#dating simulation

Various art pieces I've done over the months of my original characters (most of which will appear in the dating sim, hehe)

Make sure to check out my pinned post and the poll on it if you're curious about the dating sim !!

I'm about to begin working on a dating sim game featuring my original world and characters alongside some friends of mine, but first I need YOUR HELP with finalising the line-up of dateable characters!

The currently decided dateables are as follows (with varied art pieces I've done of them included for visualisation purposes):

Enatras (he/him): known best for being the king of the Orchels, more commonly known as "dark gods". He's the god of destruction and the void, and he's had a history of violence. Currently he's trying to repent for his past actions by establishing diplomatic ties to his brother's group of gods. He's sarcastic, slightly suspicious, and definitely still seems evil despite his right-hand woman trying to assure you that he's just acting like that for fun.

Lendelrem (he/they/she): the god of life and death, their main job involves collecting spirits of those willing to move on and reincarnating them as plants and animals. They seem blank faced and unfeeling at first, but there's a lot of complex emotions hidden beneath their mask.

Karmelerre (she/they): Acrente's twin sister and the god of knowledge, she's one of the most responsible gods and takes her job very seriously. They act put together and strong in public, but behind the ornate doors of their library rests a tired woman, seeking comfort in the strong halls of books. She dedicates a large portion of their time to cleaning up their brother's messed.

Acrente (he/they): Karmelerre's twin brother and the god of creativity, known and widely loved by mortals for the huge parties they throw alongside their best friend. His irresponsible and fun loving demeanour is near constant, but when it falls it falls hard.

THE OPTIONS FOR THE FINAL 2 DATEABLES:

Soubern (she/her): the god of summer and one of the royal children, Soubern is the brightest of all her siblings. Lights up a room like sunlight and brings with her the warmth of summer. A comforting and kind character, known to fall in love easily. She also loves wearing the worst colour combinations known to god-kind as a way to annoy her brother.

Purzentry (he/they): the god of cats and adoptive father or Bezenade (god of bees). Purzentry is gruff and unfriendly at first, yet fiercely protective of their child. They're slow to warm up to new people, and he tends to linger in quiet places. Has seen a lot in his life and now wants to focus on their family.

Lozured (she/him): god of love in all its forms, she has a tendency to latch onto new people and make sure they know how amazing they are. An extremely positive god with a loving demeanour, he uses a lot of pet names and nick names for people, and is big on all forms of affection and love.

Unexrial (he/him): the Orchel god of death, Unexrial is pretty much the exact opposite of Lendelrem. Energetic, loud, and very expressive, Unexrial is widely viewed as one of the two nicest Orchel gods. As an added bonus, he comes with a dog/bug/thing (Dyanyre, the shadow creature depicted with him below).

PLEASE VOTE FOR WHO YOU'D LIKE TO PURSUE IF YOU WERE TO PLAY THIS GAME IN THE POLL BELOW

Words of Wisdom by Omen Morningstar, the Prince of Hells. These moments were from the few that seriously impressed me.

*I* get to decide whether I play the game again.

Not you.

I hated the game for valid reasons because of its sexism, homophobia and ableism against people with mental illnesses.

Telling me to play the game despite its major problems is just plain r u d e.

You liked that game? Fine. You keep on playing it.

But don't tell me again that I should play it.

This is a venting post. You won't change my mind by being rude. Anyone being rude will be blocked by me immediately.
