HeartCore Dev is a duo of French and Canadian developers currently working on The Symbiant, which is, to put it simply, is a self-indulgent BL game involving tentacles and a lot of porn, but also romance and friendship.

I happen to be one half of HeartCore Dev, the other half being my friend Irlana, who previously worked on and released Synthethic Lover.

Official summary:

In the year 5066, Danya and his alien friend Juniper are manning The Ameretat, a humble spaceship that transports goods across the Galaxy.

After a troubled transport gig that left their beloved ship in need of repair and their bank account empty, the team is offered a generous deal they cannot refuse: transporting a beautiful and mysterious alien who calls himself Brahve.

Sometimes at night, Danya hears strange things from Brahve’s room. What could he be hiding in there? And how will it affect the connection that’s quickly growing between the two men?

The Symbiant is a story-rich and erotic visual novel (with PG-13 version supported) about two adult men, both from vastly different worlds, embracing their sexuality and their newfound romance. It is also a tale of interstellar friendship and being gay in space!

The Kickstarter campaign ends on April 14th. At the time of writing, the project is 51% funded.
