Laments of a Valiant Rose Demo on Steam now!

Valiant Rose is on track to have the demo released publicly on June 30th. This is very exciting to me. So much has been done. June 30th is a special day because I believe that was the day I first started work on LoaPR. So in 1 year the concept of this story went from test assets I ripped off the Internet, to a full steam release AND the demo for the next game.

I don't want to sound egotistical, I'm just very excited about this. LoaPR was partially started over frustration about starting concepts and never finishing them, so having turned a new leaf and actually being able to get my art out there feels huge to me. It's scary in an exciting way. I want to make something meaningful.

Valiant Rose can be wishlisted on Steam, which is where the demo will be available at the end of the month. Any questions or comments, feel free to send an ask here

I am so excited to share "LoaVR" with you all. In many ways, we are taking the elements of Laments of a Platinum Rose and expanding them. But at the same time, the expansion is a natural side effect of telling a different story. So although this game is a bigger and more ambitious realization of "LoaPR"'s gameplay concepts, LoaPR doesn't become outdated or in need of an update, as its use of its elements remains appropriate. I'm hoping you'll all understand what I mean better when the game comes out, it's weird to vocalize.

Like I said in the intro, we are hoping that for next month's devblog I will be telling you guys to go play the demo. The demo will of course be free, be about 1/4th of the total game, and available on Steam first. You can wishlist the game now to be notified when the demo launches.

Both Norumeep and I have been very into Fallout: New Vegas lately. I played Fallout 3 around when it came out and it left like no impression on me, but New Vegas has been a ton of fun. I'm in my third playthrough right now and tempted to go for a fourth one.

Enjoy some LoaPR x New Vegas art Norumeep made. It isn't posted there but you can follow him on Instagram for more.

By far the funniest thing that has happened was when I was watching Norumeep finish his first playthrough, and when the ending cutscene started, an Enclave follower he had teleported with him to the ending slideshow room. We were in tears laughing the whole time. It's become an inside joke between us.

There's also been a lot of Tomodachi Life going on but somewhere underneath all of that is a project Norumeep and I have come to care quite a lot about, and we are both SO excited to share a snippet of it with you all.

Thank you for your interest

love you all

In Laments of a Valiant Rose, the player can see the world of Luminary, Nexus, through the eyes of Jane Perdita, who is now abdicated of her role as Queen.

In many ways, Valiant Rose is an evolution of Platinum Rose, especially in terms of presentation and gameplay elements. I feel like the things that made Platinum Rose distinct are much more distinct and realized here. This is a side effect of me improving and growing more confident as a programmer and developer, but also a product of the different story I'm telling. Although I consider this to be an evolution of those concepts, it would not be fitting to go back to Platinum Rose and change anything as what is there totally fits that story.

Jane is a wildly different protagonist than Lilith was, and so it is only fitting that she sees the world and interacts with it differently. Lilith was focused and narrow-minded. Jane is wide-eyed and curious. The world opens up before you.

Please wishlist our game on Steam. We plan to release a demo that will be about 1/4th of the game.

Thank you for reading, I am so excited to share more with you.

love you all
