Summary: Icebound is a dark fantasy visual novel that takes place in a world locked in the depths of an ice age. It features quality illustrations, a non-linear plot with multiple endings and puzzle game elements in the form of a portable alchemy kit. On the world of Permia, two races – human and feran – have forged a way of life revolving around alchemy, the ability to manipulate the forces of nature. In the north resides the Holy Empire, whose machinery and society both run like clockwork, and in the south, the Council, a powerful alliance of tribes who have mastered the spiritual arts. A wandering alchemist named Dougal winds up in the isolated town of Isenbarr with his Familiar, Isaac, hoping to find a job and earn some spending money. What he doesn’t expect to encounter is a web of intrigue involving a clockwork beast, a seductive secret agent, a priestess with mysterious powers, a mad genius, and a group of eccentric alchemists competing to vanquish a deadly monster. Nothing is certain... except that chaos will ensue. |

by your choice of pneumatic pointing apparatus. Pff, don't understand this words  Anyway, Visual Novel, that's it! I love them since I played Cinders recently. That in-game screenshot looks fabulous and if I'll have any moneys at that time I'll buy your game for sure  |

Don't worry, that's just a mechanical arm strapped to a boxing glove. Silly Imperials!
The price point will be about as much as your typical Steam-powered indie game. Which is to say, cheap enough that anyone can afford it! Even them!

Looks amazing.) |

According to the Academy, "you can post however much you would like, as long as it is not one of the 23 Forbidden Statements as dictated in the Codice of Law of our Holy Capital, Sanctum. If you would like a copy of the Codice of Law, please send the appropriate amount of Imperial currency to..." OK, forget it, just post away, I'll deal with the consequences.  |

I got rid of some of the entries because they need tweaking. I'm working on integrating minigames into the game, in the form of an alchemy kit wielded by Dougal. If it works, Icebound will no longer be a "pure" visual novel.  A demo is in the works, but only when it is released will we start actually promoting it in some substantial way. |

An update - we have gotten a minigame working, so technically Icebound is now a puzzle game... kind of. Here is a test video of the new animated menus created by yours truly: LINKWe were planning to release a demo this month, but... artistic delays. The art style is, however, being changed to be faster and more stylish. We have a new artist, and Atnas will still be on as character designer. I know I should be sending it to the voice actors, but damned if I am not indecisive about the script. This must be how the pros feel when they realize they can't edit what they wrote anymore  |

Crossposting a new screeny because hey, why not? Our main problem in getting the demo out as planned was the fact that not only did we have to switch artists, but our new main artist was heavily delayed (making everyone else want to slack off by chain reaction). The new release date will probably be this fall. 'Course, I will make sure such a thing won't happen on any of my future projects.  Also there will be animated backgrounds. *giggity* |
