Summer Daze: Ifeyo’s Adventure visual novel cast

Lori and I would like to wish you God Jul, Hopeful Solstice, Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas, and a Joyous New Year! In short, Happy Holidays from Hero-U!

We have several cool releases coming up in 2023, starting with Summer Daze: Tilly’s Tale on Jan. 31. We think of the Summer Daze series as adventure games in visual novel form, and we hope our players will love the new books/games. If you haven’t yet supported and preordered Summer Daze, make sure you wishlist it on Steam at https://store.steampowered.com/app/1139490/Summer_Daze_Tillys_Tale/.

The attached poster/wallpaper is a look ahead to Summer Daze: Ifeyo’s Adventure. From left to right, the characters are Chang Jiao Hu, Lea, Ifeyo Kinah, Charlotte Ruse, Meria Thálassa, Percival Parsival Peterson, and Sergei Sokolav. As in Rogue to Redemption and Tilly’s Tale, each character has their own backstory and motivations. We plan to release Ifeyo’s Adventure in 2024.

We’re also working with Neoclassical Games on a new release of Corey’s tabletop RPG module, Tower of Indomitable Circumstance. Lori and Corey met at Westercon in San Francisco, where Corey showed off the scenario. Corey designed it as an introductory scenario for beginning D&D players and characters.

As with the 1980 Judges Guild version, Neoclassical will release Tower as a “generic RPG” suitable for use with multiple game systems. Pathfinder, D&D 5th Edition, and other role-playing gamers should find the new module readily adaptable to their systems.

We’re continuing to work with Silesia Games on Nintendo Switch releases. Expect Summer Daze: Tilly’s Tale for the Switch in March or April. We’re also talking with them about porting Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption to Sony PS4 and PS5 consoles!

Our next livestream will be Saturday, Dec. 31, 2022 starting at 6 pm PST. We plan to stream until after midnight to welcome in the new year. We stream on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/transolargames.
