Platinum Rose vs Valiant Rose Sprite Comparisons

Reminder, Valiant Rose's demo is out now on Steam.

Some thoughts below the cut.

Most of Platinum Rose's sprites were made first by making a 3d model of the character and then posing them. Then I'd take a picture of that, move it into a photo editing program, and make the sprite proper. In these you can see some of the effects started on the models themselves, drawing patterns on the textures there. In the 2nd one, you can see those qualities even persist on their hoodie design.

One really fun detail I love that artist Norumeep has been thorough about, is retaining some details from the models even if the in-game sprites don't show them. In the first picture, you can see on her 3d model the club girl has a bandaid on her cheek, but in-game this isn't visible in any of her sprites. However, in Valiant Rose, you can rest easy knowing the band aid is still there. A major element of Valiant Rose as a sequel is how differently Lilith and Jane view this world, and this is a quality of that.

I don't want to share many, in respect to those who spent money on this, but in the Platinum Rose artbook Norumeep made a deck of tarot cards. In this we can see many of these characters already have their non-filter design created. Here's one of the green-haired girl from the fourth picture.

Valiant Rose is a very special game to me, much like Platinum Rose is. I'm excited to finally be able to share more of this with you.

love you all

I'm thinkin next week I'll post a devblog with some Valiant Rose Demo spoilers, so if you haven't yet you can play the demo on Steam now.

Alternatively, you can blacklist the tag #loavr which is what I'll tag any post discussing Valiant Rose at all.

It's a weird balance, sharing stuff on social media but also not wanting to spoil any surprises. Not really my specialty but I'll get there.

Laments of a Valiant Rose Demo now on Steam!

So so SO excited to finally share this with more people.

This game is a sequel to our previous project, "Laments of a Platinum Rose", so it is recommended to play that first. That game is available for free on itch.io or $1 on Steam with a few QoL improvements.

This demo is probably about 1/5th of the runtime of the full game, but I'm hoping it will give you a good taste of what this game is meant to be and get you excited to see this concept fully realized.

We have been so excited to share this with you all. Thank you again for all of the love and support LoaPR has received. All of the kind words really humble me and motivate me to make Valiant Rose as good as it can be.

love you all

Glorious day 🙏 Valiant Rose Closed Beta begins!

More yapping under the cut.

Valiant Rose is on track to have the demo released publicly on June 30th. This is very exciting to me. So much has been done. June 30th is a special day because I believe that was the day I first started work on LoaPR. So in 1 year the concept of this story went from test assets I ripped off the Internet, to a full steam release AND the demo for the next game.

I don't want to sound egotistical, I'm just very excited about this. LoaPR was partially started over frustration about starting concepts and never finishing them, so having turned a new leaf and actually being able to get my art out there feels huge to me. It's scary in an exciting way. I want to make something meaningful.

Valiant Rose can be wishlisted on Steam, which is where the demo will be available at the end of the month. Any questions or comments, feel free to send an ask here

love you all

Devblog for June, 2026

More information on our upcoming game, Laments of a Valiant Rose, including some screenshots. I'm hoping that by the time the next devblog is up, the demo will be available on Steam. The game will also likely come to itch.io but for the time being we are prioritizing Steam.

I am so excited to share "LoaVR" with you all. In many ways, we are taking the elements of Laments of a Platinum Rose and expanding them. But at the same time, the expansion is a natural side effect of telling a different story. So although this game is a bigger and more ambitious realization of "LoaPR"'s gameplay concepts, LoaPR doesn't become outdated or in need of an update, as its use of its elements remains appropriate. I'm hoping you'll all understand what I mean better when the game comes out, it's weird to vocalize.

Like I said in the intro, we are hoping that for next month's devblog I will be telling you guys to go play the demo. The demo will of course be free, be about 1/4th of the total game, and available on Steam first. You can wishlist the game now to be notified when the demo launches.

Both Norumeep and I have been very into Fallout: New Vegas lately. I played Fallout 3 around when it came out and it left like no impression on me, but New Vegas has been a ton of fun. I'm in my third playthrough right now and tempted to go for a fourth one.

Enjoy some LoaPR x New Vegas art Norumeep made. It isn't posted there but you can follow him on Instagram for more.

By far the funniest thing that has happened was when I was watching Norumeep finish his first playthrough, and when the ending cutscene started, an Enclave follower he had teleported with him to the ending slideshow room. We were in tears laughing the whole time. It's become an inside joke between us.

There's also been a lot of Tomodachi Life going on but somewhere underneath all of that is a project Norumeep and I have come to care quite a lot about, and we are both SO excited to share a snippet of it with you all.

Thank you for your interest

love you all

LoaPR was a part of Psychodelic Fest this year on Steam and we saw a nice influx of new copies sold during that period, which is always nice to see. I'm very grateful to Skull Queens Games for including LoaPR in their event and their video showcase.

I've seen a few new reviews pop up on LoaPR's page and it really warms my heart to see. I appreciate every single person who has given their time and attention to my project. And so it is flattering to see people go even further and share their thoughts, make fanart, or replay the game.

It has been a really special experience, sharing this all. I am very excited to share with you more details about our current project, Laments of a Valiant Rose, which can be wishlisted on Steam. We're hoping to have a free demo out this summer. In early July, co-creator Norumeep will be attending a convention and passing out free Steam keys of LoaPR, so we're hoping to have the demo out by then.

Thank you again for everything.

love you all,

Big Announcement!

Finally announcing our next game, Laments of a Valiant Rose. This game is a sequel to Laments of a Platinum Rose, taking place directly after that game, so please play Platinum Rose before Valiant Rose. Please enjoy my monthly devlog for May, 2026.

In Laments of a Valiant Rose, the player can see the world of Luminary, Nexus, through the eyes of Jane Perdita, who is now abdicated of her role as Queen.

In many ways, Valiant Rose is an evolution of Platinum Rose, especially in terms of presentation and gameplay elements. I feel like the things that made Platinum Rose distinct are much more distinct and realized here. This is a side effect of me improving and growing more confident as a programmer and developer, but also a product of the different story I'm telling. Although I consider this to be an evolution of those concepts, it would not be fitting to go back to Platinum Rose and change anything as what is there totally fits that story.

Jane is a wildly different protagonist than Lilith was, and so it is only fitting that she sees the world and interacts with it differently. Lilith was focused and narrow-minded. Jane is wide-eyed and curious. The world opens up before you.

Please wishlist our game on Steam. We plan to release a demo that will be about 1/4th of the game.

Thank you for reading, I am so excited to share more with you.

love you all
