This doujin starts off with Reimu chaining up Sakuya because she wants to become a vampire. Then she finds out Marisa *did* become a vampire. Reimu has a crisis but then decides she loves and respects them both too much to let that ruin their polycule. Happily ever after.

Showing off my VN for #screenshotsaturday... Border art, paper sketches, and some photos are by me. Everything else is photos from unsplash/a friend. It was really fun figuring out how to build scenes this way! chrislsound.itch.io/a-faeries-ta... #gamedev #indiegame #visualnovel #renpy #solodev

A photo of a pond of vivid milky green-blue water. A small cliff is visible with various words and symbols and numbers spray-painted on it. A pile of large granite slabs is just barely visible off to the side. Many lush green trees frame the whole scene.

A photo of a pencil sketch on grid paper. There is a big circle in the center of the page. Around the outside of the circle are trees. The inside of the circle is filled with angled pencil strokes to resemble long grass. A curving line has been cut through the scribbles with an eraser, and some of the eraser shavings are visible in the photo.

A photo of a forest and mountain skyline. It is night time, but the sky is somewhat bright thanks to a large yellow full moon visible in the photo. There are sparse clouds in the sky as well. The mountains are tall, rocky, and somewhat square in shape rather than pointed peaks. The forest skyline is in the foreground, appears to consist of pine trees, and is largely just a silhouette.

There is text on screen in a fairy tale-like font. It reads: "Once – and only once – upon a time, a foreigner came to our peaceful land and disrupted our natural way of life forever. It began during one of our many festivals: The one that carried us out of Summer and into Winter, when the days were warm and the nights were cold, when those of us born of Summer began our rest, and the Winter children were conceived. A festival replete with dance and Fire and food and drink and great love."

All of this is surrounded by a frame along the border. The frame shows stylized versions of a full moon, starry sky, fog and clouds, gentle breeze, weeping willow trees, rocks, a stream, and a grassy hill.

The background of this photo is black. In the upper-right area of the photo, the bottom half of a large silvery full moon is visible. Below the moon, coming up from the bottom of the photo and nearly touching the moon, is a very tall campfire flame with many sparks flying off of it.

There is text on screen that reads: "...And then the Great Mistress rose, and in so standing broke the temporal spell and silenced all else beneath deafening trembles of the Earth. The Fire's raving flame illuminated Her towering body up to her breasts, leaving Her head veiled in darkness and silhouetted by the full Moon like a silver halo of the night. She spoke not a word, yet Her overwhelming influence compelled all to crane their necks and bear witness. This terrible display of power magnified Her unspeakable beauty. My body quivered, my legs surrendered, and I fell to my knees."

All of this is surrounded by a frame along the border. The frame shows stylized versions of a full moon, starry sky, fog and clouds, gentle breeze, weeping willow trees, rocks, a stream, and a grassy hill. The bottom of the frame is tinted orange to match the fire, the top is tinted silver to match the moon, and the middle portions are a dark navy blue.

🌙 New game: "A Faerie's Tale: Death's Promise" Years ago I overheard a strange story while wandering in the woods. I never could identify the voice that was telling it. Since then I've felt a solidarity with it. I recount it in this kinetic novel. ~45min to read. chrislsound.itch.io/a-faeries-ta...

Cover art for my new kinetic novel, "A Faerie's Tale: Death's Promise".
The top half of the background is an upside down winter treeline, with one tree in the center being prominently visible. This treeline is tinted red, so the leafless branches resemble nerves, veins, and arteries. The bottom half of the background is black. In the center of the image in the foreground is the text "A Faerie's Tale" in a white fantastical, script-like font. Just below it is the text "Death's Promise" in an old typewriter-like font. This text is black with a thin white outline and a stark red outer glow. The text is duplicated behind it in ghostly translucent white, offset from the main text.

I know it’s rough out there y’all, but just remember:

Screenshot from Breath of Fire 1. The text box reads “Use the Mirror when you need help from the Nether World.”

#1 GBA. Classic 2D sidescroller interspersed w/ “mode7” (or w/e GBA calls it) challenge stages. Honestly could be way worse. Does a good job adapting the story, with smart distillations to fit the whole thing into an hour or two while faithfully hitting all the key story beats. I give it two thumbs.

Rune@darkfairyrune· Dec 25

#2 GCN. Basically the same game as the PS2 version, but looks, runs, and feels slightly better. If you gotta play one of the 3D games or just really want to hear Tom Hanks’ brother’s voice on a PS2 or GameCube Christmas-themed game, this is easily the ideal one.

Rune@darkfairyrune· Dec 25

#3 PS2. Looks and runs kinda gross. They didn’t really have any good ideas for 3D gameplay, so it’s just a string of disparate janky mini-games that mostly do a bad job of adapting the story. Paced poorly and pretty nonsensical if you don’t know the story. Just kinda skips and misrepresents parts.
