Moriyan, The Unfated, protagonist of my upcoming game, Batara: Fate Unbound
BATARA: FATE UNBOUND is a 2D dark fantasy souls-like, featuring hand painted visuals, inspired by the diverse beauty of Indonesian art and culture. Step forth Moriyan, The Unfated, and battle your way through the shattered lands of Urvara. Master parry-focused combat, clash with ambitious gods, find beauty in decay, and cleanse this world of corruption.
We just launched the Kickstarter Trailer if you'd like to check it out! And in case you want to learn more about this project!

I looove the ritual of creating mocktails. It brings me so much joy. The best thing about it is it can be part of your day, afternoon, or evening. I’m not an expert on it, just a hobbyist. And this guide can help you become a hobbyist as well or move deeper into the hobby! This guide is vegan-friendly.

Past Seven would never say "Woah, what a babe" like current Seven in any circumstance... but did he think it?
