Another mini-game in Lenin - The Lion.

Fire, dude. JUST FIRE.
The demo is out~
Download the Demo on Itch.io!
Virgo Vs The Zodiac is a sci-fi/fantasy JRPG coming to PC. The game features traditional turn based combat with a twist: Guarding, countering and timing your actions carefully as well as trying to predict your enemies moves will greatly help on Virgo’s twisted cosmic quest to bring back the Golden Age, a period of peace, symmetry and balance. In this galaxy where every action means a reaction, you’ll play as Virgo, the Holy Queen, or so-called Dreadful Queen, bringing mayhem to the Zodiac Realms and leaving on your way a trail of stardust in Virgo’s rage against the Heretics.
Embark on a cosmic quest to dethrone the Zodiacs and revive the Golden Age, if the galaxy survives your wrath, that is.
Virgo is determined to purge the whole Zodiac of their sins, based on her own ideals of perfection in order to bring back the Golden Age – a period of prosperity and harmony to the sacred celestial system, who’s in chaos.
After stealing the Talaria, winged shoes of Mercury, her father, she marches in her crusade towards the Temples of Saturn in search of Capricorn, her first adversary. Along her journey to find perfection and purity, she will encounter many foes whom she deems heretics, but also those she finds friendship in, such as her trusty companion, Gingerbread Man, a delicious cookie who assists Virgo on her journey.
In Virgo Vs The Zodiac, you’ll count with the Zodiac Qualities System, which will track Virgo’s Zodiac Quality allignment, divided into MUTABLE, FIXED and CARDINAL. Through your choices in game, Virgo’s personality will also change as you go, based on one of the Qualities. This will also help you dive into the minds of the 12 Zodiac archetypes through the game’s quirky characters giving a deeper experience and making the world to feel more organic.
No obvious Good/Evil choices! You’ll never feel guilty for the options you choose throgh the course of the game. The decisions you make will greatly impact the world around you, changing your path and other character’s destinies, as Virgo’s strives to trick FATE!
Unlike most traditional JRPGs, Virgo Vs The Zodiac features heavy commitment to every action taken in combat, and therefore, their effects are always significant. No turns will feel wasted as you fight your way through the galaxy.
Being mostly based on a simple but powerful Guard/Counter system, you’ll be able to protect blows and retaliate right away with a multitude of different Guards and Counters-attacks by equipping different shields. Every piece of equipment will grant you new abilities in addition to stats, and mix-matching to find a perfect combo of abilities is freely available, also adding a lot of replayability! Classes in Virgo will be tied to a Zodiac Quality but won’t strictly limit your equipment availability or build variations.
Enemies fight based on the Zodiac Qualities system as well, displaying their strengths and weakness through their color-coded sprites in battle; a foe wielding a purple-ish weapon will likely strike you down with Cardinal abilities, but one who whields a pink-ish shield will defend Fixed attacks much better!
Combat in the Astrological Realms is unforgiving and every encounter has the possibility of resulting in defeat if your actions aren’t timed carefully against your foes! Constant adaptation of strategies to face different opponents is required to achieve victory over the Heretic! Expect no attack-spam, unless you just want to enjoy the story in the Stress-free mode, with no drawbacks other than a more forgiving combat playthrough.
In addition to regular turn-based abilities, you’ll also come across certain real-time precise-hit attacks and other sorts of timed hits, such as combos of different degrees of complexity, but more info on those will come later!
Thank you all for reading this gigantic post and keeping up with me for so long! It’s been 4 months since this development began taking shape and way more than that from the prototype stages! I feel eternally grateful for being able to make this game and share with you. Working alone on a project this big is really hard sometimes, and you all helped me a LOT along the way. I really feel like my work is appreciated and that it was worth it thanks to all of you!
I hope you’ll enjoy playing the demo and that Virgo will be as fun to play as it was to make. If you do enjoy it, maybe consider donating on the campaign in the future to help the full project come to life without me having to struggle too hard with adulthood (also, so I can buy more gingerbread cookies to raise this family ;0)
I appreciate any reblogs to help spread the word! <3

Guide
Mailing List & Updates!
Hey everyone, take this finished portrait of Chiron, my new husbando! Sorry that I didn’t update these days, it’s a bit hard since I’m mostly making stuff that I can’t properly show, but a lot of work has been put on the final version of Virgo now that I finished the demo! :3 Also: Thank you all playtesters, and the ones that will still play the demo! The bugs now are minor, which make me really happy <3
First things first:
Subscribe to Virgo Vs The Zodiac Mailing List so you can receive the link of Virgo upfront when it’s up!
(I won’t spam you guys, this list will be used only for big announcements, for example, the demo or the campaign, steam release, stuff like that!)
Now for the Updates! I worked a lot on tilesets and mapping for the Akasha, also known as A-field, a sort of Hub Town, known to be the center of the galaxy. In this mysterious place there’s facilities for each Zodiac Realm showing a little of their memories. When Virgo unlocks conversations, the facilities are the places where they take place. Here you can also rest from all that battling against the filthy Heretics, as this is an area protected by the Astrological Court, where no conflict is tolerated!
Chiron, besides being Virgo’s buttler, is also a Indexer, someone who records one’s journey. Therefore, you can access any information about Virgo with Chiron, check Virgo’s stats, class changes (which I’ll be talking about soon!) and some of Virgo’s memories.
Another thing I wanted to show you all is this! The assets are all placeholder, but I’m trying to implement cool SHMUP minigames for when Virgo travels between constellations! I’ve been working since yesterday in this, and tomorrow I’ll try to finish one level from programming to assets (btw, for anyone curious, this is Galv’s MV Invaders plugin!)! Also, if you can’t do shmups, please don’t be afraid: This section is fully optional!
I hope you enjoyed how the development is going! The demo will be up this week! Don’t forget to subscribe, so it’ll be easier for me to reach you all with the link for the demo and further important updates! :3

I did it. Imagination open a new horizon :o

It’ll soon be a year since Ikenfell saw its debut on Kickstarter. While I didn’t get a chance to catch up with the game’s developer Chevy Ray Johnston at GDC, we do get about-monthly updates on Kickstarter about it.
The game’s now published by those nice folks over at Humble Bundle, which gives Chevy more room to breathe as he’s the game’s primary developer, doing all of code, art, design and writing. It’s nice to have someone take off the business and distribution part of the equation.
The updates are very spoiler-free so there’s not much more known about the magic-school-exploring story, but what we do see are graphical improvements like the redesigned dialogs and uniform interior perspective (goodbye Zelda). Here’s the before screenshot for comparison:
I like seeing how these things progress and iterate to perfection during the development. If you’re the same, hop on to Chevy Ray’s Twitter for even more day-to-day updates.
In the Guirn underground district you can find all sorts of shops, including the paradise bar.
Quiz: will they all actually be there together in one spot or did I just place them here to have this aesthetic gif lmao :^) Also showing some of the setting I was itching myself to publish already.

ATTENTION EVERYONE!
I’ll make a little game with you today that worth a NPC of your own in the game!
First I’m bringing to you this little creation in pixel art of one of the characters of Lenin - The Lion. Well, it’s a vulture. But it’s a fancy vulture, you know that. haha. >.<
This character is from the Realm of Depression, but it’s not necessarily a Symptom (I’ll not reveal it yet - SO MUCH MYSTERY around this creature D: ).
But I’ll give you guys some tips about the location of the Realm of Depression that he is:
The character is a bit lonely, and his house is very lonely as well.
He has a lot of money, but he sees no benefits in it.
Despite being envied by many, he is always seeing flaws in the things he has.
There is no fun in leaving home too.
So, do you know the place in the Realm of Depression where this little guy lives?
If you are the first to find out what the symptom the place of the Realm of Depression that little vulture lives, that is, what the symptom that the city / town / village it is, taking into account the advice I gave, you will earn the right to a NPC character in the game in a secret area! YEEES! That’s it. The only restriction is that the character is also an animal, meets the criteria of the region’s symptom where it will be (we’ll talk about it, no worries) and does not interfere with the main story of the game!
Those who want to participate should share the post (just give like in the post doesn’t count), follow Lenin - The Lion (this blog) and send the answer by inbox here on Tumblr, .
Each one is entitled to TWO replies per inbox, not more than that! Remembering that you must respond “what symptom does the LOCAL where he lives represent?”
If anyone gets it right until next week, I’ll reveal the answer next Saturday.
I’m very excited about this “promotion” and I hope you do too. So send your answers inbox!
See you guys!
In love with Dead File: Origem <3

WIP - Title Menu
Hey guys! Today I decided to show you how the title menu of “Lenin - The Lion” is so far. There are some animations on this screen - but I didn’t want to make a GIF now, so that in the demo you can see the final result (which will still have a few changes).
Also, as the game progresses and the story unfolds, I plan for some minor modifications to take place visually in the environment (so if you didn’t read this post you’ll gradually realize it). These last few weeks have taken me a lot of time with university projects, so my publication frequency tends to decrease (but EVERY day I do something for Lenin, even if it’s a dialogue, set up a scenario or include a new event).
Another issue that has taken me some time is fundraising (not for the game necessarily, but to live haha), so if you don’t like Patreon but would like to request some work, for example, send me an inbox and we can talk about comissions! It will be a pleasure. See you soon and for any questions, send me Asks :)
