Second playthrough done!
My first Phyre was a level-headed, polite Banu Haqim while my Lasombra guy was the definition of a nasty man.
Had a ton of fun with the game, the foreshadowing was DELICIOUS ✨

Had a ton of fun working with the game's artist to capture what a proper Etruscan lady would have looked like circa 300 BC ✨
Her robes are inspired by frescos, while this jewelry is based on an earring displayed in a museum. Over 2000 years old and still as lustrous as the day it was made!

I'm collecting reference paintings like one collects Pokémon cards (and if I find a cheap local printer, my favorites might even end up on my wall).

The Summer Sales are upon us, which means Steam is utterly unusable for the next couple of hours.

Have I chosen an engine for the next project? Not yet.
But is the script writing progressing smoothly at least? Yep 😄
I won't have any art for several months, so... here, have another reference painting instead!

Small update: the script is pretty fire so far, but I ran into the dreaded 'what engine am I going to use?' conundrum, which is usually pretty straightforward but this time has me stumped, especially because I have exactly 3.5 choices.
