Who's the Wulf?

Hi, all. I am Companion Wulf.

Many of you will no doubt recognise me notably from my Smile Game Builder tutorials on YouTube.

I'd like to continue with the tutorials, but also to produce more high-quality, more exclusive content. Time is a factor, of course, as I work nights, and I often try to burn the midnight oil to get everything done on my days off. Unfortunately, "sleep debt" will knock on my door eventually, so I have to pay it off (as with normal taxes). Haha!

What Do I Hope to Achieve?

My main goal is to be able to quit my job (or at least reduce my hours) so that I can dedicate more time towards game development in general. This means being able to focus on things like:

More tutorials and other video content.
More hours and resources for the development of my game Starborn: The Fallen (for Smile Game Builder), as well as other future games in several game engines and on several platforms.
Better equipment for better quality, including live-streams, game playthroughs and videos.
More frequently updated blogs so that the information can be regular and up-to-date.
And exclusive giveaways and competitions.

I've always wanted to become a game developer. Early in life, I went in the other direction instead. So thirty-some years later, I've returned to it and I'm just as passionate now as I was back then. To do this full-time is a dream come true!

Exclusive Content

All patrons (or subscribers) will receive access to some exclusive content, including free assets, discounts on my asset packs and access to patron-only "advanced" tutorials.

Patrons will also receive tier titles in the Smile Game Builder Discord server, as well as access to a private SubscribeStar chat channel.

Right now, my main target is Smile Game Builder, so the exclusive content will only be for this engine. In time, I do plan on expanding this to other areas, such as my novels (when they're published), so patrons will also gain access to exclusive previews.

Thank You!

In closing, I'd like to thank everyone who supports me - past, present and future - and want to let each of you know that it's greatly appreciated! I can't stress that enough. Without your support, I wouldn't be where I am today!

And with your support, it encourages me to continue doing what I love doing! Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

"Secret" Project

In addition to working on Starborn: The Fallen for SMILE GAME BUILDER, I also decided to start working on another project. I'm going to divide game development between the two.

Medieval Horror Whodunnit

This new "secret" game is going to be a medieval horror whodunnit using the GameGuru engine.

The plot is based very loosely on an essay I had intended to write for school (that's going back quite some time now!). I wasn't a great writer then, and was finding my own style, so I never submitted it. Years later, older and more experienced, I still remember its concept and storyline, which is slowly being fleshed out.

Exclusive to Patrons/Subscribers

News, screenshots, progress and updates on this project will become available to $5+ per month patrons.

I'd like to keep this a secret until it's ready for public release. Patrons, however, will also gain access to beta and early release copies, and other perks.

How You Can Help

Because I invest my own money into these projects, and am a solo developer, you can help with costs by subscribing or donating.

All the moneys will go towards developmental costs, including purchasing and producing assets (graphics and music). And with enough money, I can hire other artists to help out.

Thank you all for the support and encouragement many of you have given me already.

*Starborn: The Fallen* for Smile Game Builder

I am currently working on *Starborn: The Fallen*, a game for Smile Game Builder.

Introduction

Aanir, King of Heaven and Sovran of the Azhurae, forbade all Azhurae from intervening in Mankind's development, fearing that it would upset the natural order and balance of the Aether.

Some Azhurae disagreed and thought that Mankind should be taught the knowledge of fire, making tools and the properties of plants, and they conveyed their knowledge to Mankind.

When Aanir discovered their disobedience, he was furious.

A battle in Heaven ensued, resulting in all Azhurae in support of sharing their knowledge with Mankind being exiled to Aerth.

These became known as The Fallen.

What Is The Game About?

The game revolves around a mysterious young boy washed up on the shores of a beach. He is rescued by Taryn, a fourteen-year-old girl, and Garath, her grandfather, but remembers neither his name nor his origins.

So, having no memory of a home to return to, he is invited to stay with them for awhile and forge a new life in the peaceful farming village of Hamlet. He settles into the farmer's role happily.

Until war erupts and they are forced to abandon their homes and flee the approaching army.

After a series of harrowing events, the boy sets out on a mission to find the only weapon that can end the war once and for all. Here, he also discovers his true origins and must battle the forces conspiring against him.

Will the decisions he makes grant Aanir's favor so that he can ascend to Heaven again? Or will he submit to those dark forces and become a True Fallen?

Features

Custom models and assets.
A Book of Stats, Quest Log and Monster Log.
Random encounters, some friendly, some hostile.
Puzzles! These shouldn't be too difficult if a logical approach is applied.
A crafting system to create potions, upgrade weapons and armor, and build things.
A unique "karma" system, where decisions *matter*.
Optional exclusive "adult" content for $15+ monthly patrons.
Multiple endings depending on your Karma score.

Your Support

Your support with this project, whether a patron or a donator, is greatly appreciated and will help in the development of *Starborn: The Fallen*.

All patrons will benefit from some great unique content, including exclusive tutorials on how some of the in-game features are implemented, as well as some unique assets and models from the game.

Every little helps and will go a long way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
