State of Teraurge

Hi there!

If you somehow found this blog you probably searched "Meandraco" or "Teraurge" on google. If you did search one of those, you are probably trying desperately to find xenophilia content, if that's the case, I'm happy to say you are in the right place.

I'm Meandraco, welcome to blog about Teraurge and it is an rpg game about adventure and xenophilia.

I set up this blog to make formal and informal posts about the game and it's status. I'm not a sociable person and English is not my native language so I've been very apprehensive making text stuff on the internet in the fear people would point at it and laugh.

I thought about setting my website for the game but having a website seems irrelevant, a lot of work and expensive compared to just using file sharing sites and a blog. Internet stuff that just floats around seems to be the most successful.

How this works
I post a blog post and you leave comments underneath. If you ask a question in the comments I will try collect it and answer it in the next blog post. If it's something very small and specific I will try answer to it in the comments.

State of the game

Writing: At the moment I'm writing the major quest and character stuff for the demo* release. This is the biggest hurdle for the demo at the moment. I'm pretty slow writer and I don't have experience or confidence to call myself a good writer.

Art: I think I've gotten all the environment and character art done, but some action sketch** panels are still unfinished. I've been doodling character and environment concept sketches on my free time and the pile has really piled on. Just (unused) character concept pieces number now in the 270 - 320 these will be made publicly accessible when the demo releases.

I will try to include some game art in every post so there's something look at. Here's the first one:

Environment art example

Code: I keep finding small stuff I need to change or add to UI but The code is done and I'm doing mostly visual effects or other polish stuff.

* The demo is not actually separate entity from the actual game but literally 0.1 version of the game that is planned to be extended upwards with additions. All the stuff in the demo is self contained so there isn't any annoying crap like unfinished quests or features.

** Action sketches are pictures that depict an action or scene that cannot be shown in the normal view, like a small detail in the environment or a sex scene. If you've played Pillars of Eternity you probably have a good idea what I'm talking about.

QA Section

Q: When is Teraurge coming out?
A: TBA

Q: Why the name Teraurge?
A: Teratophilia (attraction to monsters) + urge (a strong desire or impulse). Xenourge would have been more accurate but it sounded too scifi.
