Laura's RPG game 'Melolune' :)

Hey everyone!

Just letting people here know that Laura is working on an RPG game called Melolune.

Here's an excerpt from the story of Melolune :)

------------------------------------------------------

'You are Achaius, an enthusiastic and kind human boy. After a catastrophic event takes your parents’ lives, you become separated from your twin due to various circumstances. “The Blue Star” focuses on the life of Achaius several years after his separation from Caleigh.
Time has brought you to a village filled with small cat-like creatures with wings and long tails known as Leebles. Your two best friends are a Leeble named Aero, and the only other human in the village, Dominic.
Recently, soldiers from the “Ciro Order,” a large faction from the world’s central continent of Ciro have set up camp near the forest. Their presence has been increasingly stressful for the village due to safety concerns and strained resources.
Together, Achaius, Aero, and Dominic begin their journey to the continent of Ciro with the purpose of saving the village.'

------------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to the game when it comes out! :) For now, you can read more on the story, look at screenshots from the game, listen to some of the music, and even download and play the Melolune demo!

The demo itself goes for about an hour, but could go for longer if you're determined to explore all that it has to offer :)

Also, speaking of videos, Laura recently went to TIGJam (an event where indie game developers meet up, chat, and work on the games they're making), and made a rap music video on the card game Magic: The Gathering with some other awesome guys (aka The Funktrollers). It's a great and funny video that I would definitely recommend watching, even if you haven't played Magic before :D

Here's the music video (aptly named if you have played the card game), Tapped Out... enjoy! ^_^
