Craving something a bit more romantic? How about a love so intense it created it's own binary star system?

For this special. blog, we interviewed lead writer and concept creator Ashe as well as lead character artist crying who are both working on Hearts in Orbit: When Stars Align for more details.

Q: Hey Ashe, thanks for joining us on the blog today. Can you tell us a little bit about you???

A: Hey! I hope you're doing well! I'm Ashe Lucia (she/they), I'm a writer who focuses primarly on fantasy-romance stories. I have a love of otome games, enemies-to-lovers, and queer-romance. I'm also learning art so I can make even better visual novels in the future.

Q: What is Hearts in Orbit??

A: Hearts in Orbit is a fantasy-romance visual novel that follows two stars who have reincarnated as humans in hopes they can finally embrace. It's story of friendship, self-discovery, overcoming fears, and taking risks.

Q: How did you originally come up with the story??

A: Hahaha, so Hearts In Orbit was originally a dream I had. The dream was really short, I heard this voice telling me the story of these two starts that feel in love. They loved eachother so much they pulled themselves into a shared orbit, creating a binary star system, but because of their nature they could never touch. Their own gravity would simultaneously pull them towards eachother and then push them away from eachother.

That was the entire dream. I was so sad by the time I woke up I needed to give it a happy ending!! And that's what Hears in Orbit is! The happy ending!!

Q: Tell us more about the romance between Aurelia and Caelum?? 

A: Aurelia and Caelum have an interesting relationship. Since being reincarnated as humans, they don't have any memories of their past life. They don't remember being stars, the don't remember being in love, they don't even remember each other. 

Throughout Hearts in Orbit we see them slowly getting glimpses of their memories but we also see their naturally inclination to push the other person a way. Just like when they were stars, Aurelia and Caelum pull each other into their orbits only to run away shortly after out of fear.

Q: When is the game releasing??

A: A brand new demo is coming for June's NextFest event on steam! The full game will be released later this year (2024).

Q: How can players get connected while they wait for the game?? 

A: By visiting our itch.io page (https://ashelucia.itch.io/heartsinorbit) and following me. We will be sharing dev logs and updates in the future. xD
