Description

Battle Mage Tinon is a solo game developer assisted by a gathering of industry professionals who have come together to create inclusive sex-positive roleplaying experiences.

History

Early history

Battle Mages began as a Frankenstein's monster assembled from past prototypes by Tinon. At the time, Tinon had worked backend and game development jobs for multiple game studios, where they specialized in online connectivity, security, and data management. After tailoring and honing their skills for short of a decade, they combined an early web-based visual novel prototype with past server projects to create a visual novel styled MMORPG where players could communicate and interact in real-time. Though the solution was complex, the concept was simple: to create a dating game where players would date each other instead of set characters in the world, by facilitating roleplay between players.

Game debut

After three years of development, the game was revealed to the public for the first time in April of 2019 and became the first game of its kind: An erotic MMORPG for adults. The game was set at a dog-eat-dog magic academy where adult students were encouraged to use their powers however they saw fit in order to succeed. It was originally planned to be more of a roguelike, but would later be adapted to better facilitate roleplay. Back then it was named Battle Mage Royal, which was a play on “battle mage” and “battle royale”, which reflected the game's setting at the time of its conception in 2016. However, with the rise of battle royale games in 2017, the name suddenly took on a different meaning.

Battle Mages: Erotica

Until then, Battle Mages was largely developed by Tinon in their spare time, but with rising support from the game's community, Tinon was able to invest more time and resources into the game's development coming 2023. This meant Battle Mages would go from being a “hobby” project to becoming a professional occupation. To mark the beginning of a new era for the game and escape the battle royale association with its previous name, it would become Battle Mages: Erotica.
