Hello everyone! I'm beyond excited to announce that the Steam page of my next project, fulgor, is now live ːsotaloveː
https://store.steampowered.com/app/3927060/fulgor_i_hate_therefore_i_am/
[h2]What is fulgor?[/h2]
The game is a dark romance visual novel set during the Roman Republic's invasion of Etruria in 299 BC.
With Hatred dead, no one can oppose the legions of the She-Wolf; they roam the countryside, a horde of men and violence, razing any settlements they encounter and leaving no prisoners.
Only you can stop them.

The protagonist, Thanchvil, has a fixed name and backstory, but you'll be able to customize her personality and romantic preferences.

The two love interests are Lucius, a Roman soldier, and Tuchulcha, a fearsome guide of the dead.

[h2]Is fulgor different from Sigh of the Abyss?[/h2]
Yes, it is! fulgor's scope is more compact and features a streamlined story and a smaller cast. I needed to work on a smaller project after two massive ones back-to-back ːfoxintroubleː

[h2]What is the progress so far?[/h2]
The game is fully written, with original art and music on the way! A demo will release later this year with the full common route. I hope you look forward to it ːsotawinkː

[h2]Why is the title like that?[/h2]
The Etruscans didn't use any capitalization, and their writing is usually transcribed in lowercase. It felt thematic (if controversial)!

[h2]Where can I learn more about the game?[/h2]
I will be sharing more about it in the game's Steam announcements! Wishlist and follow the game to see the latest news in your library.

Hello everyone ːsotaloveː

Today's patch fixes the following issues:

• If you romance Malec and saved Miché's father, there will be no mention of a funeral in one of his romance scenes;
  
• Removed the random necklace the Envoy would sport in some scenes;
  
• Added a backer name;
  

Thank you for playing!

[h2]Dreams in an ancient land[/h2]
In my previous 'big' announcement, I revealed that I have been working on a new game—codename 𐌚𐌖𐌋𐌂𐌖𐌓!

The script has been ready for a while and only needs a unifying editing pass before being handed over to the proofreader, and the visual assets are coming along beautifully.
Here's a little preview of the protagonist walking alongside a river with a friend~

What do you think?

It can't be seen in the crop above, but Thanchvil is holding a bag with her things in it.

The game is one big journey, and supplies are important—even when they look like a funerary set...

If you missed my previous announcement, here's what 𐌚𐌖𐌋𐌂𐌖𐌓 is about:

Set in 299 BC, as Roman armies provoke the Etruscans into war by razing their countryside, the game puts you in the shoes of a merchant (literally) struck by fate.
Chosen by the gods to save her people, Thanchvil must embark on a journey that will end with the corpse of her lover falling from her arms. Or will it…?

If you want to know more about the game as I prep its Steam page, sign up to my newsletter! You can also follow me on Bluesky, where I will be sharing the games I loved the most in the festival!

Cheers for now ːsotawinkː
