✦SYNOPSIS✦

Chris Winter, find himself alone and lost in a black void filled with nothing but coldness. The only warmth you feel comes from your breath. In this void the young boy sees a door filled with light, trying to reach the door only leads to the boy to fall deep into a world filled with nothing but nonsense.

Only when you find the key, then you’ll be able to leave. ✦DOWNLOAD DEMO HERE✦ (Itch.io)|(RMN)|(GameJolt)

✦ADDITIONAL INFO✦

This is only the demo of Verloren, which takes place in the intro of the game. The full game is still in development, because of this the demo shouldn’t be viewed as the final product. Things such as graphics, music, and/or scenes change from now to the full release may change.

Special Thanks To: @zmakesgames​ @meaka​ For testing the demo.

Do you have any favorite AUs of your games or projects?

Hmm, I don’t have many AUs of my games in the first place, though for Mr. K’s protagonist, Kohei, I have lots! My personal favorite is a younger version of him that I like to call “Ouji Kohei”, as he’s grown up in a different environment from his official story/shown in the game and tends to wear ouji clothes. He’s also slightly different personality-wise and leads a different lifestyle, too.

Here’s an image of Ouji Kohei that I drew as a reference!

As for other projects….. I-I have lots with a certain fellow dev and their game, but it would mean I dwell into personal things and possible spoilers about said game!

♪ヽ(´▽｀)/ I played through Starlit and I really loved it! Do you have a favorite character or section from it?

Ahh hello anon! Thank you so much for playing the game, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Here’s my answer in regards to your question (spoilers ahead!):

I really love Seirios design-wise, and Sol as a character! The latter is a literal child who grew up too soon and doesn’t have any experience whatsoever. He’s very dependent on Seirios and Luneth and that’s why he really wants validation from them! But he has to learn how to be his own person, though it’s also true he didn’t have the best backstory, which is why he shows some issues. I do hope to explore more of him if I’ll ever make the sequel!

As for section, I think the 70V3 room is my absolute favorite. It’s the one I worked on the most and it’s very important for the entire game, and establishes one of the plot points. It’s very nostalgic, sad and bittersweet.

You’re always such a sweetheart!! Q^Q

Thank you so much! q^q 💙

🌺!

🌺Starlit Droplet was supposed to be way longer than it was! You were able to explore more of the Astral Plane, and you would meet NPCs that would give you hints or interact with Seirios in general.

In particular, there used to be a certain character named “Io”, but they were moved onto the sequel!

[rukomura-games]

🌺🌺 a bouquet!

🌺 During Mr. K’s development, the main hub was to be similar to an amusement park, where each area was an “attraction” that Kohei would visit. Due to time constraints and no inspiration on how to make it look like, in the demo it only appears as a space floating into nothingness.

🌺 One of the many name candidates for Seirios were “Polaris”, “Castoris” (which was a variant of “Castor”), “Pollux” and “Centauri”! In the end I settled for “Sirius”, but as I wanted it to sound a more unique and different, I picked the Greek version of the name.

[rukomura-games]

🌺

🌺 As with Mr. K, Starlit Droplet has two obscure easter eggs that are, instead, accessible in-game. They say it’s in a red room and two specific names have to be put, I wonder which they are… 👀👀👀

[rukomura-games]

🌺🌺

🌺Corallo’s earliest draft was that of a rich woman with black hair who lived in a mansion with red walls. Her room was supposed to be all red/brown/bourdeaux and you’d explore her mind as you uncovered a crime that she had commited and would drive her mad.

The actual plot is much different, as proto-Maya went from an “executioner” to “victim”!

🌺Mr. K contains certain unused item descriptions that I couldn’t implement due to time constraints, but I wonder if you open the game in MV and check what you’ll find…? 👀

[rukomura-games]

🌺 ages on the characters?

🌺TRAMPLED FLOWER:

Quinn: Around 16, headcanon (it’s not stated/left ambiguous in canon)

🌺CORALLO:

Maya: Looks 24

🌺MR. KOHEI’S HORROR SHOW:

Kohei: 43 canonically, slightly younger in-game

Starlit Droplet characters and any from their universe have no age.

Should you have a specific question on an obscure character not listed here, do let me know!

[rukomura-games]

🌺?

🌺Out of all three designs of Starlit Droplet, Seirios was the hardest to come up with!I really wanted to give them a very distinct look, not only because they’re one of the main characters, he’s also supposed to be the Star Leader and a relevant figure for everyone in the Astral Plane.

In actuality, the most I struggled with was their hair (and I still do whenever I draw them), the clothes came kinda natural to me, ahaha!

[rukomura-games]

QvQ 💙🌺🌺

q^^q Oh look, a cutie 💙

🌺Kohei’s character goes back as far as summer 2014. At first, he was supposed to be a normal nice guy who was outgoing and a bit of a overpositive fella, but as time passed and I roleplayed as him he became much, much more.

Mr. Kohei’s horror show was a way for me to put his full backstory in motion through a game, and show the full development he had through it.

🌺Maya’s favorite sea creatures are jellyfish! She really likes how so many different species exist of them and how varied they are, compared to mermaids themselves.

The Fate of my Games

Due to this post, I felt it would be nice to have a single place where I disclose the fate of those games of mine that are still prototypes/demos.

I am still not sure when I’ll come back with a new project or not, but I am indeed working on a short idea that will help me. I hope I can show it soon!

Corallo: HIATUS/To be remade As much as I love Corallo and it was always a joy to make assets for it, I feel like the game in its state and the plot I had planned don’t represent me as much anymore. I have grown, improved on my skills and can clearly see the messy writing all over the place. For now, the game is still on indefinite hiatus, the download will be up for everyone until I remake it, and it’s possible it will not be a fangame anymore. We’ll see.

Mr. Kohei’s Horror Show: To be remade As I mentioned in the post above, Mr. K will be quite the longest game I’ve ever done and it requires effort. The remake from the ground up (assets wise) will be made on VX Ace. This is quite a change but I feel much more comfortable on Ace than on MV, where I had quite a few problems.

The Guardian Siblings/Twins Game: CANCELED

Sunlight Ray (Sequel to Starlit Droplet): Early Planning I am working on a plot and trying to make sense of the ideas that I have in my brain. I have a diagram of the outline and I already planned some characters, but there’s still a long way to go. No assets or maps design are done yet. This project *might* be completely different from the previous entry, but it’s hard to say this early.
