Yall had me in the first half, NGL(Please read article for more information)

#renpy #VN #vngame #visualnovel #poll #demo #interactive #clicktoread #meaningfulchoice #storygame #solodev #rpg


And I reiterate....for the first 10 days it was up in the air for yall!

But with an admittedly blatant nudge from me, we did it. And just in case, I took the liberty of building the demo yesterday. So here are the deets:

The demo, of course will take the player through the first six choices of the full game's story. There will be four achievements for the player to earn (the first four of the full game's ten): (1)play through the demo story at least once, (2)make all of the "newbie" type choices, (3)make all of the "veteran" type choices, and (4)make all twelve available choices.

For what I mean by "new" and "vet", I have some earlier posts talking in detail about both here and on my Tumblr.

At this point, the demo has been completely built, debugged, and all I need to do now is compose the music for the menu screens. The soft deadline for me to release the demo will be Monday(1/26/26), while I will make it my mission to release it by a hard deadline of Friday(1/30/26). So between Monday and Friday of this coming week.

I would love to thank everyone who has participated and I will see you soon with the Return to Eternity Visual Novel demo!

Early context?? We're not about that jazz, that's the full game's story to tell.

Drew this little doodle way back when I was trying to find a way to battle the project's "continuity lockout"

It's a way to summarize the project's first page (and overall premise) in one image

For those interested - REALLY LONG explanation in article!

I know I've been pelting yall with "Dollar-Store TED talks" lately cos the topics ravage my mind and keep me from working till I get them out, so here is a nice little break from all of that...

No I'm not giving context, that's the role of the full game

So this is a scene from the #visualnovel demo as it appears in the original storyboard (back when our pal Cy was a talking tree branch with an attitude - why did I make him so skinny lol)
