GLAD TIDINGS - A WYLL x ASTARION VISUAL NOVEL

CHECK IT OUT NOW ON ITCH.IO!!!

Writer: partingxshot / @wufflesvetinari (This is adapted from a fanfiction with the same name. You can read the original story on AO3 here)

Art and programming: Winifred Dinh

Synopsis

You are ULDER RAVENGARD. Your son is completely besotted with his fiancé, but you can’t figure out the appeal. He’s spoiled, and petty, and seems chiefly concerned with draining the Ravengard coffers. You are, frankly, at your wits’ fucking end. Surely the only solution is to declare an INSANE SECRET WAR on him before he can ruin the MIDWINTER'S EVE BALL. This cannot possibly backfire. [A choose-your-own-adventure Astarion son-in-law simulator. Happy Holidays! Or possibly the opposite of that.]

This is my first time making a visual novel! Likes and reblogs are appreciated 💕 And if you have played it, I would love to hear your thoughts or see a rating/review on itch.io!

I’m incredibly grateful to partingxshot for creating such a wonderful fanfic, giving me permission to adapt it, and helping me with playtesting.

Summary:

You are ULDER RAVENGARD.

Your son is completely besotted with his fiancé, but you can’t figure out the appeal. He’s spoiled, and petty, and seems chiefly concerned with draining the Ravengard coffers. You are, frankly, at your wits’ fucking end.

Extremely iconic and wonderful fic!! Adapting this masterpiece has been an honor!!

Here is a small sneak peek of the Wyllstarion visual novel - Glad Tidings, where you play from the perspective of Wyll's father (adapted from a fanfic with the same name by partingxshot / @wufflesvetinari)

The release date is now set at Sunday, 30/11, 14:00 CET. I'm so excited for everyone to finally play it!!

[winifreddinh]

Reminder that this will be released on Sunday this week aaaaaaa

I really can't wait for people to play it!!

Old art from 2022 that I look back and still actually like

It's a fanart of a Jojo part 5 fanfic by queenieofaces (a Giorno Giovanna character study), you can read it here. Highly recommend for Girono's fan!

and if you saw this somewhere else on twitter back then, it was my side account that is now only used to retweet stuff I like

[winifreddinh]

I drew this back cover for the Wyllstarion fanbook. I finished it before seeing the front cover, but I think they still work well together somehow. You can see the gorgeous front cover by Orangiah and more about the book here and here.

This illustration shows the dance scene you normally get in Wyll’s romance route, so the front cover feels like what happens right after haha.

I'm so so so excited to hold this book in my hands and for everyone to see it. The Wyllstarion fandom is incredible, and everyone has worked so hard on this!!

There is also another illustration of mine in the book that I will share on a later day!

[zigraves]

The Wyllstarion fanbook is here! I am now awaiting the sticker sheets that will go with it, and hopefully by this weekend will be ready to start packing things up and posting them out so that everyone can have their very own copies to have and hold as well.

Finally. You get to spend the tiefling party the way the gods intended: in the warm embraces of your infernally-graced admirers.

Wyllstarion Fan Book!

There is a Wyllstarion fanbook about to be printed.

It contains the work of dozens of fans who've contributed excerpts, fan-fic, meta-analysis, and art. It will be over 200 pages of full-colour paperback with fully illustrated back, front and interior covers, with all the interior content lovingly formatted. It will have a matte, anti-scuff cover for durability.

It will cost ONLY what it costs to have printed and shipped, because this is a fan piece and nobody wants to do anything legally stupid like try making money from fanfic.

And if you pre-order, it will also come with sticker sheets.

You can pre-order here (please see price estimates for book production & shipping): https://forms.gle/TJSVwyH2mriMGZCe9

And you can behold the beautiful cover and preview the contents and formatting below:

The pre-order form will only be open for a few days, to help get an idea of a reasonable run to get printed.

After that, some will still be available on request.

A digital copy will also be available, with some extras such as podfic recordings, once the print run is done. The digital version will be free.

[zigraves]

Delighted to say that pre-orders are now CLOSED and this has been sent to print!

Physical copies will arrive with me early next week, whereupon I will do a quality check to make sure it's all copacetic and begin working out shipping costs for everyone who filled out the form, and then sending out the "hello, please paypal me £bookmoney so that I can send you the book" emails.

I will also be getting the run of sticker pages printed and picking up several dozen mailing bags suitable for international shipping.

And now that you have seen the front cover and contents, how about a sneak preview of the back cover, credits and thank-yous?

if you missed the pre-order but still want a copy, there will be just ten more available - message me here or on discord (zigraves) if you want one.

I am working on a Wyllstarion visual novel adaptation of the fanfic Glad Tidings by partingxshot ( @wufflesvetinari), where you play from the perspective of Wyll's father, Ulder Ravengard.

It is almost finished, and I plan to release it at the end of November or the beginning of December to fit the holiday settings in the story.

This is my first time making a visual novel. I put a lot of effort into this, so I really hope you all will enjoy it!
