I've found myself reading about Atlas and the Pleiades after a long while, and felt maternal about the titan again.

I ever drew Pleione and Atlas, I tried to do the daughters and my pen died, so you'll only get two out of seven. Maybe I should fix something about their general design

Hello, hello, visiting one of my fva artists again, jumps up and down!!

HALOOOOO!It's been so long 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾

[melodyartist]

"medieval batman"....? in regards to ancient greek mythology?? those are probably the two worst words used lol

But they are the best way to describe this monstrosity.

I can't even call that a roman helmet, because those were flashy, but not even Caesar could have been able to wear something this tacky, this is a straight up knight armour at this point 😩

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON ROBIN HOOD AND LITTLE JOHN RIGHT HERE PLEASE

They don't even look like they are from the same movie let alone the same century

"His armour is the best" "Agamemnon is such a cool character" "Have you seen him at the gate aura farming"

Have you seen his head being axed off by his fed up wife? All this glazing for a man that only knew how to whine for two entire books.

I'm all for female rights and especially for Clytemnestra wrongs.

I can't remember which book I read it in, perhaps it was that rubbish on paper that was the book House of Odysseus.

If I recall correctly, there was a part where Hera went into mourning over Clytemnestra's death, Zeus couldn't have cared less, as a matter of fact he condemned her and treated her like a fool. I remember the writing being awful, but I liked the idea itself: the loss of a pupil, a mortal woman with whom she finally felt a kinship.

I’ve always thought of Hera and Clytemnestra as parallel figures in a way: both have to put up with a "strong" man with many flaws, both are queens that have to male important choices, who must maintain a certain image, and—while one succeeded to get rid off her husband and free herself for a brief moment where the other failed (that all shenanigans with seizing Zeus's throne, dumbest idea ever) in the end, one way or another, they both had to face reality.

It really bugs me that it all gets dumbed down to "Haha, Agamemnon is an aura farmer" (Agamemnon has his depth too ig... kinda... I'M BIASED) and "Clytemnestra is a crazy woman, lol."

What game mechanics will there be? Like any mini games for example?

Right now the only "particular " game mechanic is the rudimental fighting system or the:"Don't drive Virgo mad mini game", where you have to choose a sequence of answers to not get killed, very simple stuff.

The mc that you choose at the beginning will have stats that will affect the combat and the dialogue in the game.

Side note:To make multiple play through easier, the unique dialogue are marked by the presence of the mc on the side of the text box, so you can check the unique dialogue and notice if they are actually different

I wanted to add more things like spells and prayer that you can actually learn during the game or add collectibles that will give you a chance to get in touch with particular gods. Like this little statue right here.

Since I'm writing the story and also coding it, I'm still thinking things through, and I'm very much open for suggestions 🗣️

[melodyartist]

Will players know what choices they make are “the truth” and what ones are the “new narrative” or will the player have the guess if they think their right?

What's interesting is that all the stories start with something off because someone is clearly messing with them so it all depends on the sign you are following.

Some signs are more aware than others and will notice and tell the player explicitly if what they are living through is what is supposed to happen or not

(all the examples are taken from the already available demo)

Ex:

-In Leo's route you are catapulted directly into his already begun memories, where he himself will tell the player that there is something wrong , something he felt before your arrival and that allowed him to change the course of his narration himself, you can make choices that may turn the narrative back on tracks

Ex:

-In Gemini's route both of the twins know what is supposed to happen and what they are supposed to do, but that gets quickly denied when they are living through something they don't recall happening in the first place

Or the sign might not even realize who they are and that they are already living through one of their memories, so the player has to piece things together and figure out if what they are doing is part of the true myth or not

[melodyartist]

So i saw your post was tagged as a visual novel, so dos that mean the game is focused on romancing the star signs? Or is this a different type of visual novel?

Thanks for asking! Basically yes, the game is essentially a visual novel where you can romance the star sings, and yes you can date multiple signs, or just focus on the main objective without romancing.

The point of the story is to bring back the goddess nyx after she fell into a deep slumber and then disappeared, as a student of Hecate you get to travel through this realm , called "the dream realm" where you can meet the main constellation of the zodiac, relive their memories and collect fragments to restore the night sky. By playing it you can actually notice that the memories have been altered in a way or another, so you can try to fix them or change the course by creating a new narrative.

We want the choices of the player to actually have consequences and matter throughout the play trough

[melodyartist]

I'm opening a q&a about the game, I really need feedbacks or thoughts about the project.

Questions about the stories, the characters and even the datables that are not in the demo.

You can ask me or the character directly
