Hello everyone!

Numina will be part of Steam Next Fest! A week-long festival from June 13th to the 20th with the already released Demo!

This is just roughly two weeks before Numina Part 1 finally releases!! Part 1 will be around 24hrs of gameplay (about 2/3 of the full game). Part 2 will conclude the story and release as paid DLC in Q4 2022. Are you excited?!?!? I think I'll sh** my pants. Hopefully it'll improve visibility for Numina and expose it to new people interested to play it :) 

Also Happy Pride month! 🌈 Today I wanted to talk a bit about LGBT issues and how I feel they've impacted the game. Since the 2017 demo I knew that the chronicles of the central religious figure in the world of Alterna - Proserpina - would contain the story of her tragic love to her friend Melanie. 

It was almost like a thought experiment for me to envision a world in which god would be a lesbian woman. How society would view queer people and how they would be integrated into the world. My conclusion was that it would be a world without much prejudice towards them. A world where a gay romance option wouldn't thematize the issue of being gay in this world but instead focus on the romance. 

To some this might seem like an excuse to steer around talking about issues our own society faces. But to me personally - it was also relieving. Not really distinguishing between how I write the romance options based on the sexual identities involved but rather depicting characters who feel (at least somewhat) comfortable being their true selves.

Happy Pride everyone!
