    Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mobile_suit_gundam_iron_blooded_orphans___urdr_hunt_poster.jpg

In the year P.D. 323, male youth Wistario Afam hears news of Tekkadan and their battle against Gjallarhorn. Wistario lives in the Radonitsa Colony near Venus, which lost to Mars in the initial contest for colony development, and has now become a penal colony for ID-less criminals due to the four economic blocs disinterest. Wistario hopes to change the status quo of his homeland, and ends up meeting a mysterious girl named Korunaru Kousa, who claims to be the guide to the "Urdr-Hunt".

Taking place in-between both seasons of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt is a mobile game released on Spring 2022 as part of the Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS G app, and is a side-story in the Post Disaster continuity. The game itself is planned to end in early 2024, but an animated series depicting key events from it is planned to be released afterwards.


Tropes associated with Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Urdr-Hunt are:

  • Interquel: The story takes place in-between the first and second seasons of the original IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS Anime.
  • Spiritual Successor: As part of Mobile Suit Gundam IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS G, this game is one to the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE Universe Accel/Cosmic Drive Video Game, due to both being 3D Action Games with Traditional 2D Animated Cutscenes. Although really, it has more to do with the IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS half, due to both being adaptations of their original TV Anime Series (Even though its unintentional on AGE's part, since the game was conceptualized first. Long Story.), while Urdr-Hunt is an original side-story within the Post Disaster continuity.
  • Theme Naming: Subverted. Going by all of the other Gundam Frames in the Post Disaster universe being named after the demons of the Ars Goetia, the main Gundam of this story back in the Calamity War was the "Gundam Marchosias" after the 35th demon, due to its model number being "ASW-G-35" and an image similar to its sigil being seen on the console upon activation. Nowadays, however, after being recommissioned and rebranded, it is instead now known as the "Gundam Hajiroboshi". As of now, the reason behind this rename is unknown.

    Baldr's Squid Isekai 
Baldr's Squid Isekai: A Parody is a lewd Role-Playing Game with optional roguelike mechanics, developed by A Memory of Eternity, set to release in Early Access on February 29, 2024. Its basic premise is intentionally cliche: a male protagonist finds himself Trapped in Another World filled with fantasy, and is forced to compete in the "Squid-related Series of Very Dangerous Combat Encounters Broken by Social Survival Type Scenarios" (aka the Squid Game), partnering up with a cast of lovely ladies such as "Princess Hygienne" "Asuka Twopiece", and "Rouge the Rouge". However, the twist is that our mighty hero and some of his closest allies are not from our own world, but from the setting of the developer's previous work, Memoirs of a Battle Brothel, with their own unique opinions on things like sexuality and what's considered an appropriate amount of gang warfare. The game was initially funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, which can be viewed here.

    Hero.EXE

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000xresist_header.jpg
Relive the memories of a god. Reclaim your legacy across time. RESIST a thousand-year-old lie.
1000xRESIST is an upcoming adventure game developed by Sunset Visitor, a Vancouver-based studio, and published/distributed by Future Traveller, the group that also distributed Citizen Sleeper, Paradise Killer, Pesterquest, Suzerain, and various other works.

The game's official reveal trailer is here, and its official website is here.

According to the game's synopsis on digital storefronts, 1000xRESIST will focus on a sisterhood of clones that has copied itself a thousand years past an alien invasion and the extinction of modern society. The main protagonist is named "WATCHER" due to her primary duty in the sisterhood: to preserve and relive the memories of their progenitor, the ALLMOTHER (Iris, the sole survivor of the alien attack), so that the sisterhood can continue. However, a rumor among the sisterhood soon leads to a devastating truth: someone has been tampering with their history. It is now WATCHER's duty to get to the heart of the matter, and decide which is the better course of action: to keep her sisterhood alive...or to burn it all to the ground.


    Princess Hunter 
Princess Hunter is an upcoming non-linear deckbuilding RPG by Cavemen programmerz. The game has been in development since late 2021, with its creators promoting it with a contest and tie-in webcomics, but no official release date has been announced, nor any demo currently available.

The game stars the Gunslinger, the last of a long lineage of legendary knights, who receives an offer he cannot refuse. One of his ancestors was a rebel that made a deal with the greatest villain in the multiverse, the Crimson King, and he must now settle the debt by finding the King a bride. Now working as a Princess Hunter, he must travel to various worlds, take on quests, and defeat ferocious monsters in order to hone his skills and make new allies, some of which will give him new combat abilities. Ultimately, he'll rescue the princesses, defeat the tyrant, and save the multiverse...or save the tyrant, defeat the princesses, and rule the multiverse, depending on his choices of deeds and words.

    Hidden Treasures 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiddentreasures_logo_original.png

Hidden Treasures is an upcoming visual novel Dating Sim with Tabletop RPG-inspired elements. In this work, players will be able to allocate their character's stat points, romance various cute Goblins (including some that identify as non-binary), and make decisions that will be influenced by the player's chosen strengths and weaknesses (and a little bit of luck), with both failed and successful skill checks potentially leading to new events.

The successful Kickstarter campaign for this visual novel is located here. An official Twitter account covering the story's development is located here, while the account of lead developer Gabe Hicks (who may be better known as a DM for Dimension 20 and Rooster Teeth) is located here. Finally, the game's itch.io page, which includes a functional demo version, is located here. Although the game was delayed past its expected 2022 release, statements on the official Kickstarter during 2023 state that it is still being worked on.

    State of Flux 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stateofflux_title_original.png

State of Flux: A Furry Transformation Visual Novel is, as the subtitle indicates, a furry transformative Visual Novel that is currently in development. The project is being headlined by Volkenfox, whose previous work includes similarly-themed art and writing in addition to co-creating The Pirate's Fate alongside T.F. Wright. A Kickstarter campaign to fund the project (located here) was launched in March 2019, and successfully reached its goal. There have been steady updates detailing its development, both through Kickstarter itself and Volkenfox's official Twitter account, but as of yet there is no set release date or playable demo.

Should the Kickstarter synopsis remain consistent with the full release, then in State of Flux, players will take on the role of Renat, a technician from a space colony that has been drafted into a scouting party to see if Earth is habitable once more after a past calamity led to humanity fleeing the planet. Once landed (or rather, crashed), it soon becomes apparent that a new civilization of uplifted animals has arisen, and whatever caused this change is also going to change the forms of Renat and his allies, for better or for worse.

    Coffee Buns 
Coffee Buns is an upcoming furry transformative visual novel by Cinnamon Switch. It will be a sequel to their previous work, Mice Tea. The project is mainly being worked on by KDhynamo and Zoe S. Figueroa, as another upcoming work with a "Freaky Friday" Flip focus, Crossed Signals, is being developed simultaneously by The Transformistress and Gunzil. The project was announced through the Cinnamon Switch Twitter account on May 30, 2023, with no set dates for a full release, though there is a publicly available demo (and an advanced demo for those supporting the team through Patreon).

According to pre-release material, Coffee Buns takes place two years after Mice Tea, with the transformative Kemono Tea now known by the world and changing society. The main protagonists are Leonardo "Leo" Bianco and Bonnie, employees at a struggling cafe, the titular "Buns" (as in bunny rabbits)...and two sides of the same coin. Supporting them on their journey of discovery are their employer, a woman known only as "Boss" who transforms into a wolf; Roman, who transforms into an otter; Ash (short for Ashleigh), who transforms into a skunk; and Naomi, who has decided to permanently stay in a half-deer form ever since she first drank Kemono Tea.

    Crossed Signals 
Crossed Signals is an upcoming transformative visual novel with a "Freaky Friday" Flip focus by Cinnamon Switch. The project is mainly being worked on by The Transformistress and Gunzil, with other members of the team developing Coffee Buns at the same time. The novel has no set release date, though a public demo is available here, in addition to an advanced demo exclusively for Patreon supporters.

The story stars a male college sophomore with a tech-savvy roommate that gifts him what seems to be a new phone. However, when he uses it, it turns out to actually be a device that swaps his mind with that of whoever he calls, and swapping back isn't going to be as easy. Now he's stuck in the body of either a friend, a teacher, or a bratty cheerleader, and she's stuck in his body in return. Regardless of whether they embrace the change and a transgender identity or desire their old lives and have to fake being each other long enough to return to them, they'll learn new things about themselves and each other. College life will never be the same after this...
