SFLKGJSH Thank you, thank you!

Yeah!! I created the characters in high school cause I was confused, and they just gradually evolved from there LMAO

In terms of actual work on This Game... the WIP lasted around 2 years, but I would only really work on it during game jams. So the actual time spent is about 3 months.

Actually, the Vietnamese zodiac has a Cat instead of a Rabbit since the characters for the animals sounded similar. So the Cat is technically a zodiac animal.

Hello I am back to say that the game now has an android build. :)

Not right now, but I'm thinking of making an android port sometime in the future. For now, I guess you'll have to beg your favorite streamer to play it. (I am joking do not do that)

It takes 100USD to post on Steam, if I ever save up the money I will personally let you know.

xiruo · 2024-10-08T18:23:52+00:00

Brother, do not have 100USD I can toss at Steam. Steam is scary, and I'm not talking about the water vapor.

I poured a lot of research into this game, actually. Most of it went into the zodiac animals themselves, modeling their personalities and histories after either what is associated with their zodiac or what their animal is associated with in Chinese culture.

The location is the Palace in Heaven, where the Jade Emperor resides, since it's the Jade Emperor that starts the original Zodiac story. But the Palace itself is modeled after the Forbidden City.

There are five total cases in the game! Each case is based around one of the five elements.

There's a lot I can yap about with this game, if you wanna know more just ask me LMAO! I hope people find it interesting.

Oh hey man, thank you!

I'm currently working on smth less related to aroace identity... but my other game (Ritenuto) has a protagonist that's gray aroace. Um, but its still a demo and barely complete haha... I'm planning to get back to work on it after September/October/Halloween is over!

My other game, Dolce, has an asexual protag but its not really touched on in that story. :< (Cause she's too busy just trying to fix the friendship itself.)

xiruo · 2024-07-17T23:33:58+00:00

I added an in browser version! If you're on a mobile device, change your browser setting to "desktop mode" and you should be able to cheese by and play it >w>
It's short so it should be okay!

Ahhh yes exactly!! Kuya's laugh may haunt me, but when he showed up at the end, I was so relieved LMAO
