We got accepted on Steam Greenlight! Thanks everyone!

 

Here is what the game currently looks like (though we are planning to add some more features):

 

The story

Bright is a young woman from a small, peaceful town. Dark times have come for her family, but luckily, she has the favor of the famous healer-witch Orchid.

 

Benevolent, calm and beloved by all, Orchid hides dark secrets that Bright begins to uncover.

Bright is drawn into a world of darkness and treachery.

 

 

It seems she can never be alone again - for a powerful demonic presence has taken an interest in her activities, and his voice enters her mind at the most inappropriate times.

 

 

 

There are also others who play a significant role in Bright's new life...

 

Ari, a young apprentice witch seduced by bad influences. She tries to be friendly, even though she knows Bright is meant to be her enemy... or is she?

 

Sir Brash, a notorious evil knight who develops a soft spot for Bright, but has a rather special way of showing affection...

 

...and other adorable individuals.

To rebuild her life, Bright has to resolve the situation with her Infernal patron. Will she embrace him, fight him, or decide to merely tolerate him for being a powerful ally?

 

Because we are a small team and we want to give each section of the game special polishing attention, the game will be split into 5 chapters. Your choices and personality will be carried over from one chapter to the next.

Each chapter will be around an hour and a half of play time.

Chapter 1 is planned for early access and testing in October 2016, and for release in December. From there on, a new chapter should be ready every 3 months.

Chapter 1 - Descension (October/December 2016)

Chapter 2 - Reverie (Winter/Spring 2017)

Chapter 3 - Deception (Spring/Summer 2017)

Chapter 4 - Inferno (Summer/Fall 2017)

Chapter 5 - Devotion (Fall/Winter 2017)

 

Jovana: Writer and programmer
I have worked on game mods for years before deciding to create a standalone game. I've always wanted to create the kind of characters that were missing in the big developers' games - mostly bad guys to be romanced by the player.

Radomir: Programmer and technical support
Games have always been my passion and I'm a big technology enthusiast. My current role in life is being a dad and I'm eagerly waiting for my kid to become old enough for us to play and make games together :)

We depend on freelancer talents to produce the game resources, and so far we've funded their work ourselves. Our most reliable associates have been Sibin Aćimović (background artist), Ngô Xuân Hùng (character artist) and Ronggowisnu Prihadi (character animator).

We are so happy with what everyone has accomplished so far, and hope that you can help us to continue funding our amazing artists.

 

Here is what we need to complete all 5 chapters:

Basic goal - $1500

 

  • 50% - Finishing art and animation
  • 30% - Proofreading, sound effects, miscellaneous
  • 10% - Perk expenses
  • 10% - Indiegogo and PayPal/bank fees

Partial voiceovers - $3000

Selected lines of the non-player characters' dialog will be voiced over.

Full voiceovers - $5000

Every spoken line of the non-player characters' dialog will be voiced over.
