Karuna and Aurelie were friends. Then Aurelie went off and found the infernal armor of Ellicide and became the Evil Overlord Darkloft. Karuna is the only one who can stop her. But Karuna loves Aurelie, even now.
Luxaren Allure is a medium-sized RPG (12-20 hours) that follows Karuna and her allies as they explore the isles of Luxaren and confront a former friend who now wants nothing but destruction. This is a wlw (women who love women, lesbian romance, yuri, etc) game with an all female playable cast.
Also included are:
Characters:
Karuna has been training with the School of the Unwavering Blade for years, and is considered the best choice for defeating the evil of Darkloft. She's serious, strong-headed, and confident, but her reasons for choosing to be a hero might not exactly be selfless...
Chisa is Karuna's self-proclaimed squire. She's timid but very strong, if a little naive. Her loyalty to Karuna is unquestionable.
A mage from the Naga clan, and one of the few of her kind that does not view humans with suspicion. Carefree and laid-back, she quickly finds herself fascinated with Karuna's quest and even more fascinated with Karuna's squire.
The great-granddaughter of the paladin hero Estes, Lynette is a well-balanced warrior from Rezael who has trained for years to master both the physical and magical arts to make up for the fact that she didn't inherit her family's holy magic powers.
Now known as Overlord Darkloft, the evil one who has placed the isles of Luxaren in dire peril. Karuna has so many questions for her. What will happen when they finally meet again?

Luxaren Allure is Now on Steam!!!
unity
Click here to go to the Steam page! :DDDDDDD
A huge huge thanks to everyone who retweeted, wishlisted and promoted the game! And just a big thanks to everyone who wanted the game on Steam, you're the real heroes XD Given this game's age I was little hesitant to put it up but enough people contacted me about it after W&U's release that I figured why not ^_^
Now, back to Izrand development XD

I PLAYED A BIT OF THIS and it was really cute! I had a good time!
Thanks so much for playing ^_^ I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for your feedback!

...like I'm gonna be straight up with you I'm mostly here because I saw "lesbians" and my lesbian senses went "LESBIANS??? LESBIANS IN GAMES???? LESBIAN GAME????" and thus I hit download at a ferociously speedy speed.
Haha :3 My main inspiration for this game (and another one in the works) is the lack of lesbian characters in media (and RPGs in particular). That and girl/girl romance is just about the best thing ever, in my opinion XD

But, like, hey, after that? I legitimately enjoyed myself. I really like the quirky, humorous tone the game takes and the cartoony art style! The battles were fun! I liked exploring the dungeons because they were filled with treasure! The only thing I really had to complain about was the 10 minute cutscene that opened everything up -- it was a little strange, and showing what happened 2 years ago was a little weird to me! It didn't exactly feel natural, y'know?
...yeesh that is super unclear. Lemme elaborate: I feel like things woulda been better if we'd revealed the whole "Aurelie is Karuna's BFF AND ALSO THE BAD GUY AAAAH~~" in a different way! I would have started with Karuna's mission to the Naga Territory instead, and given her some different reason to go rather than "YOU ARE THE HERO DO THE THING~"! I feel like having her bump into Aurelie there and then having Karuna become the hero woulda made things more mysterious, y'know?
I agree, I could have handled the story a lot better in this regard. To be honest, I still feel I have a whole lot to learn about how to tell a good story, and this game started out with the idea of "Let's make a real simple game with the standard Dragon Quest-esce plot of hero and villain but where the hero loves the villain."
I completely cop to the "you are the hero, collect the doodads and stop the villain" plot being both overused and an easy crutch to build an RPG around. I also want to learn how to tell more elaborate stories that suck the player in, without annoying them with too-long intros ^^;; Hopefully what I learn from making this game will help me do that (and I've certainly learned a lot from all the great feedback I've gotten).

Anyways, I'm defs gonna play more of this, and I look forward to the final release! Really, if only because party made up entirely of ladies and lesbians. THAT IS MY JAM, MAN.
Thank you so much! I'll do my best not to disappoint! ^_^
author=ahmed_great2005
It has yuri?
Yep! To clarify, there's no explicit content, but it's full of ladies who love ladies, so if that's what you like, please enjoy :DDD

My critique defs comes with that grain-of-salt, "I don't expect you to go back and change everything about this game"...thing. At the end of the day, I would rather see this finished than have you obsessively go over the first few hours with many different coats of paint, y'know? I mean, you can always carry lessons you learned making THIS game forward to future things!
And, y'know, simple plots for games aren't inherently bad, either. I am personally a bigger fan of a simple, straight forward "this is what the character wants and this is what is in their way" plot (e-especially if it leaves room for a lot of character fluff), as opposed to "LOOK AT ALL THESE COMPLEX FANTASY POLITICS~~". Then again, I am a simple kind of gal, ah-hahaha.

Ah, I see ^_^ Thanks, I'll do just that (take the lessons I learn here and make the next game better) :D

I have to say that exploration as been a pleasant and rewarding experience so far: chests everywhere! I found myself spending the first 30 min exploring and talking to every npc, rather than following the main quest.
The only thing that i would like to point out is the running speed: It never felt slow, but i'd rather die that use walking considering the size of the maps!

Ooh I like those character portraits and the new frontpage for this game. I'm excited to see how this continues, unity :)

Yeah, that's why I have Auto-Run set as the default ^^;; Hopefully my maps and areas aren't too huge.

Thanks, Cashmere! ^_^ I'm still hard at work and development's been going smoothly!
Thanks very much :D I was so surprised! XD
Congrats on Okiku getting featured as a Hidden Gem as well! It's well-deserved! ^___^

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I was just like "Whaaa?" Then it was like "Cooool!"

I'm pretty sure this situation calls for an internet high-five.

Totally! *High-five! *
So, I've been re-playing through this (and will be for the next while), and I'm slowly being reminded why I'm nominating this as Most Promising Demo of the Year. Also, did I ever mention how bad-ass this soundtrack is?

I haven't finished the demo yet, but it's pretty good so far. Definitely appreciate all those custom graphics.

You're welcome! I also forgot to subscribe the other day, so I did it just then. So yeah. Looking forward to the rest of the whole!

I really wish Ace worked on my PC. >< I'm missing out on so many great games.
;_; If I had infinite time, I'd remake the game on a different engine so you could play it

I'd do the same for Remnants of Isolation.
EDIT:
Ever since that day, I've been trying to figure out the problem. Unfortunately, out of all the 15 people in my area, no one has the troubles you're having, so I can't work out a solution.
;_;
