In that context human means "Human Empire"

Romance is another separate step. This way you can unlock that character specific bonus even if you're not interested in a romantic relationship

One question, can you presue a romance with one character and a friendship with another in a same time?

Yes they're separated. In practice you can befriend everyone if you want (I am thinking an achievement for that already lol) but romance just one person as usual

Temporary mockup for the "main hub screen":

after the game intro, you'll be able to travel to several places to talk with characters, start some recruit missions, etc
I almost forgot about this game haha, writer should be start working on the final stages of the main story before end of year.

Oh I like it. The magical look fits perfectly with the setting.

I've started to put the texts into renpy format (writer sent me formatted but not 100% checked). The story is not finished, but since this is a step I had to do anyway, I thought to do it now while I wait for other things. It's already quite long, 100k words and probably about 60-70% finished

Anyways, I forgot just how good this game writing was. I like this sentence, very true:
"As a professional storyteller, there is a constant contradiction that I have constantly observed. People love a hero who does the impossible, someone who inspires them to be better than they really are. But people also love someone who is relatable, someone who they can look at and see some of themselves in. It is a paradox: they want someone who is like them, but simultaneously better than them."

That's a quote from the game? Or from the writer?

I ask since you said directly before that about the writing in the game being excellent.

It's from the game, it's a sort of bard talking

Will the bard be a playable character?

It's the main character. But he/she is not a "bard". A bit hard to explain now, you'll need to see for yourself
