StarbeastInferno

Starbeast Inferno Productions came together as a group during the COVID-19 pandemic, when its founders had a lot of time on their hands, like many others. The group took to online tabletop roleplaying games as a way to stay in touch, and the studio's name is in reference to that RPG party. What began as simply a running joke in the campaign, the "Elven Revenue Service" gradually grew into a more solid idea, offering a chance to look at a very different side of a fantasy world than what most people usually think of. The project began in September 2020, carefully developing characters and story for a full-fledged Visual Novel.

A simple dating simulator, however, wasn't the group's aim. A story should have something to say, and the fantasy setting provided an interesting way to view many social issues of the world today. Inclusivity was always a priority, so the game was designed from the start with a gender-neutral protagonist, love interests that cover the spectrum--male, female and gender-fluid characters. Art can create change, and bringing under-represented groups into fiction is one of the best ways to do that. By placing the focus on story and creating well-developed, diverse casts of characters, the games the group makes can prove interesting and memorable experiences that represent the real world in all the ways that matter.
