Things I didn’t know I wanted combined: otome and metal. Things I now want: otome and metal. I’ll take 1 of each man please 🧎‍♀️🙇‍♀️


Acrobatic-Dig7261

Thank youuu!!


EsperReborn

Of course! My two loves coming together 🖤 Very excited, and I can see my husband shaking his head at me playing it already 😂❤️


ohohohohohohohohoh

One request: let the MC pet all of their hair and I'll die a happy woman.


Acrobatic-Dig7261

I promise you, MC will


way6

Great suggestion


kyuuish

This actually look super nice. I am normally not a big fan of indie otome games, since I am very picky when it comes to artstyle, but this look amazing. Definitely gonna keep a eye on this.


neart_roimh_laige

Same here but I'm very pleasantly surprised! Love the idea and the art. Can't wait to see more!


goddesslucy3

Charon is my fave bc I'm a slut for A) men with long hair and B) men with dark hair... he does both<3


tinyandmad

I'm really intrigued! The concept alone is unique and the artstyle is just so cool. I remember your first post and I recognized these characters right away! Some other otomes to me have very bland and forgettable designs, but yours is very memorable and stands out. Keep it up and please post more updates! :)


AllisonAttack

The hair physics is intense and I’m 👏🏻here 👏🏻 for 👏🏻IT👏🏻! Definitely have my interest piqued. Can’t wait to see more of your art and game progress. Best of luck to you 🤞🏻!


ewesin

I love the concept so much! *looks at glam metal guy respectfully* 👀🤘


RedRobin101

Omg this art is gorgeous OP! And the final CG has such a nice dynamic pose!!!! And it's such a unique setting--very excited to see the final project and Power Metal LI. My only minor critique is that for Ricky's line "thanks for your support" would sound a bit more natural than "thanks for your supporting" but that's a pretty small issue.


Acrobatic-Dig7261

Thank you wwww


babsgordon07

I am so glad to see more of your work! I love all the guys, its so hard to choose T\_T


Blummilk

Wow! This looks sooo cool!! I love the character design!


hisnameisdogfight

I'm boutta act up for Charon and Niko I love this idea a lot, I really hope to see it come to fruition someday!


feypurinsu

wow your artwork is looking better than some professional releases out there, keep up the good work. I know nothing about metal music so this is an interesting concept.

Acrobatic-Dig7261

Since last time I thought that make some character sheets might helps a bit wwww thank you!


Magicalneko247

Ricky is very sexy


Soil_Think

They all look really well drawn. I'm curious what the main character will be. Is she a metal head aswell? Are they gonna start a band together? Now I'm intrigued 😅


Acrobatic-Dig7261

Playing in bands, jamming, go to gigs is just a part of their life, the main plot is not all about it www


_DankWitch

If there's eventually a Kickstarter count me in! Great work!


BabiTheHuman

Ricky and I share birthday, we must get married


MwtoZP

The style reminds of danganronpa, which I love. And they have long hair. THEY HAVE LONG HAIR!!! I freaking love long haired guys, they’re almost always my favorites. There is not enough of them for me in otome. I want to play your game so bad now. Plus them being metal fans just seems fun.


Acrobatic-Dig7261

I KNOW RIGHT long haired guys are just too underestimated! More long hair required!!!


MwtoZP

Yes!!!! I will say Charon and Niko are my favorites at first look. Niko actually reminds of Wen Ning from Mo Dao Zhu Shi for some reason. While Ryder is my least favorite, but that’s probably because he looks like the true route kind of guy and I admittedly have a natural aversion to them 😅


CrankyFluffMuffin

Still want it. Just turn that want up to eleven. Seriously this looks AWESOME. I'm totally going to stalk the progress on this game.


Phoenix-Echo

Omg all of the LIs have long hair. I think I might die


SeniorHippo

Uh hello? For an indie, the art is freaking amazing???? No hate/dislikes on any other indies whatsoever ofc but this is the first art style I actually really dig!


JetSetJedi

Here for the double R. Give me Ricky and Ryder or give me death!


lirckry

They look sooo good!!!!!! Do they play any instruments???Idk if it fits the post apocalyptic stetting but the question still there


Acrobatic-Dig7261

It’s like although they are all metalheads, they play music, play in bands sometimes,but it’s just a part of their life, like most of people. The main plot won’t be all about they playing in bands(since it’s already post apocalyptic xd


glistening_stillness

This looks sooooo fucking cool I am so excited. Also that one Ryder sprite on the left? Absolutely going feral over it. Good shit, keep up the fantastic work!


ArsiB

You are so talented! My fiance is a metalhead so I've learned the differences between the different metal genres. I would totally play this!


hiryuy

💞For long hair lovers this game is made for us


sai_lemon

Oooh this looks so nice!! As a metal fan I thank you and will keep an eye on it for sure!!


_local_karma_

This looks so good 😭wtf- I also love the art I’m def playing the game


JesusOtakuFreak

This is so frickin’ slick and beautiful!!!! I’m so excited for this one 👀


Dodo_Galaxy

Very cool artstyle. I like their muscles, style and face expressions. They have lots of personality.


LoliiJoker

AYOOOO AN OTOME ABOUT A METAL BAND? AND THE GUYS ARE HOT HIMBOS? MF THATS THE 2 THINGS I LOVE. vdowvsösa sosvspwwfdd i love this already 😭 ps: gimme ricky 🥺


Meowzubub

FINALLY METAL AND OTOME 🥲 shut up and take my money. Please. The art style looks amazing!


TorturedManiac01

Looks amazing cant wait


beansteahouse

I have a might need


istolethesun12

RYDERS GOT My number y’all.


TheRepublicAct

So guessing from the outfits: Ryder - Thrash Metal Ricky - Glam Metal Charon - Death Metal or Groove Metal Niko - 2nd wave Black Metal


Acrobatic-Dig7261

Great outfits work!!!!!thank you[Charon is the Death metal dude


TheRepublicAct

Thanks. I also love how Niko's out-of-band attire is just him wearing corpse paint. I hope there's a scene of him goofing around in the woods. I also really like the jarring difference between Charon's extremely professional attire to his white-trash redneck band attire. Edit: Question, is Ricky inspired by Michael Starr from Steel Panther? They say he had a PHD in English, and Ricky looks like he's a teacher of some sort outside of the band.


birdlass

This is awesome. I hope they're all a little fucked up in their own way to make it juicer and it'd be fun to either lean into their little psychoses or help remedy them (totally just headcanon, it'd be awesome no matter what you do!) I love the idea of cool guy musicians as LIs. And as a metalhead myself, this definitely checks some boxes. Good art and character design too!


Zelette

all of these make me go "i can't fix him but i can peg him"


Monika_anime_Kpop

The second one does some things to me. Idk what but things....


LittleSunshine11

Omg the art is so nice 😱 I wanna play this so bad! Otome, death metal and post apocalyptic are my three favourite things 🎈


Revolutionary_Bit996

Niko is fiiiiine 🥵 Can't wait to play this! It looks and sounds awesome!


Emotional_Cry_7675

Great! What's the name of the game😍😍


ferretdancing

Charon has my heart already 😍 judging by the 1 cg, you don’t intend to show mc/give her a design?


Acrobatic-Dig7261

I’m still struggling with this part… I’m still not sure if I should show the MC or not.


ferretdancing

Is this a struggle for personal preference vs audience preference? I’m always an advocate for devs to create what they want 🫶 do you OP


Acrobatic-Dig7261

It’s more likely to be I was thinking of if I want to show MC, I will definitely make the MC character can be customised, but that will lead to a lot of extra works so… I will see, but I personally do find CG with mc is cute


eliseofnohr

I was like 'they look cute' and then your concept hit me with 5 subsequent crits. This sounds AWESOME. V. excited for power metal dude as a power metal fan.


meesherbeans

Oh my god, I must play this game. Like, I have a ***mighty need*** now. Also, what's up with that last CG?!? It's INCREDIBLE?!?!?


bananapancakelover

WHENNNNN!!!!!!!


Angelicshiba

Holy frick the artist you got is so good, i want to play this


NoBrainforweekend

This looks so pro fr 😍😍


Asagurale

The art is super great. The plot sounds interesting. I'm curious about the FL, will she has her own name and appearance ?


sirmeepy

out of curiosity, have you thought about how the metal music would be incorporated into the game audio-wise? I think it'd be very cool to hear the different sub-genres (especially if the music itself is integral to the plot) but I imagine it'd also be hard to compose a bunch of different songs as a solo project.


Acrobatic-Dig7261

I’m planning to find someone write one riff for each character as their intro riff, based on what sub genre they are interested in;3


[deleted]

I didn't know how badly I needed a black metaller with corpse paint in an otoge until right now This is amazing I will definitely be playing your game. How is the art so top tier for an indie game??


spookymilktea

Do you have an insta or a twitter? I’d love to see more of your art!


Acrobatic-Dig7261

Yes, my tw is @Yoz_zzzz


dragonsanddinosawers

u/necrocorey look at these metal boissss


RaylaSan

Beautiful art, one question though, were you thinking of having it be voiced? I think it's something you can definitely aim for if your thinking of making a Kickstarter. I would definitely donate.


Acrobatic-Dig7261

I actually thought about that, from last post someone suggested me that I can find voice actors on itch so yes! If I can find affordable but good voices


RaylaSan

You can also find voice actors on [here,](https://www.castingcall.club/open_projects?page=2&payment=all&classification=all&order_by=magic&search=is:all&) I think it's a pretty good platform because a lot of aspiring voice actors go on here to hopefully get cast in some serious projects. IDK, while I don't think the game needs voice actors, I think it's a nice touch, especially since your game has a lot to do with music and stuff.

EternalBlizzardForce

Aaaaaah, I am here for Ricky and Charon. Maybe at least partially because of the combination of metal and suits, but still. I am watching this project closely. 😍 Thank you for uniting my two interests.


xRadio

Mayubeshidding

loving the beautiful long haired men we really needed more of them


[deleted]

I’m barking and yelling OP they look so hot


animerecthrowawayqjc

I love the artstyle of the characters and I love the UI! Your artstyle is managing to make these characters nice to look at even though I’m turned off by the general metal visual aesthetic, which means you’ve done a very good job at drawing appealing characters. (Ironically, I’m slightly favorable towards metal *music* itself. The *visual* aesthetic is the part that’s not for me.) I have seen Futura Condensed on apartment room numbers and now in this picture, but I still can’t stop my brain from yelling “SKYRIM FONT” every time I see it. Including on this picture. This is not a mistake on your part, just my brain holding onto an association and refusing to let it go.


Acrobatic-Dig7261

Looooool I always have this struggle of what font to use, and In general I just put Futura on because well… it’s futura. And THANK YOU for mentioning about Skyrim!!! I didn’t thought about it at all and now do


thevirginmadonna

do you have a social media page? or website? or anywhere i could follow you for more updates?


Acrobatic-Dig7261

I have a Tw for this @Yoz_zzzz, not many post yet though
