Joke - Always start with a joke, they say.

A discussion between two magi became so heated that they literally threw books at each other,

it was quite a violent exchange of words.

Main Character - Visual Design Available

You can see yourself in the game now if you so choose. Vyn fen Aran has always been a concrete character with a past and a personality when we started writing The Remainder, and now we've finally found a design that resonates with how we see them in our heart (The cover image for this post).

For now, all you see is the image in the mirror, but with more funding from you, our dear supporters, we intend to create scene arts where Vyn appears. More funding will mean more variations of their design, each unique and fit to be High Magus. You can also choose not to have a visual representation if for some reason the design does not resonate with you. 

Vyn is not the only thing to step out of the shadows in this update, however...

New Character - Friend or Foe?

A wild character appears! At the end of Act 1, you will meet a mysterious figure and have the choice of interacting with them in a significant way in future acts, which brings me to...

Act 2 - Full Steam Ahead

We've decided to produce act 2, and potentially more acts, full-time starting from now. It should be completed within ~3 months' time and be a tad shorter in length but much wider in width than act 1, by which we mean more branching possibilities. We'd also like to make overall improvements to the game, including adding more scene arts, more professional music, possibly more character and scene animations, all of which depends on how much funding we receive, which is where you come in...

Ko-fi Goal

With the launch of our ko-fi page, we've already begun receiving generous support from backers, for which we're endlessly grateful.

We plan to set up goals so that you know exactly where your funding is going, for example, the current goal is: 

Unlock 1x scene art with Ilar and MC, and it's currently 40% funded. 

As a backer, you will be able to vote on art, music, and writing that you'd like to see more of, and have a say in the game's development.

You will also get a collection of other exclusive rewards, such as...

Story And Tea With Ilar

Story and Tea with Ilar is an interactive fiction experience that's part of our backer reward. Every two weeks or so, Ilar brings you a special tea blend, a new pastry, and a short story from The World of ~2000 words. The first story has already gone out to early supporters, and it's a great way to learn more about The Remainder's characters and world-building, and a great way to support us.

You can buy episode 1 of Story And Tea now on this page for $2, and become one of our backers, which reminds me, I've been meaning to say this, and I fear I can never say it enough, but... 

Thank You, Dear Supporters

We're extremely pleased and grateful for all the support you've given us, your comments, rating, funding, and the time you spent playing and interacting with us in some way have all been valuable in helping us create. Thank you!
