Recently we had a workshop during ArcticPride week, we invited participants to envision their own characters in the Welehola universe and explore the possible ways they could be interacting with other characters through dialog prompts.

Our pitch was a massive success all together and we met with some very nice people from all walks of the industry. We got a taste of the doom and gloom, as things are rough out there currently in more ways than one, but cool heads will prevail! ❄️😤

This was the first time we got to really show our vision to actual publishers, and so it was a day of firsts all around. What's amazing about the game industry is that knowledge and practices are shared freely. Some very kind individuals gave us valuable advice at the best possible time.✌️

Last week we attended the #arcticgamedev2025 conference in Umeå, Sweden, and pitched our game! We drew the lot for the first pitch of the day, and although nervewracking, it was also a huge relief; we got our pitch out first to a fresh audience, and the rest of was smooth sailing! ⛵

Last of the character showcase: Moqha the Mentor! His foundational elements are fire, moon and earth. Hope these give a better idea on what the elements mean!

Thanks for the comments on our last post on the elements! While we'd love to just tell you what they mean, why spoil the fun? Here's one of the first characters we designed for Welehola: Fangella Angella Tarantella Dracimisdoter!
Let us know how the investigation goes!

At the center of Welehola are the seven magical energies or elements: moon, fire, earth, sun, water, air and the void. They are the primary component sorcerous workings and they manifest in emotions and personalities of living beings.
What do you think each element represents?
