A Role to Play Build 0.04 - Text-message Roleplay and Murder

A Role to Play
A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Howdy, folks! McSkinny here. It's been a minute, but here's a new build for A Role to Play. This build contains quite a bit more story-content than the average Echo-sized update. Additionally, we also got quite a few new pieces of art and music that hopefully make things a bit more polished. It's kind of amazing how much the bar has raised in recent years concerning how professional indie-VN's look.

This time, the gang gets into the full swing of their tabletop gaming, and the pressure is on to really get into character here. Getting used to roleplaying is always a little awkward at first. Some people treat it like writing personal fiction, while others see it more as taking on a different personality and becoming one with the character. For this update, I got in touch with my old D&D dungeon master and Corruption of Champions contributing writer, Donto, and he helped co-write those sections of the script. Sabre of Glory Hounds fame pitched-in quite a bit with editing, and Dendroid from the Echo discord was insanely helpful with some of the Ren'py scripting on the back-end.  So, special thanks to all of them!

Also, there's a bara lizard in this one. Check it out!
