Hi Bluesky! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

I'm a solo developer currently developing Forlorn Memories, an old-school inspired steampunk fantasy RPG with monster catching, farming, and dating sim elements.

I'm excited to share my little game dev journey here as well! 💙

I’ve recently decided to start a small devlog series on itch.io to share my progress, both old and new, the ups and downs, and that will eventually lead up to my first demo release. I’ve already started on the second entry, but got interrupted by my birthday. 😅

Hey Granola, that’s understandable. I’ve lowered the server’s security level. I hope it works now, but if not, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

I took again a bit longer, but as I mentioned in my previous post, I’ve now created a new Discord server for my projects. It’s still pretty empty 😅, but I’m currently working on restoring everything the old server had. 😊 💙

Concept art for Laizehl, a party member and social link.

Laizehl is a wind adept and one of the remaining members of the Kerta clan. Reliable but a handful, Laizehl sets out on a journey in pursuit of revenge.

Regarding Forlorn Memories I have decided after a long time that I’ll be opening a new Discord server soon and launching a devlog series on itch.io to better explain what the game is about share my development journey including its ups and downs and lead up to the demo release I promised so long ago

After years of ups & downs, my previous passion project Liquidation, a multiplayer RTS now under new leadership is finally seeing the light of day! I’m so glad the time and effort I poured into this little love letter to the RTS genre wasn’t in vain. 😭💙

Top-down RTS skirmish: gold-blue and red infantry units clash under heavy rain, exchanging bright energy blasts among dense forest foliage.

This city operates as the main party's hub. Once a bustling border town for travelers, now a remote spot in the mountains rarely visited by adventurers.

Sorry for the late reply. 🙇 I have a feeling it might be difficult to achieve now, especially because of my radio silence and the longer development cycle caused by my illness. But I’m currently in talks with a publisher who might be willing to support me with the current state of the project.

As for your question, older female characters (30+ years) who are romanceable are already part of the game, but they weren’t mentioned on the website due to story-related spoilers.

Hi, sorry for my absence and late reply, I’ve been dealing with some health issues again and job hunting on top of that. Thank you so much for your kind words about Forlorn Memories, it really means a lot to me!

Super happy to hear about this! Even though it won’t help with my own heart condition, I really hope it becomes widely available someday to help as many people as possible who are waiting for a donor transplant.

Reminds me of the time when Unity suddenly decided to take hours to create a build, and right in the middle of it, my PC decided to blue screen, corrupting the entire Unity project... Ah yeah good times.

Here's another area of Peregrine Wood, where the party comes across a spooky ancient ritual site on their way out of the forest towards the treacherous Aeramount Peak!
