Tales of Lorithel: Bonds of Royalty
Added 2022-10-31 20:53:30 +0000 UTCHey folks! Here it is!
'Tales of Lorithel: Bonds of Royalty'
Previously just dubbed 'Dragon', this was a a story I wrote several years ago as writing practice. It follows Prince Aetrian and his servant, Jarrod.
This takes place in the country of Lorithel, and it was the first story I wrote in regards to this world. This is the same place that Endless Bounty and Engaging Destiny take place in, and you'll even see some characters cross over between these projects!
Here's a map of Lorithel that I drew a while back. In the southwestern part, you'll see Eldrark, and that's where this story takes place. If you look around, you'll find where Endless Bounty and Engaging Destiny take place too!
This is a linear visual novel around 24,000 words, so it should only take a little more than an hour or so to read, but there are... 14+ special scenes to view, 13+ gorgeous backgrounds and a handful of characters! There are no choices to make beyond a single one at the very start of the game, and all of the CGs will be unlocked in the gallery by the time you're done.
All of the art is done by Gavel! He did a magnificent job with everything that went into this.
The music is temporary, but that title melody was done by Civ Valian!
All in all, this story holds a special place in my heart because it started a whole world I never expected to expand upon! I've grown really fond of all of it, and I hope to keep growing it. I really hope you all enjoy the world I'm creating as well, as I wouldn't be able to do this without all of your support!
So, here it is!

Thank you! I'm slowly building up the world more and more over time, and I have ideas on tying some stories together~

2022-11-08 02:55:15 +0000 UTCThis was excellent! I'd love to see this world fleshed out, maybe even make a large interconnected VN that takes place in the world but follows different characters for each chapter (similar to how the Ice and Fire books do it with each chapter coming from another character's point of view).

2022-11-07 14:51:09 +0000 UTCThank you so very much! I can't wait to show off the updated title screen music now, haha. I'm really happy to see you enjoy it all so much too. I appreciate the kind words!

2022-11-03 23:38:45 +0000 UTCFollowing up ... you did your short story justice! Absolutely beautiful character art and backgrounds, and the title theme is lovely. I listened to it for several minutes, just chilling! I love the map and the world building. I've been working on something similar for several years so I know how much thought it takes to prepare a backdrop before you even begin writing the plot. Kudos! Looking forward to seeing more of your world!

2022-11-03 01:25:27 +0000 UTCAahh, thank you! I'm so happy to hear that =3 It's so motivating to hear people enjoying my stuff outside of EA!
DyneWulf
2022-11-03 01:18:07 +0000 UTCAlways glad to hear to hear that people read it before and enjoyed seeing it turned into a visual novel like this =3 Thank you so much!
DyneWulf
2022-11-03 01:17:32 +0000 UTCAww, well thanks so much!
DyneWulf
2022-11-03 01:17:02 +0000 UTCThank you! You'll see more of them at some point, I hope!
DyneWulf
2022-11-03 01:16:54 +0000 UTCJust had enough time to read it and... Freaking loved it Dyne, congrats, it's gorgeous, the music, the art, the writing... It's just perfect and wanting for to read more stories of Aetrian and Jarrod. Now I want to play EB to see the guys again. Also can't wait for ED, or more of EB ❤️❤️❤️

2022-11-02 23:52:47 +0000 UTCWolfbite I don't know what to say. I'm halfway along with the story and the touching music and relationship between Jarrod and Aetrian is heartwarming to say the least. I remember reading the story when it first came out in 2015/16? and to see it in a visual novel representation is by far more impactful to the experience. Great job on everything thus far, haha. Can't wait to see more of Richard again too. Lotsa hugs and kisses for my rhino and green dragon boys^^

2022-11-02 06:46:34 +0000 UTCJust sat down and went through it all in one sitting, ahh it was perfect. I really would love to see more of their journey, really would not say no to this world being the next big project after EA <3

2022-11-01 20:23:06 +0000 UTCI just finished playing through this story, and, honestly, I'm sad there isn't more! This was a beautiful story, and I loved it! I would love to see more of the journey with these two!
Bobby Thornbody
2022-11-01 09:12:56 +0000 UTCWonderful to hear! I hope I get the time to do more with them for sure!
DyneWulf
2022-11-01 06:31:17 +0000 UTCThank you! I'm so happy to hear that~
DyneWulf
2022-11-01 06:31:02 +0000 UTCThanks so very much =3 Jarrod DOES deserve his moment for sure. I think it'll happen... eventually. I hope to do more with them for sure!
DyneWulf
2022-11-01 06:30:52 +0000 UTCAnd I appreciate you so much for doing so <3
DyneWulf
2022-11-01 05:38:29 +0000 UTCThank you so much! I have a handful of folks that want more of them too, so we'll have to see!
DyneWulf
2022-11-01 05:38:20 +0000 UTCAAaahhh, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really happy to hear all of it! The choice was if you were old enough to play ;3
DyneWulf
2022-11-01 05:37:53 +0000 UTCI love it all!! I hope you make more stories with these two!
Bearly
2022-11-01 04:56:55 +0000 UTCJust finished playing it, and it is FANTASTIC!! Loved every second of it! Great Job!
Flamingo J
2022-11-01 01:38:47 +0000 UTCQuite great for a short and sweet story. Perhaps would be nice if Jarrod had his moment to shine. Doesn’t have a lot going for him with his upbringing, but I hope any future installments focuses on his own growth. The two are so cute, who can resist either?
HumanCoffee
2022-11-01 01:33:49 +0000 UTCI did some editing on this. Well worth the read!
badaimrac00n
2022-11-01 01:00:11 +0000 UTCJust finished it. There is so much more story!!! I sincerely hope that at some point you get to chance to continue their story. My heart very quickly became invested in it.

2022-11-01 00:46:17 +0000 UTCReally excite to check this out!
DecaBear
2022-11-01 00:13:37 +0000 UTCFinally I've been looking forward to this. Aetrian is so precious and cute. Excitement and freedom are the best things to live for indeed. Kelorin was a great addition too and I absolutely loved him. This story really touched my heart, to learn where it all began, something I really wanted to see since EB and I'm all misty. The writing was beautiful and the art was amazing. I hope there will be more but I do have to ask what choice I wasn't offered one?

2022-11-01 00:00:24 +0000 UTCHahaha, I know, I know! It's just this came BEFORE all of that!
DyneWulf
2022-10-31 21:54:02 +0000 UTCSo madge that its not following the naming trend of EA, EB, EC and ED. But other than that I am very excited for this and more works from you Dyne.
