By appearance alone, Tuiren is easily the most intimidating figure in the village. But anyone who takes the time to know him will quickly realize he’s one of the kindest souls around- if a little gruff.

Delphinium's Kickstarter will go live on October 27th, 9:00AM ACDT 🩵💫

every character has ~50 gift reaction dialogues, which.. took forever, but it's always super satisfying when you get a unique response 🙂‍↕️ #gamedev #indiedev

If there’s chaos in the village, Aster is probably the one to blame. He’s quick to pick a fight with anyone who crosses his path- but at least things are never boring with him around!

A demure young woman who refuses to leave the shelter of what was once the village church, Briar is a bit of a mystery- one that she believes isn’t worth solving.

There’s over 120 dishes that Haiyan can learn to cook- either by learning the recipes, or through repeated trial and error. If that’s too much effort, you can always just… eat mushrooms off the ground instead? #gamedev #indiedev

thank you so much @sifterhq.bsky.social for grabbing some photos from the talks tonight at freeplay parallels!!! so many amazing talks from so many amazing people- this has been such a highlight of my migw so far 🥹🫶 what an incredible night!!!

Saw Delphinium at GCAP at it looked stunning, cool farming sim but like mostly about social connections. @cinnadev.bsky.social coming to Kickstarter too very very soon

A devout follower of the Ascended, Knox is a model believer in a village that uses its church as a storage shed. Even if no one around him shares in his ideals, Knox’s faith- and optimism- is unwavering.

When it comes to the title of ‘main character’, Haiyan would insist she’s the last person fit for that role. A jack-of-all-trades with no standout abilities, ‘unremarkable’ really would be the best word to describe her.
