You, the player, are an ambassador for Earth sent through a mysterious portal into the world of dragons. Explore a town full of secrets and the people who keep them in this compelling sci-fi visual novel with slice of life and dating sim elements.

Today marks AwSW's 6th anniversary. It's a little hard to believe so much time has already passed since the first game! To celebrate the occasion, we have added some new merch on our Redbubble store: clothing and phone cases can now be selected for some of the designs. You can find our Redbubble store here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/mbsaunders/explore?asc=u&page=1&sortOrder=top%20selling I'll also take this opportunity to provide an update about the development of my next game: Angels with Scaly Wings, part 2. In the past year, I finished writing all the content that is available during a first playthrough. All this writing has also been edited. My next tasks are implementing the editor's comments and finalizing the text, and starting to put this in the actual game (programming). Right now, I am almost done finalizing the text for chapter 1 - which in itself is the size of a novel. In total, I am estimating the final game will have a word count that is roughly twice the size of AwSW - if not more (350.000 - 400.000 words). Character designs are almost finished at this point. That means this category joins music and backgrounds, which also (almost) cover all the content that has been written so far. We have also made significant progress with the in-game character sprites, though we still have a fair amount left to do. Last year was also the year we wanted to make big strides with CGs (the big illustrations accompanying certain events which are usually only seen once in a playthrough). Unfortunately, we haven't made as much progress on this front as we would have liked. We still have a lot of work to do here! I remain committed to bring my vision for this game to life in the best way we can. With this in mind, when should you expect to be able to play the game? I don't want to promise too much, so I'll say at this rate we are aiming for Q4 of this year. We'll just have to see how things evolve and progress throughout this year. We'll certainly try to do our best!
