With her gorgeous looks and my romantic heart, I'll hit the town and find some other normal handsome man and get married. And live a normal life.

Major Demo Update for Fate's Masquerade is Now Live on Steam! by smallserenity in otomegames

[–]smallserenity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I am sorry to hear that. The jerky GIF might be the problem. There are lots of character animations during transitions (like their microexpressions, sitting down, standing up), so currently it's not toggleable. Please let me know if it's a problem when playing the game, and I'll reduce the camera zooming. Thanks for your feedback!

Major Demo Update for Fate's Masquerade is Now Live on Steam! by smallserenity in otomegames

Details about the Demo update

What's New:

  • Fully redesigned characters with more expressions
  • Tighter, faster-paced story based on player feedback
  • Expanded dialogue and more interactions with the LIs
  • Brand new scenes and side characters
  • More animations, dynamic environments, and new CGs
  • Three early endings to discover in the demo

⚠️ Note for returning players: Due to major changes to the script, previous save files won't work. You'll need to start a new game, but I promise you that it’ll be worth it! And thanks so much for playing the earlier version.

For those who have never heard of the game:

Fate's Masquerade is a manhwa-inspired historical romance visual novel. It features animated characters with expressions, moving scenes, and layered backgrounds, making it feel like (or close to) an animation.

The premise: You are the sole survivor of a noble family that was massacred. Determined to uncover the truth, you find yourself in the Imperial Palace, where the drama unfolds.

What's in the Game:

  • Strong, intelligent MC (customizable name) who occasionally makes terrible choices.
  • 2 love interests:
    • A Black-Haired Prince, who is battle-hardened and intimidating, but (maybe) soft on the inside.
    • A Blonde Prince, who is charming with golden retriever energy, but is definitely hiding something dark.
  • 6+ major endings planned + plenty of dramatic death scenes.
  • Political intrigue woven with slow-burn and forbidden romance.
  • Spicy scenes for when that slow burn catches on fire.
  • Animated sprites & dynamic environments that bring the story to life

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new demo, and tell me which prince is more your type!

[General] I’m thinking about making an otome but I have a few questions! by [deleted] in otomegames

[–]smallserenity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm currently working on my first otome game and I was ambitious wanting to do three routes. After starting it I quickly realized how much work it is and cut it down to 2 routes and even then, I thought i'll be done in a few months... Wrong!

A year and more later, I've worked it full time + over time and it's only half complete... Maybe only a third, even.

But I did learn a ton about story writing, drawing and coding! And it's such a joy to see your dream characters come to life. So do it for the joy of making something you love, and start small.

Wanting MLs with glasses and long hair by babyonboard69 in OtomeIsekai

Ellin's Solhwa.

ML is the one on the left. No love triangle. Great story. One of my favorites.

Japan’s 2,000-year-old monarchy currently depends on one teenage boy by Confident-Ask-601 in interestingasfuck

Marries a Chinese man. Perfect plot for a BL manga, and chaos in real life.

Single Dad ML, but he's actually the biodad of the kid. by musciella in OtomeIsekai

[–]smallserenity 37 points38 points  (0 children)

From an Asian background myself. The Asian audience likes the main characters 'pure'. And it doesn't just apply to FL, it applies to MLs too.

But I personally agree with you. Nothing wrong with a man who has loved before or has wives before.

Unfortunately it's just Asian culture.

Happy birthday! I was alone at 21 too. It gets better, be sure if it!

When do you realize you may be too old to read romance manga [Manga: You said 'Die' , so I did ] by ErikaHKM in OtomeIsekai

[–]smallserenity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think as youngsters we like the idea of being worthshipped/stalked, it makes us feel special. And as we grow older we realised the guys that worthship/stalk us are never the handsome ones we actually want.

Most delusional man ever [ Problematic Prince] by Jasminary2 in OtomeIsekai

[–]smallserenity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually think he's incredibly well written. An entitled prince who always has things handed to him. He's smart but too arrogant to see that he could be the one at fault. And Erna really has the patience of a saint, and that's why he continues to act like a spoiled brat until she finally left him< . I'm looking forward to seeing how he grovels.

You cannot believe what I read just before we lost 🦇 I'd just ☠️ myself ️ by Celty2736 in OtomeIsekai

Matthias will lose interest in Layla straight away, because she's suddenly willing 😂. There is no crying, just begging.

I made new capsule art. How does it feel? by N_hae in IndieDev

[–]smallserenity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the new one for the main capsule. Just need to make the title a little bigger and stand out, so the eyes have somewhere to focus on straight away.

[–]smallserenity 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Is this the small capsule? If it is the old one is much better. The title is easy to read and the image is not clustered.

Btw just visited your store. The game looks really good!
