I'm not exactly sure how I missed seeing this thread earlier, but wow...this really looks like it's going to turn out great. The premise intrigues me greatly and the art is very stylish. I look forward to seeing where this leads.

She looks scary, in my humble opinion maybe she's a Yakuza.
...Or the type that will kill people in an instant.

The drawing is unique. Her looks and her expression matches.

..........While Takemitsu looks cunning.

Good luck, taleweaver! (and blakjak)

Nice job on getting that artist! A lot of my projects go under due to the inability to get decent artwork. And I guess you don't need a composer anymore with that soundtrack then, eh?

Well - there's nothing wrong with knowing another decent composer, I guess, especially since EsperKnight isn't just working at I/O but also has a few other projects. Chances are he'll require some music besides what's needed for this game. Do you have anything to show?

Okay, as I promised last time in here, finally a short story teaser...

For over a decade now, I've been living together with my twin brother, Akagi. Life at his side sure isn't easy, as he is everything I am not: short-tempered, violent, unwilling to take a no, even unwilling to compromise. Most of the time, fortunately, he just stays inside while I handle life for the two of us. I see to it that other people-idiots, all of them-don't get too close to us and never disturb us in the peace and quiet and boredom that is our daily routine.

Everything would be much easier, of course, had my brother not died before we both were born. Now his soul lives within my body
that is actually MY body and there is NO FUCKING WAY this idiot brother of mine is actually going to keep me contained here forever. He's a weak, whining, whimpering coward unable to stand up for himself, and without me, he'd probably squeeze himself into a mousehole and starve to death. It is I, I alone, who can achieve anything for the two of us.

What, you got a problem with that, suckers?

Oooooh. Very interesting. I like! The pic of Akagi laughing reminds me of Light from Death Note... :)
I released 3 VNs, many moons ago: Elven Relations (IntRenAiMo 2007), When I Rule The World (NaNoRenO 2005), and Cloud Fairy (the Cute Light & Fluffy Project, 2009).
More recently I designed the board game Steam Works (published in 2015), available from a local gaming store near you!
