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…?

Cheers for now ːsotawinkː

Hello everyone ːsotawinkː

Today's patch fixes a rare softlock that would happen during the festival, if you learned a shadow magick skill from Nessa and later joined the duel.

Thank you for playing ːsweetelfː

• [p]A new batch of backer names has been added to the credits;[/p]
• [p]The editor has been updated to include a fix for the Unity vulnerability discovered earlier today;[/p]
