"With good intentions" is a nonlinear visual novel. Escape from a cursed monastery, win over its mighty Overlord, save your love and uncover the mysteries of time itself!
Today we decided to introduce you to the main characters of the game. For our VK subscribers their biographies and art department's comments on the visuals won't be news, but here you will find them in one place.
Captain Paul Lange is a young imperial officer, who by chance (is it chance?...) finds himself within the walls of the Schermergard. At the time, the responsible and brave, but in other respects quite ordinary man did not yet know how much his fate is intertwined with the fate of this cursed place.

Comment from our art director:
[i]Paul used to look like a sketch. Now it looks like a normal drawing. Because after the first sketch, a wolf showed up and dragged the character artist into the woods. Looked for the whole village, froze all my toes off.[/i]

Grand Master Rayon von Eigo has been at the head of the knightly Order of the Second Brothers for five years. The forty-year-old son of a poor but noble noble family, Rayon spent his youth in a monastery and his adult life in the courts of the Old Kings. Some scarred and aged knights-veterans still despise the "upstart who never saw real war," but by and large Schemergard recognizes the authority and power of his stern lord.

Our artist's commentary:
[i]In general.
We take material from a fellow narrative artist and create a sketch based on the description, systematically coating with references and details, contours, color, and volume. Once our character is finally fleshed out, we dissect her into parts to put on a multicolored skeleton.
Then I make the skeleton move, blink its eyes, smack it on the cheek, put a hundred rubles in my pocket for candy and send it off to Shemerguard.[/i]

Comment from our art director:
[i]It used to look like a sketch of a man who has known, hunger, cold, pain and suffering, loss of loved ones, the birth of a cat, pension reform, kidney stones, his daughter's alcoholism, and hitting his little finger on a chair leg.
Now that looks like Rayon. Because, after the first sketch, the guy was dragged through all the rehab centers, fattened up and given money for the road. Take care of yourself and your loved ones! Right now, call your kids and tell them how much you love them!
Remember, indifference causes emphysema and impotence.[/i]
