19 new sprites

6 portraits

4 new backgrounds

5 Full CGs

Bug fixing- Air mage gifting, Beisel or Beileph possibly showing up before recruited, getting stuck if clicking on menu when talking to Katnir in mission 06, random Lor dialogue crashing the game during mission 9 and a certain option when trying to give him a pendant (geez Lor...)

Added Battle Difficulty at the start- Player can add hero level X1, 2, 3 to their element and faction bonus totals

Where do we go from here- I will be working on my new project EXG (Esper x Guide) which is a futuristic fantasy RPG/VN Amare game with relationship building, deck building, card battling combat system. The MC is the main active fighter (esper) who will build bonds with three love interests (guides) to support them as they climb and defeat the alien tower structure that is threatening their world. The gameplay is planned to be split between training/socializing at headquarters and missions in the tower. Training time will be daily tasks and character/relationship growth and missions will consist of exploring, treasure hunting and battling in the dungeon. I’m looking for player testers so please email me at wulfmune@gmail.com if you are interested! TY so VM~ and hope to see you all in EXG!!

I absolutely loved this game! Ruwin will always be in my heart! I’m so happy we got so much of him in the solo end. I really felt immersed into the universe and I grew really attached to the characters. I’m so sad it’s over but I’m also so happy to make it to the end. 

I really loved following along with the development on youtube.  The dice mechanics were so much fun and collecting all the parts needed to create the pendent was fun too. It took me hours to get all the pendants but I got really good at figuring out the elements and faction mechanics lol. I spent so much time playing the games that it really feels apart of me now.

 Thank you so much for making them! Also I was really amazed to see my name in the credits, I’m glad my fan girlish comments made even the smallest impression! I’m gonna miss this game so much, thank you once again ! <3

Hi Yeonjunney! Thank you for taking the time to share a bit of your thoughts with me. I'm glad that you were satisfied with Ruwin's solo ending, as I did try to take my time with all of them to care for it properly.  Maybe the crafting system is a bit controversial but I'm glad you had fun with the collecting aspect. The menus were definitely clunky, so I hope to improve my menu systems in my next game. Ruwin's VA is coming back to voice Laurent in ExG so I hope to see you there! Best wishes and thanks again for taking part in this adventure.

Hello! I finished playing just now. I have to say I'm really touched, I got attached to all the characters especially Lor and Ruwin. Thank you so much for the game I enjoyed it a lot, and the easy mode really helped out strategy noobs like me.

I also really like how some conversations are tailored to your characters actions too. Such as depending on who you're dating and who your best friends are. It's very extensive and a fun rpg!

I genuinely cried when I saw the goodbye scene between the Old Ones and Ashur.

I suppose my only complaint is that the ending where you stayed while siding with the Royals felt... a little lackluster? Or maybe that's just how it's supposed to be written. Additionally, I really wanted to try and save Ashur in that ending.


Thanks again for the game, might replay it for the Old ones route.

Edit-

Omg I just finished the staying while siding Old ones ending and I love it so much! Because it's not just a simple 'they lived happily ever after route' but the way the old ones and your love interest remind you of what the reality would be like in choosing to stay in their world would mean in the long run and existentially. It really adds a lot of depth to it!! I'm really happy and I enjoyed the game a lot.

I really appreciate the way the characters near the end were all telling us to move on and look toward the future no matter what in the end. It felt like a message to people like me who tend to dwell in fantasies for too long. I hope you have a wonderful day, and life!! That your food is always good and fulfilling, and that you experience your favorite weather more often. Take care!

Hi TiredFio,

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the main game and getting to know the characters from both sides of the war. Even though there is combat and exploration, my focus on the game is really about building relationships with the characters so I feel very glad reading your comment that my efforts seemed to have reached you.

And it seems Ashur really did a good job advocating for the Old Ones in the end. TBH I wasn't sure how many people would try that route as opposed to siding with the gods. Also wasn't sure how many people would explore the friendship routes, so I'm glad you enjoyed exploring these too. Thank you so much for taking the time to try my game, share your feedback and give me  warm wishes! I wish the best for you as well! <3

Congratulations on reaching the end!!

I’m so happy to have been a part of your long, long dev journey and to have been able to get a glimpse of your BTS and little tweaks across the years :>

Thank you so very much for sharing ADW, its cast and its universe with us. The ADW-verse found such a big place in my heart, I’m a little sad to say farewell to it.

Thank you for always keeping us involved in your projects and I can’t wait to follow EXG ! <3

I failed to stay on my main run ;v; I knew I should have sided with the old ones…

Aah, maybe you can visit an earlier save and vote in the Brookhaven and Cape Town elections? I hope can see both sides of the war and find one of the endings satisfying. T_T good luck!

god's side one had very unique yet amazing end! the fact that everyone was in the end was sooo nice! seeing each character in new light was so fun and surprising too in whole ending! everyone was very stylish -w- 


and not gonna lie... old one's ending caught me off guard XD ı wasnt expecting that interesting role play suddenly appear hahaha everyone was dressed very nice too!! though... ı coudlnt help but give small shriek in suprise once ı saw Ashur... poor boy hahaha XD but he looked so cute and Eve really give off  boss vibes. and Jonas being a math teacher?? fits sooo well !! as ıf he is born to be a teacher. (the other ending was on more somber note but ı guess ı can understand why Eve and Jonas picked such option... so ım not sad about that ending too :3 ıt was interesting to see how they get in their way haha)
