Scarlet Dream
A downloadable game
The game is currently in development. To track weekly progress, visit the Dev Blog here! and follow the Twitter here!
Story Synopsis:
The land of Erath is one of swords and sorcery, and has been for a long time. On a small Island two small kingdoms, Rey and Kairum, have contested the land since the former was founded. It has recently become a full scale war again. In middle of this, Myr wakes up mute and amnesiac, like all good RPG heroes. He wakes in the kingdom of Rey, and must work for the king there if he wants to search for clues about his past. Along the way, he is joined by a knight, a magician, an archer, and many more.
About:
Scarlet Dream is the crossbreed of an RPG and Visual Novel. While many RPGs include Visual Novel and dating-sim mechanics, few of those are available depicting a duo of dudes. Some call this subgenre Yaoi or BL, ...or even Gaymes!
Any way you slice it, mixing elements outside of the visual novel standard should spice up the genre! As an Indie Developer, I was determined to add some spice to the scene. Thus, Scarlet Dream was born!

Has production stopped?
Thanks for asking!
Not completely but production is super slow. I'm the only dev of Scarlet Dream, and my day job has me working 10~12 hour shifts 6 days a week. I do all the art, sprites, writing, extra code, and everything so there's not much to show for what's been done.
While I was planning to make a beta release this year, that's been shelved until overtime stops at work, and I don't know when that will be.
I understand thanks for the experience so far, I hope all ends out well for you. I will have to check back sometime next year :)
Thanks for your extreme patience! Hopefully I can get more of this cooked up and ready for public eye.
oooh this game is bloody good!!
Are you all prepared for the second demo?
Even thought I´m not a fan of a mini RPG videogame (pokemon style) I must admit that your ilustrations and colors look really interesting! ;)
Thanks! I do pride myself on art, and I'm glad that appeals to you despite the genre!
IM SO HYPED I've been following development of this on tumblr for so long and now THERE'S A DEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo! I hope you enjoy it~! And thanks so much~
