Hello everyone!
I want to take a moment to share some of the basics about our game.
Saylua is a virtual pet game in development, with a focus on collecting and caring for magical creatures. You’ll be able to befriend creatures, although some might be tough to find. With the help of your new companions, you’ll go on adventures and overcome decision-based challenges.
The world of Saylua is tidally locked, which means one side of the planet is always lit and the other is always dark. These extremes have led the inhabitants to develop adaptations, magical and otherwise.
As a resident of Saylua, you will be able to choose a side. You’ll be free to travel and interact with people and creatures all over the world, but you’ll need a place to call home.
In terms of tone, we want our content to be suitable for a 16+ audience. We plan for Saylua to have an idyllic tone while still addressing serious themes. To join, you will need to be at least 13 years old.
We’ve introduced a few of the species that inhabit our world, but many more are yet to come! Our lead artist @chutkat has helped us so much, beautifully conceptualizing and rendering our species. In future posts we’ll unveil more creatures and the stories behind them.
As for us, I co-own the site with Tiff. We’re both programmers, but we collaborate on game design, lore, graphic design, and whatever else needs to be done. It’s been an amazing experience diving in and developing this project, and I can’t wait to share what comes next!
