Ronove's Blackbirds

I posted this a few days ago and something was bugging me, so I deleted it, and fiddled with it more. I like it a little better now.

HUZZAH!!

The demo is here! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

I'm really excited and I hope everyone will check it out!

You can download it on Steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4329100/Our_Wonderland/

Some fast facts about the demo:

Covers Arc 1 of the game (so around 2-3 hours)

Comes with all the new features and art for Arc 1 (which is more than what was already available in the previous alpha builds from last year)

Progress and achievements will carry over into the full game (you won't actually get any achievements while playing the demo; however, any achievements you would have gotten will be automatically unlocked once you start up the full game)

Includes a super cool exclusive artwork that will only be available in the demo! You'll be able to download it as a wallpaper once you complete the demo  ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

Please consider giving it a go! I'm already so nervous and feeling so overshadowed by the thousands of other popular games also participating in the fest LOL My little game feels so tiny in comparison. But I hope it can do well! And bring in some visibility for the game leading into the launch!

Once the full game launches I'll be removing the demo and also removing download links for the OG game on itchio.

The Pirate and the Potioneer: a Rival "What If?" Novella!

What if Ambrose was a potioneer on Eli’s pirate ship?

When pirates kidnap Navy potioneer Ambrose Beake and press him into service, he strikes a deal with them: he’ll serve the scallawags until he saves enough money to open a potion shop on land. Sweet, steady, pirate-less land.

Unfortunately for Ambrose, shops cost gold: half a decade’s worth of gold, at a time when pirates barely last a year in their dangerous profession. So, when Captain Eli Valenz- oddly caring, unfortunately handsome- proposes they hunt for buried treasure, they set sail to secure Ambrose’s future together.

But far more than storms and rum shortages lie in the pirates’ way. To reach the island of treasure, they must battle krakens, evil commodores… and their own feelings for each other.

Based on the characters in A Rival Most Vial, this novella is a fun, self-indulgent, swashbuckling “what if” adventure from Ambrose’s point of view, with guest appearances from Rosemond Street and a few faces from books 2 and 3 of the Side Quest Row series.

HERE WE ARE—RELEASE DAY for The Protector and the Annihilation, an LGBTQ+ epic science fantasy with a vast world and galactic stakes, but most importantly, gays!

It's available first on Amazon and Itch dot Io.

Will be available wide on the 15th!

You can get The Protector and the Annihilation here.

When Armando makes a promise to his rival Ranvir, their far-off planet changes. Especially as children begin to drop in through time and push them to confront their past. Eventually, they start having to look out for him. Their son, Antonio, who waits in the future.
