Musketeer: After Winter [DEMO / Chapter 1]
A downloadable game for Windows
Twenty years after the musketeers defeated Cardinal Richelieu and Milady de Winter, the resolve and loyalty of our four swashbuckling comrades to each other is no longer what it once was.
Athos lives a quiet life in hiding. Porthos has become a rich gold digger. Aramis has returned to being a man of the cloth. And D'Artagnan, finally an esteemed member of the King's Musketeers, has become disillusioned by the everyday drudgery.
Civil war threatens both France and England. In England, Cromwell schemes to take power from King Charles I and the Musketeers soon find themselves embroiled in political intrigue.
But the infamous quartet's greatest foe may just come in the form of a ghost from their shared pasts.
Full Game: WIP. Will eventually be 18+.

Thank you so much, water-kelpie!
I assure you, "Musketeer: After Winter" has not been dropped! I am still working on it. It was put on temporary hiatus so I could participate in YaoiJam2021, but I will be continuing the project.
Mordaunt's story must be told! :D
Normally I don´t like fanfics or dojinshis (Especially if they are the romantic type in which two characters are a hot couple when they never kiss in the original work, like Naruto and Sasuke XD (And ironically I'm a huge yaoi fan LMAO)) but I have read the novels of The Three Musketeers, and I have seen several of theirs films (I have even seen the Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds), so I have decided not to prejudge the work and give it a look, and OMG, it is the best decision I could make.
I know this technically is the prologue, but the story has already caught me, having an atmosphere like the novels and a medieval French air, not to say that I immediately loved Mordaunt (I have a soft spot for hot-headed edgy youth with twisted personality ; ) ) , and I still don't know if there will be (gay) romance with him or with whom (Although from the cover, I would say it would be Mordaunt with d'Artagnan, and hopefully that's because it would make things fucking more interesting (º///º)).
The fact is that you have won me as a fan, and I will follow you, I hope we have fun together (^///^).
P.D .: Will it be a linear novel or with decisions and different endings? Is Mordaunt the protagonist or will be D'Artagnan? Are there chances that this work has a happy ending or I expect the worst?
Hi Aural,
Thank you! Your kind words mean a lot to me!
I am glad you are enjoying the story so far, especially since adaptations are not usually your thing. It makes me very happy that you are enjoying Mordaunt. I confess, he is quite fun to write and draw!
I cannot gets into too much detail, but I can say that there will be a romance option and D'Artagnan is the romantic interest. The story will be mostly linear, but there will be decisions. Mordaunt is the villainous protagonist and your choices can lead him down at least two different paths (good and bad). There will also be a paid 18+ version of the game.
I am so very happy to have you as a fan!
Sincerely,
artsdahl
Thank you very much for answering!
I am very happy that there will be romance, especially with D'Artagnan (I see him as a charismatic character who brags a lot but has a heart of gold, I don't know how you will write your version of D'Artagnan, but whether you decide to use the original personality or make your own version, sure you will make him be an "interesting phenomenon" that surprises the world), and I am even happier that I can choose between a "good way" and "bad way", I hope to get a good ending (Although if there are only bad endings, I'll accept it while crying, I admit that I like happy endings more than sad ones).
And I will buy the +18 version, when I decide to follow something, I follow it with all my soul ; ).
Seriously, you have made me very happy by answering me (^///^).
Thank you.
