This has been something that's been teased on my Twitter, but we've also been working on a tabletop RPG concurrently with the next game! Tabletop game (TRPG) meaning one that you play with pen and paper, along with some dice!
As someone who's played a lot of Dungeons & Dragons and other systems like Vampire: The Masquerade, I've always liked studying their systems and using them to make my own - so you can say while D is working on the code of the next visual novel, I'm here working on the tabletop, lol. Though of course a lot of our work overlaps between the two.
I've been drawing art not only for the visual novel, but also for the tabletop. In the TRPG, you can make your own witch or mage, called a Mancer, and play them in the setting! The above are examples of various playable races in the world, along with different mage weapons you can wield, from wands to swords, tomes and staves!
Our plans are to continue working on these two projects and release them concurrently. You can think of the Mancer TRPG as a book containing not only rules to play as your own Mancer in our setting, but also getting more indepth lore about it! Working on the RPG helps me a lot with polishing the lore that goes into the visual novel, as we want to make a game that not only has spicy goodness, but also a cool world to be invested in!
More news to come as we develop more. Thanks for your continued support!
