Game Developer Lazuli
Lazuli is a new Game Developer who has recently launched a successful Steam Greenlight campaign (with the help of a Steam curator, Panda Waifu). She is also in charge of the game’s Kickstarter campaign (130% funded, 11 days to go). Here is some more information about her:
My name is Justyna, I’m 30 and I’m from Poland. I’ve been into anime since I watched my first series more than 15 years ago. I love drawing manga and making stories. I used to work as an English teacher and then a copywriter, but I wanted to support myself doing something I really love. So, one day I quit my job and started making a yaoi visual novel. I’ve never been happier than now!

To put it simply, my game is about a gay guy looking for love and acceptance. You play as Haru as he suddenly leaves home and moves to a big city. Haru can be awkward in social interactions and doesn’t make friends easily. But he tries to stay strong and he always has a snarky remark to throw your way if you mess with him. During his stay in the city he encounters other individuals and, as he gets closer to them, he discovers their past hurts and wounds. It’s up to the player to make them better or worse.

I want to tell a good story with believable characters. For me, the biggest accomplishment would be to make players fall in love with my characters. Feel what they feel; laugh and cry with them. I want everyone who plays Sentimental Trickster to finish with a feeling of fulfillment. I wish to do what Undertale did, but in the BL genre.

I work alone.
Currently I'm looking for a 2D artist to help me with the rest of the game.

: In December 2015.

Postat inițial de Lazuli:

Yes, I have an idea for the next BL visual novel. The genre will be fantasy unless the $22,000 Stretch Goal is met. Then fans decide on the genre.

Postat inițial de Lazuli:

First of all, a goal in mind and perseverance. You’ll have moments of doubt and pure exhaustion. You need you be able to go through them and still want to make the game. For me, it works well to imagine myself in a few months’ time when the game has been made and published. I imagine how happy people who support me now on Kickstarter will be. Also, I believe it’s important to have people in your life who understand (if not share) your passion. People you can occasionally complain to and share your ideas with. People who tell you they are proud of you.

My main character, Haru, may be inspired a little bit by Aoba from dmmd. His relationship with his mother is a little bit similar to my relationship with mine.

Postat inițial de Lazuli:

Next year. The worst-case scenario is March 2017.

Postat inițial de Lazuli:

No, not at the moment.
There is, however, a stretch goal with a fan disk. There the characters will be a little bit older.

Postat inițial de Lazuli:

I’m still discussing this matter with my distributor. It will probably be $15-20.
