Game is off Hiatus!! But has been completely reworked from the ground up. We will be posting a new page in the Works in Progress thread as soon as we finish a couple more art assets. Keep your eyes pealed! =D
Take an adventure to a fantastical new land! A sudden storm has swept your Hot Air Balloon to a strange island that seems to be ruled powerful Weather Entities!? Learn to navigate the strange winds to search and explore. Will you try to befriend those that live here or venture into the darkest corners to find things unknown?
Hortensia / Horace (MC, name changeable, gender changeable)

Pulse - The Western Entity

Derecho - The Eastern Entity
A very vain type who wishes to make everything beautiful. Though sometimes that means blowing down things they deem ugly.

Noble and regal. Monsoon is a quiet, thoughtful sort who carries a lot of presence wherever they goes.

This game will be more akin to a Choose Your Own Adventure story then your garden variety VN. Many possible paths with many possible endings, good or bad.
We're aiming for a March demo but will be continuing the game onward to a full finished game. Since we have no idea how to make small games. OTL Hopefully a strict deadline will really get us moving. =D

This is such an interesting idea, and the concepts are gorgeous! The fact that it's a choose your own adventure makes it so, so much better. I can't wait to play it!
misspells everything as unicorn. Call me Namio. They/them. | Honest Critique
Oh noooo this sounds adorable and I'm very interested in the areas you can explore! The game being a CYOA opens up even more possibilities aaA. I love the title and the logo. The customizable protagonist is interesting and I love their hats! All the entities have such lively designs! I really like Sleet's and Derecho's personalities. The protagonists, Derecho and Monsoon have my favorite designs though! Good luck on your project!
You can call me either Weenily or Gaile! They/them pronouns please and thank you.
GREAT character design, I love how elegant the entities look and how they borrow fashion styles from different cultures. Also, I admire how you chose a CYOA story, it looks quite more complex to write than your average linear plot.
Really intrigued by all this, can't wait for your next update!
Nice, very nice. I love games where the player can choose to play as a female or male. The plot seems interesting and I would very much like to play the game when it's released.
I wish you good luck!
I like the concept art, and how it synthesizes a bunch of different styles, like steampunk, anime, and watercolor painting. I definitely spent some time reading CYOA books back in the day, so I'm excited to see how you'll approach that. Sounds like some interesting possibilities.
I loved Sleet and Derecho! They're my favorite! I'm thinking about all the things Derecho could do for beauty's sake xD I'm excited about the possibilities. I love this feel of 'making your own adventure'. Very excited about this one (and the options for the main character are great, I love when I can change the gender)!
Oooooh, really nice! Interesting! I like it!
Good luck to you guys, I really want to see what comes out of this, it got me hyped!
Since writting is hard, let me tell you this: I just finished my degree in videogame developement, and I'm really good at finding loopholes in story, character and design, and also providing solutions. I'm like a beta tester but for design instead of mechanics, haha.
If you need any review or feedback with the script, lore or whatever, be sure to message me because I'd love to help you with this project.
Hortensia's sprite face is done~ And the Intro is all outlined! Since the intro is pretty long we'll probably start putting things together for the demo. Exciting!
