Love is in the air! - Development Update April 2022
Hey everyone!
Orange Season has a set of characters that you, the player, will be able to romance. Today we are showing four characters that we have been flashing out to be a suitable partner for your player character. You will see them mature over the course of the game, helping them with their problems and being witness to their newfound assurance of themselves.
Please, be advised that everything shown here is a work in progress and can be changed during development.
[h3]BENJAMIN, the falling star of Laranjal[/h3]
Benjamin is the younger brother of Julia and Brittany. He is a washed-out actor that only appeared in one film, famous for its turbulence production. Out of options, Benjamin now runs a farm to help their sisters’ dreams for Laranjal, but finds no joy in it.
Haunted by his past and oppressed by his present, Benjamin has ceased to dream, deaf to any other calling in life… but this may change when old wounds are opened when Laranjal demands something that he is not.
[h3]STELLA, the farming titan[/h3]
Stella is the oldest granddaughters of Rory and cousin of Cindy. She is the pinnacle of her family, being considered the best farmer that they (and Laranjal) ever saw. With skills surpassing the supernatural, Stella is a key actor for Brittany’s farm rise to success and her grandfather’s farm demise, being creating golden ages when she works on the fields and creating destruction when leaving them.
But she is yearning for something more. She sees a farm unlike any other when she closes her eyes, a place as powerful as her. Stella has set her mind to make it real, but what happens when such a powerful person decides to go on her own way? Specially one that can spell doom for a place when they leave?
[h3]LUCAS, the square shape in a circle shape world[/h3]
Lucas is a reserved young man minding his own business in Laranjal, working from home to meet his dues. He tends to keep to himself, but it is a known figure in any social event, even if he stays by the sidelines, wanting to join in. The young man would love to be a part of them, but his past with his overbearing family still has a strong hold on him.
Like the player character, Lucas is also a newcomer to town looking for a new life. Maybe they can help each other out and find something unexpected in each other. Let’s just hope nothing else came with Lucas’s emotional baggage.
[h3]DEVIN, the life and blood of Laranjal[/h3]
Devin is quick. Quick to meet new people, quick to make friends, and, specially, quick to please. Serge’s adopted son is the hemoglobin of the town, responsible to empty the Harvest Bins of every farm and to deliver every package to everyone in town, keeping the city alive.
But Devin feels alone in his position. Even though he knows everyone, he doesn’t have any real friends, a fact that he tries to remedy by giving gifts to everyone, but nothing seems to stick for unknown reasons. Maybe a newcomer with no prior knowledge of him is just what he needs to start making friends.
That's it for this time! Hope you enjoyed. Let us know what you think, stay tuned for another dev log next month and see you then!
PS: We've just pushed a game update to solve crashing! Check out the patch notes here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/416000/view/4459137986468075278
