My new game is on Kickstarter now! @brianna-lei - Tumblr Blog

Do you like my games Butterfly Soup and Pom Gets Wi-Fi?! My new game is ON KICKSTARTER NOW!!

The Crane Rider's Tale is a mystery narrative game set in a fantasy town inspired by Chinese folktales, featuring:

A jigsaw-puzzle-style plot with 5 endings and wild twists

An art style based on medieval Chinese paintings and woodblock prints

A stat-based dialogue system and skill check dice-rolls inspired by Disco Elysium

Doomed yaoi, toxic yuri, and even arguably a STRAIGHT PAIRING (a career first for me).

Please spread the word and help me bring this game to life!

24 HOURS LEFT TO BACK OUR GAME! We're SO close to hitting our stretch goal of being able to hire an animator -- if you've been on the fence about pledging, it's now or never!!

#the crane rider's tale #tcrt #shameless self promo #btw I finally started playing Majoras Mask and was shocked when this screen came up bc I always thought it came from Five Nights At Freddys

#the crane rider's tale #tcrt #thanks everyone for tolerating my month of cringey self promo!!

When the tea is so hot that you use the guy sitting between you as a table... None of this trio's interactions made it into the Kickstarter trailer, so I drew them as this iconic video.

Thanks for funding The Crane Rider's Tale! There's still 6 days left!

Meet Mourn-No-More, our crane-riding protagonist! Unfortunately he nearly died of illness as a teenager and never fully recovered... but he's literally so nice!

(He's from my danmei-inspired fantasy game, The Crane Rider's Tale! It's 90% funded on Kickstarter right now!)

#the crane rider's tale #tcrt #thanks everyone who's braved drawing him without any proper refs so far!!

The Crane Rider's Tale is a fantasy mystery game with wild twists, 5 endings, and a cast of wacky characters inspired by Chinese folktales.

We're 85% funded on Kickstarter right now and still need another 15% to continue developing this game designed for gay people who love suffering + insane jigsaw-puzzle style plots!!!

#tysm everyone who's supported and boosted the game so far!!!#the crane rider's tale #tcrt

Butterfly Soup's @brianna-lei has a new game on Kickstarter (The Crane Rider's Tale)! I absolutely adore Brianna's writing and it'd be super awesome if it reaches it's full goal!

In all honesty. I need doomed yaoi and toxic yuri in Chinese fairy-tale stories like crisp cold water. I NEED mysteries, I NEED tragedy, and I NEED repressed historical men to get murdered before confessing their budding love. I need to see all these characters squirm in vain against their terrible fates. I'm shriveled up. I'm parched. I'm so so parched and I need help!!!!!!!! Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#oh my god!!!!! this is incredible thank you!!#the crane rider's tale #tcrt #other people's art
