ensue, demo free to play on itchio and steam if you want more info about it, or just check @moiraimyths)
I would like to note that this is Alaine at the start of the game, this is the reason why she's so skinny. They prefer bulky clothes to hide this, since they're really self conscious about being all 'skin and bones'. The fancy dress is the one Keagan gets her, and although she is impressed with how fancy and expensive it it, she does wish it covered more of her body.
Anyways, all this to say that 1) I imagine she will be getting other clothes when she can. I mean, if she stays in Murias (Autumn province) she will definitely getting clothes more appropiate for the weather so… And 2) they will put on weight as the game advances, they will still be thin, since that's their constitution, but not unhealthily skinny anymore.

Howdy, fateful friends! Are you an artist or illustrator with an interest in visual novels?
If so: Moirai Myths, creators of the visual novel The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe), are in need of guest artists! More specifically, we're looking for up to two artists to help us with the content graphics ("CGs") for Maeve and Shae's upcoming routes. All of the details will be listed on our application form (linked below), but here is the gist:
This is paid work with 20-30 business day deadlines per piece!
Complicated revisions in the post-sketch phase are compensated!
You will be prioritized for future guest artist opportunities!
You will be featured/credited on Moirai Myths' website and in the game itself!
Sound interesting? If so, apply here:
Click under the cut for some F&Q 👇
Who are you? (I'm new here!)
Hi! We're Moirai Myths: a small, newish visual novel company based out of Canada. We're making a game inspired by mostly Irish mythology, which was funded on Kickstarter in 2023! Our game's got fairy politics, a diverse cast, a Gaeilge-to-English translation tool, and routes that can be played either romantically or platonically! Also horses. An ungodly amount of horses, really.
If that odd pitch sounded intriguing, perhaps you'd like to play our demo! It's free on Steam & Itch.io.
Why are you looking for guest artists?
When we originally launched our Kickstarter, the plan was to have our three in-house artists collaborate on the CGs in the same way our header image was. However, we quickly realized that adding CGs, even if they're done collaboratively, onto the existing duties of our artists was a tall order. Add to that the departure of our original sprite artist (who has since been replaced by our graphic designer), and we determined that having our in-house team work on CGs was simply not possible if we still wanted our first release to happen in 2024. So, rather than omitting CGs or adding them in at a later time, we came up with the idea of hiring guest artists. Overall this means our CGs will be a bit more varied in terms of art style, but we like to think of this as a positive! NDM's development will take a number of years to complete in full, so we hope our CGs will allow us to feature a lot of artists either within the VN/indie dev community already, or artists who aspire to work in gaming and are looking for entry positions.
How long will applications remain open for?
This application will be open until Sunday, March 24 at midnight (EST)! If we intend to extend past that deadline, we'll make an announcement about it.
I can't apply right now. Will you look for more CG guest artists in the future?
Definitely! As mentioned, NDM will take a while to develop in full, so this is by no means your only opportunity to apply. That being said, we suspect we're going to end up shortlisting a number of artists over the course of this application period, and we intend to keep a list of all the runners-up. So, even if you won't be able to participate this time, it might be a good idea to apply anyway just to remain in our contacts! Either way, this will not be the last time we have apps.
Will you be looking for guest artists outside of CGs?
Maybe! We already have two guest artists (Nefukurou and Madi Funk) working on sprites and CGs respectively, so it's always possible that we'll have other artistic needs later down the line. Likewise, we may also reach out to past guest artists for future work with us, whether it's on this game or something else!
You say we need to sign an NDA. What does that entail?
The non-disclosure agreement essentially means you will be legally unable to publicly disclose any confidential information you become privy to as a result of working with us. This would include personal information about the developers, as well as spoilers from the game itself. In addition do this, you will be expected to sign over the IP and copyright of any artworks you produce for us.
Can I still use my artworks in portfolios, even if I don't own the copyright?
Yes! We'd only ask, if your portfolio is a website, that you wait to do so until after your art has been made public by us, either on our social media or via the publication of the game. Our first release is anticipated to happen later this year, most likely mid-autumn.
How do you guys feel about AI? Do you intend to use it, or would you ever train an AI off of the artworks whose copyright you own?
No.
Making a game is expensive and time-consuming, but AI is no replacement for human artistry. We fundamentally believe that any advancements in AI should be used for the purpose of giving people more time to make art, not take away opportunities for it. Moirai Myths will never, ever use AI or train an AI off your work.
***
If you've got any more questions for us that we didn't think to include here, feel free to send us an ask!

Did you know about the ~moirai~
-they are the most powerful greek mythology deities
- they are bringers of fate for everyone, that includes all gods, even Zeus
- Clotho- youngest one, spins the thread of human life
- Lachesis - the measurer of the thread spun on Clotho's spindle, and in some texts, determines Destiny, or thread of life
Atropos - the oldest one, choses the manner of death and ends the life of mortals by cutting their threads
Maybe you already knew about them, but did you know they are present in some other mythologies - roman, nordic and slavic (maybe some others let me know)

i know they were well aware of what was supposed to happen but sometimes i think about how exasperated the fates must have been when they saw the cords that were just cut snap back together during the time when the doors of death of were still open
