Reminder that the only time Mastercard has flinched is when outrage was directed at them. Attacking platforms like SubscribeStar for Visa/Mastercard's extralegal censorship is exactly the deflection they want.

With development moving smoother than ever, it’s time for us to finally introduce the main cast of Varminal! Keep in mind the story is still being developed so some information may be subject to change, nevertheless... here is some info about our main heroes, Tara and Vyn!

Character Bio describing some background information about Tara, one of the two main characters of the indie game Varminal.

TARA:

- The one the story starts with!!

- A feisty girl, a tomboy that wants to do things
her own way, forge her own path in life.

- Headstrong to a fault, she follows her
unwavering need to be a hero, exploring the
world with starry eyes and pure optimism!

- She often causes friction by being brash, social
cues tend to fly over her head, as she keeps it
focused on the goal she has set for herself.

- Very sheltered; has mostly spent her childhood
days in her family home reading fairytales, and
tales of heroim up in her room.

- Raised in a cozy house in an otherwise harsh
winter environment, a lifetime of chores to keep
the house as warm as it is has left her with raw
amounts of vigor to be tamed into strength.

- Has read many things about the Starlight Guild
and one day, she decided to leave her home and
apply to show the world and those back home
what she can REALLY be!

Character Bio describing some background information about Vyn, one of the two main characters of the indie game Varminal.

VYN:

- A somewhat mysterious boy, who formed a duo
with Tara in the most unlikely of circumstances.

- Moody, insular and with a biting sarcasm to
every comment he makes, Vyn naturally sets
himself up to be a foil for his partner.

- In the same way her bold personality can
trample through his concerns, his cold, dry
humor can reel her back down to earth. It
often causes some friction between the two,
though he really doesn't mean it to!

- Tall and agile, he doesn't pack the same punch as Tara,
but his decision-making more than makes up for it.
He is able to perform craftier maneuvers with the skillset
he has gained from adapting to his harsh life.

- As for where he comes from... let's just say the place isn't exactly
the friendliest. It exists somewhere through Asteria's desert,
beyond the desolate stretches of old abandoned towns and factories...

- Has a similar strong drive to Tara, even if he doesn’t wear it on his sleeve.
He says he's just partnering up with her for the potential profits, but often
seems a little too eager for that to be the full truth...

With the base overworld mechanics close to being fully implemented, we're ready to finally start revamping the battle system as well! Here's a look at some new animations, new UI, and new.. well, everything! (though the background is currently just a placeholder.) [🔊Sound on!]

Another move has been fully implemented! As we've said earlier, as the replacement for Mario & Luigi's bros. moves, Plink will transform into various tools for our heroes to use on the overworld. Here's the first one you'll receive in this game - the Plinkoline!

So, probably a hot take, but I think the problem with most modern Pokemon game MCs is that they now look dressed more like influencers rather than actual characters first. I know they're supposed to be the player's avatar, but still...some sauce is missing (Legends Arceus MCs were cool though)

Pokemon Legends Z-A shows that GF is definitely still in need to improve their visuals, but it already shows improvements over their last attempts. There was some intriguing stuff in the trailer, so I'm still in the optimistic range.

Gotta say, I had several doubts about the new Spider-Man series, but it's showing a lot of potential and better writing than I expected. I got some nitpicks and I wish they went with 2D with this style, but I am now more optimistic.

I'm a bit underwhelmed by the Fantastic 4 trailer. It technically does things right, but there's also a lot of little gripes that altogether, kinda makes me worried.

GattaiMon @gattaimon.bsky.social · 04/02/2025

The new Mario & Luigi game breaking a million fills me with relief. I think the newest game wasn't perfect, but it definitely had its heart in the right place and I'd love to see what the new team at Acquire can do now that they'd have some hindsight.

GattaiMon @gattaimon.bsky.social · 02/02/2025

I swear, having played 4 Tales games now, it feels like the characters are always their strongest element. Even when the story itself isn't a masterpiece, I always find myself attached to the cast.

This could've been an amazing game if it wasn't handled the way it was. Between the live service model, the self-aware humor of the dialogues and the gameplay issues between beta and final release, it just had so much against it. The soundtrack was so, SO good though.

Updated designs warrant updates to the game's sprites as well! The graphics our latest demo used were over 2 years old, so it was high time for one last overhaul! The new sprites are bigger, more fluid, expressive, colorful, and simply look better! #Varminal

It took a while but I finally made it to the end of Xenoblade 2. It's not perfect, but damn, I grew attached to the characters by the end. Something about this series that keeps nailing its themes, its joys and its tragedies. I cried with both games. Let's see if X3 does the same!

GattaiMon @gattaimon.bsky.social · 25/10/2023

I've only played through 2 worlds of SMB Wonder so far, but if this keeps up, we really got something worth of being a true follow-up to Super Mario World. Every aspect of this game is just sheer joy.

GattaiMon @gattaimon.bsky.social · 18/10/2023

Sonic Superstars, so far, is pretty good, even if not on Mania levels. I like to compare it more to a Game Gear Sonic title. Imperfect, but it has some quirky ideas and concepts that keep things interesting.

GattaiMon @gattaimon.bsky.social · 16/10/2023

There was a genuine hype moment near the end of Detective Pikachu 2 and god, I wish the writing was just a little more mature so that everything would land better. Still somewhat better than the movie though. Lots of things made more sense, at the very least.
